Vacmaster VWM510 Wall Mount Wet/Dry Vacuum Review

by Mike Duncan

I’ve been through tons of different wet/dry vacs over the years but most of them just never lived up to the hype, and a good many of them simply broke down and died after only moderate use. I was finally beginning to think there simply weren’t any good consumer level wet/dry vacs out there, but that all changed when I found the Vacmaster VWM510 Wall Mount Vacuum a few months ago. Before I get into my review though, let me go over the specs real quick.

The Vacmaster VWM510 is a powerful consumer level wet/dry vac that is powered by a heavy duty industrial 2-stage 5 HP motor. It boasts an impressive 21 foot hose and a 20 foot power cord, which when combined give this vacuum exceptional reach both in the garage and out.

It also features a convenient remote control handle and all of the attachments you need for car detailing and general cleaning in and around the garage. It even converts to a blower to get rid of leaves. Finally, the entire unit including base, hose and accessories is compact and wall mountable, which keeps it out of the way until you need it.

My Experience with the Vacmaster VWM510

Alright now that the specs are out of the way, you’re probably looking for the answer to the million dollar question: how well does it work in the real world? The answer is that it works amazingly well! I’ve had this vacuum for about three months now and after putting it through its paces, I can honestly say it’s one of, if not the best wet/dry vacs I’ve ever tried.

I use it every weekend to detail both of our cars from end to end, cleaning air vents, upholstery, floor mats, seat crevices, trunks and all the other nooks and crannies that accumulate dust, debris and dirt. I’ve also used it to clean up wood chips and dust around my miter saw and even an inch of water after the washing machine overflowed and flooded our laundry room next to the garage. This vac performed flawlessly each and every time!

Pros

  • Extra-long hose and power cord (21’ and 20’ respectively)
  • Wet/dry capability and acts as a blower too
  • Compact design and wall mountable to save space
  • Tons of extra attachments for a variety of tasks
  • On/off remote control built right into the handle at the end of the hose

Cons

  • No wheels on the base, which would come in handy when it’s not mounted
  • Signals from garage door openers sometimes turn the vac on (leave it on neutral to eliminate this problem)
