I'm an electrician and been using this for a couple of months now, I was surprised how powerful it is, it's just right for me to clear up after fitting lights sockets etc. And it's small enough to be easily carried around. I've got the big Bosch class M dust ectractor and all the accessories fit the 18v one. All my tools are Bosch so I already have the 18v platform. Wouldn't be without it now.
Same here. I bought a GDE 16 Plus dust extractor for my GBH 18V-20 rotary hammer along with the vac and I was over the moon about how well they worked together. I put up some shelves in my home with it last week-end, and there was zero dust to vacuum after drilling the holes (LECA walls). As soon as I was finished, I just knew the money was well spent. I guess my PAS 18 Li will only be used for bread crumbs from now on. :)
Great review. I ordered this yesterday, I'm an electrician, so it's ideal for clearing up after fitting lights and sockets. All my cordless tools are Bosch, so I have plenty of batteries already.
Ah thanks just got mine and didn't notice the strap yet... Dust tip: have a water sprayer handy and spray the dust before you empty it I've not tried it but also as it's wet and dry maybe even suck a bit of water up maybe and possibly mix it in if it doesn't penetrate the dust.... I'll look into anti static coating as well thanks for that!
I've had this couple years now it's decent the on off button will snap if you're not careful I had to put some screws through the top to fix and the filter needs to be kept clean or it will stop sucking. I was actually watching this video to see how to wash the filter properly so I don't need to buy another that said this is 1st time filter has give up on me. Good bit of kit careful with the button.
All shop Vac getting dust outside. You can spray Static Control that could help. The Only thing what I would like to see is a small wheels under the vac. That would help if you vacuum the floors.
Just bought the GAS18V-3N last November. It is damn powerful for a battery powered shopvac. A little bigger than the comparable Milwaukee cordless vacuum. But, I like this more than the Milwaukee (which doesn't happen often). The built in diffuser is a really nice feature. It doesn't blow your eardrums while running. Be warned though. If you are looking to use this for more than just quick tasks, make sure you have a few 6.0ah batteries. You get roughly 4min of run time for every ah of battery capacity. Great tool and probably the best one I've bought over the last few years.
Looking to purchase a cordless vacuum for mainly a home use, to clean my car in particular, can't decide between Bosch and Milwaukee, as I have both platforms, which would you personally recommend? Thanks.
@@stanislavvovk6674 Definitely the Bosch. Its got at least the same amount of suction, better attachment management, and a built in diffuser for noise deadening. The milwaukee vacuum isn't really that bad but it will blow your eardrums after awhile and the attachment management is not the greatest.
Hallo Andreas, thanks a lot for this video, excellent review from Bosch Shop Vac. By the way, it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos on Sunday mornings. Schönen Tag!
Very practical and handy, also useful to discharge the batteries before re-charging them, in case they have been stuck for a while '(now with the lithium there is no need anymore but you never know) for the electrostatic charges: I saw metal pipes attracting dust ... so there is not much to do Hi Andreas.
Nice review, things I’ve learned. You don’t need the filter when using it on wet mode. (You mentioned letting the filter dry) As for anti-static, wipe the unit down with tumble dryer sheets. These will break the static and prevent dust from being attracted to your unit.
Great review. just wondering if you have used it to vacuum fine dust such as plaster dust? If so, did it circulate and dust through the filter/ motor/ exhaust. How well does it perform with wet vacuuming? I assume the filter is washable given it is a wet/ dry vacuum cleaner
I have. The filter holds back even fine dust but it clogs up, of course. It’s also good with water but I would clean everything thoroughly before using it with water. Otherwise you’d have a fine mess inside with water and dust combining into a thick paste. The filter is washable, yes.
No. It’s battery-powered so there’s no electrical connection between the tool and the vac. For this to work, the tool would have to send a wireless signal to the vac.
On amazon. It’s not from Bosch, just a regular brush for any vacuum cleaner. Just measure the diameter of the end piece of the hose and search for a brush that fits those dimensions.
Wondering if the connector will fit most of Bosch tools. I have several 12 and 18 volt tools or do I have to buy extra connectors for that you think? 1,6 m hose? Have you tried it with a circular saw. Wondering if the hose length will be too short? Everything else you explained perfect :-)
I don’t have that many Bosch tools with a dust connector. It fits the GKT plunge/track saw. But it doesn’t fit the GKS 18V-57 cordless circular saw (whatever they thought making two circular saws with different dimensioned dust connectors). The outer diameter of the connector *on the vac* is 47 mm at the very tip. For a circular saw, the hose would be a little short in most circumstances, I think. Hope this helps.
@@holzhandwerk_ak I have bought one of these GAS -18v-10 recently based on the above information and it does not fit the Bosch Track Saw GKT Plunge/Track saw, it might fit the first 10mm of the extractor port but it falls out shortly after use. So I am writing in case someone else buys it thinking it will fit the Plunge saw used on your channel, I am consulting Bosch for extra connectors required.
@@gsadlerdavid Thanks for your feedback, this piece might help: www.boschtools.com/us/en/boschtools-ocs/saw-dust-attachments-vx120-56405-p/ - I also found that the rigid and curved standard connector is not ideal.
Hi Andreas, thanks vor the promotion :-) But i want to know, how long can you use the machine with one battery? The weight of the machine seems useful for sucking spiderwebs in the cellar or other corners. My better half :-) would use it for that. Cheerio from someone, who also dicusses with dustsuckers.
It’s not a promotion - I paid for it myself ;-) I don't know about the battery. With a 3 Ah battery I would say about 20 min of constant use but it depends on how much material you suck up. It would certainly make sense to use a 5 Ah Battery at least, Bosch also has new 7 Ah batteries - that would be ideal.
@@holzhandwerk_ak Thanks! I am in the UK and it appears we have 2 version of this, standard 10L and 10L Premium. The Premium version comes with castors, carry strap and a better floor attachment. I have just ordered one :-)
Sure. The only thing is that the hose of the vacuum I s not very long so you might want to get a longer hose. And you have to make sure that the outlet of your track saw fits the hose. Otherwise I see no problem.
Hi im in Australia and I own a Bosch 5 ah battery and was in the market for a portable vacuum. I was looking at lots of different ones and saw this one and was wondering, would this be suitable to clean my car and also pet hair? Does it have enough suction power and would it last long enough? The model we got in Australia is BOSCH 18V 10L WET & DRY VACUUM SKIN GAS 18V-10 L, so I think its the same as this one right? If you could let me know it would be much appreciated, thanks.
@@holzhandwerk_ak ok, thanks and just wondering have you ever used any other cordless vacuums to compare the suction of this one to them? We have a lot of carpet and and the car is all carpet so wondering how it does on carpet, because all the hairs stick to the carpet a bit.
`just got 1 too, not tried it as yet but the battery bay does take an 8amp core pro battery, not sure if it can take any larger whats the largets battery it can take

