The BEST Battery Wet/Dry Vacuum | Bosch GAS18V-3N 18-Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum with HEPA Filter

Buy the Bosch GAS18V-3N 18V 2.6 gallon Vacuum on Amazon: amzn.to/2MWC15g
Yes, The Best Cordless Vac! - Finding a good small wet/dry vac that is quiet is pretty impossible. It seems the smaller the vacuum gets the louder they are. Not in this case! Bosch Tools rocked the design of the GAS18V-3N 18-Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum to make it small, easy to use, powerful and quiet. The design looks simple and its ease of use along with all the other attributes makes this the absolute best cordless wet/dry vacuum that you can buy. It is also priced very well at $119, and that includes a standard washable HEPA filter. The quality of build is superb, with a 6-foot kink free hose that is very flexible to the IPX4 rated design with a fuel gauge outside the vac next to the power button. The circular tub creates an internal cyclone and also allows you to snap on the motor housing at any point you want. No searching for just the right spot for the top to fit. This new wet/dry vac will run on any Bosch 18-volt battery, so anything from a 2.0 Ah slim pack the current 6.3 Ah Core18V battery will work.
Runtime is everyone's concern when it comes to battery-operated vacuums. Bosch claims this vac will run 4 minutes per amp-hour of the battery. We found the numbers to vary quite a bit. For example, we did a lot of testing with the Core 18V 6.3 Ah battery and found that the vacuum running in the corner with no use would run for 30 minutes. If you were using the vacuum under normal dry situations, the runtime dropped to 25 minutes. If you were using the vacuum for wet situations, the runtime dropped to 20 minutes. So the harder you use the vacuum, the less runtime you will see, but the claim of 4 minutes per amp hour is very accurate for normal use. Runtime on the GAS18V-3N is very respectable!
The Bosch GAS18V-3N is rated at 51 CFM and is a vacuum only. There is no option to use this as a blower. Included with this vacuum is a washable HEPA filter. If you plan to use this vacuum on the jobsite, that is important and it is a huge bonus as it is not needed to be purchased after the fact. Remember the price on this vac? It's only $119 as a bare tool, with a HEPA filter, all the attachments, and an amazing hose.
Bosch calls the cyclone effect this vacuum creates "Rotational Airflow Technology". The cyclone help with sustained suction, due to a special structure of the vacuum canister. That special structure is circular. There is no doubt that it works and we show the vac working in the video. We had this vac connected to a saw and also just cleaning up a mess and the items in the container were always spinning around and keeping the filter free and clear to help with suction.
We are wet/dry vacuum snobs and this is by far the best wet/dry vacuum on the market at this time. Noone matches the quality of construction, noise level or runtime that this vacuum offers. Plus the price makes it affordable to many.

That actually seems like a good buy. I could use a small vac like that. Thanks for the info guys

I would have said $199 was a good deal for this vac! $119 is a steal.

[@MNCasaPro]

@@WorkshopAddict I have the Ridgid vac and it has become one of my all-time favorite tools. Sounds like this one is significantly better. So, if anyone is thinking about a battery operated vac - I'd say go buy this Bosch! In fact, I'm going to recommend it to someone today. Thanks for the review.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I too use the Ridgid for my main vac, but no longer. The Ridgid is really loud and hard to put back together when you empty it. This Bosch Vac is so simple.

[@michaelleas]

Although that does stink cause I'm on the Ridgid platform myself. I'd have to go out and get a battery and charger for this Bosch.......decisions decisions!

[@WorkshopAddict]

Mike, that is one reason why I do not get married to one battery platform. There will be a 15% off sale this weekend at Acme tools, so you can get this vac, a battery and a charger for less than normal. They say you have to buy 4 items, so just buy a few cheap impact bits to get you to the discount.

[@SABjork]

I have kids and stairs and the corded vac is just heavy and dangerous and does not stay on the steps. This is the best solution. I leave it in the closet and use for quick cleanup and spills that are common with young children. Just what mom needed for daily clean up on window sills, stairs. hard flooring, hair, smashed crumbs and yes, cars and trucks. We even took it camping. Lowes, $139 with Core18V 4.0ah battery and charger. The battery and charger would cost at least that much alone and it works with all my other Bosch tools. Super stoked. thanks again.

[@Acemans]

Lowes is currently doing a special where you can get one with a 4ah battery and charger for no extra charge. $140 for vac, batt, and charge is a steal.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Awesome question but hard to answer from this end. If it was me, I would choose Dewalt for some of the lights and the power inverter, but you may not need that. Is there a tool out there in a different brand that you want to have? Makita has a lot of construction tools and subcompact models. I just wont say to myself this is my ONLY brand. I buy the tools that work best for me.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

WorkshopAddict I agree that buying the best tool for it purpose that’s how I always picked my corded tools. Now when running tools on batteries it get pricey and takes up more room with multiple different chargers I wish all the tool companies would work off one battery platform. Thx for you advice because Dewalt was what I was looking into. Your channel has great reviews keep them coming 👍🏼

Geeat review! There are 1.6 gallon and 2.5 gallon on the market correct? Do you think 2.5 gallon one will have stronger suction?

i have no experience with the 1.6 to give you that answer. Are they rated the same?

