About this product
The McGregor 16L Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner tackles spills, dust and debris across your home, garage or workshop. With 1300W of power, it handles wet messes like blocked sinks and dry dirt from post-DIY cleanups, and the blower function clears leaves from patios and driveways. It has a 16l capacity for dry use and 8l for wet, so you're not constantly stopping to empty it. The vacuum runs on mains power with a 5m cord, giving you plenty of reach without trailing extension leads everywhere.
It includes two filters - a cloth filter for dry debris and a foam filter for liquids. You can collect directly into the tank or use one of five disposable dust bags for easier disposal. Weighing 3.2kg, it's light to carry, and the sturdy handle makes moving it between rooms or to the garage easy. The 1.8m hose and three extension tubes provide good reach for ceilings and tight corners. It comes with a multi-floor cleaning head, crevice tool, upholstery nozzle, and on-board accessory storage. Running at 79 decibels, it's quieter than most wet and dry vacuums and works on hard floors, tiles, concrete and laminate.

Lightweight, easy-to-use vacuum with strong suction and good capacity. Works well on artificial grass and hardwood, also functions as a blower. Some concerns about flimsy extension tubes and hose storage.

Good value for outdoor use. It works well on artificial grass, picking up cat hair, dirt and small debris without damaging the grass. However, the suction isn't strong enough for carpets, and the plastic extension tubes feel flimsy..so I am not very happy .

Brilliant little cleaner well worth paying for.
powerful little vacuum that does a great job of keeping my home clean and it is so light and easy to carry about in my home. It has the added benefit of being able to use it as a blower by placing the flexible hose at the back of it and using it as blowing machine.

Does what I bought it for
Happy with my purchase so far I have only used it for cleaning up bits on the artificial grass ,we have lots of bits blowing off silver birch tree this time of year which is what I wanted it for. It doesn't pick up leaves, but it blows them so can blow them together and brush them up. Still to try it vacuing the car

Jumping the gun
This is too soon to review the product. I only bought it yesterday and have assembled it and switched it on. It works and seems fine. Can’t say any more at this point.
Felix
Cheap and cheereful
I am very satisfied with the overall performance and effectiveness of this vacuum cleaner. However, one notable limitation is the design of the hose, which does not have a designated holder to keep it upright during storage. This makes it less convenient to store and handle when not in use.

From the details in the manual I can advise:

Step 4 - Installing the Dust Bag (Dry Use Only)
• Your vacuum cleaner can be used with or without dust bags. To extend the life of your
filter and maintain optimal performance, we strongly recommend using a dust bag.
• Dust bags help to capture fine dust particles, reducing the load on the filter and ensuring
your vacuum cleaner operates efficiently for a longer period.
• Ensure that the dust bag is properly installed before use by fully fitting the dust bag flange
onto the inlet stub, taking care not to damage the bag (Fig. 1)
Thank you for using Q&A
