Makita VC2512L Review | 43 Data compared

In the industrial vacuum cleaner group test published by AUTO BILD, the Bosch Professional GAS 35 L SFC+ secured overall victory with 220 out of 240 points, while the Kärcher WD 6 was named the price-performance winner. The evaluated models offer high build quality, robust suction for heavy workshop debris, and specialized fine-dust filtration systems as key pros, though cons include diminished continuous suction performance in cheaper alternatives that remain adequate only for casual garage use.

Ideal heavy-duty wet-dry vacuum cleaners should feature a durable stainless steel container, an integrated appliance power socket with an automatic switch-on, and a convenient water drain plug. The primary advantages of these evaluated multi-purpose models include their high versatility in effortlessly handling coarse debris, fine workshop dust, and liquid spills, complemented by useful additions like onboard accessory storage and blower functions. However, notable drawbacks involve their bulkier and heavier builds, which reduce maneuverability compared to slim cordless stick models, alongside the need to manually adjust internal dust filters when switching between dry and wet cleaning operations.
