When it comes to finding a budget-friendly wet and dry vacuum for your cleaning needs, the Wessex 18L Wet & Dry Vacuum is a top contender. This versatile vacuum is perfect for cleaning up wet spills, dust, and debris in indoor or outdoor spaces, making it ideal for use in garages or workshops.
The Wessex 18L Wet & Dry Vacuum is available in three different sizes – 18, 20, and 30 litres. In our tests, we found the 18-litre model to be powerful and effective at sucking up sawdust, dirt, mud, and even water leaks. With 18,000Pa of suction power, this vacuum comes equipped with a main brush head, crevice tool, and hose adapter for connecting to power tools. It also features a 1.5m hose and a 5m power cable for added convenience.
While the Wessex 18L Wet & Dry Vacuum can handle both wet and dry spills, it does require some adjustments depending on the task at hand. You may need to add or remove the bag, filter, and locking nut for different cleaning purposes. Additionally, this vacuum can also be used as a blower, but again, this feature requires some adjustments.
As expected for its price point, there are some compromises in terms of build quality. The vacuum is predominantly made of plastic, the floor brush lacks angle adjustment, and the bags are made of flimsy paper. However, you can easily replace the bags with universal ones or opt for the specific bags made for this vacuum model.
While the Wessex 18L Wet & Dry Vacuum may not be a long-term investment, it is a solid option for those in need of a budget-friendly cleaning solution. Its powerful suction and versatile capabilities make it a reliable choice for tackling a variety of cleaning tasks.
