Bosch BGL6POW1 open
I was surprised by how little noise it makes, if you lower the power, you doubt if it is on or off, but it sucks! It has a very nice design and many accessories, and it is very easy to transport around the house. The cord is very long and offers good mobility, and the rug attachment is great. I am satisfied with the purchase.
I knew I could trust Bosch vacuum cleaners, and now that I had to change my old device, I decided on the same brand. This model is really great, it is very powerful, I have four cats and a dog, and with it I clean everything quickly and efficiently, including carpets. In addition, it is very manageable and normally you do not need to use all the power, without using the turbo it is very quiet.
