Draper 230V Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Stainless Steel Tank, 20L, 1250W

Compact, Capable and Built to Last – The Everyday Stainless Steel Wet and Dry Vacuum

The Draper WDV20BSS brings the durability of a stainless steel tank to a more compact, lighter format – making it the practical choice for home users, DIYers and hobbyists who want a genuinely robust wet and dry vacuum without the bulk and weight of a full 30-litre workshop machine.

At 4.6kg with a 20-litre tank, it's noticeably easier to move and store than its larger siblings, while still delivering 1250W of suction power and a blower function for versatile cleaning around the home, garden, garage and workshop.

Stainless Steel Tank – More Durable Than You'd Expect at This Size

Most vacuum cleaners at this capacity use plastic tanks. The WDV20BSS uses stainless steel – the same material chosen for the larger WDV30SSB and WDV30SSPA workshop models. That means better resistance to knocks, moisture, heat and chemical exposure; the kind of durability that matters when a vacuum lives in a garage or shed rather than a under-stairs cupboard.

Handles Both Wet and Dry Pick-Up

Designed from the outset for both wet and dry material collection, the WDV20BSS deals equally well with dry dust, workshop debris and garden mess as it does with liquid spills and wet material. The 20-litre tank provides plenty of capacity for typical home, garden and light workshop tasks without the machine becoming unwieldy to empty.

Blower Function – Clean Beyond the Nozzle's Reach

The built-in blower function reverses airflow to push dust and debris out from tight spaces, vents, outdoor furniture, garden equipment and workshop machinery before vacuuming it up. It's a straightforward but genuinely useful addition that a basic vacuum simply can't replicate.

Practical and Easy to Use

Everything about the WDV20BSS is designed for straightforward, everyday use:

• Castors make it easy to roll between rooms, around the garage or across the workshop floor
• Carry handle for lifting up steps, into the boot of a car, or between floors
• On-board tool storage keeps accessories clipped to the machine so nothing gets misplaced between uses
• 5-metre cable with approved plug provides useful reach without an extension lead

At 4.6kg, it's light enough to carry without effort and compact enough to store conveniently when not in use.

Where Does the WDV20BSS Sit in the Draper Wet and Dry Range?

The WDV20BSS is the entry point to Draper's mains-powered stainless steel vacuum range – lighter and more compact than the 30-litre models, but built to the same standard of durability. It's the right choice for home users and occasional workshop users who want a step up from a basic plastic-tank vacuum without needing the full capacity or power tool socket of the larger machines.

For heavier workshop use or regular dust extraction alongside power tools, the WDV30SSB or WDV30SSPA offer greater capacity and, in the case of the SSPA, an integrated power take-off socket.

Suggested FAQs:

How does the WDV20BSS compare to the larger WDV30SSB?
Both models use stainless steel tanks and share the same core features – blower function, castors, carry handle and on-board tool storage. The WDV30SSB offers a larger 30-litre tank, more powerful 1600W motor and higher airflow, making it better suited to sustained workshop use. The WDV20BSS is the more compact, lighter option at 4.6kg, better suited to home users, DIYers and those who need a vacuum that's easy to carry and store.

Can I use the WDV20BSS for garden clean-up?
Yes – the stainless steel tank handles outdoor conditions well, and the wet and dry capability makes it equally suited to collecting leaves, soil and garden debris as it is to indoor use. The castors and carry handle make it straightforward to move around outside.

Does this vacuum work with power tools?
The WDV20BSS does not have a power take-off socket, so it cannot automatically start and stop alongside a power tool. It can still be used manually for dust extraction alongside power tool use. For automatic tool-linked extraction, the WDV30SSPA includes an integrated power take-off socket.

What accessories are included?
Please refer to the product packaging for the full list of included accessories. Compatible replacement accessories and additions use the standard 35mm diameter fitting – refer to Draper's spares listings for compatible parts.

Is the stainless steel tank easy to empty?
Yes – the tank design allows straightforward emptying of both dry and wet material. For liquid, simply remove the tank and tip carefully, or use an appropriate drain method.
