The verdictOur take

The UniversalVac 18 is Bosch Green's 18V handheld vacuum on the POWER FOR ALL platform, with a 0.5L container, 28 l/s of airflow and 9 kPa of suction; it is sold body only. It suits quick clean-ups in the car, the van and around home jobs, running around 18 minutes on a 2.5Ah pack. We rate it a capable handheld for POWER FOR ALL owners; the EasyVac 12 is the smaller 12V option with a 0.38L container, and the AdvancedVac 18V-8 steps up to an 8L wet & dry container on the same packs.
