Bosch portable dust extraction systems are designed to meet the rising benchmarksย for jobsite dust collection. Their main features focus on efficient dust collection. Anyone who has ever used a cartridge filter on any kind of suction tool knows that it only works well when the filter is unclogged. And they do get clogged. Fast. The VAC090S, VAC090A, VAC140S, and VAC140A dustย extractorsย from Bosch deal with this situation with automatic or semi-automatic filter cleaning systems (the โSโ designation in the model number for semi-automatic cleaning, and โAโ for automatic).
Features and Build Quality
These work to offer the best-in-class air flow measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). With the semi-auto system, a module on the hose allows the user to cut suction and activate reverse airflow filter cleaning with the simple press of a button. The automatic systems use the same reverse flow system to clean the filter every 15 seconds without interrupting progress. Bosch recommends that the self-cleaning systemsย notย be used with HEPA filters due to the more delicate nature of their construction.
Other features worth considering include integrated hose and cord storage, compatibility with the Bosch Click & Go System, and water level sensors that automatically shut down the system when liquid levels reach a predetermined level to protect the motor. Available accessories include the VX110 extension hose, the VX130 floor tool kit, and the VF120H HEPA filter that creates an EPA-compliant system. A variety of filters and bags are also compatible with the family.
