Bosch construction vacuum cleaners: features, types and tips for choosing

Any self-respecting master will not leave his object covered with garbage after construction work. In addition to heavy construction waste, there is often a large amount of fine dust, dirt and other waste from the construction process. A construction vacuum cleaner will help you quickly and effectively deal with such a problem. In addition, such a unit will be useful in everyday life, especially for owners of private houses.

It would seem that a construction vacuum cleaner differs from a household vacuum cleaner in size and power, but a household one is simply not designed for such loads, and such a unit will not live on a construction site for a long time. The principle of its operation is, perhaps, exactly the same. Vacuum cleaners can be roughly divided into two types, and they differ in the presence or absence of a garbage bag. Typically, a bagless system gives off the ability to collect liquids and wet mopping. Accordingly, the bag system is deprived of this possibility. Bosch offers combined solutions with two dust collectors.

It should be noted that the simpler the filtering and garbage collection system, the more reliable it is. Often, a standard sack is more than enough on a construction site. Despite the fact that quite large bags are installed in an industrial vacuum cleaner, which allow you to completely clean one object, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the unit after each use.

In addition to the final cleaning after the end of the work, the unit can be used in the construction process. Many tools, including those from Bosch, have special attachments for the vacuum cleaner hose. It will be advisable to fix it at the base of a rotary hammer or circular saw to collect dust during operation. Carpentry workers often use this solution when grinding or milling parts that generate a high percentage of fine dust in the room. Once you've figured out what you need a vacuum cleaner for, you can consider options.

Bosch offers several options for construction vacuum cleaners.

This model is designed for both dry and wet cleaning of premises, and also has a special mode for working in tandem with a power tool and includes a blowing mode. For the convenience of using the vacuum cleaner in this mode, it has a socket built into the body. In addition, the automatic cleaning function of the filtration system will facilitate the use of the device.

The vacuum cleaner is very roomy and has a total container volume of 15 liters (the number "15" from the name just means its capacity). Of these, the volume of water that can fit into the vacuum cleaner will be 8 liters. The waste bag also has a capacity of 8 liters. The vacuum cleaner filter is protected by a special bag that will facilitate the cleaning process and allow the filter to last much longer.

Specifications:

• weight - 6 kg;
• power - 1100 w;
• dimensions - 360x440;
• volume - 15 liters.

It is a versatile room cleaner that can also be used for dry and wet cleaning. Like the previous model, in addition to the mode of a regular vacuum cleaner, it has a mode of operation in tandem with a power tool, a built-in socket is also present. This vacuum cleaner differs from the previously described model primarily in volume and power.In addition, the ergonomics makes it more convenient to use. A bag paired with a tank acts as a dust collector. The tank has a special hole for draining excess water. Semi-automatic filter cleaning is not provided.

Specifications:

• weight - 7.6 kg;
• power - 1200 w;
• dimensions - 360x365x499 mm;
• volume - 20 liters.

The vacuum cleaner also has a 3-year manufacturer's warranty for registration of the serial number.

This industrial vacuum cleaner model is a great choice for builders. Differs in a durable body. It has a regular vacuum cleaner mode, a blowing mode and a mode of operation in tandem with a power tool, and also has an additional built-in socket in the case. It implies the presence of a semi-automatic filter cleaning system. Suitable for both wet and dry cleaning. A bag paired with a container acts as a dust collector.

Specifications:

• weight - 6.4 kg;
• power - 1200 w;
• dimensions - 360x365x499 mm;
• volume - 20 liters.

The purchase also includes a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

The favorite can be called the Bosch GAS 25 vacuum cleaner. Its difference and main advantage is the volume, which is 25 liters. The device, like the previous ones, implies a normal mode and a mode of operation with a power tool with a built-in socket on the body. Has an automatic cleaning system. A bag paired with a tank acts as a dust collector in the model. Accordingly, only a bag is used for cleaning dry waste, and only a tank is used for cleaning liquids. The vacuum cleaner has a remote control of the activation system. Protection against overloads during the start-up of the device is also provided.

General characteristics:

• weight - 10 kg;
• power - 1200 w;
• dimensions - 376x440x482 mm;
• volume - 25 l;

All of the above models of cleaning devices have a special system to protect the engine from moisture and automatically shut off at the maximum amount of liquid. Also, each of the devices is equipped with wheels and special handles for transportation. The ergonomics are well thought out and provides for the possibility of storing additional equipment directly on the device body. Vacuum cleaners provide replaceable dust collectors. Although paper bags are disposable, they can be reused. The advantage of this system is that it can be matched with bags from other manufacturers. It is recommended to choose a dust container with a plastic mount.

In addition to automatic cleaning of filters, they can be washed, dried or completely replaced when worn out without any problems. If the suction power drops, it means that the filter is clogged and should be cleaned thoroughly. It is recommended to do a test cleaning at least once a month with regular use.

If we compare the characteristics of a household vacuum cleaner and an industrial vacuum cleaner for professional use, then the choice is obvious. In everyday life, a professional vacuum cleaner will have a big advantage. There is an opportunity to make better cleaning of the premises. The suction power will allow you to make high-quality wet cleaning of furniture or carpets.

In addition to the standard mains powered models, Bosch offers wireless solutions. The main advantage of cordless vacuum cleaners is the portability of the device. Fast cleaning will also be an important plus. There are no bags in such vacuum cleaners.

Taking the GAS 18V-1 Professional cordless vacuum cleaner as an example, we can say that it is not suitable for cleaning construction sites. There is no liquid suction function, and the relatively small volume of the container (only 700 ml) does not give it such opportunities. Nevertheless, the vacuum cleaner is capable of maintaining impressive suction power and power. Thus, it is perfect for household use, convenient for cleaning your home or car.

When choosing, you need to make sure that the purchase of consumable components, such as bags, filters, as well as all kinds of hoses, nozzles and nozzles, is available. Having decided on the type of work to be carried out, the consultants in the store will be able to help you choose an apparatus for your purposes. An important criterion when choosing a model of a vacuum cleaner will also be its price.

Summing up, we can say that it is not worth saving on such equipment. The cleanliness of the workspace is sometimes put in the first place, and a vacuum cleaner is not bought every day.
