Have you ever heard the phrase “German machines”? That is a general expression to indicate how good the Germans are with machines. You will probably agree when you consider the brands of cars the Germans are responsible for.

Cars are not our business here but we hope you get the point. Bosch vacuum cleaners are manufactured with the same German engineering culture of innovation and performance.

From the motor to the aesthetics, and then the technologies in these vacuums, they are something you will want to experience.

Join us as we take you through the innovative features that come with using Bosch vacuum cleaners.

 

Thoroughly Tested

To be sure that any Bosch vacuum cleaner you have will do what it says, the brand puts its vacuum cleaners through rigorous tests. For instance, the Bosch canister vacuums go through fatigue tests where they are kept in use over kilometers.

Another unforgiving test they put the canisters through is the on and off test. In this one, they switch the vacuum on and off a whopping 45,000 times!

With this much endurance in a domestic vacuum cleaner, you most likely will not change it because it broke down. It also won’t be because it stopped performing as well. Perhaps it will be because there is an entirely new way to clean dirt.

Efficient Energy Consumption

In some cases, vacuum cleaners consume a lot of energy. If that same vacuum happens to be fun to use, you might want to vacuum unnecessarily often. In reality, that is a lot more money to pay in electricity bill.

This rotation is used to direct the dirt and dust that is sucked in. The purpose of this is to make sure that the airflow in the canister remains optimum. That way, the vacuum cleaner will not lose suction power so you can enjoy deep cleaning at all times.
