The German supermarket chain Lidl has on offer in its stores across Spain a Bosch cordless 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner at €119.99 according to its promotional leaflet. This model features a 16 V battery and combines handheld and upright vacuum functions, providing a flexible cleaning solution as part of Lidl’s home goods range that complements its usual food and electronics products.
The vacuum is powered by lithium-ion technology, providing up to 40 minutes of runtime with a charging time between 4 and 5 hours, per the manufacturer’s technical data. It incorporates an EasyClean system for effortless removal and cleaning of the brush roller, and includes a vertical parking function to stand upright unaided. This facilitates storage and allows charging from any household socket.
With approximate dimensions of 116 x 26.5 x 16.5 centimetres and weighing around 2.6 kilograms, the device aims for ease of handling across rooms. It offers two adjustable power levels suited to different floor types and cleaning needs. A motorised nozzle provides thorough cleaning on surfaces such as parquet, tiles, or carpets, with a swivel joint allowing access to tight spaces beneath furniture and corners.
The dust container can be easily detached and emptied, while the washable filter reduces maintenance costs over time. The lithium-ion battery maintains consistent suction power throughout use, avoiding common power loss seen in older battery types. Charging times of 4 to 5 hours mean the vacuum is ready after overnight connection.
EasyClean system and low maintenance
One standout feature is the EasyClean system, which significantly simplifies maintenance. It allows the brush roller to be removed without tools for quick clearing of hair, fibres, and debris. The washable filter is designed for repeated use, eliminating the need for disposable replacements.
As stated by Bosch, "simply rinse the filter under the tap and let it dry fully before reinstalling" to maintain optimal filtration. The dustbin – designed for minimal contact with dirt – can be emptied directly into the bin with a simple pull, preventing dust clouds and aiding household hygiene.
Vertical parking and multipurpose use
The vacuum’s ability to stand upright unaided offers practical convenience. This vertical parking lets users pause cleaning without having to find a support, resuming easily afterwards. It also helps save storage space, ideal for smaller homes.
No wall mounts or dedicated cupboards are required, as the device can be securely positioned on any flat surface. The 2-in-1 design allows use as a full upright vacuum for floors or as a detachable handheld unit for furniture, upholstery, car interiors, shelves and curtains.
Cordless 2-in-1 vacuums have grown popular recently due to battery technology improvements enabling sufficient suction without a power cord. They offer freedom of movement unrestrained by cables, reducing trip hazards and facilitating cleaning of stairs, vehicles and remote areas.
These models usually feature lithium-ion batteries, providing a balanced combination of weight, capacity, and lifespan without memory effect, meaning partial charging doesn’t degrade the battery. Market trends show increasing demands for lighter, longer-lasting cordless vacuums aiming to match the performance of corded models.
Battery life and practical usage
The vacuum’s battery life varies with power settings and usage. Bosch states up to 40 minutes at the lower power setting, which suits regular cleaning of hard floors with light dirt. When using maximum power, ideal for carpets or tougher grime, runtime drops to between 15 and 25 minutes.
Manufacturers typically quote ideal figures; real-world performance can be affected by factors like battery age, ambient temperature, and surface type. For medium-sized homes, this autonomy generally suffices for complete cleaning sessions.
