The highest vacuum

When compiling the rating of construction vacuum cleaners, we tried to objectively select models with the best value for money. The average score is set on a five-point scale. It is formed on the basis of reviews from independent resources: Yandex.Market, VseTools, M.Video, DNS, Ozon, Otzovik, IRecommend. The rating includes models that have collected at least 50 customer reviews. In addition, the product receives additional points for meeting each of the following criteria:

average price - no more than $200. This amount is optimal in terms of price and quality for a construction vacuum cleaner.

Power - not less than 1400 watts. Power is related to performance. The higher it is, the more efficiently the vacuum cleaner removes construction debris.

Dust container volume - not less than 30 liters. The big dust collector saves time and simplifies work. The vacuum cleaner works for a long time without a decrease in performance, less often you have to shake out the garbage.

Length of cable - not less than 7 meters. With a long wire, no extension cord is needed.

Air flow – not less than 50 l/sec. The more air passes through the vacuum cleaner, the higher its performance.

Underpressure - not less than 200 mbar. The higher the vacuum, the better the equipment collects heavy construction debris: pebbles, pieces of cement, coarse sand.

The weight - no more than 8 kg. Too heavy a vacuum cleaner, as it fills with construction debris, it becomes difficult to carry along.

Filter cleaning system - automatic. The vacuum cleaner does not lose performance. No need to take a break from work to clean the filter.

Noise level - no more than 70 dB. The quieter the vacuum cleaner, the more comfortable it is for them to work.

The highest vacuum

The Bort vacuum cleaner will easily cope with any construction debris, whether it be sawdust or concrete chips.

  • Average price: $164
  • Country: Germany (produced in China)
  • Air consumption: 50 l/s
  • Vacuum: 230 mbar
  • Power: 1400W
  • Dust container: 20 l; dust class: M
  • Filter cleaning: automatic
  • Weight: 8.34 kg
  • Hose: 2 m; Cable: 6 m
  • Noise level: 76 dB

Bort construction vacuum cleaner pleases with its characteristics. Power 1400 W, bagless design, vacuum 230 mbar.And even dust class M for suction of particles less than 2 microns from concrete, wood, bricks, ceramics. This is a good vacuum cleaner for home locksmith shops, cleaning after repairs, blowing garden paths, picking up small puddles of water. It even has a self-cleaning function that activates every time the filter becomes clogged. And all this pleasure costs less than $200.

You can't call Bort a professional model even with a stretch. There is an outlet for connecting power tools and synchronous operation with a vacuum cleaner. But it is weak, at 900 watts. The volume of the container for 20 liters is not enough for the construction site. The design is unstable - an empty vacuum cleaner easily turns over from the tension of the hose. Therefore, the reviews differ in content. People who expected to get a powerful construction vacuum cleaner for work for little money are disappointed. Buyers who have chosen the model for the garage, home repairs and other small jobs are satisfied with both the price and the quality. According to the characteristics, the model deserved additional points on five criteria at once - price, power, rarefaction, air consumption, automatic cleaning.

Pros and cons
  • Power 1400 W
  • Dust class M
  • Low price
  • Self cleaning filter
  • small container
  • Weak socket
  • Unstable construction

Inexpensive model for household needs

For construction, the Whirlwind will be rather weak, but at home it will become an indispensable assistant.

  • Average price: $127
  • Country: Russia (produced in China)
  • Air consumption: 40 l/s
  • Vacuum: 174 mbar
  • Power: 1500W
  • Dust container: 20 l; dust class: M
  • Filter cleaning: manual
  • Weight: 6.5 kg
  • Hose: 3 m; Cable: 5 m
  • Noise level: 75 dB

Whirlwind is a budget construction vacuum cleaner. Under $130, it combines power and functionality. You can not look at the power consumption of 1500 W. A vacuum of 174 mbar is not enough to clean up large debris, the draft is rather weak for construction. The model is more designed for buyers who are looking for a powerful alternative to a household vacuum cleaner. He copes with economic tasks. Collect spilled water, clean up the house after repairs or in the garage - for this, the suction power is enough.

Metal case, durable plastic - the quality is not bad. There is a built-in socket, adapters for power tools and a synchronous operation function. In small workshops, the vacuum cleaner copes with cleaning surfaces from dust by reverse blowing, cleaning sawdust, chips, and wet debris from the floor. The volume of the dust collector for 20 liters is enough for household purposes. For a large construction site, it will not be enough. According to the characteristics, the vacuum cleaner receives additional points in three parameters: power, price, lightness. Cons - it is difficult to find filters on sale, bags are poorly attached.

Pros and cons
  • Low price
  • Construction vacuum cleaner functions
  • metal case
  • Light
  • There are no filters for sale.

