- House chores can be quite intimidating and tiring. Keeping your house dust free is one of the basic house maintenance tasks of any home. While the standard cabled, plug and pull vacuum cleaners remains more powerful and friendlier on our pockets, cordless vacuum cleaners are getting more popular thanks to the ergonomic designs and innovation in suction power.
Today we look at the Bosch 18V Unlimited Series 6 cordless handstick vacuum BCS61 which is both a red dot design as well as an iF design award winner in 2020. As my old Hoover handstick vacuum with a non-removable battery broke down, I was looking for a new replacement.
Deciding between a Dyson and the Bosch, we agreed to go with its less intrusive colour scheme which is a mix of glossy classic white and matted black design with a tint of red.
The good thing about handstick vacuum cleaners is the mobility. Whether you need it for a quick clean up in the house or in your car, you don't have to worry about fussy wires and power sockets as it is run by a removable 18v 2.5Ah battery which also works for many other Bosch home tools.
The device has a runtime of 30mins on normal mode and if you need a longer runtime, you are able to buy an additional battery and charger set. On this model I had an offer of either a second battery or a 50EUR discount. I took the discount as I am able to find a local retailer selling the battery and charger set for lesser than 50EUR.
The floor nozzle is indeed easy to maintain with its screwless, removable power brush. The other included accessories such as the 2 in 1 furniture brush with upholstery nozzle and the crevice nozzle can be improved in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, they are very creative and innovative. They are possibly useful in certain situation, for eg. the flexible crevice nozzle could reach better angles at hard to reach places.
With that being said, I will take some time to adapt to using the new accessories while knowing their limitations. So overall, I would still recommend this Bosch vacuum cleaner for its solid build quality and design.
I hope my video helped in making your purchasing decision. Thanks for watching!

Thank you all for your support for my Bosch 18V Unlimited series 6 Vacuum video.
Here's a quick 2 year after update.
The vacuum is still working with accessories showing the typical wear and tear.
However, the included 2.5Ah battery is dead and I purchased a new BOSCH 5.0Ah battery(BHZUB1850) to replace it.
Double the runtime and fits in the wall dock!
Hope this helps!

Hi bro, do u plan to change the filter?
@@FADLI366 Hello there! My filter is still working fine, I use an air compressor to clean it whenever it's clogged.
I suppose if one prefers to be hygienic, it's probably good to change once in a while. :)
Thanks for watching!
*A great vacuum💯 for the price. The suction is awesome **MyBest.Tools** excellent for pet hair. The beater attachment works great on the stairs. Not too heavy and easily maneuvered.🤨*
Yes I agree with you! Thank you for watching! :)
Could I ask you what pet do you have? I have two bunnies and I was wondering if it will work or not.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately I do not have any pets, but I believe it will do just fine. You might need to clean and maintain the vacuum cleaner more frequently if your pets shed lots of hair on a daily basis.
Hope it helps!
Sincere thanks for showing how the charger fits in the wall Mount , it was driving me crazy trying to understand the manual ….very much appreciated this video 🙏👍
Hello! I'm really glad it helped! Thanks for watching and have a great day ahead! 🙏
This is by far the best and most detailed review on a vacuum cleaner I have ever seen!!!
👏👏👏👏
Thank you for watching! :)
Excellent, well thought out, and detailed review, thank you so much for taking the time to go through all the features!!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you find it useful. Cheers! :)
Dear Dylan,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the very helpful vacuum cleaner review video. Your thorough testing and detailed analysis of the different features and performance of the model really helped me make an informed decision.
I was particularly impressed with the way you explained the pros and cons of the model and provided clear recommendations for different types of users in the video. Your review was very thorough and well-presented, and it was a great resource for me as I was making my decision.
I am extremely grateful for your review and the time and effort you put into it. It was a huge help to me, and I'm sure it has been to many other people as well.
Thank you again for all of your hard work and for sharing your insights with others through the video review.
Sincerely,
Joaquin
Hello Joaquin,
That's the best compliment I ever got and thank you very much for your appreciation for my work and the video. I am truly glad you found the video useful for yourself and in your opinion for everyone else too.
Thank you for watching. Cheers. :)
Dylon
Awesome review and demonstration of the advantages and disadvantages. You covered all the important points that a new owner needs to take into account
Thank you for your compliments and for watching the video. Cheers! :)
Your review is excellent, thank you 👍🏻
Thank you for the compliment! I'm very glad you enjoyed it! :)
Awesome well explained review, thank you for confirming I've made a great choice. The nozzle piece in South Africa is way more sturdier though.
Anyway, loved how you highlight the unit cannot stand on it's own but equally showing us alternatives for storage purposes. Furthermore, quite appreciated your demonstration on cleaning & maintenance .
Bless you for the phenomenal effort in helping others.
Hello! Thank you for your lovely compliments. I'm glad you found it helpful.
As for the nozzle, I'm unsure if it's something they refined in terms of design materials or a matter of using different supplier from another manufacturing location but thank you for sharing that. I think a little sturdier will probably work better so you're lucky!
Thanks again for watching, cheers!
Thank you for the review, it was very clear, understand better how it works, I was confused with the instructions manual
I'm glad you found my video useful, thank you for watching! :)
Good review. Thank you Dylon.
Thank you for watching! Glad that you enjoyed the review. :) Cheers
Dobra prezentacija.
Great review. So helpful that you took the time time to take some useful measurements. That flexible crevice really does look poorly thought out...