I don’t believe you, no way do you clean up after your self! Your a sparky 😂😂

@@leahryan1983 lol
Superb advice... I was unsure but you just made my mind up.. now I'm ordering one. Thankyou
I never thought about a cordless vac for my workshop. It certainly looks like one would be very handy.
I hadn’t thought of it before, either. But since I have it I keep finding good uses for it.

You can use the festool brush, that is compatible with bosch.

A shoulder strap from a computer bag made mine even more handy. Now it goes up on ladders with me for soffit jobs.

Hi Andreas.
Thanks for your feedback, Zola!
I agreed on the dust attraction Perhaps a wipe down with sOme armour all would decrease the static loading.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a very handy item for installers in doors where dust an be an issue. It must be spring, you’re in just a t-Shirt.
Thanks Richard. Yes, over here spring has arrived - with summerly temperatures. Today it was 30°C
Andreas Kalt , here in Minnesota is was only18° C, warmest day of the year so far
cleverse teil. isch schaue deine videos gerne. immer toller inhalt und gute ideen. danke andreas🍀
Danke Lukas!
Does it have also blower? Which bosch vaccum has bcomes blower with?😮
Really wanted to know how loud this vacuum is
It’s pretty loud and has a fairly high-pitched noise. It’s unpleasant without hearing protection.
Hallo Andreas
Vielen Dank für die Vorstellung. L. G. Martin 👍 👍
Gerne. Danke fürs Anschauen!
very good prasentation of a really good productwell done ;-)
Tolle Maschine und eine super Vorstellung von dir.👌👍
Danke!
Nice
Can you use this with dewalt and festool power tools?
Yes, but the batteries are not compatible.

