Bosch BSG72025 Pro Pets Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

Very powerful & lightweight to drag around. Lifts the carpet from the floor & really cleans. After using a bagless cylinder cleaner & having to empty it after use in each room it is a real joy to get back to a bagged vacuum that can collect a fair amount of dirt. Loved the fact that the attachments store away easily & the hose attaches to the base for easy, tiday upright storage. Highly recommend it!

I have used one of these Bosch Pro Pets machines for over three years now and would have to say that it has been a very mixed picture. The basic functionality is pretty good in that the suction and filtering works very well. However, I have had all the same problems as other reviewers with the turbo brush which needs to be regularly dismantled to be cleaned so that it continues to work properly - the mechanism is very prone to becoming clogged with hair and fluff. The machine does not follow one easily on carpets and tends to tip over. Mine eventually lost a wheel but frankly the mobility is not really any worse with two than it was with three! Mine now needs new filters at considerable expense (it really is making a horrible smell in use) and the automatic rewind has gone on strike. I don't really think it's worth spending money on repairs and new filters when this is likely to come to half the cost of a new machine. So, although this has been in many ways a very good little hoover, the durability has been a disappointment and I shall probably replace it with a different model and/or make.

this dog is very easy to drag around and is very light unlike other hard-headed vacs! the design is cool, and pretty quiet! but i had to say goodbye to it when i started to have dust allergy. i had to buy this duplex vac 14 cuz it stores the dust in water instead of bags... that means zero dust flying around. it's a wet/dry vacuum cleaner with what they call water filtration system. the vac 14 is kinda expensive, so if you are not a dust allergic guy, get this low-priced bosch pet!

Totally incapable of picking cat hair up from carpets

Bag difficult to fit.

Bag so small it fills in no time.

When I first got this Bosch vacuum, I loved it!! It was amazing!! Suction was awesome.The turbo brush picked up my cat hair no problem.But after a few months, it would stop spinning, so I very regularly would pull hair, or string from the Turbo brush. For the last 8 months anytime I use the vacuum, I get about 5 minutes before the machine turns off by itself. After 5-15 min. I can turn it on again, and try and get a few more minutes befor it shuts off again.And my turbo brush, (which I paid an extra $90), hasnt worked for the last year. But finally I took it apart.... I couldnt believe how much dust, crud, and hair was in every little crevis, and severely tangled and matted throughout the motor, and the inner power head. It took me over an hour to cut, and untangle it all.

When I first got the Bosch BSG72025 Pro Pets Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner I was over the moon with it. It was certainly very powerful and the turbo head was brilliant. I have two children with very long hair and no matter how careful we are you can't help but get it on the carpets. I can understand the brush on the turbo head getting thick with the hair after time but it doesn't take long before smaller particles get into the workings and it just stops! Not only this but if the bag gets more than half ful then there isn't enough suction to force the turbo to drive the brush around so is renders the head useless.

If you have a new high wool content carpet then the head may stop working very quickly.

It isn't difficult to take the head apart but it is getting a bit of a chore - one I could do without.

The genuine bags are expensive but worth buying as the cleaner works better with these but I have found that I can empty the contents via the inlet hole a couple of times before I replace them. Some might not want to do this but it doesn't bother me - it's just another form of recycling!

Having said all this it is still an excellent cleaner and so far it has not given me any grief over the past two years of ownership.

I am very glad I took out an extra year's warranty on my Bosch Prop Pets because otherwise it would have become useless at 13 months. It looks as if I will only get two years' use out of the machine because when the next turbo brush head gives up I will have to keep buying new ones if I want to go on using it.

I'm so happy that this Bosch BSG72025 Pro Pets Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner was worth my money. We had a Dyson (upright) and it didn't pick up pet hair (or my hair!) whatsoever. I did a lot of reading, joined Which? and bought their Best Buy, and cannot believe how amazing my carpets look! It's a Bosch, so great brand reputation, was much cheaper than my Dyson, and (best of all) I'm never going to have to get down on my hands and knees again to clean my carpets with a rubber brush! My partner (who actually does the hoovering!) did complain at the amount of times the brush got tanged up with hair, but as I pointed out, at least that's because it's picking it up! I think it won't have to work so hard in the future either- that was a year's worth and from now on it will only have to pick up a few days' worth.

It comes with a regular head for other floor surfaces, and being a cylinder, gets much closer to the edge than my upright.
