Design and Features
Versatile Attachments
The Bosch Unlimited 7 Aqua comes loaded with useful accessories, including:
- Powered vacuum floorhead with LED headlights
- Aqua mop head
- Flexible hose for hard-to-reach areas
- 2-in-1 furniture brush

User-Friendly Build
The vacuum features a lightweight design, ensuring it’s easy to maneuver without feeling top-heavy. Attachments click in smoothly, and the controls are simple, with a slider for Eco, Turbo, and Auto modes.
Unique Flexible Hose
One standout feature is the flexible hose, allowing users to easily clean under furniture without excessive bending.
Performance
Vacuuming
The Bosch Unlimited 7 Aqua performs well on hard floors, effectively picking up everyday dirt and debris. However, it might struggle with fine dust on carpets, requiring multiple passes or the use of Turbo mode.
Mopping
The mop head features rotating pads, but its performance is somewhat lacking. It tends to smear spills rather than effectively cleaning them up, and the gap between the pads necessitates multiple passes for complete coverage.
Dustbin and Battery
Small Dustbin
The dustbin’s small capacity means frequent emptying, which can be inconvenient for larger homes or those with pets.
Battery Life
The battery provides a decent runtime of around 30 minutes with the powered floorhead. Mopping significantly reduces battery life. A full charge takes approximately 5 hours.
