Draper Expert 230V M-Class Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner, 35L, 1200W

Professional M-Class Dust Extraction – Built for the Way Tradespeople Actually Work

The Draper Expert WDV35LMC is a fully M-Class compliant wet and dry vacuum designed for professional and trade environments where dust extraction isn't optional – it's a legal and health requirement. Delivering 99.9% dust removal in line with HSE recommendations, it handles fine dust from wood, plaster, cement and similar materials safely and effectively, keeping your workspace cleaner and your lungs protected.

What M-Class Certification Actually Means

Dust extraction vacuums are classified by the particle sizes and hazard levels they can safely capture. M-Class (medium hazard) vacuums are required for materials including hardwood dust, sand, concrete, and some composite materials – all common in construction, joinery, flooring and renovation work. The WDV35LMC meets this standard in full, making it appropriate for professional use on sites where HSE dust control guidelines apply.

Automatic Filter Cleaner – No Manual Maintenance Mid-Job

One of the WDV35LMC's most practical features is its automatic filter cleaning system. After use, the filter vibrates to dislodge trapped dust particles and restore filter permeability – maintaining consistent suction performance without requiring you to stop and manually clean the filter between tasks. It's a feature that separates professional-grade extraction from standard workshop vacuums.

Auto Start/Stop Tool Socket – Hands-Free Operation

The integrated auto start/stop plug socket transforms the way you work with power tools. Plug your sander, saw or router into the on-board socket and the vacuum automatically activates when the tool starts and shuts off when it stops. No separate switches, no forgetting to turn the extractor on – dust is captured from the moment cutting or sanding begins.

1200W Amiteck Motor – Sustained, Powerful Suction

The 1200W Amiteck motor delivers 24kPa of vacuum pressure and 60 litres per second of airflow – performance figures that hold up under sustained professional use rather than just on a spec sheet. Combined with the automatic filter cleaner maintaining consistent permeability, suction stays strong across long working sessions.

35-Litre Capacity and Full Bag Indicator

The 35-litre tank is sized for a full working day's extraction without constant interruption. When it does need emptying, the full bag indicator takes the guesswork out of timing – you'll know when it needs attention rather than discovering mid-job that suction has dropped.

Quiet Enough for Occupied Spaces

At just 68 decibels, the WDV35LMC operates at a significantly lower noise level than many comparable industrial vacuums. That matters on occupied sites, in customer homes, or in shared workshop spaces where sustained loud extraction becomes a real problem.

Wet and Dry Capability

Beyond dust extraction, the WDV35LMC handles liquid pick-up too – making it a genuinely versatile machine for workshops and trade use where wet spills are an occupational reality alongside dry debris.

Suggested FAQs:

What does M-Class mean and do I need it?
M-Class (medium hazard) is a European standard for dust extraction vacuums. It is required when working with materials that produce medium-hazard dusts – including hardwood, MDF, sand, cement, and certain composites. HSE guidance requires appropriate dust extraction on many professional and construction sites. If you work with these materials professionally, an M-Class vacuum is the appropriate minimum standard.

How does the automatic filter cleaner work?
After use, the filter cleaning system vibrates the cartridge filter to dislodge accumulated dust and restore its permeability. This maintains consistent suction performance without manual intervention and extends the working life of the filter.

Can I use this vacuum with my power tools?
Yes. The on-board auto start/stop plug socket means you plug your power tool into the vacuum rather than the wall. When the tool starts, the vacuum starts. When the tool stops, the vacuum stops. This ensures dust is extracted from the very beginning of each cut or pass.

Is the WDV35LMC suitable for wet pick-up?
Yes – it handles both dry dust and debris and liquid pick-up, making it a versatile choice for workshop and trade environments.

How loud is this vacuum in use?
The WDV35LMC operates at 68 decibels – quieter than many comparable extraction vacuums, and well within comfortable working levels for occupied sites and customer premises.

What filters and bags does it use?
The vacuum is supplied with a cartridge filter, foam filter and paper dust bag. Replacement consumables are available separately – refer to the Draper spares listings for compatible part numbers.
