What we like about Bosch AdvancedVac 20

  • Powerful motor with excellent general suction
  • Auto on/off power synchronization socket for power tools
  • Integrated blower function works well for leaves and debris
  • Antistatic hose prevents uncomfortable static discharges
  • Large 20-litre tank capacity with a convenient liquid drain valve
  • Universal adapter provides great compatibility with Bosch tools
  • Smooth 360-degree turning wheels make it easy to maneuver

What we don't like about Bosch AdvancedVac 20

  • Filter clogs quickly when vacuuming very fine sanding or drywall dust
  • Lacks an automatic filter cleaning or vibration mechanism
  • Operates with a noticeably high noise level during heavy use
  • Power cable is considered somewhat short by some users
  • The physical body is bulky and relatively heavy to transport
  • Extension tubes feel slightly unstable or clunky to some reviewers

Verdict

The Bosch AdvancedVac 20 is a compact wet and dry vacuum with a 1,200 W motor, 300 AW suction, 260 mbar maximum vacuum, 70 L/s airflow and a 20 L tank. A single cartridge filter for dry and wet pickup, liquid drain, 2.2 m antistatic hose, blower function and automatic-start power-tool socket make it flexible. Fine dust can clog the filter quickly, while the 4 m cable and plastic extension tubes can limit use in larger spaces.
