I bought this cleaner on the name Bosch. Complete mistake. It is the most poorly designed cleaner I have evers used. You can ' t use it more than once or twice without the filters blocking. The catches that keep it together are plastic and of poor design. If not carefull it falls apart when carrying.If you do not clean it out as often as said, there is a complete loss of power.I had the cleaner 8 months . Useless, Bosch should refund everyone who bought one.There is nothing to put right if returned .I have a number of tools by Bosch. This item does not deserve the name.

Avoid this vacuum cleaner . I was fooled by the Bosch brand having had a great washing machine this came as a shock . The suction goes from good to zero in 2 minutes unless you constantly clean out the filters . Not very mobile either seems to drag along . Noisy and blows out hot air - or dust or both . Avoid!

I brought this vaccum, based on its power and the company being Boosch i thought it would be reliable, i have just read the review before mine and the same problems have occured with my vacuum. After just using it 3 times the container that hold the dust in did not close at all, and the hoover started to burn up and smelt like it was on fire. We got a Boosch engineer to have a look and he said it smelt like it was burning because the motor was getting dust trapped in it due to the container not being closed. They gave us a new machine and now again its got the same fault which the engineer said wouldnt happen as Boosch had redesigned the machine so it would close ...  Read the complete review

"It has always been an unbearable thought to me that someone could inspect one of my products and find it inferior in some way. For that reason I have consistently tried to produce products which can withstand the closest scrutiny - products which prove themselves to be superior in every respect."

Recently, we purchased a vacuum cleaner from Argos, specifically a Bosch BX3 Pets Bagless Cylinder Cleaner. Unlike our experience with your other ...  Read the complete review
