Product Information

There’s also an adjustable strap that attaches to the short handle and the hose clip, both using Velcro pads, which wrap around onto themselves. The system works well and we found it quite comfy having the lightweight cleaner body (just 2.7kg with hose) over the shoulder.

Bosch Athlet ProAnimal – Cleaning

Consider the price. We’ll dive into a lot more detail on the price of BOSCH Serie 6 Athlet Power BBH65KITGB Cordless Vacuum Cleaner shortly, but in terms of quality, the obvious advice here is ‘you get what you pay for’. It’s really just being aware that if you’re buying the cheapest of the Vacuum cleaners from Currys PC World you might not expect the same level of quality as you’d get from a decent quality product like BOSCH Serie 6 Athlet Power BBH65KITGB Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. Next up after looking at the category and the average prices, we thought it would be good to take a look at the brand, Bosch.

The hose is a useful 1.55m long, nicely flexible and terminates in a short straight handle. We struggled with the hose handle a little, since the straight design meant a little more wrist-twisting action was required compared to curved handles. That said, since there are no extension tubes you’ll likely be reaching up or down to clean steps and furniture, essentially straightening out your wrist anyway. There were also a total of 184 products that were more expensive from Bosch and 91 that were cheaper. Price of Bosch products in the Vacuum cleaners category

Bosch’s SensorBagless technology monitors dust in the bin and the state of the washable filter, running an LED on the front to indicate its status. Blue is OK; red means the bin needs emptying or the filter cleaning. A second filter is supplied for speedy mid-cleaning filter changes. Like other Athlet’s in the range, the 0.9-litre bin clips off easily and the top removes for emptying.

Sure enough, the cleaner ran for just over 60 minutes (60mins 50secs and 61mins 30secs) in two consecutive tests. However, Bosch has clearly sacrificed power for the headline run-time as suction through the nozzle is quite pathetic. The next step in the price analysis was to look at the average price you would typically expect to pay for Vacuum cleaners and as Currys PC World was selected for this review we’ve used them for gathering our information on the average price of Vacuum cleaners.

That aside, level 2 gave us just over 28 minutes run-time and delivered all the great carpet and hard-floor cleaning we’ve come to expect from the Athlet range. It takes around six hours for a full charge but will reach 80% charge in half that, as indicated by three LEDs on the front. If you have your heart set on a particular brand or even a selection of brands then we’d suggest you spend a bit of time writing up a list of the brands that you would happily buy. This can really help you in narrowing down the selection when it comes to choosing a product. For example, over at Currys PC World you can filter products by brand, so you could filter just to show the brands on your list. This is especially useful knowing that there are 124 Vacuum cleaners to choose from at Currys PC World.
