This is a job I probably wouldn't have undertaken in full without having viewed your video. In the event, it was very straightforward. Great stuff and many thanks!
Thanks for this, I have found the rubber strip at the base collects dust leaving dust stripe on the carpet, so a stiff narrow brush to dig out this collection point or a terminal screwdriver to pry out one end, to slide out remainder. (Note. 8 screw head assemble)
Got this one for 5 years. Very good. 1 year or more before, it began to work wors. The truth is that we haven't been very tidy? profesional? with the maximun ammount of "dirt" that the vacuum admit (the dots) and despite of that, the device has hold up to know. I clean filters in gas station, wiht the machine for blowing wheels up. That use to be enough to get them pretty clean. Cause if you use water you have to wait 24 hours or so. Nowadays I'm choosing if i buy a new one (not this model), or I "update" this, with second hand pieces. My motorized brush is broken, so I removed the inner brush. A new whole one costs 56 euros but you can find the whole vacuum at 50 even less. Succion power is lower now, but even with that, the machine works. Though without the inner spinning brush the dirt stucks? in the little external wheels. Ah....if We had been more careful with this trasto, it would have endured for longer as new, for sure. If you know where to buy cheap pieces, please let me know.
Useful video, but I have had a hell of a job getting the plastic casing back on where the large filter is at the back of the cleaner. In fact, part of it has cracked under the strain and I have had to leave out some white gauze which was located underneath the black foam filter. i will never attempt to remove this again.
This is really useful, thanks! I wonder if you have any other suggestions as to what might be causing lack of sucking? My vacuum is 6 months old and has suddenly stopped sucking (not a good thing for a vacuum cleaner!). I have cleaned it thoroughly in accordance with your instructions in this video, but it hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions?
If you have cleaned the filters thoroughly then there may be a blockage. If you remove the head at the bottom, and check the main airways to see if there is anything that could be blocking it. If not i should ring Bosch to get them to have a look as it will be covered under the 2 years warranty.
Hi In theory it should work, but Bosch wouldn't really recommend it. Because the bristles on the brush are quite soft i would just recommend leaving the brush in as it shouldnt damage wooden floors
Hello and thanks for this informative video. One question though: I have got a BCH6ATH25. At first, the motor used to start and stop without making any unnatural sound. But after 2 days, it makes a whistling noise which is most hearable when the motor is being turned off. Maybe this is normal for the ball-bearings or the armature to make this noise... Could you please tell me if your device makes a similar whistling noise? I really want to know if this is normal. Thank you...
1. I've just spent an hour and a half doing all the obvious things in this video. In this case, the user had *never* emptied the machine. Consequently, there was a solid build up of dust and detritus from the head into that cute little chamber. The secret you don't mention here is that you need to depress that lower button on the back and pull the bottom half of the machine off. This exposes the hose, which if it's been used long enough with regular emptying will clog solid. In such caes, if you don't do this, you are wasting your time if you only empty the chamber. 2. Secondly, I don't know about the comment regarding a number 8 screw head. Mine has torx head screws.
to clean mine i just take it outside empty the canister into the bin and give everything a good brush with a dustpan brush... works a treat... plus the dust just blows away and not around my home..
The battery will not die, but will gradually deteriorate over time. This will be the same as most cordless products that the maximum runtime will reduce the more it is charged up and used.
i just had one of these given to me anyway it kept cutting out every now and then but i fixed that with the help of an other video on yt oh and it was crap at picking stuff up so i did whats on this video with the filters and removed the full head unit to get to the main pipe which was blocked with a giant hair ball the size of a rolled up sock (dog hair) no wonder the thing didn't pick up hardly i think thats why i was given it as they know I'm a bit handy so would sort it out but yep now it all works as it should thanks for the info..
I'm not really sure as they used to be used on the older style bagged cleaners. Perhaps try putting it inside the bin when its empty and making sure to remove it when emptying the bin?
You know... I could have been doing this for 7 minutes and my vacuum would have been cleaned by now instead of just sitting here watching this dude do it. I still enjoy it tho.
I have tried to have a look from Bosch for you on this part. Unfortunately it looks like it is only available as part of the main floor head, rather than being able to get it as a spare on it's own.
Me too! with no luck - appreciate your help - have now ordered the complete head unit as on further investigation the drive motor has failed! - great video.
Despite the handle on my appliance being absolutely solid, I still took apart and cleaned with WD40 - seems to have worked. Thanks. Does anyone know if its okay to leave plugged in all the time?
These vacuums can be left on charge, but if you were going to leave it for a period of time without using it, i would recommend switching it off at the plug.
Do you know why is my vacuum been charged but red light keeps flashing when I vacuum my room. I have cleaned inside, no blockage, washed filters but red light keeps flashing.
@@lords-electrical Bought new filter and didn't make any difference. Red light still flashing. I think needs new battery. I contacted Bosch they said that battery is discontinued. My vacuum cleaner less than four years old.
I would never let mine get that dirty. I empty the canister and clean the filter bits on each clean. After empty the canisters I clean mine with a damp microfibre cloth
It is normally where the filter needs a good wash. If you have done that, then it can also be that the filter needs replacing if it has been washed several times, or there may be a blockage of something within the brush area.

