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

Product Information

We have little doubt Bosch has specified a lower torque brush bar motor to save power and increase runtime but – like the ineffective normal power mode – it’s a false economy. We would happily trade a couple of minutes of Turbo runtime for a brushbar that cleaned consistently without slowing or stopping. It’s not an issue we have experienced with Bosch’s premium competitors either. That alone lets down an otherwise excellent carpet-cleaning performance. The High Power brush has great "gliding properties", which also contribute to the cordless vacuum’s smooth movement. 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 main difference between the BBS1U224 and BSS81POW1 of the Bosch Unlimited Series 8 is the delivery scope, apart from the price. 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.

We used the Unlimited BCs122GB on stairs with both the tube attached and with the floorhead connected directly to the cleaner body. Both worked well and, if you have straight steps, the tube gives extra reach and you can support it with your other hand. For more complex stairs, shortening up the system and using the floorhead directly works well. 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. It’s not a big issue when vacuuming the floor, but it’s somewhat exhausting when cleaning the furniture for longer times. After all, the motor unit alone weighs about 2 kg (4.4 lbs).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. 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 almindelig medfølgende oplader tager ca 5 timer om at lade fuldt op. Med den gode batteritid i giver det ingen udfordringer i hverdagen, da den bare hænges retur på væg-beslaget, og lader op der. Bosch Unlimited Serie 8 støvsugeren er lavet i kvalitetsplastik. Den er robust og føles ikke som noget der er ved at falde fra hinanden. Bosch støvsugeren er pænt og faktisk elegant i den flotte hvide farve med krom-kanter. However, those huge runtime differences highlight the equally massive difference in suction power between modes, and we think Bosch has got it very wrong here.

At 65dB, the BCS122GB competes with some of the market’s best low-noise and ‘silence’ mains cleaners. You won’t disturb the neighbours even during midnight cleaning sorties. The brush has its own drive and rotates automatically. This way, it transports the dirt better into the suction tube. 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 brush is 25 cm (9.8 inches) wide, and its roller has a width of 21 cm (8.3 inches). That size is entirely sufficient for cleaning. We even reached the corners and got under most of our furniture. Bosch claims that this filter system that the air is 99.9% clean when it gets out of the device. And indeed, when you pull out the filter, you can see that it catches a lot of dirt and small particles. Dit werd nog verergerd door het feit dat het in de eerste plaats nogal wat moeite kost om de bak van zijn ligplaatsen te verwijderen. En in mijn geval was de ontgrendelingsknop ook nogal moeilijk in te drukken - als ik niet op de juiste plaats drukte, bleef de bak stevig op zijn plaats. Al met al is het een nogal arm stukje ontwerp, wat jammer is omdat de rest van het vacuüm verstandig in elkaar zit. Batterij-duur

Er zijn veel dingen die ik leuk vind aan de Bosch Unlimited (Serie 8) stofzuiger. Het heeft verwisselbare, snelladende batterijen die ook op andere apparaten kunnen worden gebruikt. Het reinigt effectief als u het juiste opzetstuk kiest en het ziet er ook nog eens gelikt uit. In constant use, we got single-battery run times a fair bit longer than Bosch’s claims. These ranged from a truly staggering 89 minutes on normal power mode with just a detail tool attached, to a fairly respectable nine minutes on Turbo power mode with the floorhead running. An hour and half of cleaning from a single battery is our new vacuum cleaner runtime record by miles – and you get two batteries. Three hours of vacuuming anyone? No, us neither.We could remove most dirt in the weaker mode. When it got really dirty, we made use of the turbo mode. The attachments’ contribution to the cleaning process The configuration of the Bosch Unlimited will be familiar to most people by now; if you’ve seen a Dyson V8, you know the deal. The vacuum motor, battery and dust collection bin are all housed in a compact, handheld unit that you connect your cleaning attachments to. Zoals gepopulariseerd door de gelijknamige Dyson, is deze Bosch ook zonder zak, maar hij heeft slechts een capaciteit van 0,4 l, dus je zult hem vrij vaak moeten legen. Hij is kleiner dan de opvangbak van 0,54 l van de Dyson V8, hoewel er per saldo niet genoeg in zit om een significant verschil te maken in de manier waarop je de stofzuiger gebruikt.

Afgezien van het vrijgavesysteem voor de vuilnisbak, voelt het geheel goed aan. Het is enigszins teleurstellend dat er geen kleinere gemotoriseerde kop is om de trap schoon te maken, maar dat u zonder al te veel gedoe een gewone kop kunt gebruiken. En het is een bonus dat u uw vinger niet op een trekker hoeft te houden om het vacuüm aan te houden. Trek gewoon één keer aan de trekker om de motor te starten en trek er vervolgens weer aan om hem uit te schakelen. Gemakkelijk. Bosch Unlimited (Serie 8) review: prestaties The only disadvantage was that it pushed coarse dirt in front of the brush sometimes. That’s probably because the suction power is too strong for the brush’s narrow slot.We assess the cleaning performance of each vacuum cleaner, compare it to the competition, and then rate it. Another unique feature of the design is the exchangeable battery of the Bosch Unlimited Pro Power. You can remove the battery at the push of a button and insert a new one. Bosch was one of the first manufacturers in the UK to implement this, and many have followed suit.
