Any idea what happened to the Bosch line of vacuum cleaners in North America? The US website no longer shows their vacs, and it does not even provide a way to buy supplies like bags and belts. I don't own a Bosch vac, but just curious if anyone knows what happened to their line of vacs. Did the entire line get discontinued in the USA, just like Sharp, Sanyo and Samsung? | ||

Did the entire line get discontinued in the USA? Supposedly they have been discontinued in the US and Canada I believe as well. | ||

Yes, John...I seem to remember seing Bosch vacs at Sears her
It's kind of strange that they disappeared off the market so fast. Consumer Reports gave high marks to one of their power-nozzle canisters (I think it was called the "Electro-Duo" or something like that). Also the Bosch two-motor bagless uprights (with cordreel) are now for some reason being sold under the Vax brand in the USA - see the link www.vaxusa.com/... They all looked like nice machines - too bad they are gone....maybe they could not compete with the market over-exposure of Miele. | ||

I am very dissapointed in the seemingly poor quality of the hoses. For our friends across the pond they are simply a regualar plastic crushproof hose with a rather poor plastic strip weave pattern applied over the outsides of it. The weave is certainly not closely woven like on older cleaners and a slight amount of flexing reveals the black plastic underneath. A sharp snag or two and the weave pattern will almost certainly start to fray or snap. I dont think the tools are much to go by either as they feel thin cheap and certainly not matched for the 10 year motor guarantee. I also think the cleaners dont feel as good quality with the plastics used or the styling. For exactly the same money you could buy a Miele cylinder which I feel much better quality. | ||
