What we like about Bosch Professional GAS 35 M AFC

  • Powerful 1380W suction turbine that provides strong negative pressure
  • Effective Automatic Filter Cleaning (AFC) system that prevents loss of performance
  • Certified M-Class safety rating which offers excellent lung protection from harmful dusts
  • Convenient tool-sync socket with automatic start/stop and delayed shutdown for power tools
  • Generous 5-meter anti-static hose and lengthy power cable for a large working radius
  • Integrated L-BOXX mount on top for secure toolbox stacking and easy transportation
  • Robust build quality with non-marking wheels suitable for workshop environments

What we don't like about Bosch Professional GAS 35 M AFC

  • Automatic filter cleaning (AFC) makes a loud, startling tapping noise when active
  • The AFC setting resets to 'on' every time the machine is powered off, which is frustrating when using bags
  • Filter tends to clog quickly when exposed to damp or wet material instead of completely dry dust
  • Hose holder and cable wrapping system could be designed better for easier storage
  • Fine dust and large clumps of thick debris can occasionally cause hose blockages at the bends
  • Expensive ongoing maintenance costs, particularly for replacement filters and official dust bags
  • The machine itself is quite heavy and bulky to maneuver in tight spaces

Verdict

The Bosch Professional GAS 35 M AFC is a corded M-class certified wet and dry dust extractor featuring a powerful 1,380 W suction turbine that delivers 254 mbar of vacuum pressure and an airflow rate of 74 l/s. Main characteristics and pros include a 35-liter gross container capacity (23-liter net dry and 19.2-liter net water volumes), a 6,150 cm² flat-pleated filter, an integrated power tool socket with automatic on/off switching, and Automatic Filter Cleaning (AFC) technology that guarantees sustained, powerful suction. However, notable cons include its heavy 12.4 kg weight, a lack of manual suction power adjustments on the unit, and a loud booming noise generated every 15 seconds by the automatic filter tapping process.
