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

Product Information

For et par år siden købte jeg min første ledningsfrie støvsuger. Siden har jeg ikke kunnet undvære den. Jeg har selvfølgelig været på udkig efter andre modeller end min tidligere “billige” model – og nu har jeg været så heldig at få fingrene i topmodellen fra Bosch nemlig “Bosch Unlimited Serie 8”. Den kan købes som en kombopakken med ekstra batteri, hurtigt oplader, og væghægt holder/lader med mulighed for at hænge mundstykkerne direkte på. Det er den udgave jeg har testet – men den kan også fåes i en “almindelig” udgave. 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.

On top of the body is the Turbo switch. That might not be as corny as Tesla’s ‘Insane’ power mode, but it seriously ramps up the BCS122GB’s suction. Runtime takes a nosedive accordingly. While we have no complaints with the power or runtime in Turbo mode, standard mode simply sacrifices too much suction for those long, long runtimes. Given you get two swap-out batteries and a fast charger, it isn’t even necessary. The Bosch comprehensively outruns fixed-battery competitors like Dyson anyway. Bruger du den til at støvsuge persienner (med det medfølgende mundstykke – uden rør), så vil du nok synes den bliver lidt tung i længden.Batteritiden er god. Ved almindelige sugestyrke får du noget i nærheden af 40 minutter ud af den. Det må siges at være godkendt. Har du virkelige meget skidt, så er der nok behov for at sætte den i turbomode, og så ender du nede på 8-9 minutter, hvilket ikke rigtig holder til almindelig støvsugning. As it is, the normal mode provides ineffectively low suction power. It’s of very little use in typical day-to-day household cleaning and I guarantee most users will simply default to the Turbo setting all the time. At which point, nine minutes is not much at all for general floor vacuuming duties. Good job Bosch supplies two batteries. 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. Sustained performance: The intelligent control electronics in the Unlimited vacuum cleaner also ensure maximum performance and battery efficiency The bin itself takes a little getting used to as it releases from the cleaner by tipping forward and away. Emptying is as simple as pulling out the filter unit and tipping out the contents.

Close-to-edge cleaning was very impressive, and even close up, the Turbo mode delivered a decent clean in just this single run. It took a couple of passes to get rid of all the heavier carpet powder particles, but the good suction did well in one pass. The main difference between the BBS1U224 and BSS81POW1 of the Bosch Unlimited Series 8 is the delivery scope, apart from the price. There are no unnecessary additions, buttons or edges. The device’s design contains everything it needs for its actual task - no more, no less. That is a trait we are much more used to seeing with air-powered ‘turbo’ brushes and it can make cleaning rather frustrating. The floorhead’s cleaning power is great, but the brush bar slowed or stopped far too often on carpet for our liking. Switching to normal power mode stops that happening – but the clean is then fairly poor.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.

There’s a small LED light on the top that lights up when charging or when vacuuming. Then you can see what the battery status is. 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.

A decent enough cordless vacuum cleaner but rivals offer more for the same price

The Turbo mode is a very, very different story, albeit one you must manually engage every time you switch on. Punch that button on top and the BCS122GB does a Tesla and goes ‘Insane’. Suction and airflow are multiples of the normal power mode, delivering great cleaning ability. Jekyll and Hyde? You bet. Unfortunately, we experienced that the emptying function of the Bosch Unlimited from the new Series 8 leaves a lot to be desired. This combination allows Bosch to claim ‘unlimited’ runtime for this cleaner. On standard power setting, it will go for an hour, and the charger can power up a battery in 55minutes. With the two batteries, theoretically, you simply won’t run out of power. 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.

De kleine 3000 mAh-batterijen gaan ook een behoorlijke hoeveelheid tijd mee - ongeveer 11 minuten per lading op maximaal vermogen en bijna een uur op laag vermogen. Ze laden ook snel op, in ongeveer een uur, en als bonus zijn ze ook compatibel met Bosch Unlimited-assortiment van accu-aangedreven huishoudelijke apparaten en gereedschap. 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. 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.Als je van plan bent om een draadloze steelstofzuiger te kopen, dan kan je natuurlijk een Dyson kopen. Maar na Dyson zijn de draadloze stofzuigers van het merk Bosch het meest verkocht. Het assortiment van Bosch bestaat op bol.com bijvoorbeeld uit 51 modellen en op coolblue.nl bijvoorbeeld uit 16 modellen. Bosch-stofzuigers zijn een populaire keuze, vooral als u een draadloze stofzuiger wilt kopen. De topmodellen steelstofzuigers van Bosch zijn de Unlimited Serie 8 modellen. Is een Bosch draadloze stofzuiger net zo goed als bijvoorbeeld een Dyson V8, V10 of V11. Als je de verschillen tussen die laatste 3 wilt weten, lees dan hier ons artikel over het verschil tussen de Dyson V8, V10 en V11. 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.
