Alternatives
- Bosch BCS712GB: A sibling in the same range. Bosch’s UK page lists it with two exchangeable battery packs, a 1 hour 39 minute charging time and the same 40-minute maximum runtime [3].
- Other cordless stick vacuums: Compare stated runtime on the setting you would use, charge time, weight and warranty.
Our verdict
Based on the evidence, this suits people who want a lightweight Bosch cordless vacuum with a long motor warranty, and who accept a 5-hour charge. Look elsewhere if you need a second battery included or a quick recharge. This is a research summary, not a test result.