Hello there! Thank you so much for your comment. I'm happy to know that it was a great review for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the accessories, it is indeed the one thing that I find in need of improvement.
Thank u so much for ur Review 😆
You are welcomed. I'm glad you enjoyed the review! Thank you for watching. Cheers. ☺️
Спасибо, Дилан!
Hello! You're very welcomed! Cheers :)
Hi Dylon, thank you for your thorough review. Just a question, do you have to hold the power or a safety button down while using this vacuum cleaner?
Hello there! Thank you for reaching out. No you do not need to hold down the button. It's a press to start, press again to stop button. Hope that helps. Cheers!
Great review 👍 Just for clarification, does the brush has a motor to spin it ? or it just spin by fraction with the floor ?
Appreciate your answer
Hello there, thank you for your question.
I believe there's some kind of motor within the electric nozzle that turns the brush, so it's considered a motorised brush.
Hope this helps! Happy holidays.
I'm thinking to buy it. I am between this one and rowenta flex aqua. But i want to know if bosch unlimited 6 can work on carpets and how long the battery lives with everyday use. If you buy a new battery how much does it costs?
Hello there! Thank you for reaching out!
I can't speak for the Rowenta since I don't use it but I can tell you the Bosch can work on carpets(turbo mode).
I don't know how big or thick your carpet is, I have 2 small carpets about 1m by 1.5m each and a carpet area around 2m by 2m.
I replaced my battery only after 2 years, I think(if I remember right) the battery performance was reduced after about 1.5 years.
The new battery I bought was double capacity and cost 80€. The original 2.5Ah ones cost about 30-60€.
Hope this helps!
Hi Dylon, what you think of this Bosch Cordless Vacuum compared with Dyson V11? im in the mid of choosing either one of those.
Thank you for your interesting question! Although I do not own a Dyson V11 to be able to do a proper comparison, I was able to do a quick look at some videos about it.
A quick Google search brings the price also to my attention that the Dyson V11 is 2x the price of the Bosch.
My opinion is that it really depend on your needs in the house(carpet floors, hard floors etc.). If you're not bound by budget, go for the Dyson. Otherwise, I feel that you can get the Bosch which will work for most people and use the extra budget for a robot vacuum(Xiaomi).
The robot does most of the maintenance work. My Bosch works to cover what the robot can't do(counter tops, ceilings). Its performance is sufficient for me(mostly hard floors).
Hope that helps. Cheers.
Can use Bosch procore 18V battery ?
Hello! Thank you for reaching out with a great question like this. The Procore battery works with the professional line while the one in the video belongs to the Power for All Alliance series which is mostly for home and garden. Hope that clears up your question. Cheers :)
After using this vaccum cleaner, the paper filter is difficult to clean, as it is not suggested to wash by water, where can I buy this paper filter for replacement?
Hello there, thanks for reaching out. If you want to buy any of the accessories, you can go to the official Bosch online store, find your part number and buy it from them. Hope that helps.
Hello. Do you know where to find the series number of it?
Hello, thank you for reaching out. If you take out the battery unit from the vacuum cleaner, you'll find the product label within. Or if you have the user manual, it'll be on that as well. Cheers.
How long does it take to charge until I unplug it from the electricity?
Hello there! Thank you for your question and it's a good one! I don't have the precise answer to it since I don't unplug it from the wall socket after it is fully charged.
I also didn't time the charge/drain duration, but the only time the vacuum cleaner couldn't perform when I needed it was due to the battery failing with time.
The charge was sufficient for about 25 - 30 mins on normal mode and lesser on turbo.
Hope that helps.
Are you still using it? if so, are you still satisfied?
Thank you for your questions! I feel that my opinions on the device remained as the video and I'm still using the vacuum cleaner.
There is one thing about the flexible crevice nozzle is that I found it useful in certain situation. For eg, in between fabric car seats and sofas. The material is softer than a plastic nozzle so it won't scratch or damage our belongings.
can he stand up on his own?
Hello there, that is a very good question! It can't stand on its own. You'll have to lay it flat on the floor, against the wall(with risk of toppling it) or back in its dock.
We ll Never love you
Never say never. :)
You didn't unbox anything. One clip shows the box, the next clip shows the items already unboxed.
Hello! Yes you've got a good point. I skipped the parts where it's just tearing off packaging materials hoping to save the audience some time.
Thank you for your feedback nevertheless. Cheers :)
Hey Dylan, thx for your video-can you please tell, how many minutes you can use in full power mode? and are you still satisfied with it after 2 years of usage ?
Hello there, thank you for reaching out! It's a good question. I'm still using the vacuum and I'm satisfied with it.
About the battery, it lasted about 25 mins if I remember right. Less if you use turbo mode.
I was about to update that the included battery is dead after 2 years and I just ordered a larger capacity one which hasn't arrived yet.
Will update again when I get to. Thank you for watching!
@@dyloncaidead battery aside have you experienced any other problems with the machine? Thanks again for such an amazing review, you’re the reason I am buying this product.
There is a minor bug, but I don't know if it's due to the battery. Sometimes when I return it to the docking station, it will not show the blinking white light which means it isn't charging.
I will have to take it out and put it in again and that works. In my opinion, it's either a bug or a battery issue. It wasn't like that when I first got it.
Other than this, it's the usual wear and tear of any product. The machine still works fine, which is why I am replacing just the battery to give it new life.
I'll probably update again either by a pinned post or maybe a follow up video. Thank you for your question and happy holidays!
