EZ Kleen Cordless Lightweight Vacuum CleanerDon’t let a power cord put limits on your cleaning.

At less than five pounds, the Boss Lite is easy to lift, push, and store, and comes with its own wall-mount rack, conveniently connected to the charging plug. Fully extended, the handle makes for comfortable floor vacuuming, but you can also remove it to vacuum tight areas like closets or tidy up the stairs.

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.
