    NOT IDEAL

    published

    Use it on hard floors and carpet. Ok on hard floors but the brushes don't always rotate and I have cleared any possible blockages. The hand held tool is useful though for stairs and "bits" on the floor. Easy to empty. Fortunately I have mostly hard floors! Just replaced it with a Dyson but will keep the Bosch for the hand held function.

    Honestly this is like a kid's toy hoover............not much suction at all and very flimsy...........it is going back to the shopping channel as soon as I can re wrap it. Don't waste your time and money on this. Cheap plastic casing and tools, the crevice tool just stays in the crevice and has to be re fitted every time you move it, the whole thing is about as cheaply constructed as possible.

    Should have been tested first

    published

    Fortunately not a lot but it is carpet with a descent pile so cannot push it you can only pull it backwards it's ok on hard surfaces though and the suction seems fine but who on earth tried and tested this for you like this cleaner they should replaced. Don't think you will reply to this just like all the others who have said the same it's no good on carpet

    This the worst vacuum I have ever had the displeasure to meet. Do not buy this waste of money. Suction is poor, the ability to deposit the waste into the dust collector is a bad joke. The only saving grace is the hand held section which is fine. try the Shark instead.

    Better than I thought it would be

    published

    Cordless but still has plenty of suck when used like a normal vacuum. Not so good when you take the hand held part away. But I think that is more of the design of the hole it sucks through. It works great as a push vac.

    Charge station is a breeze, keeps it charged so we can use it frequently. Handle folds in half so it can be put under a bench too. It's not designed to do a whole house in one go. We have a main vacuum for that. But this manages all the tiled area really well. Easy to maneuver with a good swivel head.

    The 'bin' is quite small but easy to empty. It's surprising how much lint and dust gets sucked up as it is all visible.

    Very Dissapointed

    published

    Totally Useless on carpets with a decent pile.Suitable only for hard floors.Cannot be pushed even with force Should have been stated on the box & advertising. I have always thought highly of Bosh we have an excellent washer, also electric drill & sander,from 1988. Do not think this up to Bosch staandard. Pauline R.

    Poor storage waste of time...

    published

    It is ok if you have a bit of fluff to hoover on a hard floor, absolutely useless on rugs/carpets, BUT, what annoys me the most is the storage of the hoover. It wont stand up so, now has my walls marked and is always sliding/crashing down despite how well I try to balance it.. It does say handle folds for easy storage,... except to do that you have to have enough floor space to lay it down and then you cant charge the thing as handle folds over the charge point...Really Bad Design Bosch. My sister has one that has its own charge stand so always charges when in it...why was this changed??

    Ideal!

    published

    Bought this for my smallish work living quarters that has low grade/profile carpeting. I have no storage space for a larger unit. I find it easy to use, easy to keep clean and easy to store. Basically, no hassles and it does what it is designed to do. I do keep the filter clean for maximum performance after each daily use. For larger jobs, I have to use the company equipment but that only happens twice a year. I will be purchasing one of these 2in1's when I return to the states (or buy a compatible power transformer for use on 110v)!

    I am happy with mine

    published

    Does what it is supposed to do, I am very happy with mine, I bought it November 2015 and it has not missed a beat.
    I use it for small clean ups or a quick clean in the kitchen or bathroom as it is much easier and lighter than bringing out the big vacuum cleaner - good on carpets as well.
    I am very happy with the overall performance.

    Worst product I bought. Waste of money.

    published

    Worst product I have bought. Was happy when I saw it in store suction seemed to be good. Really good on my back and easy to use. After a few months didn't have much suction. Have to empty filters about 3-4 times every use. Put up with it for long enough and am over it now. Would not recommend to anyone. Very disappointed.

    Handy dandy

    published

    For the occasional clean ups, and versatility of the removable hand held vacuum, this is a good option. Not as strong as a barrel vacuum but for its type it is pretty darned useful. It has a decent motor and vacuum suction, it's manoeuverable and very easy to place back on the charger. Quick and easy to store and to use. Well designed, overall.

    Over a year later and still going great! Really pleased. Mine deals with a lot of pet fur so I clean out the roller brush often, but once that's done it's back to being a great workhorse!

    A good move!!

    published

    Bought this in the berry to replace my long suffering Ergorapido (Electrolux) - was a little wary as no reviews on it as yet but pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I had it up and running! It is seems to have a lot more grunt than my old Electrolux (even when it was new!), is quiet, lightweight and easy to manouevre and clean - all in all a great little unit that works well on wooden flooring and rugs in my place - a happy little camper!
    Lightweight, easy to manouevre, versatile and looks good to boot!

    Hi my instruction manual says the blue light will go off when fully charged. But after 12 hours charge it stays blue. Is something wrong?

    Hi Melinda,
    Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch vacuum.
    Please see an excerpt from the manual below:

    The indicator remains lit for as long as the vacuum cleaner is connected to the mains via the charger. It does not go out even when the vacuum cleaner batteries are fully charged. It is normal for the charger and vacuum cleaner to become hot and not a cause for concern.

    If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

    Bosch Home Australia
