I do heavy research on everything I buy. Here are my thoughts on buying this canister vacuum: Impressions
The Bosch Formula BSG71370UC is amazing: high performance, solid construction, convenient design. Small/light enough to be portable, but large enough to have built in attachment storage and a high capacity bag system. Suction power is adjustable, providing two things. First, full power is to powerful for some surfaces (there are warnings in the manual). Second, running at normal/low power, the unit is quieter than a microwave oven and you think its not pulling well until you put your hand over the hose - yeow! First impression of the first use on carpet that got regularly vacuumed: "wow, its looks like its been washed!" Attachments
This is the top of the formula line, including the turbo upholstery attachment. This draws energy from the airflow on the suction and transfers it to a scrubbing brush, with the sound of a turbo charger. This and all the attachments work like gang busters. The main carpet wand has a switch for turning the large scrubber's electric motor on/off (carpet/floors), and the suction with the crevice tool is so strong, nothing gets away. Even with the integrated motor, the head of this unit is low profile enough to fit in and around most furniture. The cord auto retracts, just give it a tug and let go. You can pull the canister itself behind you, the 3-360 wheels turn on a dime, but getting around objects still requires pull. With cleaning power combined with multiple filters, this is ideal for people with allergies. Floors
It handles bare floors mightily, just flip the handle located power switch to off to stop the spinning brush. For complete area cleaning, the small brush attachment hits the baseboards and low walls. The units wheels, of course, handle even better. Hair
My main use for this and the reason I bought this unit is cat hair, a job it handles well. With 2 sizes of scrubbing nozzles, no unattached hair can hide for long. Parts
In the configuration for full carpet/floors, it comes apart in 3 sections, hose, tube/handle, and powered nozzle. All 3 require both hands to disconnect, one to squeeze the release mechanism and the other to pull. One of the extra's on this unit is that the power wires for the motorized head are integrated into the tubes/hoses. This makes for quick dis/connects. Negatives
1) The hose is supposed to spin 360 degrees to avoid tangles but doesn't spin freely enough to work without thought. 2) I like responsive switches. The power switch has a lag time, designed to be used by feet so you have to hold a moment to turn it on and off. 3) Price is high, but abcvacuum.com cuts right through this. Surprise Use
Dust Buster replacement: Leaving it parked and plugged in, full time behind the sofa my cat frequents. Its so quiet on low, the bits moving down the pipe make more noise than the motor. Long Term Update
Having it for many months now, here's what else I've learned. The bag full gauge is tough to read, so the easiest way to tell the bag needs changing is that suction goes down - ie when you find yourself using full power. The turbo attachment isn't much more powerful than the standard small nozzle nor as powerful as the electric nozzle. So provided its clean, the floor/carpet electric nozzle cleans upholstery with gusto, leaving the turbo nozzle doing just the hard to reach places. And last but not least, a WONDERFUL way to clean stairs is by connecting the electric power floor/carpet nozzle directly to the wand, leaving the extension tube off. Alternatives
The rule with canister vacs is dexterity, the rule with uprights is mobility. This is my favorite canister, the Eureka Sanitaire SC6600 is my favorite upright:

Both do carpets + floors + elevated/hose suction. Decide for yourself which is more important. Canister = superior clean, upright = superior speed. The Sanitaire SC6600 is better for on-the-go use, with a 3 stage power switch with off/suction/suction scrub. The second position is for floors and if you're in the third (doing carpets) and pull out the hose for spot cleaning, it automatically switches to the second and then back again when you reinsert.
Sanitaire (eureka) also makes a canister thats worth looking at but with which I have no personal experience. Oddly, its sold under their commercial brand so its hard to find:

