Good cleaning - when the filter has been cleaned.
Ability to switch off brush.
Looks.
The round filter inside the cannister DOES block up and dramatically reduce suction.
Durability - burnt-out brush motor.
I was attracted to the Bosch Cyclone Jet by positive reviews, design and price, I happy threw out my Dyson DC01 and replaced it with the Bosch.
Very impressed initially, but became aware of major loss of suction despite emptying cannister when only 1/4 full. Then I removed the round cartridge filter...
This filter, which according to the manual should only require cleaning 'under certain circumstances e.g. when vacuuming fine particles', was completely chocked out with dust and was a filthy job to clean - if you don't have a wide open space in which to do this disgusting task, then you are in for a shock; it'll fill your house, hands and nose with dust!
This filter will need cleaning out every couple of months, or else you WILL suffer a huge loss in performance.
Finally, after 16 months of ownership, the brush motor burst into flames - never again.
