Product Description
Get a lot of vacuum in a little space with the Bosch Compact Plus vacuum cleaner. You shouldn't have to sacrifice cleaning power just because you live in a small space. With the Compact Series, you get a vacuum that takes up less space without giving up cleaning effectiveness and versatility. This easy to use vacuum includes a one step self-sealing dust bag, step on/off power button, and the Ergogrip Plus soft handle. Bosch engineers have managed to pack an amazing 11 amps of motor power, a full set of attachments and the superior Air Clean II filtration into a vacuum that is a breeze to maneuver and carry around your home.
Amazon.com Review
Compact and lightweight, this canister vacuum is easy to store and no trouble to carry around. For its small size, this Compact Plus series vacuum also packs a lot of power, running at 1,200 watts on an 11-amp motor. Despite its powerful motor, this machine has low noise output, making it a good choice for apartment dwellers. The vacuum features a two-piece steel wand with a comfortable ergonomic handle and has a combination roller nozzle on the end that works just as well cleaning hard floors or low-pile carpet. One additional cleaning tool for crevices and upholstery is included and latches onto the hose handle. For superior air quality, this machine is equipped with an Air Clean II Microsan filter, which retains tiny particles down to just 1 micron in size. The vacuum holds a large quantity of debris for its size--up to 1 gallon--and dust bags are easy to remove and change. Two large back wheels and a fully rotating front wheel make this vacuum cleaner easy to maneuver. Finally, the BSA Compact Plus has an automatic rewinding cord for storage, and, at 9-1/2 pounds, is totally portable. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Poor Vacuum June 5, 2008
I purchased this vacuum based on the very positive reviews. However, I am sorry I bought it for the following reasons. There is a suction control on the top that is a real joke. Even with it turned up all the way, I find that it won't suck up many of the little crumbs on the kitchen floor unless the center of the floor attachment is directly centered over the crumb. If it is at one of the edges of the attachment, it usually doesn't get sucked up. I end up taking off the attachment and using the bare hose end to get thing sucked up
The next annoyance is the short cord. I have to constantly keep pluging it into a closer receptacle even in the same room.
And speaking of the cord, after only a few months of use, the cord no longer retracts and I can see no way to get into the mechanism to unstick it or whatever to fix it.
The vacuum does not turn a corner very well and usually ends up turned over on its side when pulled at an angle.
Anyhow, the short of it is that it has a VERY POOR suction and this is my main gripe with the vacuum. I think I will go back to the tried and true Sears vacuum which does have great suction.
Great product! Small and capable. May 22, 2008
This little vacuum packs lots of power into a very small package. I've used it on carpet and wooden floors with great success. The accessories are not the highest quality plastics, but they are strong enough and well shaped to get into tight corners. The bags are self sealing and MUCH nicer than those nasty bagless cups that get dust and dirt everywhere when you try to empty them. This light weight and powerful vacuum is great for our three floor town house cause it's easy to carry up and down stairs and really does a good job picking up dirt! I would recommend it to anyone.
Decent vacuum for the price November 18, 2007

I've learned that the quality of vacuums tends to fluctuate with their price. I purchased this vacuum not expecting it to be perfect or top-of-the-line, but I find that it actually exceeds my overall expectations.
First, it was important to me to have a cannister vacuum with a bag (rather than bagless), which this one has. It has an indicator on the top which should indicate when the bag is full, which is a nice added touch. (My bag hasn't filled up yet, as far as I know, so I haven't yet confirmed whether this feature works.)
The long tube is made of metal, not plastic like some other models I've had, which adds durability. I was concerned that the tube might come apart during vacuuming because its parts just slip together (no button or clip), but so far that has not happened at all.
The motor is nice and quiet, especially for a vacuum with its power.
I also like that the attachment piece fits (and stays) on the tube when you're not using it, and that the cord automatically rolls up inside the unit. (Be aware that in order for the auto-roll-up function to work properly, you must tug on the cord very, very gently - not with too much force.)
The bag is easy to install and has a little closing cardboard cover to help keep dust from flying out when you change it.
Some things this model does NOT have:
- A beater bar (so if you have shag carpets, that could be a problem - we only have laminate flooring)
- An upholstery brush attachment (it does have an upholstery attachment without a brush, which is OK, but a little strange)
If neither of those is a big concern for you, then you should consider choosing this model.
 cute little vacuum September 16, 2007

This little thing is amazing! I was originally looking for a Miele canister vacuum but found its price prohibitive. This Bosch is similar in features to entry-level Miele but costs only a fraction. Made in Germany, for those who care. I bought it at LNT with a 20% off coupon for $144+tax. Here is a link http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2238362
It's on backorder online but I found it at the local Buffalo store.
The actual model is BSA2101UC but as far as I can tell the only difference is color, nice orange, looks like a toy but does its job great. Suction is impressive and pretty quiet even at the highest setting. Lightweight, easy to carry around. Not many buttons, pretty much only on/off and power+/- in one button! No LCD screens and other gimmicks, just what you need. The only concern is that bags are quite expensive, I'll see how long one bag will last. Oh and this is not a vacuum for carpets, you would need a motorized brush for those or better yet, an upright. My house is hardwood-only with some rugs, so I'm OK. Overall great product!

I bought this vacuum based on my husband's experience with Bosch tools in his carpentry studio. That was a mistake. The suction is poor; the hose and bags don't always match up, leaving dust to collect inside the cavity (despite my repeated efforts to line everything up correctly); the vent points directly at the user, blowing hot, stinky air on you while you work, and cannot it be redirected; the bags are expensive and difficult to match up with the model you own; the cord is too short by about three feet; it tips over easily....shall I go on? It appears that the engineers who do such a fine job with their power tools were left off of this project. I will end up replacing this vacuum far soon than expected and it sure won't be with another Bosch!
