Bosch has announced it’s releasing its first ever cordless stick vacuum in the US, the Bosch Unlimited 10 and 9. While Dyson tends to dominate the conversation in the US, Bosch has long been a major player in Europe, making its debut in the US cordless stick vacuum market a notable one.
Bosch says the vacuums are designed to pick up 99.99 percent of dust, even fine particles you can’t easily see with the naked eye, and automatically adjusts power and performance based on the floor type. Each vacuum also features a bright blue LED ring light that signals when a surface has been fully cleaned. Both models are additionally backed by an industry-leading 10-year motor warranty.

The Unlimited 10 builds on those core features with a few upgrades, including a 90-degree bendable tube for easier cleaning under low furniture and in tight spaces. It also adds a dynamic display for switching between six cleaning modes and offers up to 80 minutes of runtime — about 20 minutes more than the Unlimited 9, Bosch claims.
Pricing starts at $499 for the Unlimited 9 and $599 for the Unlimited 10. Both models are available now on Amazon and through the Bosch Home U.S. website.
