My new Bosch was delivered today. I'm so happy it arrived safe and unbroken. It's quiet for sure. Not as powerful as a Tri-Star CXL or an all-metal Filter Queen, but has great suction for sure. An 8 out of 10. The wand is lighter in weight than the very heavy Miele wand so that's a plus. I love the Wessel power nozzle. The three-in-one attachment is stupid. I'm buying an adapter so I can use my Electrolux flip-over dusting brush. The bare floor tool is very good. The bags are extraordinary. They are super plush and seem like they would filter anything and everything. The electronic cord winder is super cool. Overall, I love it. I would never have paid the $1000 they wanted when these were new, but for $200 it's a deal and a steal.
