1) Amazon has as always delivered super fast and on time.
2) As usual, the ladies of the hotline have nice, friendly and courteous helped. To me it's really unpleasant to have to go back a device.
3) Why is "blue" stick to Bosch? - The Bosch great service and because there is a good alternative product. There I had called and it seemed (so my impression) that you have understood me. Recommendations were also well. Mir is the total package important (product and service).
So, I have now made long back and forth, scours the Bosch Pro Forum (BOB), and read relevant websites: The grinding results seem to be very good from this unit.
Seem therefore, since I never "on stream" had that device.
The unit comes as already indicated back!
Reasons: 1) poor workmanship, 2) lack of connection to a vacuum cleaner and not -Bosch 3) of the adapter has holes from which emerges the dust, when the dust en route to the vacuum cleaner.
As I bow in closed rooms, I need a secure and good dust extraction. With the Bosch Accessories (2605411147), a small box, which you may acquire extra seems that even for small amounts to be possible. However, to operate the GEX with a vacuum cleaner, is not possible with available materials so.
First accessory:
When the dust box is filled, you have to open the lid (very stiff) and empty the dust. After that clean the filter and on it goes. Those who have a bit of imagination, it becomes clear: could that be "dusty" pretty indoors.
No problem, just connect the GEX 125 to the vacuum cleaner, as my GTS 10 XC, the GKS 55 GCE, or PJ7000J - I thought. But not so.
So the adapter is connected and the sleeve of the suction tube top. Do not go: My Kärcher has the 35mm variant and the adapter something with 23mm. Searched and found nothing. Nothing is wrong: you can with additional adapters (I think from Kärcher) to cut something and then secure it with duct tape. Ahhhhhhhhh.
Note the Bosch adapter (not found in the accessories catalog, but somewhere in the BOB-Forum) fit only the Bosch vacuum cleaner!
With a adpater (extra cost about 18) - and we are in an additional 30 to the purchase price - I could not make friends, yes, if there was not one thing that makes me mad: holes in the adapter, which let the dust.
Image 1:
1A shows the edge on which the pin of the GEX ends and the adapter is narrower. Thereafter (!!!) come 2 holes, let out the dust. For a better presentation I put paper towels in the air duct. In 1A holders for attaching the adapter to the GEX. For opening pressing the two tabs inward. For this, a hole was left in the left and right adapters, depending from which - you guessed it - the dust can escape.
In 1B we see a hole, whose meaning is not obvious to me. To understand now that here also dust will leak (can not), you look at who knew 1C. This Knew later the end of a plugged adapter. The hole 1B is therefore completely free. But as expected leak tidy dust.
Figure 2:
from a different perspective: 2A = end of the hose possible, 2B hole (cloth looks out) and 2C shows the spot where a 4-square hole is present.
Figure 3:
Here from the GEX: 3A named the 4-square hole to release the adapter. 3B, the exposed hole and 3C the slope.
Figure 4:
4A is the edge at which the pin of the GEX ceases. After the 4-square hole (4B) and 4C, the round hole exposed.
I hope I have made clear that this is not design to say the least useful.
For processing quality:
In Figure 5 you can see (5A) very clear that unsightly and sharp Did exist. It looks like after "broken Did" from. In addition, these are very sharp. The risk of injuring the furniture so are high.
All in all, I am completely disappointed with this product.
I have deliberately chosen for Bosch Professional: select, purchase, use.
But still have to install with any abstruse Basteleien a suction hose with a so high-priced device, has to an adapter, the holes do not go.
I'm sorry, forgive only one star, but because the engineers have not covered themselves with glory.
The Bosch GEX 125-150 AVE Professional does not have these issues and also has a good reputation.
