The GAS 35 L AFC is the L class version of Bosch's 35 litre AFC extractor. It keeps the automatic filter cleaning that makes the M class model so effective, with a 1,380 W turbine and 254 mbar of vacuum pressure. It suits joinery workshops, kitchen fitters and DIYers dealing mainly with wood dust, where L class is enough and M class certification is not required.

Our take
L class explained
Bosch states certification as L class to EU standards for reliable user protection. L class covers general dust, including softwood. For hardwood, MDF and mineral dust such as concrete and plaster, many sites ask for M class. If you are unsure what your work requires, check your client or site rules before choosing.
Suction and filter cleaning
The listing gives a 1,380 W suction turbine with 254 mbar of high vacuum pressure. Automatic filter cleaning is listed to guarantee sustained, powerful suction for fast progress. That is the same principle as the M class AFC model: the filter is cleaned while you work, so suction does not tail off as fine dust builds up.
It handles wet and dry pick up.
In the box
Bosch includes a cellulose flat pleated filter, a 35 mm crevice nozzle, a disposal bag, an elbow, a floor nozzle set, three 0.35 m extension pipes and a 5 m hose with a power tool adaptor. That makes it useful for cleaning floors as well as extracting from tools.
The specs list a weight of 18.4 kg, similar to the M class unit.
Tool start
Bosch does not say in this listing whether a socket for switching tools is fitted. The M class sibling describes one clearly. If automatic switching with your tool matters, check the model details or consider the Trend T35A, which lists auto start.
Choosing between Bosch models
The GAS 35 M AFC adds M class certification and a confirmed tool socket. The GAS 35 L SFC+ is the L class model with semi automatic filter cleaning and a 3 m hose. The L AFC sits between them for wood workshops.
Verdict
The GAS 35 L AFC is a good fit for wood focused workshops that want automatic filter cleaning and strong suction without needing M class. If you work on sites with mineral dust, the GAS 35 M AFC or Trend T35A are the better choices, and the GAS 35 L SFC+ suits users happy to clean the filter by hand.
