I got it "open box" a couple years ago for $80. Haven't been disappointed yet.
But I've bought and used a couple of the Bosch 12V drills. Brushed and brushless. Had the same strange issue with both. I pull the trigger, the LED lights light up but drill doesn't activate. Sometimes it just pauses for 1 second then starts. Sometimes it refuses to work, I release the trigger and pull again and it works. Sometimes it refuses to work, I release the trigger and pull it again and it doesn't work, then 3 pulls later it starts working again. It's gotten worse over time. I used them in a professional setting many times a day. Used to be like once every two weeks. Lately it's been once every other day.
Used to be a huge proponent..... I kinda have to cool off on that now. In Bosch's defense, if this can be called that, I haven't tried their warranty service. Warranty is only 1 year and I know I'm over that. My brushless one is probably 2 years old. Brushed one probably 3.5 years.

A surgeon's scalpel vs a chainsaw. They each have their place.
Side note, that DeWalt set uses NiCd batteries. In 2018, don't waste your time and money with NiCd.

So the Bosch is a good buy for light use around the house? I thought 12v will be inadequate considering there are 20v available for around the same price.

It'll drill some holes and tighten some screws... in that sense they are the same!
Small projects around the house? Bosch set
Building furniture? Bosch set
Decking? DeWalt set, but you'll need to recharge the batteries just as many times as the Bosch I am willing to bet
Anchoring into concrete? Neither
Be prepared to sacrifice uncle Ben, your other uncle Ben, and one more uncle Ben if you want something that can last all day building a deck or drilling into concrete
For a typical home owner, these 12v tools should be powerful enough and tackle about 95% of your jobs. However, if you're building a deck and need to drive in 3" deck screws over and over, then you'd probably want an 18v or 20v driver.
BTW, if you don't own an impact driver like this, get one! They are a huge help and minimize the stripping of screw heads when putting in or removing screws.
Good residential combo tool, but the batteries will degrade shortly after the warranty discharges.