Thanks for this video, I have the Athlet, although I thought I'd cleaned it - clearly I hadn't! Thanks for the demo, much appreciated.
Thank you for helping me. Good video and guide!
Excellent & concise on how to clean the vacuum.
Well done.
Thanks
Thank you so much, had done the main filter but was stuck on the foam one on the other side, very helpful.
Excellent informative video. Many thanks for posting.
10/10 a great help , many thanks
Thank you so much this is so informative I'm shook
Thank you so much for this video! Keep it up!👍
Very clear and helpful many thanks

Doesent tell you how to clean the two wheels on clogged up with hair cant get it off
Very useful; thanks!

I have a flexxo serie 4 BCH3ALL21/03 is the cleaning regimen of the filter unit the same as this vacuum?
Legend thanks!
It's a fucking hoover mate. He didnt find a cure for cancer.
it can be used recharged and also unde charge?? thanks
Thank youu
I have cleaned all filters and the brush but have a rattle noise. Seems to be the silver rod that the brush slides over, can this be loose ?

Thank you! :-).This time, I can't get the filter out of the middle!
scared of the dust when clean the filter....fear of getting disease for that.. lol
can we use the brush bar without the roller (that one full of hair) when we do the normal/wood floors and put in the roll only for carpets? thank you
Hi In theory it should work, but Bosch wouldn't really recommend it. Because the bristles on the brush are quite soft i would just recommend leaving the brush in as it shouldnt damage wooden floors
Thank you. One question.
The red part, is it a filter covering that. Do I have to replace that , light Brown, filter? Is it made of paper or what?
It is a Sponge part of the filter than can be washed and then replaced if need be

Hi, It shouldn't normally make a whistling noise. If it is still under the 2 year warranty perhaps contact Bosch to see if they can help out.
Heres an idea...contact Bosch.

thanks a lot, mine were beginning to smell as you vaccum..
So I need vacuum cleaner for vacuum cleaner ?
Can you run warm water through the foot to remove all dust out of the pipe part??
It wouldn't really be recommended water in the foot of the vacuum as there will be electrical components there
to clean mine i just take it outside empty the canister into the bin and give everything a good brush with a dustpan brush... works a treat... plus the dust just blows away and not around my home..
That's also my method!
Same
Все точно так же делаю)
so, will the battery die within a year of use like with many other cordless vacuum cleaners?
The battery will not die, but will gradually deteriorate over time. This will be the same as most cordless products that the maximum runtime will reduce the more it is charged up and used.

Great to hear, thanks for the feedback
Thank you does anyone no where you put hoover freshener discs 🥰
I'm not really sure as they used to be used on the older style bagged cleaners. Perhaps try putting it inside the bin when its empty and making sure to remove it when emptying the bin?
@@lords-electrical thanks il try that👍
Can you put that back foam piece through the washing machine?
I wouldn't to be honest. Just hand wash it and let it dry naturally before putting it in the vacuum
You know... I could have been doing this for 7 minutes and my vacuum would have been cleaned by now instead of just sitting here watching this dude do it. I still enjoy it tho.
There is a plastic 'scrapper' blade behind the brush which has split and worn - where can we get a replacement

عندي واحدة بها عطل ممكن مساعدة

Do you know why is my vacuum been charged but red light keeps flashing when I vacuum my room. I have cleaned inside, no blockage, washed filters but red light keeps flashing.
The red light on the front of the vacuum is normally an indication there is an issue with the filter, so it could need replacing by now
@@lords-electrical Thank you very much.
@@lords-electrical Bought new filter and didn't make any difference. Red light still flashing. I think needs new battery. I contacted Bosch they said that battery is discontinued. My vacuum cleaner less than four years old.
Best way to clean is with compressed air.
I would never let mine get that dirty. I empty the canister and clean the filter bits on each clean. After empty the canisters I clean mine with a damp microfibre cloth
sue hempel: what a champ you are!
Despite following this the middle of it is still reallly clogged up i just cant get to it.
My bosch Athlet drops debris after I have switched it off. Why is this
It is normally where the filter needs a good wash. If you have done that, then it can also be that the filter needs replacing if it has been washed several times, or there may be a blockage of something within the brush area.
It gets stuck in the vacuum head, near the brushes. Basically, it’s poorly designed.
Oh, It needs too much cleaning work. And the foam filter can be easily clogged, like my Panasonic vacuum cleaner.
The basic maintenance on the cleaner is actually very simple, and as the filter is washable it can be cleaned quickly as well.
as per my comment I just dont let my unit get that dirty. I have a Bosch Pet stick and I clean it after each clean

That was amrs
Well explained but much too slooooooooow.
I really miss the days when vacuum cleaners had dirtbags :-/
Do you need a certificate to do this? I mean you need to go to a university to learn all these steps. It's so complicated it needs this video training. Thanks for doing it, I won't buy this product.
They're good but high maintenance
If it seems complicated to you then it's you that's the problem. 2 minute job, max, even if it is as dirty as his.
