Verdict

The Bosch Series 8 Relaxx'x Ultimate BGS7RCL is a corded, bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner powered by a 700 W motor that delivers powerful performance across an 11-metre operating radius. Key specifications include a large 3.0-litre dust capacity container, four steering rollers for multidirectional movement, and an integrated electronic rotary power control. The main pros of this model are its exceptionally quiet ProSilence operation at a maximum noise level of 68 dB, its SensorBagless and RotationClean systems that automatically signal and easily clean the HEPA 13 hygiene filter without requiring water washing, and a durable design backed by a 10-year Bosch motor guarantee. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy build, with the cleaner itself weighing 6.7 kg (8.3 kg net weight), and the lack of an included motorized turbo brush, which makes removing deep pet hair and stubborn dirt from carpets more challenging.
