WORX WX031.9 18V (20V MAX) Cordless Compact Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner, Black

Wonderful handy little vacuum. Good enough to use to clean the house, clean the car, and can handle wet-and-dry without spoiling it. Ie you can clear up building rubble and mud one minute, then if you want to, you can clean out your car.Each battery charge lasts ages and ages, and fully interchangeable with other WORX tools, (we have about 10 batteries for these things, and they are all interchangeable). The battery space on this vac is big enough for the 4Ah batteries as well as the normal ones, and it also has some handy nozzles which fit in the battery space as well, so you don't lose them, and there is a handy carrying handle.As a last plus, you can reverse the suction, so it becomes a blower. I found after repairing a wall which had been filled with polystyrene balls, that they went everywhere and I really struggled to pick them up. So I put it on blow, and it worked a treat. Also can easily pick up leaves etc on the patio. I am lucky enough to have a Tesla car, which has an unlimited service interval; I have just gone over 105,000 miles, and had to top up the coolant on the battery system - ie its first ever service, which they did on my driveway - which meant removing the (enormous) air filter. The service only cost £29.00, (twenty nine pounds)!!! My Mercedes I had before never cost less than £1k for a service. Tbh after 105,000 miles, I should really have replaced the air filter - but I just gave it a go-over with this little beauty, and it sucked all the grime of 4x round the world, so they put the old one back in as good as new; although the filters in these things are so good, it smells no sweeter than it did before - however is probably good for another 105k miles!Last thing - we have crazy paving on our patio, which always ends up infested with weeds because soil gathers between the stones. On a dry day, I tried out of interest vacuuming between the stones - blow me down, it sucked up every jot of soil between the stones, and hey presto no more weeds - just lovely! Completely recommend this thing, and every time I think I've used it for every handy job - another really useful application comes up for it.

Build quality is great for me, like this make, seems well designed, hoovering up , I will be putting it through harder tests, but so far so good, picking up dust and bits and pieces after work, it's pretty light, and a great addition to my home, battery has lasted for a while and not had to charge it yet, however longer you keep it on the quicker drain the battery, how ever, if you buy a spare battery, it's worth it. In the long run, plus all tools of this brand use same battery. It compacted and all bits can be carried in side hoovering till you use it.

Very capable and surprisingly powerful vacuum cleaner but a few points to note after several months use:-Con, the external holder for the wide nozzle attachment is useless. The attachment falls off every time so I just remove it and set it on the driver's seat when cleaning the car. Why not make it yellow so it's easy to find in an average grey black car interior??Pro, standard 32mm vacuum cleaner attachments fit this so I've velcro fixed some others to the outside of the housing to keep them handy. (Long crevice tool and brush attachment)Con, very hard on the Worx standard battery which heats up substantially within a few minutes use. Keep a second battery handy if deep cleaning the car.Pro, very lightweight in use but solidly made. Just as well as it falls over a lot.Con, it recognised a 5mah third party battery as non Worx and shuts down in 2 seconds. This will probably be called a safety feature by Worx but the same third party battery works in their mitre saw and hedge trimmer without issue.Pro, easy emptied but no reduced power when close to full.Yes - get one, it's decent value but keep checking the price history as Worx pricing bounces around like a Tigger. (Naughty Worx, price creep approaching Prime Days...... not gone unnoticed. Hmmm)

Feels like good build quality and easy to use. Great for use in the car, shed/workshop and around the house. The battery charge lasts well so enough time to get jobs done and tidy up afterwards which brings it's own rewards in a peaceful life.

I have quite a few Worx tools already so the body only version of this Vac was all I needed. I already have corded a wet & dry Vac that I use in my garage so the question was, would this smaller cordless Worx Vac add any extra flexibility for work around the house? Well the answer to that is a resounding yes. It's so light & has a carry shoulder strap as well as a handle. It's great for vacuuming out the car without having to run cables onto the drive & has more than enough suck for most jobs. I doubt I will use it as a wet vac though but nice to have that option if needed. Switch the position of the hose & you have a mini leaf blower as well. I have a loft boarding project coming up which will involve a lot of chipboard cutting in the loft so this portable vac will come in handy & might, with an adaptor, even fit the dust port on my Worx circular saw. Either way it will get a lot of use clearing up all the saw dust & cob webs in my loft. The flexy hose also fits the solid extension poles I have for my existing corded shop vac so getting up high into the loft rafters should be no problem. I haven't had it long enough to see what the battery life is but since I have quite a few Worx batteries & chargers that should not be a problem. Slightly pricey but all in all a great buy.
