Bosch BSA2200UC Review Analysis:

bosch-bsa2200uc-reviewPerformance: The expert review we’ve analyzed gave the performance a positive review. Users also gave positive reviews on its performance. It is quietier than most other canisters, and works well on carpeted areas.

Features:

  • Health Guard: HEPA filtration system includes a HEPA filter, a three-layered dust bag and an exhaust filter to release cleansed air.
  • Adjustable floor nozzle takes the vacuum from carpets to tile or hardwood floors quickly.
  • Full bag indicator light.
  • Hose that connects the main vacuum head to the canister is lengthy and flexible.
  • Onboard tools nest on the vacuum’s handle and provide cleaning tools while still keeping them close at hand.

Value: Because the canister uses expensive “Health Guard” vacuum bags, most users reported a hefty price for on-going use.

Conclusion: Bosch BSA2200UC is a small, quiet, well-performing canister with pricey replacement bags. Yet, there are better, more economical canisters to choose.

Bosch Compact BSA 2200UC Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

Bosch BSA2200UC Reviews:

“The canister glides along with ease, no tugging the hose to make it catch up.
It is SOOO light. I don’t have any problem toting it up and down the stairs, it is only 9.5 lbs. and the two carrying handles are sturdy and comfortable to grip.” – User Reviews

“I bought this about 1 year ago. Its quiet with good suction, but after less than a dozen uses the retractable cord jammed tight when pulled about 5 feet out. There’s no easy way to get inside to fix it so I now have a vacuum with only 5 feet of usable cord.” – User Review

I was also disappointed by the unit’s cheap-looking components. The components seemed like something from a dollar store; the plastic may have been durable, but the appearance, design, and feel seemed cheap. The only pros to this vacuum are its small form, the canister’s aesthetics, and it’s refreshingly quiet noise level.” – User Review
