About this deal

The cordless design and compact sizes make the Athlet extremely versatile and easy to move around, particularly as it weighs in at a featherweight 3.3kg with the floor head attached. Remove the floor head and you can attach a clip-on hose and a selection of tools for reaching more inaccessible places while you carry the main unit on a shoulder strap. The bagless design has a dust bin with a compact 0.9-litre capacity and a warning light to indicate when the washable filter needs a clean.

Bosch Athlet Serie 6 BBH6POWGB ProPower 25.2V Cordless Vacuum

In upright mode with the main floor head it coped admirably well. On full power it cleaned the test carpet area, with its well-rubbed-in pet hair, to pristine clean in around 18 seconds. Used on level 3 (labelled ‘Turbo’) on mixed-pile carpets, the Athlet ran consistently at full power without fading or reducing power for just over 12 minutes. At this time it stopped completely, indicating it needed a recharge. We had to empty the container mid-way and several rooms got vacuumed twice before the machine stopped working. This is a great result, as you can get a lot of cleaning done in 12 minutes. If you’re prepared to do a lighter clean on Level two power, you can nip round all but the largest of houses on a single charge. The right vacuum cleaner makes all the difference if you are sensitive to dust particles floating in the air or have allergies. Opt for the Althlet ProHyienic and enjoy the best of both worlds: a powerful and flexible cordless, bagless vacuum that masterfully filters the exhaust air. By filtering air three times before it enters the ambient air, the Athlet ProHygienic filters 99.9% of particulate matter. Hurray! The Athlet is Bosch’s first serious cordless upright vacuum cleaner, and it promises to replace corded models in all but the largest of homes. Powered by a durable 25v lithium-ion battery, the Athlet delivers high suction power and plenty of run time to whiz around several rooms on a single charge. Those deep, dark corners under the bed? Easily clean all kinds of hard-to-reach places using the extra long hose. Your favourite sofa? Twist on the upholstery nozzle to effectively remove dust and other bits. Even take on your car – thanks to the practical shoulder strap that lets you carry your Athlet.

For the stronger user, the Athlet’s easy-to-handle 3.3kg weight with the main floor head attached actually means you can carry it up the stairs, cleaning each step as you go. Practically, though, the idea with this is that you swap the floor head for the hose, attach the strap, sling the cleaner over your shoulder and use the hose tools provided. That’s not as simple as it sounds, however, as the push-clip to detach the head (and latterly the hose) requires a very firm push whilst trying to pull two sections apart at the same time. First off let's look at the performance of the Athlet. The first thing you notice when you turn on the Athlet is the plethora of lights on the front of the main container. These act as battery and dust bin indicators. The Athlet is extremely powerful for a cordless. It has 3 power settings, the first doesn't use the powered brush bar and is intended for hard floors. All of the power settings are more powerful than we expected. Bosch make a big deal about the battery life. Slim and manoeuvrable, the Athlet has superb power and, combined with the innovative SmartSensor technology, achieves the same cleaning result as a corded vacuum cleaner.*

Bosch Athlet Cordless Vacuum Review - which vac? Bosch Athlet Cordless Vacuum Review - which vac?

The Bosch Athlet vacuum boasts a motorised AllFloor HighPower Brush that works at approximately 5000 revolutions per minute to ensure maximum cleaning results across all floor types. It's a bag-less model too which means there's no hidden follow up costs having to buy dustbags - simply empty the container and wash the filer on a regular basis to ensure optimum performance. The built-in Lithium-Ion battery provides up to 60 minutes of run time from a single charge, giving you plenty of time to thoroughly clean the whole house. Cordless, powerful, lightweight and agile, Athlet cordless vacuums combine maximum performance and convenience on carpet, wood, laminate or any floor type. As mentioned, you get a shoulder strap for carrying the cleaner around, with the end of the hose and the upholstery and crevice nozzles within easy reach. This portable nature means the hose is very short, but with the superlight weight and no mains cable to trip over, the Athlet is excellent at reaching places other cleaners struggle to reach.
