Bosch Move Lithium 16V max: what works and what doesn't?
What works well
- Up to 40 min run time: Exceptionally long for a mini handheld vacuum
- Only 1.1 kg: Very handy, one-handed for the car and overhead
- Good suction: The high-airflow system also cleans upholstery thoroughly
- Bagless + washable: no running costs, container emptied directly
- Bosch quality: Durable, good spare-parts supply
Points of criticism
- Upholstery tool sold separately: The special upholstery tool is only available as an accessory
- No motorised pet hair attachment: The rotating brush is missing for heavily haired upholstery
- 0.3 L container: Smaller than on the Black+Decker, so empty it more often with a lot of dirt
