I was at the point of paying more just for an easy, efficent bagless. I thought of Dyson, then bought the new Vax at Best Buy. I liked it a lot. I wasn't happy about it's $300.00 price! I looked at reviews here, of Bosch, and realized it was the same vacuum! I bought one, new, from an E-bay site for $148.00, inc. shipping. Sure enough; same vacuum. Bye-bye Vax! The Bosch is powerful and has real up to edge cleaning. The hose easily pulls out, ready to use. I do find I use my old vacuums' extension tube for ceilings (not very often), but for carpets, the attached tube is excellent. I love the retractable cord! Winding cords often kept me from quick clean-ups. The dust canister is very easy to take on and off; not so with other bagless vacuums, and it's virtually dust-free. Do shop around as I've found prices from $130.00 to $300.00! Don't be fooled by higher priced look alikes. This is the best!
