Bosch Premium Prestige BSG81396UC Canister Vacuum  Product Reviews

"As expected from a product made in Germany and with a name like Bosch, the quality seems to be very good. The suction is great, the telescopic handle is conveinient. One thing I didn't expect for a vacuum with a retail price of 699 was the cord for the powerhead that uses plastic snap on rings to attach it to the hose. I've seen 599 simplicity's that have the cord built into the hose, but then again, I only paid 225 shipped on sale. You'd have to be an idiot to get electrocuted by touching the connector for the powerhead when the vacuum is on. The variable power is nice eacuse the powerhead can be hard to move on area rugs with full suction."

"I bought my first Bosch vacuum about a year and a half ago. By far, it picked up more dirt than the Dyson or any other vacuum I have ever owned. It lasted through the last 8 months of a remodel to my home and my contractors using it on all sorts of dust and rubble! I just bought a second one to keep on the first floor! It definitly gets a THUMBS UP by me!"

"I bought this thing about 6 months ago and didn't like it much right from the beginning, that's since I turned it on the very first time. In short, I got slight electric shock. But I tried to forget about the incident, hoping that money spent on the brand vacuum cleaner would do the best... And I was wrong. Well, first of all, the so called snap connector that connects ergoplus handle with the telescopic tube has broken just a couple of days ago. Without any reason. Actually, there was one reason: it was designed probably by some stupid guys that made it so thin that the accident was pretty much obvious. A couple of more thing that I don't like in this cleaner. When you disconnect power cord it will be rolled back with such huge strength and speed that you got to be really careful not to heard some one around you. Integral accessory holder is also kind of funny thing, cause you will not enjoy using it. Believe me. It was also designed weirdly. It's difficult to hold the cleaner while you are using it. I also don't like the brush itself. Especially, when you clean carpets. So, I spend a week doing my research in buying the vacuum cleaner and the purchase was way not the best. Timur "
