What we like about Metabo ASA 32 L

  • Generous 32-litre collection tank capacity allows for extended use without frequent emptying.
  • Integrated power take-off socket automatically syncs power tools with the vacuum's start and stop function.
  • Certified dust class L configuration safely filters very fine dust particles.
  • Automatic safety shut-off mechanism immediately stops operation when liquids reach maximum capacity.
  • Robust wheel assembly ensures excellent maneuverability across jobsites and workshops.
  • Long power cord and suction hose provide a large, flexible working radius.
  • Washable cellulose pleated filter is easy to change and maintain.

What we don't like about Metabo ASA 32 L

  • Lacks an adjustable suction control setting to regulate the air flow directly on the unit.
  • Included accessories and extension tubes are made of thin, basic plastic that feels cheap.
  • Draining collected liquids can be cumbersome and awkward due to the tank shape.
  • Manual filter cleaning mechanism requires frequent attention during heavy usage.
  • Heavier reliance on plastic components reduces overall long-term durability under industrial stress.

Verdict

The Metabo ASA 32 L is a commercial-grade wet/dry vacuum cleaner featuring a 1,200-watt motor that delivers a maximum air output of 3,600 liters per minute and a 200 hPa vacuum pressure. It comes equipped with a 32-liter container volume, a 3,600 cm² filter surface, a 3.2-meter suction hose, and an integrated power socket with automatic start/stop functionality for linked power tools. Certified for L-class dust user protection, its main pros include excellent mobility due to a lightweight 7 kg build, an automatic shut-off safety sensor for liquid filling, and dual wet-dry extraction capabilities. However, its main cons include a lack of adjustable electronic suction power controls and a notable drop in suction performance as the single cellulose filter becomes clogged.
