Does the job very well. Easy to use and no loss of suction after two years. We have three dogs two cats and young children so a tall order for any vacuum. we haven't had the same problems as others with the sensor coming on its only happened when the machine is full or some thing has blocked the machine. Hopefully it continues to work well.

Had a lot of problems with the Red light coming on, cleaned all the filters as shown in the instruction manual and this did not help. There is another filter and this was blocked causing the fault. There are two filters on the side, one is the conical one accessed by the round cap- on the other side there is another hidden behind a plastic cover which is not labelled!! Two little plastic clips at the top hold it in place.

I agree with all the bad reviews written about the Bosch Runn'n. I purchased it to replace a Phillips Jewel which was old and not working particularly well. I now use the Phillips Jewel instead of the Bosch Runn'n as it is impossible to vacuum a room never mind a house with the Bosch without continually stopping, cleaning filters etc etc.

I don't have anything new to add to the other reviews that clearly state how unreliable, frustrating and terrible this vacuum is. It definitely needs to be called in. I live in a small granny flat and can't even vacuum my bedroom without having the sensor light go on and having to change the filters numerous times. It is terribly frustrating.
I went to Harvey Norman with a clear idea of the vacuum I wanted (not a bosch) but the sales assistant at Harvery Norman was adamant that Bosch is the best and we won't regret it. Big mistake that was. I will never look at a Bosch product again.

Since day 1 of owning this vacuum cleaner I have had so many incidences of the Sensor light coming on, it is so frustrating checking filters about 3 times every time I clean, when I know I have cleaned it out every time after using it only once!
It has powerful suction, which is useless if you can't use it .
I have done cleaning work for over 30 yrs and have never had to complain, yes some have had problems, but nothing like this one . Very unhappy

Well, I have nothing new to add here but couldn't stop from sharing similar experience of having expected a high quality product that turned out to be as dud as it gets. I am surprised that a company of Bosch's repute hasn't recalled the product and/or shared a way to fix the issue.

On some of the more tech savvy forums read it is an issue of faulty thermal switch caused by the filter around the motor. And here we are cleaning up the filters after every use.

Can't use it on my 1-bedder carpeted unit without the light going off 5-6 times.

I bought this thinking I would spend the money and buy a decent vacuum cleaner. It has been nothing but frustrating, it keeps turning off because of the sensor, it happens every couple of minutes. I have regularly washed the filter, and replaced the other one only to have the problem continuing. The problem has been doing it continuously since I purchased the vacuum cleaner. The store I bought it from refuses to cover anything under warranty, so I don't think I will ever look at a Bosch product ever again.

I think I am just repeating what everyone else has said. I had a Bissell that lasted years and then also got talked into buying this one from Harvey Norman. Should have trusted my instinct and bought another Bissell but the sales lady raved and raved about this one. Plus it was more expensive so I stupidly presumed I was getting a superior product. Not in the slightest. Worst vacuum I've owned in all my years. The stupid red light is on constantly. I am ready to throw it in the bin and go and buy a trusty Bissell

I purchased this vacuum cleaner after the assistant at Harvey Norman strongly recommended it. It worked fine to begin with but after six months it lost its suction and also started stopping in the middle of a clean. I'm extremely disappointed with the product, especially given the price point of $350.

Ever since we have purchased this vacuum we were lucky to vacuum the house once without the filter blocking. Now the filters have to be completely cleaned with water every time we use it. Very frustrating . I tried to purchase a full set of filters to have a back up, but to know avail. Buy with caution. We too were talked into getting this at Harvey Norman, and my husband worked there at the time selling white goods. There were many to pick from and we trusted their opinion, big mistake. Better to do your own research, even it you work there.

Honestly, a vacuum cleaner has one function, to suck up dust. What sort of vacuum cleaner shuts itself off when it has decided it has sucked up too much dust?! WHO SIGNED OFF ON THAT FUNCTION?! I have rang Harvey Norman and Bosch and neither were helpful at all. They just told me I needed to buy new filters. For a $400 vacuum cleaner, i don't appreciate having to buy a $50 filter every year.

If only these reviews were available before purchasing it. The vacuum cleaner came highly recommended from Harvey Norman. It worked very well initially but now I have the same problems as everyone else. Constantly cleaning filters and loss of suction. Very disappointing as it wasn't the cheapest (nor was it the dearest).

This would be the worst vacuum ever. Went to Harvey Norman-Shepparton to purchase a new vac (had the Dyson for 15 years!! - and only replacing because they had stopped making replacement parts!!) had and electrolux in mind, was then talked/conned into the Bosch Runn'n, great in store, and yes, very quiet, but as previously noted by others, it takes me longer to clean ALL the filters etc (which we specifically asked about and were told only takes a minute a month-big bloody fibber) before EVERY use, really disappointed, would not recommend at all. And also, we have cats, and cleaning their hair from the carpet is useless!!! Also, we only have a small home, mostly hard floors, except the bedrooms.

Quite simply unusable. I have to clean the vacume cleaner more than it cleans my small flat with only the stairs carpeted. The red light keeps coming on. Even after I have cleaned all the filters and emptied the dust. I am lucky if it stays running for 3 mins. Got my old Henry back up from the cellar. Not fit for purpose

Biggest waste of money ever. Got talked into it by Harvey Norman in Victoria. I cannot even get through my house without it red lighting for no reason. Even one room it struggles. Clogs up straight away. Useless machine. Has been back 3 times with no resolution, will NEVER buy Bosch again, we are Very disappointed.

This Bosch Runn'n (can't see the model number) was AMAZING for the first few months, we were beaming at just how great it was.... NOW the sensor light goes off and the vacuum stops working not just every time we use it but multiple times in one use. We have a very small 3 bedroom Victorian house and despite cleaning the filters and whole inside of the vacuum each use the sensor still keeps going off, in turn stopping the vacuum from working. This is so frustrating especially since we paid around $800 for it! Gahhhhh this vacuum cleaning is terrible! I just want a replacement that works!

No wonder this machine is discontinued. It is the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever used.
It worked beautifully for around 4 months, then the over sensitive sensor kept switching off the machine (despite my constant filter cleaning).
Debri is constantly getting stuck in all parts of the tubing, head and filters. The auto retract cord is extremely sensitive and is constantly retracting, and retracting with such force that the power point prongs at the end of the cord are all bent and hanging by a thread. Vacuuming my large house now takes hours because of the constant stopping, starting, filter cleaning, plugging back in, extending cord etc etc.
Bosch, you have scarred me for life. I will never purchase another Bosch product. Ever.
