Our review of the Einhell TC-VC 1812 S wet and dry vacuum cleaner
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Einhell 1812 S

  • Powerful suction performance from the 1250W motor
  • Highly affordable and offers great value for money
  • Extremely lightweight, compact, and easy to transport
  • Durable and rust-proof stainless steel container
  • Versatile performance handling both wet liquids and dry debris
  • Convenient dual function with a built-in blower connection
  • Easy to maneuver due to the four smooth-running swivel castors

What we don't like about Einhell 1812 S

  • Operates with a high noise level during use
  • Relatively short power cable and suction hose limit working radius
  • Included plastic extension pipes and attachments feel cheaply made
  • The 12-liter tank capacity requires frequent emptying during large tasks
  • Prone to tipping over easily because of its lightweight build
  • Lacks advanced configurations or adjustable suction speed controls

Verdict

The Einhell TC-VC 1812 S is a compact and versatile wet-dry vacuum cleaner powered by a 1,250-watt motor that delivers a maximum suction power of 180 mbar. Its primary characteristics include a rustproof 12-liter stainless steel collection container, an integrated blowing connection for hard-to-reach areas, and a 36 mm hose system with a 1.5-meter suction hose. Key advantages include strong suction performance relative to its lightweight 2.9 kg build, convenient on-device accessory and cable holders, and a highly mobile design supported by four swivel castors. However, notable drawbacks include its relatively short 2.5-meter power cord that limits the total action radius to 4 meters, a loud noise level of up to 78–80 dB(A), and cheap feeling plastic extension tubes that can sometimes feel rigid or difficult to maneuver.
