Verdict

The Bosch Professional GAS 25 L SFC is a compact, corded wet-dry vacuum cleaner powered by a 1200-watt turbine that delivers a maximum airflow of 61 l/s and a vacuum pressure of 248 mbar. Certified for EU dust class L safety, it features a 25-liter gross container capacity (net 20-liter dust and 16-liter water volume) alongside a 4300 cm² polyester filter surface. Its main pros include an efficient semi-automatic filter cleaning (SFC) system, an integrated power socket with remote automatic switching for synchronized power tool use, an automated liquid-level shutoff, and a smooth-start overload protection mechanism within a highly mobile 12.7 kg frame. However, its notable cons include a relatively loud operating noise level that can exceed 80 dB(A) under load, reliance on manual button activation for filter cleaning compared to fully automatic alternatives, and a limited 9-liter capacity when using paper dust bags.
