Bosch Home Appliances Athlet BCH6PETAU (Tomato Red) Questions & Answers

Hi. My bosch athlet zoo'o won't go onto full power anymore. I was using it one day and it was working as usual and then I turned it on again and since then it won't slide into the turbo suction setting. Also later on, after this issue started it (as someone else has mentioned) to do this occasional crack sound in the handle as well, on carpets. How can I fix the not clicking into turbo problem?

I have the Bosch Athlet red upright cleaner. I wash the filter and clean the brush regularly but when I lift the cleaner head to go up a stair or stop the cleaner debris falls out of the head. It does not pickup and deposit little bits of stuff in the container. Suggestions please?

Hi, My hoover is loosing power or totally shutting down whilst in use. If seems to me there is a loose connection and this happens mostly when i'm pulling the hoover back towards me rather than in the forward motion. Can anyone help?
Thanks

My bosch athlete 18v is only 2 weeks old and the no 1 setting has stopped working. No 2 and 3 work perfectly. What is wrong with it?

My Athlet's red light comes on almost as soon as I start to use it, it has lost most of its suction and deposits any grit back onto the floor when I switch it off and carry back to the kitchen.....Any ideas?

Once fully charged, should it be unplugged or left charging?

I have bought two Bosch Athlet (white) was very impressed with the first one but after 12-18 months use the brushed stopped working on it.
Being busy and not having time to seek a repair I bought a second one (red) however the brush head on that one has also stopped working and that was is less than a year old.
Rather than my cupboard becoming a graveyard for "nearly works" cleaners I though you can help in resolving the problem.

I bought my Bosch Athlet cordless few months ago. It worked properly, I used it only 2-3 times but last time when I plugged it in the battery was not charging. Though the filter and all belongings were not dirty as such I have cleaned everything and tried to charge it again but the battery is still not charging. Any help?

My turbo button won't slide down? Any help?

The brush won't go round, band appears loose how do I replace?

one of the small rollers is stuck not sure how to remove and clean?

My Bosch Animal Athlete is sucking but dust is not going into the container. How do I unblock it ?

How long will last the vacuum cleaner? How long is the battery life and can it be replaced? Or that is the end of vacuum cleaner? Zuzana

One of the small rollers near the power head brush has stopped rotating. Can it be removed to be cleaned (I suspect there is hair wrapped around the 'axel')?

Why does dust and grit fall out the bottom of my pro animal cordless Bosch vacuum when I switch it off.
This is really annoying as I think everything else about the cleaner is great.

Hello purchased a Bosch Allfloor Athlet from Costco and it keeps stop starting whilst I'm using it?? It takes ages to do the hoovering as it keeps cutting out. Ive cleaned the filter and changed it. And i keep it in good condition. Ive had the hoover less than a year, maybe 7 months? Any help?

I have a Bosch athlet pro animal Hoover and whilst hoovering the handle completely snapped off just under the on off switch, my Hoover was only brought in July 2016 so I am assuming that this is a design fault, as to be honest you don't expect any handle to snap off of any Hoover,I have my reciept and took out and paid for extra insurance so I am under the impression that I will get an immediate replacement, any thoughts? Regards.

My Bosch Athlet Turbo, whilst charging, will not vacuum. I have used it before, and have cleaned out the filter. This was meant to be an easy, more or less lightweight, cleaner for a smallish home, but I am now very annoyed with its non-use.

I will be taking it to the local appliance shop where I bought it, but this is rather an inconvenience for what I spent out, and Bosch may well have to face reimbursing me for the trouble and poor performance if I choose to force this into a legal action.

It seems others have had an issue with their Bosch cleaner. I would have hoped that a German manufacturer would have been able to keep to the high calibre of other German products. I have German roots myself.

I would appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience.
