Bosch Unlimited Serie 6 BCS612GB ProHome 18 V Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, 2 Batteries 60 minutes runtime – White

Couple months ago I became a single man . So I needed to buy a vacuum cleaner what makes my life easier. After a few days research I got this baby. I have to say it’s brilliant. 2 batteries each of them can last for 7-9 minutes on turbo mode and regular mode 15-17 minutes. What is amazing.
Light and very easy to maneuver with it. Highly recommend it.

Easy to install charger bracket that also stores the vacuum cleaner. No changing the head for different floors.

It is so powerful and with the great idea to have two batteries and a speedy charger you don`t need to wait hours to clean the whole house and whatever you need also.

I was very pleased with the efficiency of my old vacuum cleaner but it was too heavy to carry around and took up too much space in my small terraced house. The Bosch cordless vac is perfect for my needs.

It’s so quiet, I can’t believe how powerful it is, I love it, way better than a dyso

Absolutely love this cordless vac. I’ve been wanting one for a long time as my dyson corded is quite heavy and not so easy to move about. This makes vacuuming so much easier. Perfect for quick daily clean ups, and I’m not having to use my dyson as much which is great. Battery life good. Turbo is needed for carpets but the battery life is still good enough to complete a 4 bed house.

I am very pleased at the lightness of this item. I am getting on in years and was struggling with a vacuum cleaner which wasn’t cordless and extremely heavy to push. Also it seems easy to attach the necessary tools when needed. Delivery was very quick so in all very pleased.

Brilliant, quiet, good suction, turbo for even more suction, lightweight, has all the attachments you’ll need, easy to empty. I would say it makes vacuuming enjoyable but to be honest I don’t think anything would, however this does make it quick and easy which is close enough plus it looks like part of a storm troopers kit from Star Wars, always a good look in my eyes.

Love the fact it is light weight and not tied to a plug socket but I am disappointed about the suction power even when on turbo. The other thing I don’t like is having to empty it so often and clean the filter. I use a tooth brush to clean the filter but it has to be done every time you use it.

Suction power good on both settings.
Having two batteries is a good idea.

A good performance, small dust collection unit, easy to handle, only used once or twice a week.

Best Buy ever ! Easy to use, lightweight and great for using on the stairs. Battery holds its charge and lasts.

Pleasantly surprised by just how much this vacuum can do . Fantastic on stairs very portable and easy to use. Happily recommend i

Lightweight well made and easy to operate. Good battery life. I especially liked the feature where you don’t have to keep your finger on the trigger to operate it. This would be important for someone who is either elderly or has arthritis in the hands.

Easy to empty, lightweight, good battery life and very quiet when cleaning.

Very good only trouble is I have a dog and suction pipe keeps blocking so have keep cleaning the pipe ou

It arrived in a big box with the Bosch Box inside. It was easy to put together and tool all of 15 minutes. No need to consult the manual. I am an 82 year old granny so if I can do it anyone can. I put on the the batteries on charge on my kitchen worktop using the hand held part of the Vacuum only. I didn’t time it. I was binging on a TV box set. When I took a break from TV the battery was charged up so set to trying out my VAC. I have to say normal suction is very good and boost is amazing. Better than my Dyson upright. It glides around and under the furniture with ease and doing the stairs is a blast. My only crib is that only the long flexible attachment fits on to the Vac, the other three do not and are useless!!!!!! I would appreciate if Bosch would send me some that do click on as the flexible one does. If I had known that in the first place I would have purchased a different brand that also caught my attention. Bosch what were you thinking?

Otherwise I love this cordless Vac and to me is an absolute godsend not having to lug a big corded Vac up and down and around my house.

This Bosch vacuum comes with charging wall unit which also allows some of the tools to be stored. Supplied with an extra battery for those major vacuuming jobs. The main floor attachment has motorised brushes so works well on all floor surfaces. There is a boost button to give added suction. Have used this setting most of the time to ensure a good result. Emptying and cleaning the unit is easy.

I really love this BOSCH cordless vacuum! It’s sleek in appearance, completely matches my kitchen. It lays flat to really get under hard to reach spaces, and all the attachments make it easy to into those little nooks and crannies! The battery life is exceptional and an option for turbo boost to enhance suction is a real plus. A tiny bit fiddly to empty the canister. Also, I took off one star because as you can see there’s no room for all the attachments on the wall base 🙁 I would have liked all the attachments to be able to be stored right with the vacuum. All in all I highly recommend and don’t know how I ever managed without it! Great value for money!

This nice looking cordless vacuum has a lot of good points and one or two bad ones.

The Good:
Being lightweight it is a joy to use, especially on hard floors and normal carpets
The Bad:
On long pile carpets it becomes more ‘heavy’ to use

The Good:
It comes with two batteries
The Bad:
But to charge them they need to be in the machine and not in a separate charger – strange that

The Good:
Nice balance when holding and using the full length pipe
The Bad:
When using the unit without the long pipe, such as on the stairs, after a shot time it becomes a strain to hold and becomes uncomfortable in the hand

The Good:
Small dust holder that is easy to empty
The Bad:
Small dust holder – doing a relatively clean room still needs the dust holder to be emptied at least twice

OK that’s all the bad and some good, now just the good.

The actual design is lovely. It does a really good job and is simple to use. The suction is powerful enough to surprise anyone who has never used one of these cordless ones before – I was very pleasantly surprised. Having another Bosch 18v unit (garden strimmer) makes it even more useful.

