Product Description

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

I have just bought the Eureka Super Lite Wide Track at Walmart. I have been looking for something that is easier to get out than my bulky canister vac. I vacuumed my bedroom, the hallway and my living room. I hadn’t vacuumed in a while and it got up lots of stuff. I also vacuumed the kitchen floor. I was really happy with the performance on the berber carpets. It also was just fine on the kitchen floor. It seems like it is easy enough to use and it isn’t tiring to vacuum with it being so light weight. I will post more as I use it more and hope this is a good vacuum for the long term.

We are quite pleased with this product. We read the reviews of others who had purchased this particular vacuum, and we found their reviews very helpful. We did purchase exactly what we wanted.

I was warned by other reviewers that this was a screechy number, so I put in my earplugs and no problem.
It is a very good compromise between the huge standard uprights or canister vacs and the handy handhelds, which also have their uses. It is well designed, light weight and its dust bin is transparent, so you really know when you have to empty it.

I bought this Vacuum for my one bedroom apartment. It sucks up dirt off the carpet well, which is about all I really cared about.
The cord might be a bit short for really large rooms, but it was just fine for my place.
I was a little apprehensive about turning the vacuum on, based on the noise complaints from other reviewers. Honestly, I’m not sure what they’re talking about. It’s noisy, like you would expect from a vacuum, but no where near uncomfortable levels.

This is actually the second time we have purchased this model. I had bought the original one to use in the small apartment I had. Since marrying, my wife used it extensively in our large home vacuuming the wooden floors. She likes it because it is so light. However, in time the handle broke on the original unit. After a lot of shopping in brick and mortar store and on line, we bought the same unit again. There are a few small changes between the original unit and this one, but essentially it is the same vacuum. The salient points: it’s light, effective, and inexpensive.
