How to choose the right vacuum

The first thing that matters is what you need to vacuum: dust only, liquids as well, or fine dust that requires specific filtration. Then consider the tank capacity, the cable length or battery life, the weight if you need to move the machine or carry it on your shoulder, and the availability of accessories.

Frequently asked questions: Commercial Wet and Dry Vacuums and Backpack Vacuums
What is a backpack vacuum used for?

A backpack vacuum is worn like a rucksack and allows you to clean stairs, rooms and long areas without dragging a trolley. It is useful on renovation sites, in offices and in commercial premises where dust and debris must be collected while moving. The weight must be assessed both empty and with a full tank, because it bears on the back of the user.

Corded or battery vacuum: how do I choose?

The corded model generally delivers constant power and does not stop to charge, so it suits long cleaning jobs. The battery model is more practical where there is no socket, for example in a car or on an upper floor, but runtime depends on the battery pack. Where mains power is available, the corded model is often the simpler choice.

Plastic or stainless steel tank: which is better?

A plastic tank is lighter to move, while a stainless steel tank is better suited where aggressive liquids or detergents are collected. An example in the catalogue is the Nilfisk Aero 20 l 1250 W solids and liquids vacuum with plastic drum. Choose the material according to what you need to collect and the working environment.

How do I clean and maintain a commercial vacuum after use?

Empty the tank after every use, especially after vacuuming water, to avoid bad odours and rust. Clean the filter with compressed air or with water if it is washable, and let it dry completely before refitting. Check the float and the lid gasket. Do not vacuum embers or hot ash with a standard model.

Can a commercial vacuum collect fine site dust?

For plaster or concrete dust, a suitable filter and a sealed container are required, otherwise the dust returns to the air when you empty it. D.Lgs. 81/2008 (the Italian workplace safety law) requires the risk from dust to be assessed also during cleaning. For harmful dust, choose a model with finer filtration and wear a suitable mask when emptying.

How do I store a vacuum battery so that it lasts longer?

Recharge the battery with the charger specified by the manufacturer, and do not leave it discharged for long periods. Do not expose it to very high temperatures or frost, and store it at half charge if the machine will be idle for a long time. Keep the filter clean, because a clogged filter makes the motor work longer and uses more energy.

Can I use a battery vacuum to clean a car?

Yes, some battery models are sold with a car accessory set, such as the Kärcher WD 2-18 Battery Set V-12/18 solids and liquids vacuum with car accessory set. They are used to collect dust and debris in the cabin or in the load area of a work van. For liquids, check that the tank is dry before vacuuming, and check the data sheet to see what is included.
