Rating of Bosch handheld vacuum cleaners: TOP 7 models + recommendations for buyers of compact equipment

Handheld vacuum cleaners are compact and convenient cleaning equipment.Hand Stick-type units differ from their analogues in their small dimensions, but at the same time they can compete with them in terms of cleaning quality. Especially if the manufacturer used high-quality components in production.

If you don't want to waste your money, purchasing Bosch brand equipment would be a good choice. But to make it easier for you to decide on the option, in our article we will look at the best Bosch manual vacuum cleaners on the market. Let's talk about the power and functionality of popular models and other performance characteristics.

TOP 7 Bosch handheld vacuum cleaners

The German company is one of the leading and most respected suppliers of a wide variety of household appliances.

The Bosch assortment includes washing machines, water heating boilers, dishwashers, stoves, vacuum cleaners of all types, dryers and much more. At the same time, the equipment is of high quality and rich in functionality.

When compiling the rating of compact cleaning equipment, we took into account such criteria as the type of device (manual or 2 in 1), capacity and type of battery, autonomy (working time on one charge), maximum noise level, features of the dust collector, equipment, weight, and also power.

7th place - Bosch PAS 18 LI Set

The rating opens with the manual model Bosch PAS 18 LI Set. The device is supplied in a green cardboard box. The packaging is designed in the same style as all other devices of this brand belonging to the amateur series.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• battery capacity - 2,500 mAh;
• maximum charging time - 1.5 hours;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter with a capacity of 0.65 l;
• air flow - 1.4 m³ in one minute;
• device weight - 1.3 kg.

The presented vacuum cleaner has an oblong body with rounded edges.

After unpacking, you will find the following set of cleaning accessories:

• brushes for crevices and upholstered furniture;
• standard nozzle, without turbo mode;
• extension tube;
• charger for recharging the battery;
• battery;
• plastic retainer for convenient storage of all attachments together. The device is divided in half: the first part is the dust collector, and the second is the motor, along with the battery and control buttons.

The main advantage of the Bosch PAS 18 LI Set is its power and the presence of a cyclone filter. Thanks to the latter, the cleaning process will be more convenient and enjoyable.

As for the shortcomings, the cost of the model stopped at 8,200 rubles. For cleaning equipment of this class and with such characteristics, this price tag is too high.

6th place - Bosch BHN 20110

If you are going to use the vacuum cleaner mainly in the car, then pay attention to the Bosch BHN 20110.

It will help you maintain order in the salon without unnecessary worries. The device has everything for this - a spacious dust container, a good battery and acceptable suction power.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• Battery life: about 16 minutes;
• maximum charging time - 960 minutes;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter;
• device weight - 1.4 kg.

This vacuum cleaner has modest dimensions - (DxWxH) 36.80x11x13.80 cm. A crevice brush is supplied with the device. Bosch BHN 20110 is an excellent choice for a car and only for it. After all, the device is unlikely to be suitable for cleaning the house.

The presented hand vacuum cleaner has rather weak suction power. It was also a bad idea on the part of the manufacturer to use nickel batteries. Because of them, the charging time reaches 16 hours. At the same time, the operating time is only 16 minutes.

5th place - Bosch GAS 18V-1

Fifth place is occupied by the convenient and small hand-held vacuum cleaner Bosch GAS 18V-1. It is designed for cleaning dry materials that are not hazardous to health. It also doesn't have a bag. The role of the dust collector is performed by a cyclone filter. This makes the device more convenient to use.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• operating time on one charge - 20 minutes;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter, the capacity of which is 0.7 l;
• vacuum - 6 kPa;
• air flow - 600 liters per minute;
• device weight - 1.3 kg.

The device is supplied with: crevice and floor brushes; a pair of dust extraction pipes; flexible extension.

A rather significant drawback of the model is the lack of a battery and a charger for it. You will have to purchase them separately for a fairly significant amount.

For its money, the Bosch GAS 18V-1 shows good power and battery life. At the same time, it is quite maneuverable and lightweight. But due to the high cost of batteries and their absence in the starter kit, the model was placed on the 5th line of the rating.

4th place - Bosch BBH 216RB3

Ease of use, easy storage and high suction power are why the Bosch BBH 216RB3 has become so popular. This is a good option for cleaning equipment not only for a car, but also for an apartment with two or three rooms.

The presented model can cope even with a medium-pile carpet. It will collect all the dust into the cyclone filter, returning clean and fresh air to the room.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• Battery life: about 32 minutes;
• maximum charging time - 16 hours;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter with a capacity of 0.3 l;
• device weight - 3 kg.

I'm glad that the Bosch BBH 216RB3 is a 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner. That is, it is manual and vertical at the same time. Therefore, it can be used for cleaning the car interior and for cleaning any floor coverings.

