Bosch BUC11700 UC upright vacuum cleaner

Date Published: 4/22/08

Like a luxury car, this German-made Bosch BUC11700 UC upright vacuum cleaner is engineered with breakthrough performance, design, and quality.

What sets the BUC11700 UC apart from the rest is its efficient dual motor system--one motor provides suction and another operates the brushroll. This space-age-looking upright also offers an unusual maintenance-free, beltless, gear-driven brush. Thanks to this feature, you’ll never need to replace a burned-out belt.

Our favorite feature of all is perhaps the simplest--an automatic rewinding cord. So simple, yet such a rare find on an upright, a rewinder makes it so much more convenient to use the vacuum. Chances are you’ll use this vacuum more, even for little spills, just because there is no cord to wind up.

Available with a bag (Turbo Jet) or bagless (Bagless Jet), this model also includes a unique 360-degree stair-cleaning tool, hidden tool storage, automatic height adjustment, a headlight, and an uptilt to pass over objects.

Unlike some models, the Bosch BUC11700 UC can be easily disassembled to remove clogged and stuck objects, effectively keeping it out of the repair shop for years to come. Weighing in at just 19 pounds, this unit floats along like a feather and stings dirt like a bee.

Pros: Cord rewinder, two motors, stair-cleaning tool
Cons: Expensive



Warranty
1 year
