BoschCordless Hammer Drill EasyImpact 18V-40 (1 battery 2.0 Ah, 18 Volt System, in carrying case)

Ok first is the more than adequate suction you can't compare to a mains vacuum but this is perfectly ok to suck up any bit of mud and debris on the cat mat's etc .The long hose means I can reach both sides of the car from one door.The vac is not heavy and it's got small wheels that allows you to pull it along behind you.It does eat up the battery fairly quickly but it's enough to do a car easily but I have four batteries as I use a lot of bosch 18 volt tools so it's not a problem for me.Lastly it's Bosch so no problem with quality it's well made , I'm very pleased with my buy.I bought the good as new and it's never been used I do this when ever it's available and I've never been disappointed.

Great machine, well built... it is a Bosch!! I have been using this for a week now professionally cleaning cars with no issues, very powerful and quite surprisingly very quiet. Someone complained about the hose in a review, i think its great it not your usual hose its an anti static one which is brilliant it means its much harder for stuff to stick on the inside of it...excellent! Yes the hose can kink a little from time to time because of its hard thick design but well worth the trade off. very sturdy and not prone to falling over is another great point, and the "brakes" on the 2 front castors is a great idea if you are working on an incline!! Just flick a small switch on each front castor and ABS is in full operation!!!! Yes the bags are expensive but bare in mind they are 20 litre bags so you wont be changing them very often...and they are not mad expensive either, the last industrial vacuum i had [a different brand] also had 20 litre bags and they were a little cheaper, but not much!! Your hammer/screwdriver/ cloths sit nicely on the flat top (handy!) and the blower function is a nice touch...also great to know i can whip out the bag and suck up a Lake or two if i feel like it!!! I have say in conclusion at the price point this is a brilliant little workhorse from Bosch, well built and looks great!

Brilliant - suction is superb - using to renovate kitchen and a blessing - attached power tools and no problem reducing the dust and shavings. Only grip is the power cable should be retractable - tangled with hose many times - but i would recommend it for diy jobs - love it. - only get one bag but fairly big volume - picks up any thing that fits the spout, chipping, saw dust, masonry fragments etc

Great product - Much better than another well known manufacturer I had previously.Used both wet and dry Although other people are complaining about the expense and difficulty of getting bags - Don’t worry about it,It works perfectly well with out bags especially if it’s only sawdust or work shop rubbish.Only Downside you definitely need the LARGEST battery you can get,even in Economy mode it eats the power.

Variant: Bosch UniversalVac 15 Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner.This is a monster vacuum cleaner, a delight in use in spite of its slightly old fashioned feature set. Most high powered wet & dry vacuum cleaners I have used have a motor speed control, but this one doesn't so it is at full power or switched off. That surprised me but it isn't a big disadvantage. The first time I used it sucked up the steel bolt mentioned in my review title, which meant I had to switch it off and check that the bolt had not punctured the bag — it hadn't. Hmm, have to watch for things like that in future... I had a few problems in one room with the vacuum lifting the carpet, but I am delighted with how well it deals with sawdust and other debris. It's a really powerful machine.I found the machine overall is excellent, but I was surprised that there is no variable speed and no proper cable management. My old Hoover from 1986 had a place to store the cable, with this machine you just pile it on top. The tool storage is fairly good however, and works well to help you put everything away in one place. No chance of losing bits unless you're really careless.Once I had vacuumed the floor I had to get some scrap wood and try out the feature that allows you to connect the machine to some Bosch power tools. I connected the vacuum cleaner to my jigsaw and made a few cuts, then to the sander and rounded off a few corners. I found that it did a better job connected to the sander than it did when connected to the jigsaw, getting most of the dust while with the jigsaw it missed a lot of it. I have not yet tried it with my router but I expect that will be somewhere in between. My circular saw is not a Bosch but I am assured that there is an adapter that allows this vacuum cleaner to connect to it, so I will be on the lookout for that.So the tool connection feature does not get all the dust, particularly with the jigsaw, but it does get enough to dramatically reduce the time required cleaning up afterwards. Since I do a fair amount of woodwork this is one of the reasons I chose this machine.The bags for the Numatic Charles vacuum cleaner fit this machine so that solves the problem of the overpriced and scarce Bosch bags. The Numatic bags are cheaper and of better quality and I can confirm that they fit.I have used this once to clean up not only inside but outside my front door, where there is a porch with a concrete floor and a concrete yard. The machine sucked up leaves, paper and other debris with no problems and did a better job than a broom would have done. I liked it even more after that.Things I like about this vacuum cleaner:• Suction Power.• Tool storage.• Wet & Dry feature (I hope I never need to use it for wet cleanup but it's nice to have that option)• Connects to some Bosch (and — with adapters — other brand) power tools to clean up as you work.• Ease of use.Things I don't like:• Overpriced & hard to find bags (easily solved by buying bags made for the Numatic Charles vacuum cleaner)• No variable motor speed (come on Bosch, it's 2019!)• No proper cable management (come on Bosch, it's 2019!)Overall I would recommend this both for normal domestic cleanup and for the tool connection feature.

I have had this Bosch vacuum for a week now and can't fault it. The item is very well made from extremely strong plastic The mains cable is the thickest I've seen on a domestic appliance. The vacuum is not too noisy compared to other wet and dry vacuums I've owned. The suction power is fantastic and should be more than adequate for any intended purpose. The 2 features that made me choose this item were the Power Take Off facility and the water drain point. I am getting too old to carry a vacuum full of water around so this drain point whilst very simple and basic is an ideal added bonus. This wet and dry vacuum is is definitely value for money and I am at a loss to understand why some have left negative comments. I have only had the item for a week so can't comment on reliability but given the overall build quality, I don't anticipate any problems.
