Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch Compact Plus-Hard Floor BSA-2222UC Canister Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Mine overheats and shuts down too!
Summary: 2 Stars
Looks like I'm in good company here with others whose Bosch canister vacuum started overheating and shutting down. I loved this product for the first year or so, but now it's useless. And I echo the complaints of others here that customer service is virtually non-existent. This model seemed like such a bargain, but replacing a vacuum every couple of years is hardly an attractive option....Customer Review: More Pluses than Minuses
Summary: 4 Stars
I am pleased with the portability of the lightweight Bosch vacuum I purchased. It's a breeze to carry to the room needing cleaning - a big plus for me. I'm not as happy with way it reacts to being pulled along; it often takes several tries to get it where I need it to go. The power of this unit is good; it picks up dust, dirt and debris as good as most and better than some I've had. I would give it four stars out of five.Customer Review: Quiet and great on pet-hair
Summary: 5 Stars
I just removed all the wall-to-wall carpet in my house and replaced it with hardwood and area rugs, so I needed a new vacuum cleaner suited for the new floors. I originally had my heart set on the Miele, but I found that the Bosch had the same features at half the price, and it's still made in Germany.
It is sooooo quiet. My cat doesn't turn into a lighting-bolt and the kids don't scream at me. I like the variable suction control. I don't need much power on the hardwood, but when I suck up pet-hair from the area-rugs, I crank it up and it does great. I have very low, dense-pile rugs. I can imagine that this wouldn't work well at all on loose or deep-pile rugs. The attachment just isn't suitable for that.
I'm taller than most women, and I really like that it has an adjustable length on the wand, so I don't end up hunch-backed like I do with most vacuums. It's very light and maneuverable. I broke a rib a few days ago, but I was able to vacuum today. I never would have been able to do that with my old upright beast. All the wheels are rubber, so it doesn't marr the hardwood.
The only thing I don't like is the price of the replacement bags. I've ordered some original Bosch bags and also a set of generic bags to compare the performance of the two. The bags can also be difficult to find locally. I've only been able to find them online.
Customer Review: Really Great for the Price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just installed expensive santos mahogany floors in my home and realized my upright Bissell would scratch the wood. I started looking for specialzed hard wood vacs and couldn't believe there were vacs in the $1000 range! This is the only specialized hard floor vac I could find in a reasonable price range (Sears actually sells it for almost $400 beware). After reading some of the neg reviews I was prepared for "tipping over", "blowing hot air", etc. I took a chance and so far I'm really happy with the results. It is a light unit so you have to be on the gentler side when pulling it around otherwise, I could see how it would tip over, and it only blows in your face if your bending at an awkward angle. So far so good!Customer Review: Really quiet and efficient
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really nice, lightweight portable vacuum. It does a wonderful job on my hardwood floors. It picks up all the dust, pollen, and cat hair..plus kitchen crumbs, etc. The hard floor brush stays on pretty well, but does get snagged on furniture legs if vacuuming under beds, etc., so be prepared to "retrieve" it periodically. The vacuum did not come with a round dusting brush, which would have made the vacuum more versatile. I use the one from my old vacuum, which works fine. I tried to go to their website to see if I could order one, but the website is pretty much useless. Overall, it is a good machine. It is so lightweight and quiet, I can get it out and vacuum up a mess while my husband watches TV. He doesn't even have to adjust the volume up. Its great for stairs since its so light.
