You might think a wet/dry vacuum is only for the home workshop or garage, but you’d be surprised at the number of things it can do that ordinary vacuums can’t, from unclogging sinks to sucking out lint from your dryer exhaust pipe, cleaning carpets, removing debris from your patio or yard, cleaning out a charcoal grill and, of course, cleaning up massive liquid spills. Add suction power that outclasses most standard vacuum cleaners, and you can see why many are purchasing wet/dry vacuums for their houses.

If you’re ready to take advantage of what a wet/dry vacuum can offer, you’re in luck, as the Armor All AA255W Wet/Dry Utility Vac is now on sale for 22% off. Read on to learn about this vacuum’s features and why it’s a small but mighty powerful cleanup tool.

At just over 10 pounds and the size of a large pail, the Armor All AA255W is easy to pack away in a car trunk or in a closet (the included wheels and casters also make it easy to roll from room to room), but don’t let the compact size fool you — it’s motor can hit a peak of 2 horsepower, which is more than enough to clean up both dry and wet messes. The vacuum’s 10-foot power cord and 6-foot hose give you plenty of reach inside a room, and its 13 accessories, which range from extension wands to a crevice tool, a blower nozzle and dust, floor and detail brushes, are all you need for a variety of uses, whether it’s cleaning up crumbs in between seat cushions, vacuuming up liquid spills, car detailing, removing pet hair or even cleaning tiny vents and electronics. All the attachments feature strong suction — much stronger than you’d get with your standard cordless hand vacuum — with the small brush handy for cleaning tight areas like car consoles.

One of the best parts about this wet/dry vac is that there are slots in the back to organize all the accessories. The vacuum also comes with both wet and dry filters, so can easily switch them out depending on the job. The hose can swivel so you can bend it to access tight spaces without getting it all knotted up. This vacuum also works great as a blower; I’ve used the included needle nozzle to blow leaves off my driveway, blow liquids off surfaces to dry them off and even fan the flames on a charcoal grill.

Amazon users approve of the Armor All AA255W as a maneuverable, powerful vacuum, and for its current discount price, it’s even more of a must-buy. If you want a wet/dry vacuum with a multitude of uses, this is the one you need.