The vacuum cleaner of the German company Fubag is a set of necessary functions, neat assembly at a low price. Robust stainless steel tank, adjustable suction, collection of liquids, reverse blowing, power outlet. When working simultaneously with power tools, the vacuum cleaner turns off late to remove dust, sawdust or metal chips. The turn-off delay is not available in all expensive building models. Power consumption is 1400 watts. But the suction power is modest due to the low vacuum of 180 mbar.

Fubag will simplify cleaning in the garage, basement, small workshops, in the local area and after cosmetic repairs. With household and small construction debris, sand, dust from plaster, sawdust, he copes. The draft is adjustable, the kit includes the necessary nozzles, disposable and reusable bags. The manufacturer did not specify the volume level. Buyers consider the model noisy, put a big minus for it. Pluses in the form of additional points Fubag receives for the price, power and lightness.

Pros and cons
  • Affordable price
  • Off delay in synchronous operation
  • All the features you need
  • Power regulation
  • Noisy

  • Weight: 6 kg
  • Hose: 3 m; Cable: 4.5 m

A construction vacuum cleaner for when you need to meet a modest budget for a home workshop, garage or small repairs.You should not consider the Bison for construction or professional interior decoration. It does not withstand increased loads, the tank is only 20 liters, and the vacuum is not enough for heavy construction debris. Even the manufacturer honestly says that the model is designed for repairs at home or in the country, removing chips and dust while working synchronously with a power tool.

The Zubr has all the functions of building models: reverse blowing for drying paint and cleaning surfaces, collecting water, a plug socket. But the convenience of C grade. The filter is cleaned by hand, the bag does not fit snugly, dust gets inside the container. During operation, static electricity builds up. It's not dangerous, but annoying. But there are no better analogues for such a low price. We added additional points to the vacuum cleaner according to three criteria: lightness, power, low price.

Pros and cons
  • Low price
  • socket outlet
  • Blowing and collection of water
  • Light weight
  • Static electricity
  • Loose fit of the bag

Hammer is a purely Chinese vacuum cleaner. Do not expect something supernatural from him. But in terms of price-quality ratio, there are not so many competitors.For a small amount of about $ 180, buyers get a model with a power of 1400 W, with a thirty-liter tank, blowing, collecting liquid and an outlet for synchronous work with power tools. Vacuum is enough for cleaning dry and wet debris. The model does not reach the professional level. But it is powerful enough for cleaning rooms after repairs, working with a jigsaw, router or wall chaser.

A stainless steel tank is more reliable than plastic. At the bottom of the case there is a place to store nozzles. And here there are four of them: universal, semicircular, for seams, slotted. The vacuum cleaner is also useful for general house cleaning. Massiveness in it is combined with low weight and a long seven-meter wire. An extension cord is not needed, the room can be removed from one outlet. Hammer receives additional points on six criteria at once: weight, cord length, vacuum, price, dust container capacity and power. Minus - the filter must be cleaned manually, the kit does not include a reusable bag.

Pros and cons
  • high power
  • Low price
  • long wire
  • Stainless steel body
  • Manual filter cleaning
  • Chinese assembly

Automatic filter cleaning

The suction power does not drop even under heavy loads. The vacuum cleaner automatically cleans the filter during operation.

  • Average price: $290
  • Country: Germany (produced in China)
  • Air consumption: 35 l/s
  • Vacuum: 200 mbar
  • Power: 1250W
  • Dust container: 21 l; dust class: L
  • Filter cleaning: automatic
  • Weight: 9 kg
  • Hose: 3 m; Cable: N/A
  • Noise level: 78 dB

The BOSCH construction vacuum cleaner works with and without a dust bag.The model is described as professional, but does not reach this level in terms of power. The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for construction. The power of 1250 W is enough for cleaning after repairs, collecting chips and dust in the home workshop. The model collects dry and wet debris, thanks to the air flow up to 35 liters per minute, it captures even large fragments of cement, gypsum, wood. The self-cleaning function of the filters simplifies the work. As soon as the draft is reduced, the air flow temporarily changes direction, blowing through the blockage.

The socket for synchronous work with electric tools is built in the case. The functions of blowing and collecting liquids complement the functionality of a construction vacuum cleaner. The model is popular, has collected a lot of feedback from customers. In addition to the average mark, the Bosch vacuum cleaner receives additional points for a vacuum of 200 mbar and automatic filter cleaning. According to the characteristics of the vacuum cleaner corresponds to the ratio of price and quality. But there are little things that spoil the overall impression - you can feel the Chinese assembly. The quality of the plastic is not the best, the connections look unreliable.