The motor is fairly quiet and does not irritate like some vacuums. We have tried a couple of these cordless vacuums and this is pretty good, although not as good or well designed (IMO) as say the Dyson, but then again the Dyson is more expensive.

In use it does a very good job and the battery life is very good indeed, especially as you get the spare battery – incidentally changing the battery only takes a few seconds and is very straightforward indeed. So value for money is acceptable at 4/5 and suction power is also very good and comes in at 4.5/5.

All in all a worthy vacuum from a trusted manufacturer.

For an expensive cordless vacuum cleaner it has some gaping flaws that don’t warrant it’s high price.

For a start, despite having two battery packs, you actually have to attach them to the cleaner and the docking station in order to charge them! What’s that all about – surely a separate charger could have been supplied to charge the spare battery pack whist the other is in use? Seeing as they big-up the versatility of the battery pack and say that it can be used for many of their other cordless products, it’s ridiculous that if you want to charge the pack for a hedge trimmer or other garden tool, you have to attach it to the vacuum cleaner!!!

If you don’t have space near a plug for the docking station, don’t get this – unless you want to lay the whole thing on the floor which would be counter productive and untidy.

On the plus side, it’s lightweight, although a little top heavy as the motor is practically in your hand but, unfortunately, the switch, which is situated in the handle, isn’t a hold-down type but an on-and-off type so you have to be careful not to keep your finger on it when you’re using it or it will keep turning off. Most of these types of vacuum have a trigger switch to save power but this is an old skool on/off switch and you have to position your fingers awkwardly to avoid touching it whilst in use – another design fault or just something you have to get used to?

As for the suction, it’s good in the power-boost mode but if you use this for too long it will drain the battery in about five minutes. and the brush bar isn’t powered either – it just rotates by suction power and easily stops if you press too hard when you’re cleaning. The tools are good, especially the velvety one for doing upholstery but the crevice tool is a bit counter-productive as it’s too bendy – it would be better with a longer, more solid nozzle on the end of the flexible bit.

Altogether not too satisfied with this product – I expected better but if you haven’t had a re-chargeable cordless before, you’ll probably be happy with it as you won’t know the difference. It looks stylish and it’s a trustworthy brand but too many manufacturers are jumping on the Dyson bandwagon instead of inventing their own products and a lot of the time they don’t come up to scratch.

I last used a non mains vacuum cleaner around 9 years ago. It was supplied in a holiday let property and it was awful. No suction, took ages to charge and ran out of oomph very quickly. I’ve looked at many since, and although tempted by the positives (light weight, ease of use, improved suction) I’ve never been convinced.

So I was pleased to have the chance to try out this Bosch cordless. I tend to have confidence in German developed and produced products. They are noted for their high standards and in this case, it’s backed with a 2 year warranty. It’s not the cheapest available, but ultimately it’s a question of cost v performance. I’m happy to pay a reasonable price for something that does all it claims.

First impressions are excellent. The tubing is light as it’s aluminium and everything feels like it’s good quality. I unpacked all the bits and then followed the largely graphic line drawings to both put the unit to charge and build. There’s a real plus with this cleaner; it’s supplied with two batteries, so there’s a good chance if both are charged that any job undertaken can be completed without having to wait hours for a recharge. And the Bosch system is universal, so if you have other items like drills, screwdrivers etc in the Bosch rechargeable range, the battery pack is compatible. That’s a big bonus.

Charging was fast. I,plugged it in and there’s a clear white flashing light on the unit showing it’s charging. The flashing stops when it’s complete, which took just on 2 hours. There are different power settings and although I didn’t use the power zapping turbo for more than a couple of minutes, the unit performed well over some 20 minutes of use on carpet, solid floor and handheld for ceilings and furniture.

The main fitment for floors works very well on tiled floor and carpet. The head is very manoeuvrable and it’s incredibly light to work with. Because it was so easy, I almost thought it wasn’t really doing the job. I was wrong. It picks up animal hairs, general rubbish etc and even seems to lift the pile a bit on a short pile carpet.

Changing heads is a really simple twist and connect. Even with some grip issues, I found it easy. The brush head on the floor attachment can easily be removed with a simple click. I haven’t had a problem, but if the brush clogs with hair, it’s easy to remove and there’s even a thin slit along the length of the brush which allows a blade to be inserted to cut any collection of tangled hair. First time I’ve seen that feature; Bosch seem to have thought of everything.

The thin crevice tool is brilliant. Mostly, they’re made from rigid plastic. This is constructed from a strong but pliable ridged rubber. It bends, so you can not only get down the back of things, you can then angle it under to really awkward corners. Best I’ve used in some 30 years of different vacuum cleaners. It makes cleaning down the side and under car seats an absolute doddle.

The dust collector isn’t the largest…but if this is used regularly, there’s no need and emptying the device is amazingly dust free. I hate tipping the content into a bin and having to hold my breath to ensure I don’t breathe in clouds of dust. That didn’t happen with this; it’s sort of compressed and clean to dispose of. No need to buy filters or bags, so no additional ongoing expense.

And the greatest delight? It’s almost weightless. Cleaning ceilings and above body height is almost a joy. The handheld unit is so light, there are no trailing leads to manage and it’s really effective. I have limited mobility and this is the lightest and easiest to use cleaner ever. I’ve had Henry’s, Hoovers, Dysons, Vax, Bissell and others over many years. This beats them all and then some. Worth every penny and I’m a cordless convert.
