I have the bagless version of the Bosch BUC 11700. Agree awkward on stairs. After 5 years, filter and belt needs replacing at a cost of £60+ (includ labour) so I both a new cylinder vacuum. Also it overheats and cuts out regularly. Parts seem so expensive online - £22 for a filter. ...

Slick Vacuum Cleaner with Brush Design Flaw. I like the design. Not bulky compared to many other models. Suction is very good. Bags are expensive and not very big. Brush motor stopped working after about 2 years like many other users described (Design Flaw). The next Bosch service center is 4 hours ...

I bought this vacuum cleaner because it was a WHICH best buy. I have been generally happy with the carpet cleaning results. However I found cleaning stairs and curtains awkward.

The Bosch BUC 11700 is a "made in China" badged vacuum. It also appears as a Vax in some areas. The brushes are too stiff and so rather than sweep the dust towards the vacuum tube the dust sticks in the brushes. This stops them from rotating, strains the brush motor and it then burns out. Even if yo ...

Durability - we have had only a few minor issues, generally consisting of the brushes not worki ...

OK, so I've given this machine perfect 10s whilst other users have had problems. Well, it's all down to user maintenance and RTM (reading the manual).
Firstly, to maintain suction it does need cleaning regularly - clicking the cleaning button a few times is NOT sufficient). You need to remove the ...

I was enthusiastic about the Bosch BUC 11700 at first but found that the paper filter inside the mesh filter quickly clogs up and you have to bang it with something to dislodge all the dust. You need a wide open space for this! The brushes also get clogged up and mine have stopped rotating altoget ...

I bought the Bosch BUC machine last November. I have never been able to undo the filter inside the dust collection althought the Handbook claims it can be extracted for cleaning. Just out of warranty this filter started to come loose, and then shortly after the brush roller stopped going round. I ...

The Bosch BUC 11700 need to be cleaned often. It is too heavy, falls over, the cord is too short, and now that it is just out of warranty, the brush motor on ours has died after just over 12 months!

I found a similar replacement motor, but it was £30 and it didn't fit.

Waste of money. ...
