Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch BSA2100UC Compact Plus Series Canister Vacuum, Midnight Blue
Customer Review: Hard Surface Floor Only
Summary: 3 Stars
While this vacuum has some great suction, it was not meant for carpets or rugs. I can't even move the head back and forth because it gets caught on the carpet.
It does work great on hard surface floors and it is easy to move around because of the light weight.
Customer Review: Poor Vacuum
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this vacuum based on the very positive reviews. However, I am sorry I bought it for the following reasons. There is a suction control on the top that is a real joke. Even with it turned up all the way, I find that it won't suck up many of the little crumbs on the kitchen floor unless the center of the floor attachment is directly centered over the crumb. If it is at one of the edges of the attachment, it usually doesn't get sucked up. I end up taking off the attachment and using the bare hose end to get thing sucked up
The next annoyance is the short cord. I have to constantly keep pluging it into a closer receptacle even in the same room.
And speaking of the cord, after only a few months of use, the cord no longer retracts and I can see no way to get into the mechanism to unstick it or whatever to fix it.
The vacuum does not turn a corner very well and usually ends up turned over on its side when pulled at an angle.
Anyhow, the short of it is that it has a VERY POOR suction and this is my main gripe with the vacuum. I think I will go back to the tried and true Sears vacuum which does have great suction.
Customer Review: Never again...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this vacuum based on my husband's experience with Bosch tools in his carpentry studio. That was a mistake. The suction is poor; the hose and bags don't always match up, leaving dust to collect inside the cavity (despite my repeated efforts to line everything up correctly); the vent points directly at the user, blowing hot, stinky air on you while you work, and cannot it be redirected; the bags are expensive and difficult to match up with the model you own; the cord is too short by about three feet; it tips over easily....shall I go on? It appears that the engineers who do such a fine job with their power tools were left off of this project. I will end up replacing this vacuum far soon than expected and it sure won't be with another Bosch!Customer Review: It's compact but there's no Plus!
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased to clean hardwood and tile floors, vacuum upholstry, and under furniture where I can't reach with an upright. First, it doesn't pick up the light dust covering on the hardwood so I feel it isn't removing the dust from the oriental rugs. I have to hold it at a certain angle in order to create the suction which is quite difficult when lying on the floor trying to get under sofa or beds. It will pick up large items such as cheerios if you hold it in just the right manner. If I wanted to go to vacuum 101, I would have signed up for it. I wanted to dust with it as canisters lend themselves to this job but cannot find a dusting brush for it. The positive is that it is light.Customer Review: Not impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this vacuum over a year ago and I have not been impressed. It flips over easily, blows air right at you (cannot re-direct air flow), doesn't pick up very well on hardwood floors and does not have a brush attachment for small areas. I also don't like the price of the bags! The "indicator" light for the bag replacement stopped working a few weeks after I got it. The one thing it has going for it is that it is very quiet. I would not recommend it.
