Vacmaster Blue Line 12-Gallon* 5 Peak HP† Wet/Dry Vacuum with Detachable Blower VBV1210

The Vacmaster VBV1210 is a 12-gallon wet/dry vacuum powered by a 5 peak HP motor designed for workshop, garage, and yard cleanup. It handles bulk liquid spills as well as heavy dry debris, giving homeowners and DIYers a versatile tool for demanding cleanup projects.

Performance relies on a 106 CFM airflow system that pulls debris into the tank without clogging. When outdoor debris accumulates on driveways or patios, the motor housing detaches with a one-hand release to function as a handheld leaf blower capable of air speeds up to 210 MPH. Total mobility is supported by wide-stance casters and a balanced top handle, while the combined 22-foot reach of the hose and power cord lets you cover large work areas without constantly switching outlets.

A few operational limits stem from the overall design. The combined 22-foot cleaning reach is split between the power cord and hose, but the listing does not state the exact length of each separate piece. Additionally, storing a 12-gallon canister unit requires substantial floor or shelf space when not in use.

Verdict: This model is an ideal pick for home workshop owners who need robust suction power alongside a high-speed blower. It effectively combines wet pick-up, dry cleanup, and yard clearing into a single unit.

How do you empty collected liquids from the vacuum?
The unit is built with a large drain port at the bottom of the 12-gallon tank. This lets you empty liquid contents quickly without having to lift or tip the entire machine.

What accessories are included in the package?
The package comes with 11 accessories, which include an air/noise diffuser and a blower adapter. The vacuum body features dedicated onboard storage slots to keep all of these accessories and the power cord neatly organized.
