Eureka 96B The Boss Lite Upright Cordless Bagless Vacuum

 |
Description
Don't let a power cord put limits on your cleaning. The Eureka Boss Lite cordless vacuum supplies plenty of suction and versatility without a cumbersome, leashlike cord. Designed for quick pickup on bare floors or carpets, this bagless vacuum features a convenient dust cup for dirt collection--when it's full, just quick-release it, and dump it out. At less than five pounds, the Boss Lite is easy to lift, push, and store, and comes with its own wall-mount rack, conveniently connected to the charging plug. Fully extended, the handle makes for comfortable floor vacuuming, but you can also remove it to vacuum tight areas like closets or tidy up the stairs. A motor-driven brush roll sweeps and combs the carpet, sending particles into the path of the suction. Requiring just a few minutes to assemble, the vacuum features a powerful five-cell battery pack that's easy to remove and replace and a charge light that lets you know when the vacuum's fully juiced. Eureka also includes a bare floors/carpet switch, a built-in Edge Kleener for vacuuming near walls and furniture, and a motor filter inside the dust cup. --Emily Bedard

Great Vac for Quick PIckups. 5 StarsThursday, May 12, 2005
I bought the Boss Quick Vac for our office. Everyone here liked it so much the five of us all bought one for our homes. You can't expect a full version of a sweeper when it has "Lite" in the name!
Another great product I found that I use for my hardwood floors is the Swiffer vac. It is great for picking the little bits of dirt that the swiffer can't always get and it is around $20! Had it for about six months now and it is amazing.

Came Back for Another OneSunday, May 08, 2005
We have had our original Boss vacuum over 3 years and found it to be a really great addition to using a regular vacuum. It doesn't pick up like a standard vacuum but because it is so easy to use, the house gets vacuumed more often (and therefor stays cleaner). I can do almost the entire main living area of our house on a single charge and bought an additional battery pack when a single battery isn't enough. Ours get used 3 to 7 times a week and we have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 boys to clean up after.
After 3 years here's the "good and not so good":
Good:
-- Lighweight, manuverable, and mechanically reliable
-- Battery life is acceptable and replacement batteries are relatively cheap
-- Dirt container is easy to empty and clean
Could be better:
-- Battery connection to unit is cheap and corrodes after time (we found that what we thought was weak batteries was just poor connection -- it's easy to clean but not the best design)
-- Dog and cat hair poses an issue with the rollers on the bottom of the unit - it clogs the rollers and is difficult to clean out without dismantling the vacuum brush head
-- The roller design is cheap and is the only mechanical item on the unit to fail -- the shafts supporting the rollers broke their mounts and came off
As mentioned above -- we use this unit ALOT and I figure for over 3 years of use the $29 purchase price is well worth it so I came back to purchase another one.

A godsend of a vacuum cleaner!Monday, April 25, 2005
I love this vacuum cleaner. So small and lightweight, it is incredibly convenient, easy to whip out at a moment's notice and clean up. I'm in the habit of pulling it out and going over the place each morning, so I can enjoy a clean floor all day long. Definitely a great find.

Makes life easier!Monday, April 25, 2005
I received The Boss Lite for my birthday and can't believe how I lived without it. So light and handy, it makes "sweeping" my 18'x20' laminate kitchen floor a breeze! I would highly recommend anyone with hard flooring of any kind (wood, laminate, tile, linoleum) that wants to simplify clean-up to purchase this vacuum. We have two kids (four & three) and crumbs from meal time are cleaned up in under a minute. Its detachable handle makes it easier to get into smaller spaces. I thank my mother-in-law every time I see her for giving this wonderful gift!

Love it!!Tuesday, April 12, 2005
This is a wonderful vacuum for light cleaning! It is absolutely the easiest I have used, and I love that I can go anywhere with it and not have to worry about a plug!
The person who thinks it doesn't pick up enough- please remember that it is not there to replace the vacuum you use to clean the whole house. It (like all cordless vacs) is made for spot cleanings and quick pick-ups. That's why the power only lasts 20 minutes or so.
This is by far the best cordless vac I have used!!!
