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

Good for a cheap VC:
My other vacuum cleaner is a Miele, which is far superior in most ways. (Should be - cost 10 times as much.) But the little Eureka Boss SuperLite is great for quick clean-ups. I'm disabled and the Miele is heavy, so using it is a big production. In contrast, the Eureka is easy to pick up and move - even from my wheelchair It has no attachments, so it's only for floors. But it's what I wanted and I'm pleased with my purchase.
A great vacuum for the $$$:
I already had a Kirby when I purchased my Eureka Superlite vacuum. I had to carry the Kirby upstairs every time I needed to vacuum there and had fears of falling down the stairs with it due to it being so heavy and awkward to carry. My plan was to use the Eureka upstairs most of the time and only use the Kirby when I needed to do a more thorough job. Instead I am using this little vacuum downstairs as well. It is so easy to carry and use. I was amazed how well it picked up pet hair from my 2 dogs and cat as... more info
"Never get mad at something without brains" --This is theException.:
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.

It really is a great little vacuum:
I have gone through 4 vacuum cleaners in the last 6 years, and this one has lasted me the last 2. I have a small apartment with 4 cats, so you can imagine there is lots of cat hair to clean up all the time. I use this vacuum weekly, and it really does do a great job. It also has a Floor option that works well, unlike the Dirt Devil I used to have.
