Verdict

The Bosch PAS 15-200 is a compact 6.2 kg wet and dry vacuum with a 1,000 W motor, 200 mbar suction and 97 m³/h airflow. It has a 15 L gross tank with 5 L liquid capacity, on-board accessory storage, blower function, a single cartridge filter for dry and wet pickup, and braked castors for portability. The plastic extension tubes are less robust than metal alternatives, and there is no integrated automatic-start power-tool socket.