As for anti-static, wipe the unit down with tumble dryer sheets. These will break the static and prevent dust from being attracted to your unit.
Thanks. The manual says it’s important to use the filter with wet mode. Haven’t tried it without it therefore.
Great review. just wondering if you have used it to vacuum fine dust such as plaster dust? If so, did it circulate and dust through the filter/ motor/ exhaust. How well does it perform with wet vacuuming? I assume the filter is washable given it is a wet/ dry vacuum cleaner

Do u think this vacuum cleaner is suitable for home use as well? cleaning hair, fur, etc ?
I would say so. Yes. It doesn’t have a hab, though. Keep that in mind.
LOL. I think that’s a typo and should read “bag”.
Good stuff.Nice video.Regards.
Thanks
Liked, subscribed and purchased. Fantastic English by the way :) Haven't heard the word 'gripe' in quite some time ;)
Thank you Chris.
no blower?
no
Does it turn on automatically if hooked up to a power tool?
No. It’s battery-powered so there’s no electrical connection between the tool and the vac. For this to work, the tool would have to send a wireless signal to the vac.
I see that you can attach wheels or use a shoulder strap.
Yes, that has been added since. When I bought it, it wasn’t available yet.
Thank you
You’re welcome. Glad you like it.
thank you. Did you try it with dust extraction with power tools?
Yes, works well.
Did the bungee cord that you're holding your cords together come with it?
Yes, that’s included.
Is it strong enough for mud and sand in the car carpets?
To a certain degree, yes. You might look out for Bosch’s new ProCore batteries. They are stronger and therefore make the vacuum more powerful.
Where did u purchase the brush/adapter? Thanks for the vid!
On amazon. It’s not from Bosch, just a regular brush for any vacuum cleaner. Just measure the diameter of the end piece of the hose and search for a brush that fits those dimensions.
Schönes Video! 👍😀

The Battery gets very hot inside enclosure they probably should have thought of some venting.....
Haven’t had any problem with this, so far.
someday you will build a cone-cyclone for this shop vac... with no power cord, can be prety compact build bucket+cone+shopVac
Nice idea ;-)
works great with a mini seperator
How much autonomy can a fully charged battery give you, let's say 5.0Ah or an 8.0Ah battery?
I’ve never tried this, I usually use the vac only for short periods with pauses in between.
Hi Andreas, thanks vor the promotion :-) But i want to know, how long can you use the machine with one battery?

Does this come with castors please? It doesn't seem to be listed but I have seen them in photos advertising this model.
The current edition comes with casters, as far as I know.

whats the run time ????
Sorry, I have no idea since I don’t use the vac continuously for hours on end. Depends on the size of your battery as well, of course.
Will it fit the 8.0ah procore battery?
Yes

Wish they would have maid it mains too, then that would have been pucker
Bosch should have designed it as a backpack and floor standing.

The ones that are selling now come with a strap

It's hard to get across via video. It is pretty loud for my taste and has quite a high pitched tone.
Warum nicht in deutsch?

Hint of an Irish accent there?
Well spotted - back in 1999 I spent one year in Galway
Spare parts for this are a NIGHTMARE - 30 months and still waiting - best avoid
It looks very stout and solid - a bit like Angela Merkel!
Maybe they are related? ;-)
`just got 1 too, not tried it as yet but the battery bay does take an 8amp core pro battery, not sure if it can take any larger whats the largets battery it can take
The max battery I have is 8 amp - that just about fits in. I don’t think that a larger one would fit.
Would this vac be a suitable replacement for my Henry for sucking up Brick dust & rubble?
I have no idea what a "Henry" is, but it works for brick dust and small rubble.
