Draper 10L Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner | 1000W Floor Cleaner | 1.5M flexible hose | 12 Accessories | 06489

For my purposes (99% of time car cleaning) this device is great. It can be used as dry vacuum, wet vacuum, blower. Comes with plenty of attachments for different tasks. It's relatively small in size and therefore its easy to handle, comes with a strap so you can hang it on your shoulder. Dry Vacuum - lots of power for it's size and capable of dealing with car interior quite quickly. Wet Vacuum - so far used it once to clean van seats, I used semi-transparent nozzle which I bought separately and it worked great. Blower: This function surprised the most, I didn't expect too much and I was shocked when I saw how much power it has when used as a blower considering it's size and price. Only downside is that it gets very hot quite quickly - you won't get burned but it is quite uncomfortable when it hangs at your side. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and only unknown is how long will it last.

Pros: Used as a wet vac and worked very well. Lots of accessories included. Powerful motor. Cons: The top half can be difficult to join to the bottom.

I've used this hoover to clean my cars as well as dust extraction from a router, sander and circular saw. Suction is outstanding in all of those applications. The air blow function is also very powerful. I've used it to dry various bits and pieces, including my bicycle after a wash. It gets the water out of nooks and crannies, especially if you connect the narrower attachments. It'd blow the house out of the blow port after few minutes of use and I'd have to plug it back in. Nevertheless, it did all I asked of it. Comes with plenty of attachments and I'm able to get into the smallest nooks and crannies in the car. I've also used it for wet cleaning/washing. It's very good at sucking up the water, but you have to empty the tank regularly if you're doing a bigger wash as it fills up rather quick due to smaller capacity. Still, it performed very well on wet vacuuming. Can't fault it. Now onto the bad bits: it is VERY loud. Personally I have to use ear defenders to make it bearable to work with, but you might find you don't have to. Due to the short hose, you'll be constantly in close proximity to the hoover. I assume my neighbours like me less every time I use it. 2nd bad bit: stiff and short hose. It makes it awkward to work with, straining your wrists/hands as you're constantly have to fight it not to spring into another direction. Not the best hose, but ultimately it gets the job done. Although it becomes an annoying issue after few uses. I'll be sourcing a different flexible and longer hose for this reason. Overall, it is a workhorse in and around my garage that gets the jobs done. Whatever I throw at it. Hasn't missed a bit in the two years I've had it. However, it has it's pitfalls which make me want to buy a different dry/wet hoover. Mainly the noise, as the hose can be easily replaced. So if you don't mind the noise and the crap hose, then go ahead and buy it, I'm sure youllbe happy with it and it'll serve you well. 4 starts due to two pitfalls

Bought this to clean my cars. Must say this is lightweight and easy to move around. The noise level is standard for any hoover but has good suction especially for cleaning cars. The size is compact so it tidys away nicely in the garage. Its a good durable sturdy unit. Excellent price from the brand Draper as always.

This is just brilliant! Have lof of loft space to clean before insulation is being fitted, including monster spiders & their webs, and this hoover is making the job so much easier and faster. It's light weight, has great suction and seems sturdy enough (without unnecessary bells & whistles of modern domestic hoovers) to last for a long time. Most of the additional suction heads have also turned out to be really useful, which I hadn't really expected. All in all a great product for an unbeatable price (at least for what I could find) and would happila recommend. As a big bonus, delivery was super fast: ordered in the afternoon, arrived the next day!

Really good value

Dry suction is weaker than I expected. Suction is lost quickly as the blue filter becomes clogged Wet suction is good, better than expected Blow is extremely powerful, especially when using the narrow pipe extension. Noise from this vacuum is close to being unbearable in a small space e.g. a car. I'm sure you would need ear protectors if this was used in a commercial environment. Flex hose is much too short which results in having to carry the Vacuum around. The small attachments are a good idea but I rarely have a use for them. A better water attachment would have been more useful , e.g. one to suck water from glass or polished surfaces. All in all, it's a decent wet/dry vacuum cleaner that's cheap and does an average job, therefore it gets an average score from me.

I bought this mainly due to a leak in my daughters car which meant the carpets were soaked. This made short work of removing most of the water but it has turned out to be far more useful than that. Its great for cleaning out cars in dry mode and is powerful enough to get all the dirt out. The small crevice tools and brushes are fantastic for cleaning out those really difficult areas where dirt gets caught. Especially so in my caravan where the door has narrow sliders for the fly screen that I have never been able to clean out properly until I bought this. I have also recently used it to help wash my caravan carpets which I removed, scrubbed and hosed down. This Vac pulled most of the water out and they were dry again within 24 Hrs and like new. I read some reviews about the tank filling quickly in wet mode and I guess that is the case so maybe not the right vac if you need to remove large amounts of water. I would highly recommend this for someone with the need for occasional use like myself.