[@deanhauser6626]

read some negative reviews on Amazon, some saw suction was not good while others said the opposite, strange? One of the more mentioned complaints was a little red ring that hold the hose or attachments on breaks easy? Most of the negative comments were no battery or charger comes with it but, we should all know for that price you wouldn't get those. Being I am already in the Bocsh format with several batteries I will give this a try for our motorhome projects rather than bring in a bigger shop vac that needs a cord and gets banged against the woodworking

Great informative video. If you don’t mind, I just purchased a delta 12” Gen 2 cruzer miter saw, will this work on it for dust collection? The saw has a 1.5” dust port. I only ask because beside the miter saw, all my tools are on an 18V Bosch platform & I have plenty of batteries. Thanks in advance.

[@WorkshopAddict]

It will work with that dust port. It might be slightly light for complete dust collection on a miter saw as a larger vac would suck in more dust from around the cut. This will take everything thrown into the dust port without issue.

Hey Brian just wondering if this unit has its own charging port on the shop vac or do you have to remove the battery and buy a charger for it. As for the accessory connections where can you purchase them. I saw you attach the vac onto your saw can I attach it to a Mikita sander? Thanks

[@WorkshopAddict]

Anthony, It does not have its own charging port. You have to remove the Bosch battery and charge it. This vac takes all of the same accessories that the larger Bosch dust extractors do, so you can purchase them anywhere Bosch is sold. To attach it to the saw we used the Bosch tool attachment accessories that comes with the vac.

[@Pro1er]

That looks like a great vacuum and at a good price but I'm done with Bosch. I don't really like a single Bosch tool that I own. I know they have a loyal fan base, but I've yet to figure out why.

I get it. They do not make a lot of automotive tools and in many ways seem to need to catch up to the other tool manufacturers. What I do have in Bosch has been flawless and I really enjoy their vacuums.

It doesn't connect wirelessly to the tool, so you will have to start it manually.

[@jpslattery7344]

If you are referring to the Ryobi P770 (big boy on wheels), they rate it at 80 CFM but it's also a 6 gallon unit so I would expect a need for greater airflow. The comparable Ryobi in terms of size would be the 3 gallon P3240 which is rated up to 45 CFM while the 2 gallon Milwaukee (0882-20) is also 45 CFM. It seems that Bosch is within the same area as everyone else in this size class of wet/dry vac. One needs to compare apples to apples...

I always said they will never have a good cordless tool until they fix those horrible batteries. And now that they did, and it's been heavily tested, I was only part right. They didn't become good... They became great. I'm super stoked about the Left Blade version of the StrongArm (the 7-¼ circular saw with plunge and track feature). No one seems to make a left blade 7-¼ track saw. And all right blade track saws are silly ... it baffles me to this day, since most of the tool users are right handed (and I lost use of left arm 11 years ago) yet everyone makes their true track saws right bladed. And a 6-½" blade??? C'mon?!?!? It's like everyone just kind of accepted it and went with it and 7-¼ were just left in the dust for tracks capability. All bosch needs now is to bring their PBD-40 (variable speed, digital drill press) to the US !! (Or at least make it 120v so we can import it without having to convert it and kill the warranty lol.) If bosch did that, US woodworkers would lose their minds lol. Can ya tell I'm excited??? Lmao. Thanks again for the video. :)

Good little vacuum, anyone experience static shock from the switch? I use my dewalt push stick to operate it now but when i forget i am quickly reminded it doubles as a defibrillator lol, my friend has the same issue with his, i am surprised no one mentioned it in the comments

How does the Ryobi 3 gallon project vac compare to this bosch. Disregard cost and fact that i have ryobi batteries already.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Ryobi is half the suction, no battery gauge that is readable during use, not as easy to get to the filter. Bosch also includes a HEPA filter.

[@purinpat]

Thank you. I have Ryobi battery already and was debating about this too, but I will get the Bosch :)

[@dannyh.7490]

I like it, but already tied into three other brand battery platforms !

[@rcrinsea]

I wish this thing had an electrical plug so one could use it with AC power, too.

“The Ridgid might be more powerful but it’s really really loud”. Honestly how loud could it be? When someone says something is “really really” loud I’m thinking standing next to a speaker at a Guns N Roses concert. In terms of it being loud for a shop vac, I’m sure it’s not that loud either.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Lol. Thanks for the laugh bud!

[@arnoldrimmer8008]

It's wet/dry but you only reviewed dry. The problem is wet use. You fill it one time you're done. The filter gets wet and you get NO suction until you either wait for the filter to dry or have a number of dry spares.

[@xlandros]

Always take filters out of wet/dry vacs when using it to suck up water.

[@iggymac3473]

Great review thanks guys #WorkshopAddict

[@carterscustomrods]

I'm curious... there's so many calling this a 2.6 gallon. No one seems to truly know.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Dry capacity is 2.6 gallon

[@austinjt4264]

Would this be adapted to EC Brushless anytime soon?

[@HepauDK]

It would be nice if they paired it up with one of those nifty new Biturbo motors....

[@khiaraslaw]

Used filter when vacuum liquids?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Yes

[@mastercarpenterltd]

Nice one, good review, cheers👍

[@WorkshopAddict]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dewroc66]

Don’t the filter come off before you suck water through it? I know it’s washable but who wants to get it wet then wait till it dries to do the next dry job ?

[@WorkshopAddict]

This filter works wet or dry. No need to wait between wet and dry uses. It is washable also.

[@orijimi]

Have you guys tested the Hilti VC 75?

[@WorkshopAddict]

No

[@jessemurillo6]

Does it work with bosch 18 volt slim batteries?

[@WorkshopAddict]

It does.

[@2hotscottpro]

Anyone use a battery adapter? Is there enough room? I see there’s one that accepts dewalt and Milwaukee.
