Bosch BSG71370 Bagged Canister Vacuum

I had a Miele for 5 years and after numerous (expensive) repairs decided to find something more reliable, but unfortunately the Bosch wasn't it. Vacuum head constantly gets clogged, suction very poor and worse for bare floors , retractable cord constantly rewinding and unplugging itself. I feel I have to spend twice the time vacuuming the same area to make sure it picked up all the dirt. Granted, I have a dog, bird and two kids and a lot of "friend" traffic, but I couldn't recommend this vacuum at all. The Miele was more expensive but it really cleaned my carpets.
