Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch Compact Plus-Hard Floor BSA-2222UC Canister Vacuum Cleaner
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.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: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had this vacuum for about a year.
Pros:
- Cleans my wood floors (but nothing out of the ordinary).
- Light, easy to carry.
Cons:
- The canister regularly tips onto its rump, preventing movement. (Looks like it is "sitting up" like a dog).
- Useless attachments. I really need a round brush attachment.
- The cord has never retracted the way I am used to. Any time I want to retract the cord, I have to pull it all the way out first and then let it reel itself back in. It is a real pain.
- Expensive as all get out.
Update: I would really like to find a round brush attachment for dusting, but I can't seem to find any accessories for this vacuum.
Customer Review: nothing good about a broken vacuum
Summary: 1 Stars
I confess that I originally bought it because it was cute and available at a store near my house. Once home it seemed lightweight but strong. The design made it a bit clumsy (tilting over when you moved) and the very first thing to break was the retractable cord...it got stuck and stayed put with a a 12" lead. Fine, a month later and the thing has a permanent extension cord devoted to it. Six months later and the bugger just won't turn on. We live in one of these tiny NYC apartments so it's not like we've got excessive vacuuming needs. Just one that works. We went back to our little rechargeable Eureka Boss stick that's worked for years and rue the day when we've got to replace it.Customer Review: overheating after little use
Summary: 2 Stars
I share the frustrations of a previous reviewer who had or has the same problem with his 2222UC model. When I had a problem with the cord not rewinding automatically I sent it back to the dealer who sold it and it was fixed. Now, several months past the warranty the vacuum shuts off after 5 minutes no matter what suction setting it is on and then takes 20 minutes to cool down and is operational for the next 5 minutes. No one here in Florida repairs these so I'll do the customer care call center HELL on Monday and see where we go from there. Vacuuming for 5 minutes, resting for 20 minutes, etc is going to get old in a hurry
