I've personally own one of these vacuum cleaners & it going strong after 12 months despite being through the ringer. The vacuum has fantastic suction and will definitely keep your floors cleans.

Great build quality and Made in Germany as well.

Just a note. If you got medium or high pile carpeting, make sure you get a turbo brush head. Otherwise, you will be struggling to push the vacuum across the carpet (unless you want a workout haha). Here the one that I use with my Bosch vacuum

Genuine bags are cheap for these model and can last a long time.

Overall, a great vacuum at a great price.

    How does this compare to the Dyson Powerball?

    • nick90 on 29/10/2023 - 22:40
      +2

      Never owned a Dyson Powerball. However. one thing for certain, it way easier to empty it out (since all the dust and particle stay in the bag)

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2023 - 07:39

      I've had both. I bought one of these because the Dyson wouldn't fit under my couch. Yes I know it has attachments etc, but it was a pain to keep swapping the hoses etc. I ended up never using the Dyson again. This thing has more suction than the Dyson and is easier to use. The only drawback is you need Vac Bags, but they are cheap and I think it's easier to just throw a bag out and put a new one in, rather than dumping out the Dyson container, washing filters etc etc. The Bosch is highly recommended.

      • gakko on 30/10/2023 - 15:40

        Bags are a benefit rather than a minus imo.

    Can vouch this is a great machine! It sucks :)
    I had 2 Miele before and this is on par, haven’t tried the vacuum head yet, how do you find it? I have floor boards and carpet too filled with dog hairs

    • shalala on 30/10/2023 - 00:53
      +2

      How does it compare regarding to the motor noise? I have a Miele C3 and the motor is quiet and feels premium.

      • resisting the urge on 30/10/2023 - 10:51
        +1

        The shell is not as solid as most Mieles. But the motor is not noisy like an unbranded, poorly engineered machine. Noise is likely more a function of size and power setting, and given this one packs a lot of suction into a small package, you can't say it's quiet. But nowhere near bad, and you can turn it down to quieten it a lot.

        The attachments aren't the same level either- especially the wand. But its super functional, moves/follows well and ergonomics as well as overall size combine to make this a machine we're been really happy with for a long time now (>5 years). It won't fail like most, and as much as the accessories aren't Dyson or Miele level, they will last and the wand is super light- making it easier than all of the the exotic machine's wands to use.

        To sum up it's small, simple, light yet well made, and sturdy. Better than bagless of course, and can be used without the HEPA filter on the exhaust, which makes it even more powerful.

        • shalala on 30/10/2023 - 20:22

          I think you wrote an awesome review. In line with the videos I saw in YouTube. Cheap and functional, not a luxury vacuum cleaner.

          • resisting the urge on 04/11/2023 - 12:04

            @shalala: Thanks.

            I've had Miele and others before, they just don't make the grade given the investment demanded. Now Dyson are up everyone's competitive asses by adding innovation, quality and usability where others were failing for so long, only Bosch are left in the marketplace with a notable product.

  • donny donny on 29/10/2023 - 22:45

    Can you empty the bag so dont need to keep buying the bag?

    • nick90 on 29/10/2023 - 22:47
      +2

      You can probably get away with it maybe once or twice, but it will eventually tear since it made out of paper. However, you can get 4 of them for $19, so no real biggie.

      • karma25 on 29/10/2023 - 22:54

        I have one of this and so far so good. Excellent suction. Just wondering where can I get 4 of them for $19? Every where I look for it is $19 each 🤔

          $19 pack contains 4 bags.

          on the link that OP provided, there is an add on product.

          option 1 is just the unit,
          option 2 is the unit plus $19 bag (contain 4 on the description)
          option 3 is for the unit plus 16 bags

            @donny donny: Strangely, option 3 would cost $3 more than buying the $19 packs separately.

      Yes you can empty the bag, instead of buying new bags. But eventually you’ll need to buy the bags for $19 or so

      Usually the bag itself will have a product ID or you can search it online or instore by the model of the vacuum. Bosch bags are great since they only use the one bags across their entire lineup.

    • TiredKitty78 on 01/11/2023 - 17:58

      I think if you go to Godfreys or something, they might have some 'universal' bags that are compatible.

  • paloverde88 on 29/10/2023 - 23:18

    I bought one of these years and years ago from appliances online the bag do lasts a while, I'm still using it. there is an indicator, however I don't rely on indicator, takes awhile for it to indicate full, but the bag is pretty full you can tell as the suction is not very strong that's when you replace the bag.
    there is a HEPA filter thingo which I know needs replacement but the darn thing cannot be found anywhere even with this amazon ad it does not tell you that needs replacement only the bag the HEPA filter itself like a little cube thing needs replacement too.Good luck finding it,

    • dealhunter52 on 29/10/2023 - 23:35

      HEPA filter that comes with this is washable. I have washed mine few times in last 6 years.

      • paloverde88 on 29/10/2023 - 23:36

        • dealhunter52 on 29/10/2023 - 23:40

          I just washed it in soapy water with an old tooth brush. As per the HEPA filter section of the below product page "What's more is that the filter is washable and doesn't have to be replaced.".

    I used the stock wand and it can be quite hard sometimes on carpet, I used it mainly for hardwood floor. Op says you should spend extra to get the professor wand which can lessen so much effort. I have been using the stock wand for years, magic wand it is not but I did not think you can get a professor wand.

    Thanks OP. Quick question is your linked head a Turbo brush head one? Seems like a normal head. I can see other turbo heads listed as similar items at the bottom of the Catch listing but was after your recommendation. Cheers

    • nick90 on 30/10/2023 - 16:57

      It defiantly a turbo head. Despite not having it in the listing as a turbo head, I can confirm that my example does have it.

      This is the brand and part number for your reference

      TK284 Wessel Werk Turbo Head FTTW135

      Make sure it's the 35mm :)

      Edit: Just updated the link to show the correct model vacuum head. For some reason when I looked in my invoice, Catch website took me to this Vacuum head instead. Apologies for the inconvenience

    I've had one of these for a couple of years now. The suction is great and you can't argue with the price, even though it was $190ish when I bought it. There's a couple of downsides. It's loud. The telescopic wand is flimsy and the bit you hold is a smooth featureless curve, not exactly ergonomic. It's also a little too short for my height (181cm), wouldn't be an issue if you're vacuuming a small house or flat. It's very small, and you can't store any tools inside it, also doesn't come with a dusting brush attachment, which is probably the one I use the most. Mostly just small annoyances, but I do miss my Miele.
