Introducing the Wessex 18L Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner
If you’re in the market for an affordable wet and dry vacuum cleaner, the Wessex 18L model is worth considering. Designed for use as a shop vac in spaces like garages or outdoor areas with hard flooring, this vacuum is perfect for cleaning up wet spills, dust, and debris. Available in three sizes – 18, 20, and 30 litres – the 18L model offers impressive suction power and versatility.
During our testing, we put the Wessex 18L to the test on various surfaces, including sawdust, dust, dirt, mud, and even a water leak. With 18,000Pa of suction power, this vacuum proved to be effective and efficient. It comes equipped with a main brush head, crevice tool, and hose adapter that can be connected to the outlet of power tools. The 1.5m hose and 5m power cable provide ample reach for tackling different cleaning tasks.
Whether you’re dealing with wet or dry spills, the Wessex 18L can handle it all. However, it’s important to note that you may need to make adjustments by adding or removing the bag, filter, and locking nut depending on the task at hand. This can make the vacuum slightly more complicated to use compared to higher-end models. Additionally, the build quality of the Wessex 18L is primarily plastic, and some components like the floor brush lack certain features like angle adjustment.
While the bags included with the vacuum are made of paper and may not be the most durable, you can easily replace them with universal bags or purchase specific ones from Toolstation. Despite its limitations, the Wessex 18L Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner is a solid choice for those on a budget who need a reliable cleaning solution. While it may not be a lifelong investment, it offers good value for the price.
