The Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh 5893BVZ is billed as the perfect upright vacuum cleaner for pet owners. The 4D Pet Fresh 5893BVZ emits two times the odor eliminating power of baking soda to help rid your home of unwanted odors caused by pets and other household sources. The turbo nozzle utilizes the Power Paw Power Brush to loosen and lift pet hair from upholstery and carpet with ease, and a sealed HEPA filtration system helps remove up to 99.97% of dust, allergens and pet dander from the home environment. These features and others make this machine perfect for those pet owners who are prone to allergies.

The Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh 5893BVZ is a handy machine in the fight against pet hair and odor because the entire machine has been designed for just that purpose. Many machines are equipped with some of the same features, but the 4D Pet Fresh has maximized the potential of these features and fine-tuned them to specifically tackle the messes that pets can leave behind. One of the best features of this unit is the patented Power Paw Power Brush which has been produced with a specially designed rubber strip and plastic teeth that not only combs up pet hair, it is actually supposed to attract it. Another inclusion is the sealed HEPA filtration with Arm & Hammer Pet Fresh that manages to filter out dander and odor and keeps it trapped in the unit.

This "specialized" machine is able to be used on not only carpeting, but on hard floors as well just by adjusting the vacuum height located on the base of the model and by turning the brushroll on or off depending on the surface. A handy wand is also included, making it easy for the operator to reach under furniture and into tight corners. The wand is further utilized with the included crevice wand and dusting brush, which are easily stored on the body of the machine for easy access. The dusting brush is particularly helpful for cleaning baseboards and does a great job on lampshades, a natural place for drifting pet hair and dander to land. The easy-empty dust cup is filter free which makes emptying the dust cup that much easier.

Other details include a 12 amp motor, standard 30 ft. cord and bagless feature. The telescopic self-cleaning duster is a smart addition and literally attracts dust like a magnet off of surfaces. The cleaning path of the Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh 5893BVZ is a generous 15 inches, perfect for aggressive carpet cleaning. The standard cleaning path on most upright vacuum cleaners is only 12 inches, so the 15 inches on the 4D Pet Fresh is extra wide by comparison and is a width more commonly found on commercial machines. The height is 44.5 inches.

The main drawback of this machine is its weight. At a heavy 24.2 pounds, this unit may be hard for some people to use for any extended period of time on heavily carpeted areas. Other limitations include the lack of an edge cleaner for effective suction close to baseboards, and the fact that the handle cannot be adjusted to the user’s height.

Overall, this is a case where the consumer gets what they pay for. This machine sells for around $100-$150 and pet owners who struggle with maintaining a home free of pet hair, dander and odors will be enticed by the lower price. The problem is that while the entire machine was designed to handle pet hair, it has such lousy suction that it can’t!
