The Serie 8 is a step up from the earlier Serie 6, with 60 minute run time in normal mode and an impressive 45 minutes when using the electric floor brush, the interchangeability of the battery with Bosch power tools is handy if you have forgotten to charge the product. The charging time is very rapid only 1 hour which is much quicker than the other brands. The cordless comes with a good selection of tools and a powered floor nozzle. The bin size is small holding .4 litres so you will need to change it often. A good competitor to the Dyson range having superior run time and fast charging.
