Verdict

The Bosch BGL8XALL Series 8 is a corded, bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner equipped with a 650-watt German-engineered motor, a large 5.0-litre dust bag capacity, and an exceptionally wide 15-metre operating radius. Key advantages include a washable UltraAllergy hygiene filter that provides high filtration for allergy sufferers, the PowerProtect System to maintain constant suction even as the bag fills, a relatively quiet 69 dB noise level, and a 10-year motor warranty. However, at a net weight of 8.2 kg, it is quite heavy to carry, and it lacks an integrated on-board compartment to store its various accessory brushes internally.
