You’re the one that encouraged me to repair vacuums thank you your videos are awesome

Have one of these. Thanks to you, now I know it would take a massive effort for me to repair the cord winding system. And I shall say I learnt never to underestimate technicians and repairmen. Thanks again.

I love the way its designed. I wish Bosch could come back in the america market.

They still do make some compelling canister cleaners. but to be honest they are not really special

I love using my dishwasher to clean all kinds of things like glass light fixture covers, grill covers, basically anything plastic, ceramic or glass can go in there as long as there are no chemicals like paint residue that would harm the dishwasher. I just make sure I keep the heat dry off.

These are such cool interesting machines! To bad Bosch doesn't sell vacuum cleaners here in the USA anymore. Fascinating what can change!

Thanks for the video! It helped me opening our vacuum cleaner to fix a stuck cable roll. However, even though I knew from your tear down I still broke the cover over the potentiometer. It just does not seem to be made for repairing. I put it back on with some glue. Keep it going and best regards! Bertram

So, my cord wouldn't retract, so I found this video. Turns out, two of the three tabs on the reel were broken (abuse). I took the reel apart (mostly). The spring mechanism was also cracked. I couldn't fix it, but found this video helpful and inspiring. TY

Very nice machine, I had seen one on another KZread channel and last week I was house sitting and looking around on CL and FB Marketplace and saw one of these for $40 and I am kicking myself for not trying to get it. I was on the prowl for Miele and Sebo machines.

This kind of model is used a lot in The Netherlands. Bosch is a well known brand that stands for quality. Often identical to a Siemens model. This shape of vacuums are sell a lot here. Philips, Bosch and Miele are the top brands here.

Interesting vacuum

I bought a used one based on reviews that the motor is very quiet but I was disappointed. I was going to open it up to see if there is a way to clean the motor or even replace it but after watching your video and hear how noisy yours is, and you did not do anything regarding the motor, I guess I will just live with it. Thanks for the video in any case.

You find a Miele with a SEB228 something to consider next. But if you want to really go all out quiet have a central vacuum installed

i just picked up one of these for $40 and it has the telescoping electric wand. It is a little dusty but everything works and its very quiet.

Nice ! Unfortunately we can't get any parts for it anymore. So be nice to it. Thanks for watching

Hi - I have had this Bosch for 15 years and loved it - recently my power head stopped working - any hints for how I can get it going again?

Any chance you will be reviewing the Makita 36V XCV19 upright?

That is a weird machine. Never knew they made residential machines

Do you have the link to find the same brush?

Hey nice video and very helpful for me to repair my Bosch formula. How did you manage to get the filters around the engine so clean? Mine are very black and they are also not available as a sparepart. Thanks and keep up the good work

@@PerformanceReviews what exact terms did you use for your search? I tried to search for engine filters but I only got the one filter after the bag not the ones around the engine

Are you tossing the attachments into the dishwasher too?

I absolutely hated my Formula. It was a straight suction machine which I favor but it had friction fit wands that always stuck together, it always tilted back on its butt whenever I wanted to turn it around, it’s only attachment other than the floor nozzle was a cheaply made upholstery tool and as soon as they stopped importing the brand they stopped supplying original branded bags so I replaced it with a much better Electrolux EL6986 that I still have but retired and replaced with an even better Miele Pure suction based on an S2 design. I hate Bosch’s customer service. I was respectful when I asked them how they could cut off the supply of replacement bags immediately after pulling their products from the market and they hung up on me. They were just as snotty once before when I called their customer service number about their leaky spark plugs. That’s a term for spark plugs that leak electricity out of the sides.

Correction. My Miele Pue Suction is based on the C2/S4 design

Wow I was unaware of the customer service they had. Thanks for sharing your story. Part a got cut off due to "Star for parts " being purchased by a Eassco. Star was the sole distributor. How ever now that Amazon and eBay are more of a thing bags and filters are still pretty widely available.

Basic straight suction machine completely different model opens from the back I’ll share on discord

an instructional video takes more that switching the camera on and start to work.

My boss has the same motor

Hardly designed vacuum. I know it by the same construction - Bosch Ergomaxx series (220v).
