Suction and power

Suction power (claimed)iThe maker's highest suction power claim in air watts. Some makers write W for suction power. Test standard, mode and tool differ by maker. Regional pages can state different figures.

Max suction pressure (claimed)iThe maker's highest suction pressure claim in pascals. A claim in kPa is multiplied by 1000. Air watts are a different measure.

40,000Pa1Maker product pagetikom.com/case_show.aspRead 15 October 2026Bullet says a high-performance 450W motor delivering up to 40Kpa suction power, which is 40000 Pa. No test standard or mode is stated. Vacuum Wars measured 50 inches of water lift sealed suction, which is about 12.5 kPa, and calls the suction below average.

Rated poweriElectrical power of the vacuum as the maker publishes it, called motor power, rated power or wattage. It is not suction power in air watts. It is the maximum input power of the motor unit. A nozzle's own power is not added. The power of the charger or the dock does not count. When the maker states a rated figure and a higher maximum, such as LG's 350 W rated and 650 W in Turbo mode, the maximum is stored and the rated figure goes in the source note.

Bin and filtration

Dustbin capacityiCapacity of the bin on the vacuum. Makers state the gross volume or the volume up to the max line. When both are given, the max-line volume is stored and the gross volume goes in the source note. A compaction claim, such as "holds three times more", is not stored.

HEPA1Maker product pagebosch-home.com/de/de/product/BTS1042WACRead 16 October 2026Page names a HEPA Filtersystem with more than 99.99 percent filtration. No particle size is stated, so the capture claim is not stored.

Sealed filtrationiThe maker states that the whole machine is sealed, so all air passes the filter before it leaves.

Battery and run time

7 of 8 differ

Battery voltageiNominal pack voltage, such as 25.2 V. A full-charge voltage, such as 29.4 V for seven cells, is not nominal.

18V1Maker product pagebosch-home.com/de/de/product/BTS1042WACRead 16 October 2026Page lists battery voltage 18.0 V.3Owner's manualmedia3.bsh-group.com/Documents/8001382681_B.pdfRead 16 October 2026Device voltage 18 V.

21.6V5Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0DJ11NG2TRead 15 October 2026Item details list power voltage 21.6 volts. Six cells in series at 3.6 V fit the 6*2000 mAh pack, so 21.6 V is nominal. The listing's wattage of 450 watts matches the maker bullet.

Battery capacityiPublished pack capacity at the nominal battery voltage. A cell count times a cell capacity, such as "8 x 3,200mAh", is not a pack capacity. The cell capacity is the pack capacity only when all cells are in series. That holds when the pack voltage divided by the cell count is one lithium-ion cell voltage, 3.6 or 3.7 V, such as 8 x 2,200mAh at 29.6 V. The source note shows the check. When the maker gives a rated and a nominal capacity, the one that matches its stated Wh at the pack voltage is stored.

4,000mAh1Maker product pagebosch-home.com/de/de/product/BTS1042WACRead 16 October 2026Page lists battery capacity 4.00 Ah, which is 4000 mAh. 18 V times 4.0 Ah is 72 Wh.

2,000mAh1Maker product pagetikom.com/case_show.aspRead 15 October 2026Bullet says a 6*2000 mAh removable battery.

15Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0DJ11NG2TRead 15 October 2026Included components list Battery*1.

Run time (claimed)iOne row per maker run time claim on one battery. Power level puts the maker's mode on a common scale. Lowest is the weakest setting, such as Eco or Min. Highest is the strongest, such as Boost, Max or Jet. Middle covers every setting between them. Claims that add a second battery are not stored. A handheld configuration without a motorized head counts as non-motorized tool. On hard floor with the main head counts as motorized floor head. Leave the tool out when the maker says neither or its own pages disagree, and name them in the source note. A machine with one power setting uses highest. When the maker gives a range, such as 20 to 25 min, the top of the range is stored and the range goes in the source note. A boost button or trigger counts as a setting, so a machine with one setting and a boost has a lowest and a highest row. A wet cleaning mode, such as Dyson Wet or Samsung WET, is not a power level, so it is not stored.
