Absolutely clean air is very important, especially for those who suffer from allergies. The washable UltraAllergy (ULPA) filter captures 99.99% of allergens, fine dust, and bacteria and prevents their re-emission into the space. The air expelled from the vacuum cleaner is cleaner than the room air.
AirFresh Dust Bag
Clean air while vacuuming.
The AirFresh dust bag effectively prevents the development of unpleasant odors thanks to active carbon technology. It filters 99.9% of fine dust and the special shutter ensures its replacement with maximum hygiene. It is especially recommended for those who have pets.
Remote Power Control
Easily adjustable power settings.
You no longer need to bend down to adjust your vacuum cleaner's settings according to the surface you are cleaning. The Remote Power Control allows you to make all the adjustments directly from the handle. All it takes to activate the turbo, standby, or power intensity of the vacuum cleaner is the press of a button. Now you can achieve top cleaning results on every different surface in your home.
Multi-use brush
Cleaning with the integrated brush.
Every household has difficult spots to clean such as ceilings and hanging light fixtures. With the multi-use brush, you can easily reach all these spots. With the soft brush, you can clean furniture and delicate surfaces without scratches. You can easily attach it to the handle, as it is already integrated. It is always available for you to use.

Why choose a vacuum cleaner with a bag?
Vacuum cleaners with bags are the best choice for those who suffer from allergies and other respiratory conditions. On one hand, they completely separate dust mites and other allergens from the vacuum operator during use, precisely thanks to the presence of the bag.
Additionally, when it's time to change the bag, the entire process is completed with one move and again without the user needing to come into contact with its contents, while also minimizing the risk of spilling its contents onto the floor.
Finally, with a bagged vacuum cleaner, you don't need to clean the filter, as it is usually integrated into the bag.

I will comment based on a) my experience with a ~200 euro Miele vacuum cleaner that I had for 12 years (predecessor of the current C3) and b) the use of the present one (for over 4 months now).
Positives:
+ It has power, despite its "low" wattage compared to the two-thousand-watt ones from the previous decade.
+ The intensity adjuster on the handle has positive features and is useful if you need to change the intensity. In this vacuum cleaner, I think the adjuster is necessary (with the Miele, I can't say that I needed something like that - I vacuumed with a specific intensity that worked on both carpets and tiles. Here, I had to adjust it 1-2 times (or maybe I haven't learned its tricks yet!)
+ It is relatively lightweight (compared to the 6-7 kilograms of the Miele I had). This is good on paper. In practice, it seemed bad to me because the Bosch easily gets dragged while vacuuming (especially in combination with the small spiral).
+ It does have a LONG cord - longer than the Miele.
Negatives:
- There is a remote control (with 2 batteries) on top of the handle for starting/stopping and adjusting the intensity. In mine, this is problematic because the batteries need to be in a very specific position, otherwise something short-circuits or it doesn't make good contact. I had to completely remove the battery cover for it to work, but now during vibrations, the batteries can come out or it might need a little shake again to make proper contact. Here, the saying "the simpler, the better" applies. The vacuum cleaner doesn't start only with the switch on top. It essentially allows it to communicate with the remote control as it starts and stops from there.
- The spiral is short in length. This is a problem for me because with the slightest pull, the vacuum cleaner gets pulled back. My old vacuum cleaner had at least half a meter longer spiral. The small spiral helps with storage, but when vacuuming... I would have liked it a bit longer. It is also a bit rigid, and as you vacuum, it can drag things around you. In the old vacuum cleaner, the spiral was softer and "fell" downwards due to its weight.
- The brush head of the Bosch has "bristles" in the front and an elastic/plastic "blade" in the back. This makes it difficult to move in both directions on a carpet, as the plastic blade gets stuck on the pile of the carpet in one of the two movements, push-pull, and it makes it difficult to find the right direction for it to glide on the carpet.
These are the three (especially the first two) most significant disadvantages that I find.
Some other secondary points:
- Winding up the cord requires you to bend down - it doesn't wind up by stepping on it, you have to pull it a bit and it unlocks. However, it winds up well and quickly!
- Being lighter and taller (and shorter in length) than the old one I had, it is more prone to tipping over when you pull it.
- I would like 1-2 more attachments (e.g. for mattresses or fabric sofas, as well as a narrow hose for hard-to-reach areas).
- It doesn't have an exhaust adjustment for when it gets stuck (because it has the + - on the handle). I think an exhaust adjuster is more practical.
The noise level depends on the intensity you use it at. It makes noise - it's a vacuum cleaner, it won't be silent!!!!
Without being a bad vacuum cleaner (it cleans OK), I'm not sure if I would buy it again because of the 2-3 negatives I mentioned (hence the 4).
Awesome vacuum cleaner and very powerful, we have it for 6 months and it's incredible on both carpets and floors.. It doesn't leave a single crumb.. I highly recommend it..!!!
