This message has been automatically translatedHow do you collect the cable?
This message has been automatically translatedHello! Does the Bosch GL-20 vacuum cleaner come with a reusable or disposable dust bag?
This message has been automatically translatedHi, I have just purchased a Bosch GL-20. It says that the vacuum is bag and bagless. Yesterday, when I purchased the vacuum cleaner, I mentioned to the retailer that I was only interested in bagless. Does this mean that the bag and bagless gives you the option to use one or the other? And I can just use the bagless. Concerned about the impact of more rubbish in our already over capacitated landfills. Thank you kindly.
