Nowadays the workshop is not the only place you will find a wet and dry carpet cleaner combination. As time has come and gone, technology continues to improve and now the screeching noises we remember so fondly are no longer associated with the sound of carpet cleaners.

Before you purchase a wet and dry combination carpet cleaner be sure to know some of the details regarding the vacuum. Wet and dry carpet cleaners come in different sizes as well as horsepowers that range between six to twenty-two gallons and one and a half to ten and half gallons. Throughout this article you will see how you can determine what capacity limit you should purchase to meet your basic needs.

A one and a half horsepower and a one-gallon tank describe the size of a wall mount vacuum cleaner that is used to pick up spills and easy to handle. Being able to hang the vacuum on the wall and out of your way is one of the nice features of the wall mount vacuum.

A six-gallon vacuum cleaner is considered great for small clean up jobs and can be easily manoeuvrable and kept in a closet than the larger models. Although, a smaller combination vacuum cleaner is more likely to fall over and are much louder. You will need to empty out the vacuum cleaner more often because of the size of the tank.

Usually you would find a higher capacity model in a workshop or garage because there is usually a lot more mess to be cleaned up. A higher capacity vacuum is a good choice for this work area because the tank does not have to be emptied as often.

When searching for the absolute best combination carpet cleaner based on your individual needs, you need to keep a watchful eye out for the following features and options:

There is a reusable filter that is rinsed when it is cleaned and has a larger area for filtration then the flat filter. This type is referred to as a Pleated Cartridge Filter. When switching from wet to dry vacuum, these filters do not have to be removed.

To prevent water from overflowing when the tank is full, the newer carpet cleaners now come with an automatic shut off device that turns the vacuum off when it detects that the water has reached the capacity within the tank.

Wide set wheels are important because they help to keep the vacuum cleaner balanced so that it doesn’t tip over. If you have a big front and/or backyard, some models of the larger carpet cleaners can be converted into a leaf blower too.
