I've had one of these for 6 years and it's still going strong despite plenty of abuse. Suction is strong and the motor has taken plenty of abuse and yet still runs.The bags can be had for about £4 each and have a very large capacity, about 3 or 4 times that of a henry. You can buy zipped bags or if crafty cut the bag open to empty and then stich it shut again.The post bag filter is tough paper fibre encased in plastic and i've never bothered replacing it, I just wash it in soapy water and then let it dry. They're about £60 for a replacement new.You're supposed to buy a plastic post bag filter if using in wet mode, but I don't bother and just use the fibre one being careful not to overfill with water or spill it. Works a treat.The power dial has 4 settings: off, on, power takeoff and 'thump' modeThump mode bangs the filter somehow so that fine dust falls off and allows it regain suction.Power takeoff overruns by a few seconds to continue clearing dust from the tool/hose after turing off the attached tool.I've used this unit to help with:1) repoint my house (fitted to an angle grinder) - filled many bags with dust2) sand my decking3) decorate my house and stripping old paint4) attached to a mitre saw5) and general cleaning up duties

Got this as a dedicated vac for the mitre saw. And it's great for the task. It's worth addressing the negative comments here which are unfair and uninformed. Firstly, one reviewer states with this vac, Bosch are trying to be like Festool? Err...no. The GAS 25 and GAS 20 are Bosch's budget vacs. The GAS 35 L is the model in the price ballpark of Festool vacs and it includes tool storage and the ability to attach an L-Boxx to the top etc like the Festool's. If you want a Festool but are only prepared to pay for a Bosch GAS 25 L, well, you get what you pay for!! The other low score review states this is just a "Hoover" or a "Henry". Well, the Bosch Gas 25 has a larger capacity, is a proper wet and dry vac, has auto filter cleaning and a power tool socket for auto starting when power tools are plugged into it. Hoovers and Henry's don't. The reviewer also states you have to buy attachments to connect to power tools. You don't. The vac already comes with Bosch's rubber power tool adapter on the end.
All in all, for a basic shop/site vac, the GAS 25 is worth considering. I've found it completely reliable.

Shocking it's just a big hoover with more hoover attachments then a Henry , you then have to buy the attachments to fit it to your sander/router . I think there trying to be like festol , wouldn't bother again

Worth the price to have an efficient filter system. I like the feature that you plug in your sander so that it starts the vacuum when you start sanding
