How powerful is it?
The regular speed setting is powerful enough for functioning most surfaces and could easily pick up both fine dusts and bigger haired dirt particles with just a onceover. We only switched to Turbo mode to vacuum up stubborn dust and cobwebs high up on the walls and ceilings, or deep clean a high-pile rug. What impressed us most was how quiet it is — we could even use it at night!
How versatile is it?
The main unit easily transforms into a handy handheld vacuum for properly cleaning various spots around the home like countertops. We like the long and flexible nozzle that’s ideal for reaching crevices and narrow spaces like in-between the sofa and for easily cleaning the top of the wall and skirting boards with minimal reaching or bending.
Is it easy to use?
The attachments are easy to snap together and slide off, and to start vacuuming there’s an easy trigger button at the handle that you just press once. It is easy to steer around odd corners and under furniture as well. We were especially impressed at how smoothly it glides across carpets and high-pile rugs in one easy stroke, without getting caught in the fibres. The bin container is simple to detach from the main unit, although you have to manually remove the filter before pouring the contents into the bin.
Overall
If you are willing to splurge, the Bosch Unlimited is a high-powered yet surprisingly quiet vacuum cleaner that charges quickly and is a breeze on most surfaces, with a stylish and sleek all-white finish to boot.
