Bosch Unlimited Serie 8 Gen 2 BCS8224GB ProHome 18V Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, 2 Exchangeable Batteries and QuickCharger, Continuous runtime - White

Product Information

The brush has its own drive and rotates automatically. This way, it transports the dirt better into the suction tube. On top of the body is the Turbo switch. That might not be as corny as Tesla’s ‘Insane’ power mode, but it seriously ramps up the BCS122GB’s suction. Runtime takes a nosedive accordingly. The cleaning performance on hard floors was outstanding. It just took a little longer with the lentils and the oat flakes because it pushed a few lentils in front of the brush at first.

Selve det roterende hoved i mundstykket kan tages ud, og du kan derfor let fjerne hår og skidt der skulle sidder omkring rullen. Det er en god ting, at man ikke skal “nørkle” for at få de ting renset. Godt tænkt. On normal power mode with no tools, this cleaner barely registered 65dB of noise output. That is much quieter than most of its premium cordless competitors and the sound is an inoffensive drone – as opposed to the dentist-drill sound of some.The Bosch brings 3.2 kg (7 lbs) to the scale. That’s a real heavyweight among cordless vacuums, and it shouldn't get much heavier. De kleine 3000 mAh-batterijen gaan ook een behoorlijke hoeveelheid tijd mee - ongeveer 11 minuten per lading op maximaal vermogen en bijna een uur op laag vermogen. Ze laden ook snel op, in ongeveer een uur, en als bonus zijn ze ook compatibel met Bosch Unlimited-assortiment van accu-aangedreven huishoudelijke apparaten en gereedschap. Het probleem met deze stofzuiger is dat hij bijna net zo duur is als veel van zijn rivalen en over het algemeen niet zo krachtig of effectief. Zowel de Dyson V8 en de Dyson V10 en V11 beide aanzienlijk beter presteren.

Det jeg elsker ved batteridrevne støvsugere er at de er let tilgængelige. Det gør også at man rent faktisk får dem brugt. Vores støvsuger står i vores lille kontor ved siden af køkkenet (eller rettere hænger). Det gør at jeg let kan hente den, hvis jeg lige skal støvsuge omkring køkkenøen når jeg har hygget mig i køkkenet med madlavning. When emptying the dirt container, it’s crucial that you can carry the dirt from the device to the dustbin as easily and as cleanly as possible. Every manufacturer has its own system. Some work well, and others don’t. Den eneste ting der “irriterer” mig lidt, er når den skal tømme for affald. Man skal afmontere støvsugerrøret, og så klikke “fronten” af, hvor affaldsbeholderen også sidder på. Man kan stille selve støvsugerdelen på bordet, og så tømme beholderen. Desværre kan man ikke stille affaldsbeholderen fra sig på bordet, da den har vægten skævt fordel. Det betyder at den automatisk vælter, hvis du forsøger, og det kan resultere i lidt skidt på bordet, hvis du forsøger. But the best thing about the exchangeable battery is yet to come. The highlight is that you can use the same battery for many other Bosch tools, too. We’ll talk more about that later. How big and heavy is the Bosch Unlimited from the Series 8? The two batteries supplied with this model are remarkably compact and light for their capacity. For comparison, a lot of budget cordless cleaners come with 1.5Ah or 2Ah batteries that are larger and heavier. The solid capacity promises a whole lot of run time from the cleaner, with the ability to swap out batteries and charge while you are cleaning.

How we test our cordless vacuum cleaners

Thankfully, because of the two batteries, this Bosch delivers plenty of serious Turbo-mode cleaning runtime. With the fast charger taking 55 minutes, power is not quite unlimited, but you can get a very long way around the house in 18 minutes. Bosch Unlimited BCS122GB – How noisy is it? Er zijn echter veel verschillen tussen de twee machines, en de belangrijkste is niet in het voordeel van de Bosch. Simpel gezegd, het mechanisme dat wordt gebruikt om de stofopvangbak te verwijderen om te legen, is weinig gebruiksvriendelijk. Om te beginnen is het niet meteen duidelijk hoe je dit moet doen. Het blijkt dat je op een ontgrendelingsknop moet drukken en de bak naar beneden en weg van het hoofdgedeelte van het vacuüm moet trekken, maar dit is een verdraaiing waar je naar moet raden. Op de stofzuiger zelf staat geen indicatie of je aan de bak trekt, duwt of draait om hem eraf te halen en ook geen label op de ontgrendelingsknop. Things change when Turbo is engaged but the Bosch still isn’t great. It’s more powerful this time than the Beldray but lags behind the Dyson, Xiaomi and Shark vacuums. This combination allows Bosch to claim ‘unlimited’ runtime for this cleaner. On standard power setting, it will go for an hour, and the charger can power up a battery in 55minutes. With the two batteries, theoretically, you simply won’t run out of power.

We first saw this tech on some of Bosch’s mains-powered cleaners and it worked well for both filtration and reducing the filter cleaning chore. It’s not washable though, so we do wonder how its performance will fair over time when particles get permanently lodged in its fibres. The device also belongs to the Bosch series called "Power for all". All the appliances in this series use the same batteries, and you can swap the batteries between the devices. Where there is light, there is also shadow

Why you can trust us

The Unlimited BCS122GB is the top-spec model of the series and comes with a solid, if not fully comprehensive, list of toys.

Når den sættes tilbage i holderen, så lader den op med det samme. Det gør at den altid er klar – og det fungerer bare. Jeg bruger nærmest aldrig vores almindelige støvsuger mere.The Bosch Unlimited has two cleaning modes – standard and “Turbo” – which you can toggle between by pressing a button on top of the vacuum’s pistol-grip handle. While the standard mode will get you plenty of battery life, it isn’t particularly effective, producing only 4.5kPa of suction. Joe, our wireless vacuum expert on the Smart Home Fox team, has spent over half a decade meticulously testing every model that has landed with us. Clip-on tools include a 2-in-1 furniture nozzle with pull-down dusting brush and a bonkers long and very flexible crevice tool. That is ideal for getting down behind radiators, but takes some wielding to accurately pinpoint spots of dust. A good-length metal tube optionally extends reach for all tools. Clips and fittings between tools and tubes are top-notch.
