Good Points

Good cleaning - when the filter has been cleaned.
Ability to switch off brush.
Looks.


Bad Points

The round filter inside the cannister DOES block up and dramatically reduce suction.
Durability - burnt-out brush motor.


General Comments

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.

    i have to agree with everything that has been said. I too own this vacuum and the paper filter trap blocks up extremely quickly rendering the vacuum virtually useless. i have to take this filter into the garden and tap it hard with a heavy stick to dislodge all the compacted dust. Further more the brushes get clogged up as well and its a job and a half to get all the screws out to lift the brushes clear of the vacuum. My brushes still won't rotate so it looks as if i will need to buy a new belt. Parts are not cheap and the paper filter costs around £25.00! I have only had this vacuum for 18 months. Its good when its clog free but i won't get another.
