Worth paying for
5/5
Having had a Bosch Athlet before (which eventually failed due to the battery), I knew they were good machines. Also, having bought something cheaper in the interim, I know how poor other devices can be. The Serie 6 machine is sturdy but not too heavy. On the highest setting, it's already extracted dust that the previous, cheaper machine, did not pick up. Compared to the earlier Athlet machines, this one is far easier to clean, and doesn't require filters to be washed or replaced. Note that this machine doesn't come with any extras (such as an extension pipe) but other than that, works very well.
