What we like about Bosch AdvancedVac 18V-8

  • Lightweight and highly portable, making it easy to carry on stairs and transport
  • Compact 3-in-1 design that functions well for home, garden, and car cleaning
  • Versatile built-in blower function useful for inflating mattresses or blowing leaves
  • Part of the 18V Power for All Alliance, allowing battery sharing across multiple tool brands
  • Convenient universal adapter for direct connection to power tools for dust extraction
  • Capable of handling both wet and dry messes without needing a constant filter change

What we don't like about Bosch AdvancedVac 18V-8

  • Battery drains quickly, especially during high-power usage or when using lower-capacity packs
  • Suction power can feel mediocre or insufficient for heavy-duty commercial construction jobs
  • Plastic housing and hose are prone to static electricity, causing dust to stick to the outside
  • The provided hose pipes feel relatively low quality or cheap compared to the main unit
  • Operates with a high noise level during full-power operation

Verdict

The Bosch AdvancedVac 18V-8 is a cordless, 3-in-1 wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner weighing 3.8 kg (without battery) and featuring a gross container volume of 8 litres for dry material and 3.8 litres for liquids. Operating on an 18V Power For All alliance battery system, it delivers a maximum airflow rate of 29 l/s and a maximum turbine vacuum of 92 mbar, providing up to 24 minutes of runtime in eco-mode with a 4.0 Ah battery. Main pros include its versatile functionality as a vacuum, integrated inflator/blower pump, and power-tool dust extractor via a universal adapter, alongside a lightweight and highly portable wheeled design with dual power settings. However, notable cons include its mediocre suction power for heavy-duty construction tasks, the lack of an automatic filter-cleaning system requiring manual maintenance, and the fact that the battery and charger are sold separately.
