BOSCH GAS18V-3N 18V 2.6 gallon Vacuum Bare Tool, Blue

I was surprised by its size (bigger than I expected), but it is powerful....more so than common home vac. The power and design allows for clearing of saw dust and masonry dust, without the worry of damaging the vac. But it does consume power....I will have to get use to how quickly is consumes the power of 2Ah batteries, or will have to purchase 4Ah batteries (expensive)

For a portable vacuum (shop-vac style) it's got strong suction and is light enough to move around. I was REALLY impressed with the quality of the hoses. Not impressed with the so/so storage of the tips and extension, which were also of fine quality. The battery life was less than I expected, and I have 6 Ah batteries in there, but expectations should be tailored to its function. It sucks.... a lot LOL. With lots of suction you need lots of power. Power in batteries gets used quickly, so: 1) make sure you have the larger (not largest) battery size I think 6 Ah but another review somewhere says which are too big and 2) make sure you have 2 batteries and the quick charger. Otherwise i'm a happy Bosch user and it's a nice product.

Muy potente aspiradora aunque es muy necesario una buena bateria de 18V de la misma marca Bosch (otra marca no funciona). y su cargador de carga rápida. Yo la probe con la batería de 1.5 Ah y dura unos 15 min aprox. No tiene cable para conectar directamente a la corriente eléctrica por ello es muy importante tener las baterias

I ordered this when we brought home two standard poodle puppies, and it's perfect for its intended uses. This is a terrific cordless vacuum. Let me repeat, this is a terrific _cordless_ vacuum. Please be under no delusion that a cordless vacuum in 2020 can possibly have the suction power of a 120V AC plug-in vacuum. Also, all reasonable cordless tools require that you join their battery ecosystem, so don't get crankers when you discover batteries and chargers are expensive. If you've got the proper expectations, this vacuum will meet or exceed them. If you're trying to clean the sludge out of the bottom of a rain catchment barrel, get yourself a plug-in wet/dry shop vacuum; you're in the wrong market here. The three extension pieces give you a full-length wand, but of course you can use merely one or two of them for shorter reach and easier manipulation. The attachments are limited, but sufficient for the reasonable uses of such a device. The canister is spacious, it has a good filter, the battery charge indicator is very convenient, and it's a very reasonable weight, considering it's so easy to put down, pick back up, and move around. I recommend the 6.3 Ah Core batteries over smaller sizes, for decent endurance. I have a lot of the 4 Ah pre-Core batteries, and those run dry in maybe 20-30 minutes. The 6.3 Ah batteries give me a week or two of spot-cleanup usage, which is more than enough. Get yourself the kit with the charger and the two 6.3 Ah Core18V batteries, and be in the discipline of always putting the drained one on the charger when you change batteries. If you're in the market for a vacuum based on a cordless tool ecosystem, you can't do better than this. In the cordless tool world, you've got three tiers: 1) Bosch and Mil****** (red) 2) Everything else except... 3) ...Ry*** (light green) Only buy tier 1. Tier 2 is wasting money on a tool that will die suddenly. Tier 3 is single-use-then-landfill. This is a great member of the Bosch 18V cordless ecosystem. Get the bigger batteries for a vacuum, regardless of which ecosystem you're in.

Didn’t expect to be this good, super light weight and solid build, I did order another 8A battery for it but didn’t even use 50% of the first one
