Verdict

The Einhell TC-VC 3055 SA is a versatile 900 W wet-dry vacuum cleaner offering a suction power of 190 mbar and a 30-litre stainless steel tank. Its primary characteristics include an integrated 2000 W automatic power tool socket for synchronized workshop tasks, a 36 mm diameter hose system (2.5 m length), and a dedicated blowing connection for hard-to-reach areas. Main pros highlight its robust rust-proof construction, high airflow efficiency, convenient water drain screw for easy liquid disposal, and practical onboard storage for cables and accessories. On the downside, the unit has a relatively short 3-metre power cable limiting its direct operating radius to 5.5 m, a moderately loud sound pressure level of 78 dB (A), and its dust protection class is not officially classified.
