This prevents any risk to the user when vacuuming wet substances and also stops the machine becoming damaged. Even so, there’s a lot of variation in suction power between wet and dry machines. A higher power usage also doesn’t always equal better suction, although the two are closely linked. If there’s one area where wet and dry vacuums excel, its suction power. Unlike regular upright or cylinder models, the new EU regulations limiting vacuum power don’t appear to apply to wet/dry models (probably because these are often used for industrial purposes).

The Henry vacuum is designed for everyday vacuuming and comes with various tools. He is well known for his reliability and is almost bomb-proof. Most of the models we’ve talked about so far have been “full size,” but you can also buy handheld wet vacuum cleaners. These have much less suction power and capacity, but can be useful for cleaning up small spillages. Handheld machines are also relatively cheap. In the first section, we’re going to list our top wet/dry cleaners along with why we think they are excellent models. The second section contains a complete guide to buying the best wet and dry vacuum for your home.

One of the stand-out features of the Einhell TE-VC 1930 SA is the large stainless steel body, which reduces how often you need to empty the vacuum. This provides 30 litres of capacity and also has a drainage screw. Einhell are old-hands at producing wet & dry models, so you would expect this model to be reliable. We think the Nilfisk Multi ll 30T is one of the best wet and dry vacuums on the market. Its ability to generate strong suction for both wet and dry materials, along with the blower function and semi-automatic filter cleaning, make it an excellent all-round vacuum. We also think it provides great value. The Draper 13785 is one of the best wet vacuum cleaners for home use. Whether you need to clean your garage, shed or workshop, the Draper is robust enough to handle almost anything you can throw at it. Noise. Some wet and dry models can be very loud due to their powerful motors. If this is a problem, look for vacuums with a lower decibel level. It also has a large 30 litre capacity, although it’s worth mentioning that the actual maximum is lower than this (the exact capacity depends on whether you use a bag.) Swapping between wet and dry modes requires removing the bag, but this is standard for most vacuums in this category. There’s also a blow function, which can be useful when cleaning or blowing leaves.
