After 18 months of light use the brush motor went.
General Comments
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 you get a new motor, it will do it again. A shame as otherwise it could be a good unit, if a little heavy. It's not really a Bosch though - just an off the shelf Chinese machine.