Among the disadvantages of the presented technology, the long charging time should be highlighted. The dust collector, which is modest in volume, also causes a lot of inconvenience.

3rd place - Bosch BBH 21622

The top three is opened by the German vertical + manual vacuum cleaner Bosch BBH 21622. This is a more modern model than the one discussed above. The device is convenient, maneuverable and has sufficient performance.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• Battery life: about 32 minutes;
• maximum charging time - 16 hours;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter with a capacity of 0.3 l;
• device weight - 2.86 kg.

The main difference between the presented vacuum cleaner and its analogue is its lightness, greater suction power and lower cost. But, like its competitor, the Bosch BBH 21622 takes a long time to charge, and its dust container has a volume of only 0.3 liters.

2nd place - Bosch BCH 6ATH25

In second place in the rating is a convenient, maneuverable and powerful 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner. The Bosch BCH 6ATH25 also attracts users with its stylish design and sufficient equipment. Thus, an electric carpet brush is supplied in the box with the device, but the crevice nozzle, according to the owners, is not always available.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• Battery life: about 60 minutes;
• maximum charging time - 360 hours;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter with a capacity of 0.9 l;
• device weight - 3.6 kg.

On the device body you will find a dust bin full indicator. This is a useful feature that will make cleaning easier.

The device also has a good battery. It holds a charge for 60 minutes of operation, which will be more than enough to clean a two or even three-room apartment. In addition, it copes well with carpets with small and medium pile.

As for the disadvantages, the Bosch BCH 6ATH25 is heavy and, according to many buyers, the charge is enough for 30 minutes of work per day, and not 60, as stated in the passport. But this is more than enough to keep your home perfectly clean.

1st place - Bosch EasyVac 12

The leader in the rating was a lightweight, quiet and compact manual vacuum cleaner. Bosch EasyVac 12 has won the attention of thousands of customers due to its convenience and high battery capacity. On one charge it can work up to 25 minutes.

Characteristics:

• type of cleaning performed - dry;
• operating time on one battery charge is about 22 minutes;
• type of container for garbage and dust - cyclone filter with a volume of 0.38 l;
• air flow - 1.2 m³ in one minute;
• maximum vacuum 5.3 kPa;
• device weight - 1 kg.

The device comes with nozzles for crevices, floors and a brush. You won't have to buy anything. At the same time, the Bosch EasyVac 12 will be an excellent assistant around the house and for cleaning the car.

Well, if you supplement it with a robot vacuum cleaner, then you can maintain perfect order in your house without any problems and wasting time.

As for the shortcomings, users only speak negatively about the filter. After the first use, it becomes clogged with dust, which is difficult to remove even with a stiff brush.

What to look for when choosing a manual vacuum cleaner?

Even though these small devices have rather modest functionality, they are gaining more and more popularity every year.

Today, both well-known and not very well-known manufacturers offer dozens of devices in this class. Therefore, a buyer who has decided to buy a compact home assistant will undoubtedly have a lot of questions and problems when choosing it.

Criterion #1 - battery capacity and type

When looking for the best compact vacuum cleaner, you first need to pay attention to the capacity and type of battery. It is best to choose a lithium-ion battery.

Compared to nickel competitors, it has a number of significant advantages: high charging speed, much lower weight, as well as higher capacity with the same dimensions.

Before purchasing, it would be a good idea to look at the manufacturer’s warranty on the battery (service life) and immediately ask the price for a new one. Sometimes a new battery costs half the price of a new vacuum cleaner.

Criterion #2 - power or suction strength of the equipment

An important characteristic of hand-held vacuum cleaners is their performance.The power of most inexpensive units has stopped at 10 watts. But there are models that go beyond 60 W.

The higher the suction power, the better the cleaning quality. The most modern models of this year of production deliver a power of 100 and sometimes 200 watts. But in the latter case, the duration of work will be extremely short

Criterion #3 - volume and type of dust collector

When deciding on the type of dust collector, don’t hesitate to choose cyclonic filtration. Unlike a textile or paper bag, a plastic container is much easier to care for.

Besides cyclone filter Complete with an exhaust air filter, it collects more than 99% of microparticles that are in the air. This makes it an ideal choice for allergy sufferers.

Criterion #4 - features of the factory equipment

The last criterion that deserves your attention is the equipment. Everything is simple here: the more attachments, the better.

Often, such popular and respected manufacturers as Bosch, Samsung or Philips make sure that the owner does not think about purchasing additional brushes after purchasing the device.

In addition to manual models, Bosch's product range also includes other types of vacuum cleaners: with a dust container and with a bag, corded and cordless. To view the ratings of the best vacuum cleaners of the brand, please follow the following links:
