Bosch Ultra Series Canister Vacuum Review


The Ultra series is Bosch’s top-of-the-line family of canister vacuums, offering high power along with low noise. Powered by a 12-amp motor and 1,300 watts, this vacuum extracts dirt from all surfaces with little effort.

The 13-inch head has both a roller nozzle and carpet lifter so it is equally as adept at cleaning hard floors and carpets. This vacuum also has an adjustment control for reducing the suction on more delicate surfaces, such as drapes. Locking telescopic wands let you adjust the length of the hose and an ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip while vacuuming.

A charcoal/HEPA filter ensures that dust and other irritants are drawn into the vacuum and not dispersed through the air. A 1-1/2-gallon bag collects debris and an electronic indicator lets you know when the bag is full. A motor protection filter and Microsan exhaust filter keep larger particles from getting to the motor and causing damage. In addition, the vacuum has a patented noise-suppressing design that minimizes the sound of the motor during operation.

The Ultra operates with a fingertip remote control and comes with four tools--an upholstery nozzle, a furniture brush, and long and short extension nozzles--that are all stored within reach. Four wheels below the canister swivel 360 degrees for optimum mobility and have slide control to prevent the vacuum from slipping.

For convenience, the power cord stretches to a maximum of 23 feet, giving you a maximum cleaning radius of 34 feet, and rewinds electrically. This lightweight vacuum weighs only 12-1/2 pounds and measures 23-1/2 inches high and 15-3/4 inches wide.
