In the interest of public service, I thought I would share my review of the performance evaluation of the Eureka "The Boss" SmartVacuum. First of all, I chose this model over a few other because I figured the black model would be more slimming. I like tha handle, it's quite comfortable. It would also be quite handy to hang something from. (I would not think a water bottle would be a wise choice!) It was rather lightweight and I thought the light on the front was bright. (Who vacuums in the dark???) When I turned the puppy on, I was impressed with how quiet it was. The cats did not scurry quite as fast as they did with the deceased vacuum. However, the little pedal doo-hickey thing you step on to let the vacuum push easier was hard as hell to get to work. Even with my tennis shoes on, it was a bitch to get it to release. I normally vacuum shoeless - and this would cause a problem. It sucked like a Hoover (bad analogy?). How about it sucked like a porn star? However, it didn't seem like it picked up everything - especially on hardwood floors. (It says on the box it's great on hardwoods too.) And, when you inadvertently run over your foot with the vacuum, it hurts like a MF. I guess that's another reason why one should wear shoes while operating. I don't think the Eureka "The Boss" Smart Vacuum is the vacuum for me. But I would like to thank Walmart for letting me take it for a test spin. Maybe I'll try the pretty orange one next week? I have reservations about that one because orange is not one of my colors - but they say that orange is this season's pink, so maybe I'll give it a shot. What do you think? |

vacuum cleaners are a mystery to me. I had one a few years ago.. the cheapest one in the store (i was broke) and it worked so good until I somehow lost it during moving or something... however, my mom has one of those $2000 rainbow vacuums and the thing doesnt work all that great and its a pain cuz you have to keep changing the water. When I have to think about shopping for a vacuum I try to go for the little cheapo ones!

I was going to recommend a vacuum, and then I thought that built-in system would be nice, then I realized ... I REALLY want a hot young hunk to come do all my housework for me.

Well, my 2 cents are get either a Dirt Devil or a Bissle bagless vacuum. I've had both of these and they work fantastic!

I say if I could just sit around while you vacuum and crack me up then I'll be complete!
This entire post made me giggle and I hardly EVER giggle! I'm too tough.
Why don't you get that one that the annoying British guy talks about all the time? He bugs me but I heard it was a good one.

I don't really have an opinion other than the title of this blog rocking my world.
You could buy a Dyson for like a million bucks, but the guy in the commercials is such a smug ass. Don't give him your money!

I was once told, "Nothing sucks like Electrolux", by an Electrolux salesman of course. I have some experience with vacuum's since I put myself through college working for a cleaning service who used nothing but Electrolux. They're too pricey for me. I've had a very basic Dirt Devil for about 7 years, and it's seen one heck of a tour of duty. It's on it's last leg now and I've been shopping around myself. I think I'm going with the Dirt Devil bagless model, can't remember the name but it's not the most expensive one. Wally-World carries them :)

I just chunked my Eureka into the dumpster and got a Dyson. Expensive, but since I was buying a new vacuum every year, I figured I would just go for it, and try to make this one last. And it comes in a wide variety of colors and styles, for the vacuum-fashion conscious.

Does it really suck better? And what if it dies in a year? Then what?

I'm speak quite regularly of being in the market for a hottie to do household chores, yardwork and home repairs - in a loincloth. Until then...

I think that dude in the Dyson commercials is a smug ass too - but he might be a nice guy - throw in a British accent...
Maybe I could get engaged and register for a vacuum... How long do you have to stay married before you'd have to send back the gifts?

It would rock if it would play to music from Jaws while you vacuumed....

I'm all for hot studs. They wouldn't even need to plug in the vacuum, just push it around the house. I'd sit on the sofa and drool.

I've learned - creative titles to posts makes ALL the difference in the world.

I think my deceased one was a Hoover. But my mother never returned the 'remains' so I have no clue. I had it for at least 7 years...

It sucked a AAA battery out from under my couch, among other things.......If it dies in a year, I will be going to Mr. Dyson's house and smashing it into tiny little pieces all over his front lawn.

A AAA battery isn't that impressive. Had it been a "D" battery, I would have been impressed. ;)
