Bosch Athlet Serie 6 BBH6POWGB ProPower 25.2V Cordless Vacuum
The Athlet had rather mixed performance with pet hair from our willing assistants, Poppy (Labrador) and Willow (Collie). From types of vacuum, to models for special cleaning needs, to the machine's runtime: find out the what counts when selecting a cordless vacuum cleaner. See moreCharging itself takes around three hours from flat, and the charger draws less than 16W during this time – we measured 0.056kWh/charge. The charger automatically shuts down when the cleaner is fully juiced up, meaning it can be left plugged in and switched on without wasting electricity between uses. On full power the Athlet performed admirably in open areas of carpet, comparing very well with lower-powered corded models. Its light weight and manoeuvrability encourage you to repeat any areas that weren’t cleaned on the first sweep, while its cordless power is a blessing for anyone who’s ever become entangled in a vacuum cleaner cable. Need to book a repair? Not a problem. We can arrange for an engineer to repair your appliance, both in and out of warranty. However, the ability to use full power even on hard floors when in this mode meant collecting loose pet hair and cleaning hard floors was relatively easy. Should I buy the Bosch Athlet BCH625KTGB?

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.* 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. Turn the chore of cleaning into a pleasure with the Bosch Athlet cordless vacuum cleaner. This incredibly lightweight and slim model offers excellent handling and versatility, allowing you to take the Athlet upstairs and downstairs with ease. It even cleans when laid flat to reach hidden corners under sofas, cupboards and cabinets. And, because it's cordless, there's no cable to hinder you. 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.The quintessential self-standing vacuum, the Athlet standard model reliable and powerfully cleans all your floors – no matter the type. Bonus: Slide the easy-to-handle vacuum underneath your furniture with ease. 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. Simply tying the strap on was fine for our test, and the Bosch worked as described – assuming you’re comfortable with having a machine over your shoulder. The main hose tool was OK for stair cleaning, although, as ever, tools without a rotating brush are always going to have limited efficiency on carpeted stairs. Care must also be taken when putting the vacuum cleaner down in this mode, as there’s no obvious way to place it on the floor. It would be easy to put it down ‘end-first’, crushing the hose. 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. 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.

The Athlet was fairly quiet in use, too. When vacuuming carpet in a fully carpeted bedroom, it measured just 75dB at ear height above the cleaner, or about the same as most people have their kitchen radios or TVs. That’s quieter than the majority of traditional mains-powered vacuums we’ve tested, apart from the models that are designed to be ultra-quiet.

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. 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. If you’ve ever tried an old-style cordless vacuum cleaner, prepare for a surprise with the Athlet. Even from the sound of the motor on full power, you can tell this is a cleaner that means business, and the suction power through the floor head is enough to generate quite a bit of ground suction. This means a firm hand is required to push and pull the cleaner around on full power.
