General Comments

I agree with a previous review. We bought on the reputation that Bosch has, but have been very disappointed. Like all vacuum cleaners it clogs up and needs to be cleared out, however it seems to happen more on this cleaner. When taking it apart it seems very fiddly and complicated, and if you need to take it apart to properly clear it out there are millions of screws. (well at least 12 holding the beater plate in place!).

The final nail in the coffin was when the beater stopped working. Unlike other cleaners which run the beater off a belt, this one has a special motor just for the beater. The motor had failed. After all the hassle we had had with this product over the 2 years we owned it, I just did not have the energy to fit a new motor so got rid of it.

In short - unreliable and disappointing experience.

    I experienced the same problem with the beater motor shutting down. There is a quick fix to this usually. There is a "Reset" button just behind where you pull out the hose attachment. This thing sat in my closet for at least a year because I was worried about the repair bill and after I discovered the reset button - it works like a champ again!
