My Bosch vacuum was a couple of years old and had seen some fairly heavy use. I had begun to notice stinky air at the exhaust when even a new bag was only partially full. By replacing the existing filter with the Micro/Charcoal filter I have eliminated the stinky exhaust.

While I was buying my Bosch vacuum, I mentioned I had a large dog. When I vacuumed any carpeted areas the exhaust from the vacuum accented/increased the dog smell, which I'm sure everyone is familiar with since it's pretty distinct. At the time, he mentioned the charcoal filter and how well it worked.

I thought I'd try out the vacuum first just to make sure. With the standard filter, the smell was still there and intensified but after I used the charcoal filter, I was truly amazed at how well it works and there was no dog odor. You'll know when it's time to change the filter because you'll be able to smell the odor again. Usually I get about 6 months from one filter.

It's a great option for pet owners and anyone whose vacuum's exhaust has an odor. We do bath and keep our dog pretty clean but it even works well when he's about ready for the next bath.

My Bosch BSA2101UC canister that I picked up at a pretty reasonable price does a great job but began expelling stinky exhaust. The exhaust comes out the top directed towards the user so I thought I'd try one of these. It did solve the problem but it sure is an expensive solution. The smell might be caused by our 2 dogs although we keep them regularly washed and I don't notice a smell until I vacuum.
