This was one of the best purchases I made with my new home. It is quiet and works really well. My only complaint is I wish the cord was about a foot longer but you really cant beat this vacuum for hardwood/laminate/vinyl/linoleum floors.

I am pleased with the portability of the lightweight Bosch vacuum I purchased. Its a breeze to carry to the room needing cleaning - a big plus for me. Im 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 Ive had. I would give it four stars out of five.

I reviewed vacuums for months before settling on the Bosch Compact. I have absolutely no regrets!! After owning a few uprights, which were heavy and after a while, spit out more dust than they took in, I am pleased to say that the Bosch is very light, which makes it really easy to vacuum stairs and it picks up even the slightest dust. The retractable, long cord is a great feature and having only one attachment, makes life much simpler when having to switch to it, in order to get into tight corners, or vacuum furniture. I LOVE my vacuum!!!
