Product Overview
The Bosch Athlet is a thoroughly well-rounded vacuum cleaner, which offers reliability, agility and a powerful performance.
The vacuum features a super slim design and lightweight construction, so it can be utilized for any purpose, by anyone.
This truly makes the vacuum cleaner one of the best on the market for a larger quantity of individuals, regardless of age or stature.Â
The 2,400W motor is unparalleled and is capable of cleaning up even the most stubborn of messes. Is the vacuum truly the best on the market?
Performance
In order to get a better idea of the Athlet, you should take the opportunity to examine its overall performance.
Despite being a cordless vacuum, it comes equipped with a 2400-watt motor. When compared to the others on the market, there are few that are capable of paralleling the performance of the Bosch. When adding this with the unit’s lightweight design and extreme maneuverability, the vacuum’s performance is truly spectacular. It works efficiently on carpets, as well as hard floors, so you can rest assured knowing it will be able to get the job done, without any trouble whatsoever.
Design And Features
Most homemakers expect a lot from their vacuum, even more so, if they have wall-to-wall carpet in their home.
 If you are tired of struggling with that heavy, low-performance vacuum, it may be time to trade it in for the Bosch Athlet.
Not only is this model designed with the homemaker in mind, but also it offers three different power levels, which allows the user to customize their settings.
The Sensor Bagless Technology TM allows the user to relax, when they are using the Athlet, since the airflow is continuously monitored.
The red LED will light up to alert the user that the filter needs to be cleaned. This is an awesome feature, since the performance level relies on a clean filter.
Weight
The Bosch Athlete weighs in at around 3kg. It is already being touted as one of the best lightweight cordless vacuums and it definitely fits that moniker perfectly.
The vacuum’s lightweight design makes it incredibly easy to use and tote around. In fact, the majority of individuals will be able to tote the vacuum around with a single hand.
This makes it perfect for those residing in two or three story homes. Even slightly smaller and older individuals will be able to tote around this vacuum, without wearing themselves out.
Maneuverability
The Bosch Athlet is designed to provide the consumer with an effortless experience. In order to make this possible, the consumer will be able to benefit immensely from the unit’s extreme flexibility.
You’ll almost never have to lift the vacuum off of the ground, during the vacuuming process. The incredibly flexible nozzle joint makes it possible for the unit to zoom around furniture and other household items, with no complications.
This guarantees that you get the job done, without any difficulty and much quicker.
Emptying
The Bosch Athlet is entirely bagless. Although some individuals will prefer to opt for a bagged setup, the bagless models are undeniably less costly.
This is especially true, when it comes to the Bosch Athlet. The vacuum cleaner’s debris bin can be emptied very easily.
 The bin pulls out of the front of the vacuum and can be dumped out over the rubbish bin, without any difficulty. The process is quick, simple and will never turn into a mess.
Battery Life
Athlet’s powerful 25-volt lithium ion battery offers a full 60-minute run time. This is much longer than the competitor brand and the homemaker will never be forced to stop amid their cleaning tasks, just to recharge. It is important to note the charge time, which will range anywhere from 3-6 hours.
The battery power level determines the time. If the level is extremely low or the battery is dead, it will take the full 6 hours to complete the charge.
While many consumers may be turned off by this lengthy charge time, you should consider the long run time.
When compared to many of the other cordless vacuums on the market, the Athlet vacuums truly excel. Regardless of your mess and the size of your home, you will be able to maintain your peace of mind knowing that you’ll be able to get the mess cleaned up, without needing to recharge.
What Is Included and Additional Accessories Available That Can Be Purchased Separately
The great benefit of purchasing the Bosch Athlet is that you will receive additional cleaning tools including the XXL crevice and upholstery nozzles. A shoulder strap is also included in the package, which will offer an easy way to tote the vacuum around.
 A flexible suction hose can be found in the accessory kit and will allow the user to reach deep into those hard to reach corners.
You can purchase replacement or additional accessories including the crevice nozzle, XXXL upholstery brush, shoulder strap, and a 7-meter flexible hose.
Manufacturer’s Warranty
The warranty can really be a major selling point for many products. Although the Bosch Athlet is undeniably well built and designed for longevity, it comes with a 2-year Manufacturer’s Guarantee.
 In fact, all Bosch appliances come equipped with the same guarantee. Of course, a warranty would be insufficient if the company providing it was unreliable.
 This is where Bosch truly excels. The company has been praised repeatedly throughout the years for their amazing customer service. This helps to guarantee that you’ll be able to take full advantage of the warranty, if the need arises.
