Verdict

The Einhell TC-VC 1815 is a compact corded wet-dry vacuum cleaner featuring a powerful 1250W motor that generates a maximum suction power of 180 mbar and operates at a sound pressure level of 78 dB(A). It is built around a lightweight, impact-resistant 15-litre plastic container, utilizes a 36 mm diameter hose system with a 1.5-meter suction hose, and connects to power via a 2.5-meter electrical cable, resulting in a total operating radius of 4 meters. Weighing 3.65 kg, its main advantages include high versatility for both liquid and solid dirt pickup, a built-in blowing connection for clearing hard-to-reach areas, integrated accessory holders for easy storage, and high mobility provided by its carrying handle and four smooth-running castors. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively short power cord that limits its independent reach, a high noise level during operation, and a plastic wand assembly that can occasionally feel flimsy or separate during heavy use.
