General Comments

The Bosch Cyclone Jet BUC11700UC vacuum cleaner has great suction. So much in fact, that it requires some effort to push it around. Once you get used to it, you can give your carpets a really good clean by slowly covering each stripe just once.

Unfortunately, the brush motor has plastic teeth on the driving end. When a nail or paper clip jams the brush, this causes these teeth to burn away, meaning another £50 brush motor must be purchased. If just the belt was ruined, I could tolerate that, but this represents a design flaw. Also, as I suspected from new, the cable return mechanism simply isn't up to the job. The main on-off switch is also decidedly iffy. Not what I have come to expect from Bosch.

Great cleaning power, let down by some flaws that should have been designed out.
