Customer Review: Not perfect, but the best we've seen.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the other reviews, we were concerned about the hose length, but attracted to light, quiet, and cleans well. We bought from Costco online which allows return directly to the store, so we were willing to take a gamble on this, even though we could not find a display unit here in Salt Lake City.
Now that we've used it for a few weeks, we're fine with the hose length and extensible handle. Cord length is somewhat shorter than on the old Kenmore we are now relegating to the basement. Cord length can be a little annoying.
Unit cleans well. We have hardwood and grouted ceramic tile floors and have used a cannister for many years. Even on it's lowest power setting the unit cleans the floors just fine. I would estimate the noise at about 65-70 dB on low. Most of that is in the hose and attachments, you can hardly hear the unit alone. You can easily carry on a conversation over the noise of the vacuum without raising your voice, or listen to music/TV. We turn the power up for cleaning furniture/fabrics.
The unit comes with a hose and removable, extensible wand. The tool kit includes a beater bar/floor tool, a crevice tool, a small soft brush, and a small hard brush. We found the beater bar/floor tool works great for our two area rugs. It certainly is also effective cleaning hard floor surfaces, but the unit is heavy compared to a typical floor brush, it's wheels tend to grip rather than slide (so you have to steer it around) and it is noisy on hard floors as the wheels clack around. We felt these factors made it unsuitable for hard floors.
We ordered the optional floor brush, and it solves all these problems... works great. Cost an extra $[...]. Should be in the box to begin with in our opinion. Our only gripe with the floor brush, it does not lock into position. Tends to fly off, or get mis-oriented when you bump around furniture or lean it up against a wall for a minute. Based on the quality of our Bosch dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, Bosch could certainly do better on the floor brush, sheer laziness on this.
Bags and accessories are hard to find. No local sources. We could not relate the part numbers in the manual to what was available on Bosch's website. Ordered from Total Vac.
Still on the whole, the unit is less than half the weight of our old Kenmore, amazingly quiet, and effective. I'd rather use it any day than the heavy, noisy Kenmore.
