Usually $99. This one is the Power Take Off version which means that it activates if there is load put on by another tool.

  • Power Take Off Socket
  • 20L Stainless Steel Tank
  • Wet & Dry Vacuuming
  • Blower Function
  • Space Saving Accessory Mount

This Ozito Wet & Dry Vac with power take off socket is ideal for cleaning dirt or liquid from around the garage, workshop or patio. With castors for greater mobility, and an easy transport carry handle, it’s great for cleaning up around the home and shed after renovations or DIY projects.

The power take off function automatically starts the vacuum when a connected power tool is switched on; simply plug the power tool into the integrated power socket and use the vacuum for dust extraction while you work. Wood shavings or leaves can also be blown into a pile for easy removal by connecting the hose to the blower port on the rear of the motor.

Other features include an easy clean stainless steel tank for durability and strength, a space saving accessory mount and a cable bracket to keep cables neat when not in use. The included floor tool attachment can be used on tiles and hard floors, whilst the crevice tool allows you to vacuum in hard to reach areas.

The box says it has a max suction of 180 millibar.

      The Ozito one is probably no different, but I have had a bad experience with the Aldi vac. The seal at the bottom of the drum rusted out after a few months - despite proper care - rendering the entire unit useless and ended up on hard rubbish.

      • DoctorCalculon on 12/03/2021 - 11:17

        ALDI tend to change models / manufacturers every year.
        I am pretty sure this is the first time I have seen this product under the FERREX brand.

        Nonetheless, it could be equally dodgy.

        • harro112 on 12/03/2021 - 11:39

          Fwiw Aldi have moved heaps (if not all?) of Workzone power tools under the ferrex brand

            +1

            @harro112: That's right. Last year, it was the Workzone brand and hence different supplier.
            Regardless, they are all made in China with comparable quality.

      • c64 on 12/03/2021 - 11:29

        they are juggling the power. 2400w total, 1200w motor + 1200w power take-off vs 1250w motor + 1150w power take-off

        but nearly twice the capacity (35L vs 20L)

  • pdtmathieson on 12/03/2021 - 10:24

    this think is awesome.
    I have the one for $65 that doesn't have the toll-power-on thing.
    +1 over aldi as bags are readily available at Bunnings.
    I got this over the Ryobi one as Ozito bags are cheaper.

    I absolutely abuse this is guy and it still performs amazingly.

    As with an Vac, just need to replace the bags regularly.

    • pdtmathieson on 12/03/2021 - 10:41

      How much is a bad and how often do you replace?

      • ShortyX on 12/03/2021 - 10:43
        +5

        You don't need to use the bag all the time. I've never used the bag and just empty the drum.

        • Logical on 12/03/2021 - 11:04
          +5

          agree, I have had my ozito wet and dry for around 6 years and never used a bag…. just use the paper filter included (and haven't changed that either). I have used it for wood shavings, plasterboard dust, concrete dust etc.

    • rifter on 12/03/2021 - 10:47

      So tell me how the bags perform when sucking up damp or wet material.

      • singlemalt72 on 12/03/2021 - 10:55
        +1

        You don't use a bag in the wet mode. As stated you can do the same in dry mode, but be prepared to clean the filter a lot more often.

        • placard on 12/03/2021 - 11:03
          +1

          Correct - wet mode uses a different filter and just goes into the metal drum. Rinse this out when done.

          Dry mode uses a different filter in which you can use the bag as optional. I choose to so I don't have to clean the filter more often. Bags are only a few dollars. I just remove the bag when using it in wet mode.

    • ShortyX on 12/03/2021 - 10:48

      Yeh we have too many vacs at home and nowhere to store em. Tried to abuse this unit to death but it still survives. Keeps going, nearly invincible. Sucks everything and I leave it dirty, e.g. never clean it and still delivers. Gets left outside as well.

    • WT on 13/03/2021 - 13:57

      pretty much all the bags are the same. I use ozito in an old ryobi before they went baby poop green

  • wildweasel on 12/03/2021 - 10:43

    Can we use it inside the house ? Any reviews? Stick vacuums are too expensive and hasn't been sufficient for us.

    • placard on 12/03/2021 - 10:46
      +6

      No, these are not really designed for indoors. They don't have the HEPA filtration or have proper dusting tools/floor attachments. Great for garages, cars and wet vacuuming. But I would not use it inside. Plus these vacuums are usually very noisy.

