Verdict

The Einhell Professional TP-VC 36/30 S Auto-Solo is a 36V cordless wet-dry vacuum cleaner powered by two 18V Power X-Change batteries, delivering a maximum suction power of 150 mbar in Boost mode and 100 mbar in Eco mode. Key characteristics include a robust 30-liter rust-free stainless steel tank, an automatic water drain screw, a blowing connection, and a 2.5-meter heavy-duty suction hose with a 36 mm diameter. Its standout pros are the wireless auto-start connectivity transmitter that automatically triggers dust extraction when a paired cordless power tool is started, excellent mobility via large transport wheels, and a quiet 76 dB(A) operation level. However, main cons include a somewhat bulky floor nozzle that can centralize suction, unclassified dust protection status, and the fact that it is sold as a bare tool, requiring separate purchases for the batteries and charger.
