Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Eureka 409B The Boss Superlite Widetrack Vacuum
Customer Review: "Never get mad at something without brains" --This is theException.
Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking for a vacuum to replace a light-weight vacuum by Oreck, which they no longer make. That vacuum wasn't expensive, costing under $100 - so I think we're talking the same ball park here.
This vacuum is very noisy, as most people put in their review. I wouldn't mind that if it did it's job. This Eureka Superlite is too bulky to go under the bed, and with no hose attachment - buy a Swiffer too.
I find the suction poor, so much so, I'd rather use my big, bulky upright though it is heavy. I find it a waste of time to vacuum with this vacuum that can't hold a candle to the Oreck or other lightweight I had.
The cord seems long from the description, but every room you enter, the plug has to be removed and replugged. Do one room at a time. Please think about that - 20 feet of cord would cross a 15 foot room, the other 5'doesn't go anywhere.
It is NOT fantastic - barely picking up cat litter without having the granules bounce around it's base and out to another part of the room.
My opinion is if you're looking to pick up a bit of dust on a bare floor, get it. If you need to do a rug, stairs, or hope to get out of one room to a hallway, you'll actually get mad at a machine. How bad is that?
Description of Eureka 409B The Boss Superlite Widetrack Vacuum
This lightweight Eureka vacuum cleans beautifully on carpet and bare floors and is fun to use. Strong enough for any job with a telescopic handle and a motorized brushroll it combines two powerful motors, an easy-empty dirt cup and an extra long power cord to offer powerful cleaning and convenience.If anything could be said to make vacuuming "fun," it's this compact, ultra-lightweight little unit. Weighing just eight pounds, the Boss Superlite Widetrack is a fine compromise between a heavy conventional upright and a hand-held vacuum: light enough for even little kids to use, powerful enough to suck up an impressive amount of debris, and way easier on the back than bending over with a handheld or broom. The two-motor system powers a rotating brushroll to get plush pile carpets deep clean, then lets users switch it off to vacuum hardwoods or other delicate floors--a real plus, since units with a constantly-spinning brushroll tend to kick up dust when cleaning hard surfaces. The easy-empty dirt cup is transparent so you can see when it's full, and the wide 12-inch cleaning path rivals that of the Superlite's much bigger cousins. The telescoping handle extends for cleaning, then folds down for compact storage (or use on stairs, where a handy stair-cleaning grip means there's no tricky balancing to do). With just a 3-amp motor, the Boss Superlite Widetrack is probably best for last-minute touch-ups and light jobs, but it's effective enough for full-time use in dorm rooms or small apartments as well. Users with pets or small children will find it especially handy for keeping on top of daily clean-up. The unit measures a compact 12 inches by 6 inches by 27-1/3 inches with the handle extended, features a 20-inch-long power cord, and is covered by a one-year warranty. --Mary Park
