The Einhell TC-VC 2045 S wet and dry vacuum cleaner is a multifunctional device designed for cleaning both wet and dry dirt in the household, workshop or garage. With this vacuum cleaner, you can remove dust, crumbs and wet spills from floors, carpets or other surfaces, providing a practical solution for daily cleaning in various rooms.

With its spacious 20-liter container, it allows for longer vacuuming without frequent emptying - this is especially useful for larger rooms or more demanding cleaning. The device operates with a power of 900 W, which provides a balance between efficient operation and lower energy consumption, useful especially for light and medium-demanding tasks. The foam filter is designed to protect the motor when vacuuming wet, which reduces the risk of damage from liquid ingress. The blowing function offers an additional option, for example, for removing dust from inaccessible corners or for sweeping leaves outdoors.

The power cord is 3 meters long, which allows the user more freedom of movement without constantly switching sockets, especially in home or garage conditions. Although the device does not have a HEPA filter, the foam filter makes it useful for everyday cleaning where there are no special requirements for the filtration of fine particles. The housing is made of metal with visible silver-red details, which contributes to the durability and recognition of the device.

Key product features

⚖️ Compare features with other products of your choice

The wet-dry vacuum cleaner works by combining suction and air filtration. In dry vacuuming, the vacuum cleaner picks up dust, crumbs and other impurities, while the foam filter traps coarse particles and protects the motor. In wet vacuuming, the filter is particularly important, as it allows for the safe removal of liquids from various surfaces without the risk of damaging the motor.

The 20-litre container size allows you to vacuum larger amounts of liquid or dust without having to empty it in between, which is practical when cleaning a garage, workshop or larger spaces. The blowing function is useful for removing dirt from narrow gaps, cleaning machine parts or leaves from outdoor surfaces.

The 900 W motor power is sufficient for most everyday tasks in the home environment, when cleaning cars, small workshops or common areas, while at the same time allowing for more economical energy consumption than more powerful industrial models. The 3 meter cable length is suitable for typical household tasks, where there is usually no need for an extremely long reach.

Since it does not have a built-in HEPA filter, the device is not specifically designed for environments where additional filtration of very fine particles is required, such as for allergy sufferers. However, the robust metal design and spacious container allow it to be used in many everyday cleaning scenarios where practicality and reliability prevail.

It is important to know

Before buying a wet-dry vacuum cleaner like the Einhell TC-VC 2045 S, it is crucial to consider how you will use the appliance in practice and what compromises are involved in terms of power, volume and filtration. Some features that initially seem sufficient have significant limitations in everyday use, so it is worth paying special attention to the container volume and filter type.

• The 20 l container capacity makes it easier to clean larger areas or larger amounts of dirt at once, but if you vacuum very frequently (e.g. in households with multiple animals), you may quickly fill the container, so assess whether this is suitable for you.
• The 3 m long cable is practical for smaller spaces or regular use in one room; larger areas will require frequent relocation of the socket or an extension cord.
• The lower rated power (900 W) means that it is not necessarily the most powerful vacuum cleaner in its class, but the number alone is not a measure of efficiency - the quality of suction also depends on the attachments and design of the device.
• The vacuum cleaner has a foam filter and does not have HEPA filtration, which is important to consider for users who want greater dust retention or experience allergies.
• The blowing function is useful for removing dust from hard-to-reach places, but in practice many people forget about the possibility of using this.

In practice

🟢 Hard floor and workshop cleaning

The vacuum cleaner is very suitable for cleaning various types of hard floors, such as tiles, vinyl, laminate and parquet, which is supported by the container volume and wet-dry vacuuming capacity.

🟡 Cleaning hair from the floor

Suitable with limitations – despite the large container, there are no special attachments for collecting animal hair, so it can only effectively clean larger amounts of hair if it is mostly on smooth surfaces, not on carpets or furniture.

🟡 Cleaning up mud and spills in the household

Suitable with limitations – the wet cleaning function allows for the collection of liquids and coarse dirt, but the volume and power require control when vacuuming larger quantities at once.

🔴 Cleaning carpets and sofas with embedded hair

Less suitable – because there is no motorized or turbo brush, trapped hair or deeply sucked-in dirt is not removed as effectively as with special attachments for carpets and textiles.

🟢 Using the blowing function for dust in hard-to-reach places

Very convenient – the additional blowing function is useful when removing dust from gaps such as radiators or tools in the garage.
