A great and interesting review! You asked for feedback on other models in the range - I have this model's immediate predecessor, the first generation version of the 55-minute maximum runtime Flexxo 4, the BBH3251GB, which looks almost identical but does not have the LED lights in the floor head and is a 25.2V model (it's 28V on the new one, I see). Aside from a slight restyle on the removable handheld unit with the Gen2 Flexxo, they otherwise look identical. I also have a Bosch Athlet of that time, also a 25.2V one, the Athlet BCH6ATH1GB with a 60-minute runtime (this is also a white one - just my preference!), so I can compare the Flexxo to that too. The Flexxo's white finish is particularly nice - it's a pearly white which helps it look more expensive than it otherwise might. I've been very pleased with my first generation Flexxo. At 3.1 kg it's a bit lighter than the new version's 3.3 kg (my Athlet is also 3.3 kg). The styling of the Flexxo is pretty similar to the Athlet - both very nice looking. My Flexxo feels a bit flimsier than my Athlet - maybe due to the design or the lighter weight - the Flexxo's floor head does feel a little too light sometimes compared with the Athlet's, so if the Gen 2 Flexxo's floor head is heavier due to the LED lights, that will help and 3.3 kg is still nice and lightweight for easy use. It's good that the lights have been added, as it always seemed odd that my Flexxo didn't have them. Whether we really need them is debatable - as you said, they're vital for vacuuming in the dark(!) and handy for vacuuming under beds, sideboards etc. but otherwise in daylight they can help or hinder. Maybe the Gen2's higher 28V rating is what keeps the runtime the same even with the LEDs, or maybe the motor is a tiny bit more powerful too? That would be good as my Flexxo's pickup power is very good, but not as powerful as my Athlet's. Interesting that the release buttons on the Gen2 Flexxo's tools are a little easier to press than my original's - though I don't have the strongest fingers, it's hardly a problem. The button to release the handheld unit is stiff, though. I wonder if that's any easier? It's very secure against accidental release, but there's such a strong detent I need my strongest thumb to do it. The hidden tool storage on the Flexxo itself is really great - it's rare in cordless vacuums, especially 2-in-1 models like it. I have another brand's 2-in-1 which is also very good, but its tools store on a floor dock so they're often still on it if I didn't realise I'd need them (and they often fall off the little nubs they sit on if I knock them!). The button catch for the tools on the Flexxo is very useful - my other brand's friction-fit tools fall off quite often in use but the Flexxo's always stay in place. The Flexxo's crevice tool is longer than others I've come across, giving it good reach and requiring less bending by me, and one thing you didn't mention (which I think still applies to the Gen2 version) is that another catch near the tip of the crevice tool releases an extension which nearly doubles its length - I can reach the ceiling easily with it - brilliant! The handheld unit of the Flexxo is easy to use and to empty and deal with the filter system. It doesn't seem to have a particularly small capacity either. It might be nice to have two speeds on the removable unit, but one on this part seems standard on other brands too. The main unit has two speeds like on the new version. My Athlet has 3 speeds - the first one doesn't rotate the brush (both do on the Flexxo) and the third one is more powerful than the Flexxo's top setting. The Athlet's capacity is a bit larger than the Flexxo's and its charge status light is more informative (it also can signal when the filter needs cleaning due to its Sensor Control system which the Flexxo range doesn't have). Like my Flexxo, it doesn't have any LED headlights - Bosch seemed later to incorporate these than most brands and both my Bosch vacuums are from the same period and no longer current models. My Athlet has a rubberised grip to the handle, but I don't particularly miss it on the Flexxo. They both charge a similar way (a lead plugs into the back of the vacuum) but it's a different fitting for each. I like the floor stand/charging unit that my other-brand 2-in-1 has - it might be nice if Bosch could offer such a thing, at least as an option, in future models of the Flexxo (or Athlet). The Flexxo and Athlet don't use the same size of filters but both are easy to access and change, and the dust bins are equally easy to remove, empty and refit. One area where the Flexxo really wipes the floor with the Athlet (pardon the pun!) is the tools. As I said, they're great and the onboard hidden storage is excellent. It varies according to the precise model, but my Athlet also has plenty of tools - mine comes with a pretty long extendable hose, a crevice tool which is slightly shorter than the Flexxo's when the latter is retracted, and a furniture/mattress attachment like the red-felt edged part of the Flexxo's 2-in-1 brush tool, but a little wider and lacking the Flexxo's optional brush bristles part. The Athlet range has a rather unique (and peculiar) approach to tools - the floor head needs to be removed and replaced with the hose and tools, and you wear the whole vacuum over your shoulder on a strap. Some models (including my Athlet) include a tiny stub with power switch to replace the whole of the slender part of the handle with, to make it less unwieldy in this mode, but it's hard to swap due to a stiff release button and the stub's power slider is awkward compared with the normal one. The release button for the floor head (so you can attach the tools instead) is so stiff I've only ever managed it once. I discovered recently that a friend has an Athlet and has never succeeded! I'm sure many Athlet owners have no trouble and certainly it's a great, well-made and powerful vacuum with nice features, but the Flexxo really lives up to its name in this respect - it's very flexible and so easy to use the tools by comparison - and they're always right there with it too. It may be a bit less powerful, but it's really good in its own right and a great second vacuum, no question.

I have one which i recently bought.I vacuum every day due to the dog hair but I have to say it works fine for that purpose.Also I like the fact that its freestanding.(My previous Vax wasn't and had to go onto a wall bracket)All in all I'm a happy bunny !!!!!

Should there be cover around the filtet

In whole video you say nothing about vacuming power? Probably most of us are buying vacum cleaners for cleaning pupose and not for design.

It sounds like a child's toy
