BoschVAC090AH Portable 9 Gallon Dust Extractor with Auto Filter Clean and HEPA Filter

After owning shopvacs and ridgid this is in a whole other league. I can't believe how well the filter cleaning works. I bought this after my ridgid vac kept getting it's filter clogged during a bathroom remodel. I was griding thinset off the concrete and my ridgid vac filter was getting completely clogged after 30 minutes even with cyclone dust separator inline.Out of necessity I bought a vacuum with the automatic clean feature. I debated tether to get the festool, fein or bosch. I am very happy with the Bosch having other Bosch tools I knew it would be designed well and have good support.The hepa filter give me the piece of mind that I am not spewing fine dust over my whole house with each use. I now use this vacuum to clean out all my other vacuums in the house and in the garage since it never clogs up.

The Bosch dust extractor is an absolute powerhouse! Its suction power is nothing short of impressive, effortlessly tackling even the finest dust particles with ease. It's a remarkable value for money, given its exceptional performance and the peace of mind it offers for a clean workspace. What's equally noteworthy is its remarkably low noise level, making it a pleasant and quieter addition to my workshop. The only exception is the filter unclogging tapping sound it makes about every 30 seconds, a feature which can be disabled via a button. Bosch has truly outdone themselves with this dust extractor, and it has quickly become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. If you're in search of a high-performing, cost-effective, and noise-conscious solution for dust extraction, this Bosch extractor deserves a resounding five-star rating.

Awesome product! With the HEPA filters it can be used for ultra fine particulate dust without any issues

I bought the extractor to connect to a Bosch concrete grinder to grind down high spots in a concrete floor. I was really impressed by the suction and filtration capabilities. Whereas I should have been generating large clouds of concrete dust, the job site remained dust free after ~1 hour of grinding.

It makes a loud thump every 15 seconds with the auto filter cleaning turned on. You can turn it off - but everytime you restart the vacuum it defaults to being on.. Disposable Bags are about $4-7 a piece - i haven't tried the knockoffs yet. Otherwise a very heavy and solidly built unit. Despite the high CFM of these dust extractors - I'm not sure they work better than my shop vac for cleaning the floor - but they definitely keep the air cleaner..

I was back and forth on purchasing this vacuum, due to the price. I paired this with the concrete polisher/grinder to take out high spots in my basement floor. It took about 10 minutes to knock off the peak at the joint. Very little dust was not captured, but was able to be sucked up afterwards.Very well made product as you would expect from Bosch.

Really like the auto filter clean function!

After my Festool CT26 caught fire from sucking in burning router dust, I replaced it with this Bosch vac. I wish I had bought a Mirka or Fein. The auto clean function is obnoxiously loud and doesnt seem to do any good except to cause loss of suction mid cut. This vac can't keep up with any of my air sanders on its best day with new filter and bag. And now after just over a year in service the power switch fails and they want $38 to replace it! I love my other Bosch tools but stay away from their dust extractors until they improve.
