This vacuum has improved my life,
However debris-free our kitchen floor may be in the morning, it is, by the end of the night, usually covered in a fine layer of crushed Cheerios. What’s to be done? Picking up stuff with a broom and dustpan is laborious. Hauling out the regular vacuum cleaner is too much to ask. And much as I love the Swiffer–and I do love the Swiffer–its forte is dust clean-up, not picking up crumbs.
Enter the Eureka Boss Lite Upright Cordless, probably the best product I bought last year. It’s light. It holds its charge long enough to do everything I’ve ever wanted to do with it. It slips on and off its recharging holder thing easily. And it does a good job, thank you very much–by which I mean that I have pretty much abandoned the aforementioned regular vacuum cleaner (in every room, not just the kitchen) because I just don’t need it anymore. And of course the big advantage is that because of its great ease of use one can more easily and more often clean one’s floor. On an average day I probably take this thing out two or three times.
Another reviewer mentioned the desirability of having a hose attachment for getting into corners. I would like this too, if (and only if) it could be added to the machine without making it (the machine) any more cumbersome or complicated. At any rate, a delightful vacuum cleaner that has made life easier around here. I highly recommend it.

I compared this to a Dirt Devil 14.4V (model # 083414). They offer similar suction (adequate) and battery life (15 minutes).
The Eureka uses only 6V (i.e. more efficient motor and system) and can swap batteries. An extra battery is included in this EUK96DZ model (from my local Sears), all for $36, a better value than the DD (about $50).
The DD can stand up by itself, very handy, while the Eureka is best to be used without its telescopic handle. If you’ll clean multiple rooms at a time, go Eureka for you can swap batteries. If you need to clean in narrow areas such as cars and stairs, you also want to go Eureka for you can remove the long handle.
This ends my search for the best cordless vacuums and what I end up is:
An iRobot Roomba 530 for routine room cleaning ($250).
A Shark SV736 for random spot cleaning and for cars and computers etc ($36).
Optional Eureka EUK96DZ for even more convenience ($36).
So convenient and much less noisy. Farewell to cords!
As always, go to youtube to watch the video for better quality.
A tip: when searching for a cordless vac, don’t just look at the voltage. Higher voltage marking does not necessarily mean more suction, as is in this case: the Eureka uses only 6V, less than half of the 14.4V of DD! What rules is a good system design and good parts used in the product.
