Bosch engineers have managed to pack an amazing 11 amps of motor power, a full set of attachments and superior filtration into a series of vacuums that are a breeze to maneuver and carry around your home. Special Features: Flexible hose with 360 degree swivel at handle / Accessory tools on handle / Mechanical dust bag-full indicator / 1- 360 degree caster wheel with two large rear wheels / Electronic adjustable power regulation / Air Clean HEPA Filter System / Ergogrip Plus handle with soft inserts / Rubberized nonmarking wheels for hard floor operation / Special hard floor tool with polishing pad / Adjustable telescopic tube
Customer Review: Best lil vac for studio apt. w/ hard floors
Bottom Line: this unit is essentially the Lexus of small compact vacuums and functions beautifully on hard wood floors.
I spent months searching for the best unit for my studio apartment. I have a couple of 3x5 wool rugs and the rest hard flooring and had previously relied on a cheap and noisy Eureka broom vac. I decided it was time to invest in a quality unit. Ultimately, i chose between the Electrolux Harmony and the Bosch Compact Hard Floor. I am very pleased i chose the Bosch. The vacuum bag replacements are also sold at Ebay. If you buy a few packages (5 in a pack) at once and stock up you can get the cost down to $5 -7 per package (fairly inexpensive) and i haven't had to change the bag once yet in six months (I do not use it very frequently, once every 2 weeks on avergage :0 )
The adjustable suction is very powerful (but not overpowering)even on the lowest setting and once you purchase a dusting brush (sold separately at Bosch and other websites) hard to reach dust, dirt or (dry)spills will be no match for the compact plus. The vacuum is relatively light weight, highly maneuverable, and a practically designed piece of equiptment. One minor gripe is that I do wish all the wheels had 360 rotation but it is unlikley that you can find that added convenience/ maneuverability at this price point anywhere.
I sometimes purposely leave it out on top of a dresser in hopes that my lazy buns will be more inspired to use it -if i see it is out in the open -handy to grab and put to use on the fly. In any case, the compact design eliminates storage hassles, fitting the Bosch Compact Floor vac easily into shorter cubbies and shelves rather than requiring valuable closet space.
Prices for this vacuum vary widely by retailer so be sure to look around. I used Pricegrabber and found a vendor who offered it at $230.00. I have had it for almost a year but my 5th Gen Roomba seems to get more play these days... still i couldn't live as comfortably without my Bosch which goes where my Roomba can't go! They are certainly MY little cleaning dream team!
If you are looking for one of the best possible picks for hard wood floor cleaning, waste no more time and get a Bosch Compact Hard Floor: i bet you'll be singing its praises too. My only regret is wasting money on cheapy, noisy units that break after a year or two. This is seriously the Real McCoy when it comes to hard floor vacuums, it just doesn't get much better than this at this price range.
Performance, quiet operation and well conceived design can all be favorably compared to the Miele compact unit produced by another German manufacturer and costing much more money.
