    Heard people not rating cordless vacuums as supposedly they have to be limited (rightly or wrongly?). Certainly my Dyson v11 never cleans the car in one go. As I already own 2 18v Bosch batteries this seemed worth the gamble, and I was right.
    Very impressed.
    Yes, if car particularly dirty I need the 2nd battery, but overall a great powerful vacuum

    I bought this on the strength of the description which said it could be used in different positions. It can’t, as there is no bench clamp (I should have read the reviews more carefully), hence the 4-star rating-Amazon please copy. It does the job, but I’ll need to devise a way to secure it to my bench. As I shall be using it for light sanding and shaping, some velcro pads should be enough, as it’s satisfyingly heavy.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersDid the job I had . Sanding dirt and old varnish off floorboards that were sanded and stained over 15 years ago.
    Great at collecting dust but needs emptying every 5min and eventually the dust collection seems to fail but then you need to clear the dust collection area.
    Hint. There are 24grit belts available online tho 40 and above is more commo

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for sanding floorboards

    Use this mainly on stairs and for cleaning out car. 18v power for all system gives plenty of use from a full battery.
    Compared to using mains vacuum it’s a doddle. Lightweight and powerful.

    It’s ideal for a quick fix to get the crumbs up. Overall, it’s not going to do a great job of vacuuming your car. I’m happy with it to a degree but I think it’s over priced. The filter gets clogged quickly and this affects suction. There are probably better hand held portable vacuums out there that do just as good a job for a lot less money

    I sanded an entire oak floor with this in one afternoon and it did an awesome job! Its powerful and works flawlessly ! Highly recommended.

    Saw some reviews saying didnt have much suck. Plenty to clean the usual dirt out of my cars footwell. Really good buy if you have a bosch cordless drill allready with compatable batteries.

    Used primarily as a car vac. Needs to be used with 2.5Ah batteries (else run time is too short). Works well. Would have got a 5* rating if it was supplied witha flexible hose too.

    Purchased as I needed to do some heavy sanding work.
    The built quality is great and belt’s last well but my biggest concern was the lack of a safety catch to avoid accidental operation whilst making adjustments to the belt.
    I lost the top of my index fingerprint using this sander. It could have been significantly worse if I had not let go of the sander as it dragged my finger in to belt assembly.
    The accident happened as the belt has slide on the runners and was being chewed up. Turning the belt sander over on the side is tension release which is used to solve this problem. I held the sander with one hand whilst I rested the sander on the floor as I adjusted the belt. The sander slide on the floor and my hand holding the sander push the power button trigger dragging my index finger in to the belt mechanism.

    I appreciate the accident was my fault and I should have isolated power before attempting to adjust the belt but when you are busy trying to finish what you are doing we can all cut corners and the addition of a safety switch mechanism would have saved my finger.

    If you do buy this sander please unplug during servicing/belt adjusting.
    Bosch if you are reading this please take note. For such a powerful tool the inclusion of an in-expensive isolation switch would avoid accidents.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersOur Dyson hand held non-replaceable battery no longer holds its charge. This cost a fraction, uses batteries from my Bosch drill and hedgecutter. Full charge runs for much longer than the Dyson and it sucks up stuff even better!

    Bosch quality, looks and feels good. As powerful as can be expected from a cordless vacuum. A fair selection of attachments included.

    Best thing I have bought all year.
    Light weight and easy to use for hardwood floors.
    It does not replace my upright vaccum as its performace is not effective enough for carpeted areas, but a wonderful little compliment to it for non-carpeted areas.
    Great for a quick whip around.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this as I already had 2 Bosch re-chargeable batteries from my cordless drill set and it worked a treat. Also handy around the house with the connecting hose pipes. If you don’t have battery you will need to buy one along with a charger. This is going to cost around 80 for both.

    This belt sander works well. and has been great for removing lots of old varnish from a wooden kitchen work surface. The dust collector is however useless. The dust collector cover doesn’t clip on securely and sometimes pops off during use and sprays dust around the room. Also, it sticks out a long way from the side of the sander meaning you can’t sand close to the edge of things in certain directions. Also, I was told it was possible to buy a bench clamp to use this as a fixed sander, but that no longer seems to be available. So that’s also a bit disappointing.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersBrilliant as everything made by Bosch. Swapping batteries is a breeze, suction power is great for a portable tool. Just make sure to brush the filter regularly, it gets blocked quite quickly.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Usersi will keep this item sorry i didnt see the no battery on the side of box

    As a lightweight vacuum cleaner for occasional cleaning it’s really very good. Enough suction for the job, if not as much as a larger unit.
    You wouldn’t use this to clean the whole house, but it’s so quick and easy to use that it is ideal for light cleaning of small areas.
    Dust capacity is sufficient for a few minutes cleaning.
    It’s also ideal for cleaning inside the car, plenty of battery power and no wires getting in the way.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWith each new project, I’ll often treat myself to a new tool if it’ll make the job easier. Having only really used orbital sanders before, this sander was a blessing. It’s not a finishing sander but great at removing material, more so than an orbital sander will. It is reasonably priced and well made so no complaints so far. It has already had it’s fair share of use (sanding oak) but time will tell if it stands up. Happy to recommend it although the dust bag could be slightly better made as it’s not easy to open. Not enough of a problem to really worry about.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersExperience tells me I can rely on Bosch. After watching this product on Amazon over a 2-3 weeks, I got a brilliant deal and an excellent product. It works well and has the power to get the work done swiftly.
    The sander is very easy to set up and use. Its dust collection unit is fantastic – all the fine dust is best cleaned out using a paint brush over the bin outside.
    I’ve started with a 80 grit belt which needs finishing, so followed up with a 120 belt to polish up the result. That said, there are reasonable new belts available on the market to get the best result.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our Usersot sure about some of the reviews which seem to be for a cordless vacuum cleaner… however the sander, although heavy is pretty decent as the others have said. The dust collector is surprisingly effective and the sander itself is very good. only comes with one sanding belt, but you can get a combi bundle of belts for not much money. The weight is probably an advantage if you’re sanding something flat, otherwise it’s a bit of a handful when doing vertical stuff.

    I purchased a number of the BOSCH 18V tools plus a Charger and 4 batteries. I have used all of them and am very pleased with them. The reason for buying 4 batteries was if the work required at least 2 tools or if someone else was helping you.
