I tried Bosch’s new vacuum-mop combo – it’s ultra-lightweight and has two big perks that make it effortless to empty

I TRIED Bosch’s new vacuum-mop combo gadget, and it is a breeze to scrub – you do not even need to empty any soiled water.

The Aqua Limitless 7 – the primary of its sort from Bosch – is ideal when you want a silver bullet for each selecting up particles and wiping muddy footprints.

The gadget, which hit cabinets in early April, comes with two removable heads: a vacuum brush and a mop attachment.

And at simply £499, it is less expensive than options, just like the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine which has a £799.99 price ticket.

Vacuum

The very first thing I am going to say in regards to the Aqua Limitless 7 is that it is extremely light-weight.

At simply 1.4kg, the gadget curves spherical corners with ease.

As somebody who lives with power again ache, the light-weight and cordless nature of the vacuum is a dream.

Gone are the times of wrestling with my Mr Henry and its huge trunk (which decapitated a beloved plant of mine not way back).

It being cordless means it is battery powered, and comes with a discrete charging station.

The Aqua Limitless 7 vacuum dons a nifty torch mild that illuminates hair and mud in hard-to-reach locations, just like the darkish underbelly of the couch.

That is notably helpful because the vacuum can fold into an L-shape to achieve beneath huge furnishings.

It is also very simple to empty, and could be finished with out inhaling a mud bomb – which is clearly a pleasure.

There are three totally different vacuum modes you’ll be able to select from: Eco, Turbo and Auto.

The Eco setting lacks the oomph that different modes have, as a result of it’s designed to eat much less battery.

That being stated, it nonetheless will get the job finished.

In keeping with Bosch, the battery is meant to final about 40 minutes.

When utilizing it on the Automated setting, I can get roughly an hour out of the battery earlier than needing to recharge it.

However for bigger homes, you could want extra gas.

Mop

Not like the standard mop and bucket, the Aqua Limitless 7 mop head has an automated water provide characteristic which avoids any pooling.

The mop head consists of two round pads that spin in the direction of one another to take away cussed stains.

One bonus is that there’s no soiled water to gather or empty – so upkeep is straightforward

The pads are washable, and could be eliminated through a tag which suggests you’ll be able to detach them with out getting your arms grubby.

Then you’ll be able to sling them into the washer with different cleansing rags, or you’ll be able to hand wash them. However they’re going to want a very good rinse.

The tank is simply 250ml, so when you’ve bought a big dwelling, or just a number of arduous flooring, you would possibly want a bigger machine.

Or, you’ll be able to choose refilling it greater than as soon as throughout a cleansing spree – which actually is not any trouble in any respect.

One bonus is that there’s no soiled water to gather or empty – so upkeep is straightforward.

The Limitless 7 Aqua has a mud pickup channel – like a mini vacuum – that picks up particles earlier than the mop pads get soiled.

This implies you don’t have to empty a grimy water tank while you’ve completed cleansing – simply tear off the pads and stick them within the wash.

I am used to placing a bit elbow grease into mopping, relying on what degree of stain I am dealing with.

So the considered not being in charge of the strain or the strategy of the mopping, at first, had me puzzled.

And lo, the stress take a look at was born:

I threw some espresso on the ground (sure, very enjoyable) and let it partially dry earlier than placing the mop to the take a look at.

Truthfully, it held up fairly effectively – as you’ll be able to see within the video above.

There was a bit little bit of smearing, however ultimately, the ground appeared shiny and clear – and that is all we will actually ask for.