      • GregFiona on 12/03/2021 - 10:52

        can these be used to clean the BBQ?(ash and pieces of charcoal, not hot of course)

        • Muzeeb on 12/03/2021 - 11:15

    • ShortyX on 12/03/2021 - 10:46

      The filter may not be good enough to be used indoors. It might be worth buying a decent corded Miele or Dyson.

      • Zachary on 15/03/2021 - 20:05

        Kirby……does everything a Dyson can do but better……or so they say…

      • DoctorCalculon on 15/03/2021 - 20:42

        The ALDI one has a HEPA filter. So, can it be used indoors for vacuuming (e.g. wet carpet cleaning)?

    • dealmaker on 12/03/2021 - 10:50
      +2

      Yes this would be fine as your normal vacuum as long as you are ok with the disadvantages mentioned by others.

    • Cozzie on 12/03/2021 - 16:13

      I had one of these in a student share house. Provided you don't need HEPA, it's brilliant.

      On the other hand, the Bunnings one is at Bunnings and is easily found at Bunnings without driving to all the other Bunnings to see if those Bunningses have it.

    +2

    I own one of these also and it's EXCELLENT. If it broke tomorrow I'd definitely go and buy another one.

    The only thing I'd really, really like is if the bag could be emptied and replaced. Mine's usually full of sawdust and shavings which I put straight into the garden. It'd be easier if the bag could be opened and emptied more easily. Still, small price to pay.

    • bargainshooter on 12/03/2021 - 10:51

      • impoze on 12/03/2021 - 10:52

        would block up the motor.

        I made a pretty simple DIY dust extractor with a pail bucket and two 45-degree pipes.

        Plenty of videos on youtube to make your own.

            @whitelie: yeah for wet suction since no dust to clog up the filter

            +2

            @whitelie: You can use it without the collector bag for dry vacuuming. There is a blue filter cover that sits over the motor and you can just empty the drum. I've never used a collector bag.

        • blitz on 12/03/2021 - 11:55

    • bamzero on 12/03/2021 - 11:29

      If you're using as a tool vac, definitely look at putting a dust collector in line before it.

      You can build your own with a bucket and some pipe or get something like this. (Gone up a bit since I bought one, was only about $18 back then).

      You won't need a bag any more and won't get a spec of sawdust in the vacuum.

      • NigelTufnel on 12/03/2021 - 11:36

        I bought one of these, but trying to find the fittings to connect to the vac and tools is proving difficult, as the cyclone has big 50mm connections…

  • dbglt on 12/03/2021 - 10:48

    • TheLurker on 12/03/2021 - 10:57
      +1

      I used mine yesterday to suck up spiders, webs, some leaves, mud wasp nests, etc. Worked really well. I was using the bag as no moisture where I was. If lots of leaves and you didn't use a bag, I think you'd need to clear the motor filter cover fairly often as leaves would be sucked up to it (use without bag intended for water which is heavier). I haven't tried dry leaves without bag but others here may be able to comment?

    • Genepi on 12/03/2021 - 15:01

      Yes I use mine for possum poo, cobwebs, and small leaves. Big leaves and sticks clog it up but my process is pick up the big stuff by hand (or with a brush and shovel) and this vac will clean up the rest.

    The only thing is that the Ozito one doesn't have an in-built drainage plug, which would be useful when cleaning liquid

    • Logical on 12/03/2021 - 11:08

      the plug hole thread would be covered in soot after a few uses and before you know it would leak. I prefer to tip out the drum as easier and faster

  • TheBean on 12/03/2021 - 10:58

    These are great but also recommend the battery ones which make life a lot easier without the cord. One 4mah batt usually lasts me about an hour only though.

        • banana365 on 12/03/2021 - 15:36

          It can't turn on automatically when you turn on your power tools though can it. That's the great feature of this one, otherwise it's just a basic vacuum.

    • pdtmathieson on 12/03/2021 - 11:31

    • DoctorCalculon on 12/03/2021 - 11:23

      It is rated 1250W. If it sucks too much power your switchboard RCD will trip.

      • Steptoe on 12/03/2021 - 13:07

        Most GPO’s would be on a16A breaker. The CB should trip is current is exceeded, not the RCD.

        • DoctorCalculon on 13/03/2021 - 11:41

          I stand corrected.

          RCD = Residual Current Device — Designed for human safety, i.e. switching off current flow if someone were to touch a live wire.
          CB = Circuit Breaker — Disrupt the circuit to prevent damage caused by overcurrent.
