Review: After having two Dyson vacuum cleaners that performed well but didn't last long, I decided to take a chance on this Bosch Unlimited cleaner. I have quite a few Bosch products and they have always performed and lasted well. - The price may seem quite high, but for the Dyson equivalent (V10) you'll pay around £100 more - The run time is far longer than other handheld cordless cleaners. - Removable battery means no waiting for charges between cleaning jobs. - 2 Batteries included, so again no waiting for charge. - Wall mounted storage unit keeps everything neat and tidy. - Al accessories work well, fit well and are easy to change. - The flexible crevice tool is a very useful accessory. Especially good for getting under the washing machine or fridge. - The power 'trigger' stays on when depressed, rather than having to hold it in continuously. - Some users have listed the noise of the battery charger fan to be a negative. However, the fan does help to keep the charger cool and when the battery is fully charged the charger switches off, so the fan stops, letting you know that the battery is ready for use. I have found that the noise is not too loud and haven't been bothered by it at all, I actually find it very useful for indicating the battery status. - I can clean my entire house (3 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, stairs, landing, skirting boards, & upholstery) on one (new) battery. Time will tell how it performs as the batteries get older, but I have many Bosch products and tools and have found that the batteries last exceptionally well. - It has a 'ratchet' type filter cleaner, a few turns before emptying will knock the dust from the filter. - The dust capacity is slightly lower than other models, but it is very easy to empty. The container clips off easily and I can empty it into my kitchen bin with no mess. - The turbo button is very useful and certainly adds more power for certain jobs, but I have found the vacuum cleaner to be very good in standard setting so the turbo mode is not vital for everyday cleaning. - All in all I am very happy with this cleaner. It is lightweight, easy to store, convenient and powerful.
