Summary of the review
The Particulier Reviews: The BOSCH PAS20-220P Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch PAS20-220P

  • Powerful suction for both wet and dry debris
  • Power take-off socket allows connected power tools to automatically control the vacuum
  • Convenient automatic 6-7 second delayed stop after connected tools turn off
  • Excellent for workshop dust extraction and keeping the workspace clean
  • Smooth-rolling 360-degree wheels and good hose length for easy mobility

What we don't like about Bosch PAS20-220P

  • Filters clog relatively quickly when vacuuming large amounts of fine dust (e.g., drywall sanding)
  • Lacks automatic filter cleaning/shaking, requiring manual filter cleaning
  • Suction power can drop noticeably if the filter gets full of fine particles
  • Plastic tube extension mechanism feels unstable to some users

Verdict

The Bosch PAS20-220P is a versatile corded wet-dry vacuum cleaner powered by a 1,200 W motor that generates a strong 220 mbar suction power and a 65 l/s airflow rate. It features a spacious 20-liter stainless steel container, an L-class flat-pleated filter that seamlessly transitions between wet and dry applications without requiring a filter swap, a functional blowing mode, and a power take-off socket with an integrated auto-start mechanism for synchronous dust extraction with power tools. Key benefits include robust workshop debris management, stable maneuverability supported by a protective bumper and tilt-resistant wheels, and direct compatibility via a universal tool adapter; however, it lacks an automatic self-cleaning filter mechanism, meaning the filter can clog relatively quickly during heavy sanding or fine dust operations.
