Last reviewed June 14, 2026
TL;DR Corded 12-gallon wet/dry shop vac with manufacturer-stated 106 CFM (ASTM-tested, spec-only · no independent tool-review confirmation). Float shutoff and large drain port documented. Standard cartridge filter, no HEPA. Detachable blower converts one-handed to 210 MPH blower. Not UL or ETL listed · Double Insulated construction only.
Vacmaster states 106 CFM at the hose end per ASTM testing · spec-only, no independent confirmation. Filtration is standard cartridge plus foam wet filter (both included, not HEPA). Float shutoff and large drain port handle wet pickup; motor detaches one-handed as a standalone blower. Highly rated by a large owner base, with no documented wet-pickup failures.
Good fit for homeowners handling garage-floor debris, spills, or workshop cleanup · 12-gallon capacity reduces emptying trips and the detachable blower adds outdoor utility. Skip for fine-dust work from power sanding or grinding; a HEPA-rated extractor is better suited. Also skip if an independent US electrical safety listing is required.
No UL or ETL listing confirmed as of May 2026 · Double Insulated per the manual, not a substitute for independent certification. Dispose via municipal e-waste programs. No active CPSC recall.
No UL or ETL listing was found for the VBV1210. UL Product iQ and the Intertek ETL directory were searched on May 19, 2026, and returned no results for this model or Cleva North America vacuum products. The operator's manual states 'Double Insulated · Grounding Not Required,' which is a construction method, not an independent safety listing. There is no CE marking confirmed from a primary source either.
The VBV1210's motor unit releases from the drum canister with one hand and converts to a standalone blower. Blowing speed is rated at 210 MPH. This lets you use the unit to push debris · leaves, dust, garage floor grit · to a corner before vacuuming it up, without dragging the full drum around. The blower adapter included in the accessory set connects to the hose port for directed airflow.
No. The CPSC recall database was searched on May 19, 2026 · vacuum cleaner category and Vacmaster/Cleva North America name searches both returned no results for this model.
Vacmaster states 106 CFM at the hose end, tested per ASTM standards · that figure appears on the Amazon product spec infographic and the manufacturer's product page. No independent CFM measurement from a tool-review site (Pro Tool Reviews, Project Farm, Tool Review Zone) was found as of May 2026. The 5 peak HP figure in the name is a marketing number representing startup surge power · it is not a suction metric.
