Eureka 4870RZ Pet Lover Upright Vacuum Reviews
The user reviews for the Pet Lover upright were almost unanimous giving favorable reviews, “”I needed to replace a vacuum taken in a break-in and needed it quick. The Boss was recommended by CR which was good enough for me. I picked it up at Sears a couple hours later and upon getting it home found it to be an improvement over the previous vacuum I had for not much more money. ”
Users say despite the price (which normally sells for $160 via online) the vacuum performs quite well. “I picked this up based on the reviews on here and when I turned it on, I could really feel the power. I set it to work on a dark carpet that was graying from all the cat hair. 2 minutes later the carpet was like new.” Users say that the value they get from the 4870 RZ exceeds their expectation in that upright vacuum price range.
User reception of the tools were also very favorable, saying “ It turns off the brush on the floor when in the upright position. this is realy good for while you are using the hose. the brushes arent rotating putting wear on those parts.”
