Editorial Review:
Stick vacuums are smaller and lighter than upright vacuums but they still have the power to clean your floors. There are no better vacuum cleaners for quick pickups and they are usually very easy to store. The Eureka 166DX Boss 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum Cleaner is the perfect cleaner for your bare floors and delicate rugs.
Sometimes its hard to maneuver an upright vacuum cleaner on your stairs, furniture or other hard to reach areas. This is no problem for the 166DX stick vacuum cleaner. Just convert it into a hand vacuum cleaner and reach all the awkward spaces in your home. Also, youll protect your back from strain because a telescopic handle extends to whatever length you need it to.
The Eureka 166DX features a crevice tool that cleans narrow places. There are no bags to buy because this stick vacuum utilizes an easily accessible and easy to empty dirt cup. For sensational motor protection, a Clean Air System bypasses dirt around the fan blades. This prolongs the life of the vacuum motor.
When youre done cleaning bare floors, delicate rugs and hard to reach stairs just easily store the stick vacuum cleaner by contracting the telescopic wand. For an easy to store, convertible stick vacuum, try the Eureka 166DX Boss 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum Cleaner today!

To spruce up a hardwood floor or to tend to an isolated mess, Eureka offers this petite stick version of their Boss vacuum. Weighing less than 4 pounds, the 2-amp vacuum can be used as a hand-held dust buster or an upright sweeper for emergency clean up and lightweight dusting. In addition to the stick vacuum's light convenience efficacy, it features an allergen filtering, bagless design, thus reducing bag waste.
The stick vacuum motor design features a special clean air system, where dirt travels around the fan blades to prevent any dust from blowing back out into the air and prolong the life of the motor. Dust collects in a easy-to-empty dust cup. A telescopic handle enables upright and hand-held use and is crafted for ergonomic comfort while vacuuming vertically on stairs or upholstery. A crevice tool and a floor nozzle are also provided. The vacuum cord spans a distance of 15 feet. This cleaning appliance is most successful when used on hard floors rather than dense carpeting. The stick vacuum is covered by a one-year limited warranty. With the telescopic handle down, the vacuum measures 5-1/4 by 6-1/10 by 25-1/2 inches and weighs 3-4/5 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

Eureka 166DX Boss Lightweight Stick Vacuum:
With all tile floors,and 4 dogs, I needed something more efficient than a broom, yet light weight and easy to grab anytime I needed to pick up some stray dog hairs or dirt that is always present when you have 4 dogs.. I love this vacuum stick! Its so easy, and light weight! On floors, I daresay it works better than my large vacuum! My only complaint would be that the cord is too short. The opening at the bottom is not large enough to pick up leaves, or anything larger like that, but as a quick clean up... more info
Does the job:
Because of our light need for the stick vacuum, I got a more low end model. The Boss gets the job done on our hard wood floor and surprisingly doesn't clog with hair or other small particulates. The only downside is that it seems to not be very sturdy. While I haven't had any problems myself, I doubt it could take a real beating. This isn't a surprise for the price range it was in.
2 stars at best:
It will pick up animal hair off wood floors. Has no effect on carpet, whatsoever. Has all the power of a $10 drugstore dust vacuum. Way underpowered.
Product, not much. Amazon was as always, excellent.
Noise prevents top rating:
Love this tool! Sure makes life easier. Surprisingly powerful, but I guess the price of that strong little motor is the loudness of it, which means that I cannot get my 11-year-old with sensitive ears to use it (will try ear plugs). I like that the cord is short; on one hand it may seem like a hassle to have to re-plug it often, but on the other hand, just think of it as exercise, folks. The shorter cord keeps the weight down when coiled up, and is quicker to coil up. Same with the cord wrap--just think of... more info
