What we like about Draper 20514

  • Strong suction power for clearing debris and liquid messes quickly
  • Compact size makes it highly portable and easy to store
  • Onboard tool storage keeps all supplied accessories organized
  • Sturdy stainless steel tank construction provides good durability
  • Dual-function design includes a helpful integrated blowing function
  • Convenient castors and a carry handle offer smooth maneuverability

What we don't like about Draper 20514

  • Extremely loud operating volume during use
  • The 1.5-meter suction hose is considered too short by some users
  • Extension pipes and fittings are made of somewhat flimsy plastic
  • Swapping between wet and dry filters can be a tedious process
  • The included foam filter for wet use is prone to tearing easily

Verdict

The Draper 20514 is a wet and dry vacuum with a 1,250 W motor, a 15 L stainless-steel tank, 15 kPa vacuum and up to 25 L/s airflow. A blower function, 5 m cable, castors and on-board accessory storage support garage, workshop and DIY use, while its 4.5 kg weight is easy to handle. The plastic straight extension tubes can be fragile, and the combined floor tool is less effective on carpets than hard surfaces.