Pros and cons
  • Automatic filter cleaning
  • Stable suction power
  • Synchronous operation with power tools
  • Liquid collection function
  • Unreliable connections
  • Weak plastic

Top 4. Nilfisk AERO 26-21 PC

Quiet operation

Nilfisk is no louder than a household vacuum cleaner, but it does an excellent job with construction debris.

  • Average price: $266
  • Country: Denmark (produced in Hungary)
  • Air consumption: 60 l/s
  • Vacuum: 210 mbar
  • Power: 1250W
  • Dust container: 25 l; dust class: L
  • Filter cleaning: semi-automatic
  • Weight: 9 kg
  • Hose: 1.9 m; Cable: 5 m
  • Noise level: 64 dB

The Nilfisk vacuum cleaner has standard features, but it has few competitors in terms of convenience. It works no louder than a household vacuum cleaner - 64 dB. Reduced suction power due to clogged filter is instantly restored by pressing the cleaning button. Cable winding system, space for nozzles, hose fixation simplify storage. There are all functions - blowing, collecting liquid, synchronous work with an electric tool in synchronous mode. The vacuum cleaner copes with construction debris and dust, keeps the working surface and air clean in workshops.

Nilfisk can be bought for repair and left for household purposes. The model is powerful and quiet. But for construction it is worth looking for other options. The hose and wire are short. If the room is large, you will have to use an extension cord. The 25 liter dust collector is not enough for large-scale construction work. But the quality does not fail - Hungarian assembly, durable plastic, reliable connections. And all this at a nice price. Plus, the model receives points for quiet operation, high vacuum and air consumption.

Pros and cons
  • Wire winding
  • Quiet operation
  • Semi-automatic filter cleaning
  • Versatility
  • Short hose and wire

Top 3. KARCHER WD5P

Best quality

Reliability is the main advantage of the KARCHER construction vacuum cleaner. Let it cost a little more than the rest of the rating participants, but it also breaks much less often.

  • Average price: $313
  • Country: Germany (produced in Romania)
  • Air consumption: 75 l/s
  • Vacuum: 220 mbar
  • Power: 1100W
  • Dust container: 25 l; dust class: L
  • Filter cleaning: semi-automatic
  • Weight: 8.7 kg
  • Hose: 2.2 m; Cable: 5 m
  • Noise level: 71 dB

It seems that according to the characteristics of Karcher does not reach the professional model. Power 1100 W, capacity 25 liters. But, according to reviews, it is clear that builders often use Karcher when decorating premises. The vacuum cleaner passes through itself 60 liters of air per second, the vacuum reaches 210 mbar - this is enough to suck up particles of concrete, plaster, sawdust. The model is useful in small workshops. The power socket automatically turns the vacuum cleaner on and off when working with power tools.

Reduced draft due to clogged filter is solved by pressing the cleaning button. Powerful air pulses knock out the dust and deposit it on the bottom of the container. The vacuum cleaner can work without bags, although they are included. In private houses and cottages, the blowing function will help out. It facilitates the cleaning of foliage from open verandas and paths. Karcher gets extra points from us for air consumption, vacuum and quiet operation. Users give high marks for reliability. The price is fully consistent with the quality. The equipment withstands even tough operation at a construction site. But the manufacturer did not finalize the design - a short hose and wire, the accumulation of static electricity.

Pros and cons
  • Filter cleaning at the touch of a button
  • Enhanced Reliability
  • Powerful suction
  • Synchronization with power tools
  • Short wire and hose
  • Discharges of static electricity

  • Hose: 3.5 m; Cable: 5 m
  • Noise level: 64 dB

With a power of 1000 watts, the Makita Construction Vacuum does a surprisingly good job of cleaning a house after a renovation. An air flow of 60 l/s and a vacuum of 210 mbar increase productivity. Sawdust, pieces of plaster, sand fly into the vacuum cleaner "with a whistle". As the filter becomes clogged, performance decreases. To do this, there is a self-cleaning button on the case. Pressing for 3-4 seconds restores suction power. The kit comes with bags, the vacuum cleaner works without them, but the filter quickly becomes clogged.

The housing has a built-in socket for connecting power tools. There is also a switch here. Pushing the button down starts synchronous operation. When you turn on the power tool, the vacuum cleaner starts automatically. This function can be used, for example, with a sawdust suction jigsaw. To do this, the set includes nozzles of three sizes for different tools. Also, the vacuum cleaner works in the mode of blowing and collecting liquids. Buyers often leave positive reviews, they think that for a price of about $ 250 this is a very good option. According to the characteristics, the model receives additional points on four criteria: for rarefaction, low weight, air consumption and quiet operation of 64 dB. A small minus - metal parts are sometimes unpleasantly pierced by static discharge.

Pros and cons
  • Quiet operation
  • Light
  • Semi-automatic filter cleaning
  • Blowing and collection of liquids
  • Static electricity
