Draper 230V Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Stainless Steel Tank, 30L, 1600W

Robust, Reliable Wet and Dry Cleaning – Workshop, Home and Garden

The Draper WDV30SSB is a straightforward, well-specified wet and dry vacuum built around a durable stainless steel tank. With a 1600W motor, 30-litre capacity and a practical feature set including blower function, castors and on-board storage, it's an honest, capable machine suited to workshops, garages, homes and gardens – without the complexity or cost of integrated power tool sockets or spray extraction systems.

If you need a dependable wet and dry vacuum that simply gets on with the job, the WDV30SSB delivers.

Stainless Steel Tank – Durable Where It Matters

The stainless steel collection tank resists the impacts, moisture and chemical exposure that quickly degrade plastic alternatives in workshop and outdoor environments. Whether it's collecting wet debris from the garden, dusty material from a renovation project, or liquid spills in the garage, the tank holds up to sustained use without warping, cracking or deteriorating.

1600W Motor – Strong Suction Across Wet and Dry Tasks

The 1600W motor produces 18kPa of vacuum pressure and 53 litres per second of airflow – matching the more expensive WDV30SSPA on raw suction performance. It handles fine dust, coarse debris and liquid pick-up with equal capability, making it a genuinely versatile machine for mixed-use environments.

Blower Function and Dust Clearing Button

The blower function redirects airflow through the hose to clear dust and debris from benches, machinery, outdoor furniture and garden equipment before vacuuming it up. The dust clearing button agitates the filter during use to dislodge accumulated dust and restore suction performance – keeping the machine working consistently without needing a full stop to manually service the filter.

30-Litre Capacity – Built for Bigger Jobs

The 30-litre tank gives you extended working capacity before emptying is needed. The large drain plug makes liquid disposal clean and simple after wet pick-up, while quick-release clasps provide fast access to the tank for emptying and filter changes.

Practical Features for Everyday Use

• Castors for easy movement around workshops, garages and larger rooms
• Carry handle for repositioning and transport
• On-board tool storage keeps all accessories clipped to the machine and ready to use
• 5-metre cable with approved plug for useful reach without an extension lead

At 6.3kg – slightly lighter than the power take-off model – the WDV30SSB is easier to manoeuvre and carry despite its full-size 30-litre capacity.

How Does the WDV30SSB Compare to the WDV30SSPA?

Both vacuums share the same stainless steel tank, 30-litre capacity, 1600W motor and core feature set. The key difference is the integrated power take-off socket on the WDV30SSPA, which automatically starts and stops the vacuum when a power tool is plugged in – making it the better choice for regular dust extraction alongside sanders, saws and routers. The WDV30SSB is the cleaner, simpler option where automatic tool-linked extraction isn't needed, at a lower price point and slightly reduced weight.

Technical Specifications:

What is the difference between the WDV30SSB and the WDV30SSPA?
Both models share the same stainless steel tank, 30-litre capacity and 1600W motor. The WDV30SSPA adds an integrated power take-off socket (rated at 1300W) that automatically starts and stops the vacuum when a power tool is plugged in – ideal for dust extraction alongside power tools. The WDV30SSB does not include this socket, making it a simpler, lighter and more affordable option where automatic tool-linked extraction is not required.

Can this vacuum pick up liquid?
Yes – the WDV30SSB is a wet and dry vacuum fully capable of picking up liquids as well as dry debris and dust. The large drain plug makes emptying the tank after wet pick-up straightforward.

How does the dust clearing button work?
The dust clearing button agitates the filter to dislodge accumulated dust and restore suction performance during use, reducing the need to stop and manually clean the filter mid-task.

What accessories are included?
Please refer to the product packaging for the full list of included accessories. All standard Draper wet and dry vacuum accessories use the 35mm diameter fitting – refer to Draper's spares and accessories listings for compatible additions and replacements.

Is this suitable for garden use?
Yes – the WDV30SSB is well suited to workshop, home and garden environments. The stainless steel tank handles outdoor conditions better than plastic alternatives, and the castors and carry handle make it easy to move between locations.
