Verdict

The Bosch Professional GAS 18V-10 L is a cordless, L-class certified wet-dry dust extractor operating on an 18V battery system, delivering a maximum airflow rate of 34 l/s and a maximum vacuum pressure of 115 mbar. It features a gross container volume of 10 liters (6 liters net for both dry and water applications), a 2,375 cm² filter surface area, and uses a bagless, rotational airflow technology to prevent filter clogging. Main pros include its highly portable, lightweight design weighing 4.7 kg (excluding battery), persistent suction power, an integrated HEPA filter that captures over 99% of dust, and onboard accessory storage. However, noticeable cons include a relatively high battery consumption rate yielding a runtime of just 4 minutes per Ah, and the fact that its plastic components and pipes are non-anti-static, making them prone to attracting fine dust on job sites.
