Einhell TC-VC 1820 S wet and dry vacuum cleaner (1,250 W, 20 l stainless steel tank, blow connection, 4 castors, Ø 36 mm suction hose + extension, floor nozzle, filters)

For a cheap vacuum cleaner I have to say I'm really shocked. I've used this to remove water floods without issue, I even used it in the yard to suck stones, sand and gravel from the cracks. It's not let me down yet and i've had it over a year now roughly. Very surprised!

Got this really as a 2nd vac to the cordless for which we generally go around the house with. I wanted something to clean out the car and also do other jobs with when DIY-ing etc. This is ideal for that and for its size and price it really packs a punch. Really impressive suction. The plastic extenders that go together to form the long section, that you'd use to vacuum the floor....they're not great, and the floor accessory itself is fine for hard floors, but no good for carpet. It's a wet and dry so will vac wet stuff, just consult the manual as the filter you used will depend on whether you're vacuuming wet or dry materials. I just made sure I had the right filters on, installed the vac bag that comes with it and away you go. Just takes a minute to push on the handle and wheels. Not quiet, but at this price I've no complaints there. Lots of gripes about the cord length. Use an extension lead lads. It's not great for house vacuuming anyway like I said. For the car or workshop it's perfect. And it blows also, which is handy. When you stand near it you really get a sense of the volume of air it's moving as the blower port is where it's exhausting. Highly recommended for the price.

This vacuum cost me only £52 delivered and the 4 star rating relates to value for money. If cost were to be disregarded it might merit a 1 or 2 star rating. It weighs less than 5 kilos - 11 pounds - and is flimsy, I would not consider this in a working environment, I use it in my garage and at 79 years old am slow and careful, even a robust larger dog or child might easily damage it. (It only cost me £52 by the way).The stainless steel body is very thin and will easily dent, all the plastic parts are thin & of dubious quality, I expect to be using adhesives to repair something eventually. It has castors and is very light to tow around chasing dirt & debris. but they could easily be broken, but for £52??It has a 1250 watt motor and has very good suction and, importantly for me, the hose can be connected to the air exit to become a very powerful blower. Leaves are blown against our garage doors and it is satisfying & quicker to blow them out to be shoveled into the bin. It also blows down spiders webs from all the hard to get high points. And for £52??A Henry or George or a "Shopvac" would cost more than double the price and I am happy this will last me out but rueful to have seen as I logged on that this model was for sale recently for only £42!!!!

Easy to assemble, only took 2 minutes. Switch on top is big, easy to press and feels high quality. The clips on the side that attach the vacuum to the base are sturdy and nice to use. Isn't too lightweight but is a little bit topheavy when empty, and combined with the fairly short cord (2 meters or so) is a bit unstable and can topple over. Vacuum power is very strong, easy to clean. Hose and attachments feel cheap and let it down a bit.

I have always had Karcher vacuums but thought I’d take a punt at this based on good reviews, and regret it. Its actual sucking power is great, but other than that everything is cheap and rubbish. The power cord is embarrassingly short. The hose is very cheap and not flexible and I would imagine will split in the near future. The accessories/nozzles are also cheap. May be ok for occasional use but would not recommend otherwise. Will be buying a Karcher again when this inevitably breaks.

Good hoover plenty suction but carpet head I replaced with another more expensive one

First time using this had paper bag and cloth filter on. Bag come off, and blew fine dust everywhere!!!!! Not used wet yet. Probably just chuck it in the bin

I chose this vacuum cleaner because I have several Einhell power tools in my workshop and I have always been pleased with the quality.This is no exception - compact and surprisingly powerful, and light enough to carry in one hand as you move around the room, which is particularly useful when cleaning stairs.The small size and lightweight construction do mean that it can tip over if it is pulled over obstructions, but that seems a fair trade off given the positives of the unit being easy to carry and store.