Not available and I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. That's the only reason why I give it >> 1 << star.
Did not take off all of the residue.I spent 30 minutes trying to get the residue off, but still had some left.I have only had the iron for 6 months and I use filtered water.
I just got a pair of these machine quilter's gloves, and I love using them!They give me that grip, needed, to 
I am a professional seamstress, handweaver and I iron fabric off and on all day, every day, five days a week.
I actually bought this on a whim at CVS (pharmacy), cost was same as Amazon - $9.99.It works like a dream!Only 2 nitpick comments:
It's great, if it works!!!After keep exchanging it over and over, I gave up the 5th time. First time, spray didn't work, second time, power steam button didn't release the steam, third time, it was too strong fabric got stock underneath the iron and I couldn't clean the iron, fourth time, steam problem again, fifth time, steam problem again. Poorly tested product. I would've been really happy to keep it, if it was working properly. It actually had all the features I was looking for. Too bad for Rowenta for not testing their products properly.
This little iron works great for pressing corners and seams. I keep it right by my sewing machine so I don't have to walk over to my ironing board every time I want to press down a seam or corner.
Ironing Board Cover.Cover shown is 54" long, but does not state how wide.Therefore difficult to decide if this product okay.Also, more information re ironing board material would be helpful. 
What can I say!All my Accuquilt Go dies and mats are great.Make sure (if you do a lot of cutting) to get 2 mats because they do wear after long uses.
It does NOT clean grout as well as it advertises. If you get this machine, please be careful with caulking...you can damage it quite easily. Because it damaged my caulk, I found it difficult to clean my shower with it because well, there's caulk in there and it gets dirty too!! The only thing I use it for now is to clean the outside parts of the toilet. Soap scum doesn't come off...My windows and mirrors do not get clean. The manual is a piece of trash so even if this machine could do something, you're on your own to find out how.
I bought this on Amazon from Mr. Vacuum and Ms. Sew to replace my Hoover wind tunnel.I have had two Hoover wind tunnels that have lasted an average of 3-4 years.Before that I had a Eureka vacumn cleaner.
Spent good money to put high end Berber carpet in the house with persian carpets in the main formal area, then found out the challenges of having a single machine manage the cleaning without ruining the investment!The rollers that spin to create the air fow can catch the loops! I looked at lots of options from Simplicity to Dyson and the Miele 7280 was the Lexus of them all.One boundary condition for us was an upright.
I got this in spite of the bad reviews because it seemed like it had enough adjustments to work for me. I dialed in my measurements and tried out a dress that I had made on the form and it fit exactly the way it fit me. I don't know how well pants will work on this. I tried on a pair of my cotton pants and they were to difficult to get on the form. I do think it will be helpful to fit and alter patterns. It was definitely cheaper to order on line than to get from the store. I thought it was well worth the money!
This little gadget works great, makes sewing curves simple, simple once you figure out the "trick" of it all, watch video on [...]. Only complaint, way too pricey, and if you have a Bernina machine, cost almost doubles by the time you buy the adaptor needed for Bernina.If you want to be able to make, Winding Ways, Double Wedding Rings, Drunkard's Path and other circle/curve type quilt blocks, this "Curve Master" is for you.

I bought this vacuum because I had gotten more than tired of having to replace my main vacuum every 2 years or so. Being originally from Germany, I was very familiar with the Miele brand and liked their excellent reputation. 
This is odd but my nephew won a pack of these in an Ebay auction thinking he was getting some kind of Metallica memorabilia. I inherited them and used them on an old Singer 591 (yes, they did fit with a bit of tinkering) and was able to patch a canvas cover for my trailer rig. I'd buy them again. Good quality. I'd give them five stars if I didn't have to tinker with my machine so much to use them.
Quality product, well priced, worthwhile product in my professional alterations service.
This style of bag is hard to find for some reason where I live.Having it delivered to my door is a bonus.I don't know if these are affiliated with the factory or are from an independent aftermarket supplier, but they fit perfectly and perform very well.I expect to purchase more in the future.
Really heavy! Nice and solid. I'm pretty strong, and this takes some muscle to move around.I put it up after I use it. I weighed it in at 22 lbs. 
Bought the wrong item. This thread stand is for the real large spools of thread, not the small (1100) threads for embroidering on my home embroidery machine. The thread stand is much larger than I anticipated. I suppose it would work but it's too big for my use. It's gray in color..I know, a bit picky but I prefer the white thread holders that are smaller and fit behind the machine. Will be returning it.
i bought this product rushedly. that was a mistake on my part. this sewing dummy does not have the average shape of a woman.
I love this vacuum. The good points:
I was unsure of how to get started doing free motion embroidery. I'd heard that using the bobbin for heavier, more interesting threads was the way to go. But I had no idea how to really make it work. This DVD was enlightening. It also has good info on supplies, machine setup, using decorative stitches, and going "digital" (if you have that sort of machine). I found this DVD very helpful for my needs, even though I only have a couple of vintage (1930's and 1960's) Singer sewing machines. Of course, if you have a fancy newer Bernina or other such sewing machine, you'll likely love it too.
First of all, I've never bought into the notion that a pricey vacuum does any better job than a less expensive Hoover.Until now.I did my research and checked Consumer Reports.org extensively before forking over big $$$ for this Bosch.It is worth ever nickel.It's quiet, does an excellent job on all floor types and is extremely easy to maneuver compared to my old Hoover wind tunnels.If you have the cash, I HIGHLY recommend it as a good investment.
I own a 6235 Singer and have already replaced this foot controller once, now I am needing to replace it a 2nd time.First time I thought it was my fault for keeping the machine infront of a heat vent, therefore the heat was drying out the little rubber bulb inside this controller that cracked.I moved the machine to a better spot in the room so that wouldn't happen again.Doesn't matter.The rubber bulb inside cracked again, and I am needing to replace this AGAIN.Might as well count on having to replace this on your machine from time to time.
