The battery is definitely the weakest aspect of the phone. Powering things is a 1200 mAh battery, which ASUS have made removable, so you could carry a second one around – you would need it.
This is because the phone won't last you a day's use, not even close. As we used it, with auto-sync and WiFi or data always on, we needed a recharge just after lunch else the battery would've run dry. Heavy users probably wouldn't even last that long.
If you use your phone for a couple of minutes every hour or two, it'll last you. But nobody does that with a smartphone in 2015, and ASUS really should've given the device a better battery. The simple fact of the matter is you will have to recharge or swap in a second battery, so if that's a problem for you we'd advise you to stay away.
Charging speeds, to make up for it, are half-way decent. In half-an-hour, using the accompanying ASUS charger, the device gained 31% of battery – which may just be enough to see you through until you can give the phone a full charge.
As it is, the battery is far from good, and it sadly ruins the overall experience, which is generally good.
I think you’re confusing bloatware with useful system apps. Most of the preinstalled apps from Asus are very useful. There is little actual bloatware.

“which ASUS have made removable, so you could carry a second one around – you would need it” trust me you cannot actually remove the battery.
