Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner Sourcing Metabo AS 36-18 L 30 PC CC, 30 L, 18 V, Fleece Filter

The Sourcing Metabo AS 36-18 L 30 PC CC is a compact cordless wet & dry vacuum cleaner with a 30 L container and an 18 V battery power system. It is designed for both liquid and dry-solid pickup and features a fleece filter with a large surface area. The unit supports automatic start/stop when connected to compatible cordless tools (CordlessControl) and includes manual filter cleaning (PressClean). Its construction meets dust class L safety standards and it offers eco and boost modes to balance runtime and performance.

Advantages

This vacuum cleaner provides certified dust protection for light hazardous dusts (dust class L) and combines portability with a relatively large 30 L capacity. Integrated functions such as CordlessControl, PressClean manual filter cleaning and an automatic trailing mechanism for hose emptying simplify operation on job sites. The design includes basic antistatic measures, a splash- and dust-proof battery compartment, tool and accessory coupling for quick relocation, and compatibility with a multi-brand 18 V battery system.

Suitable for

• Workshops and maintenance jobs requiring cordless cleaning
• Construction or renovation sites for collecting dry debris and liquid spills
• Service technicians who need a compact, transportable wet & dry vacuum

When it may not be suitable

This model is intended for light industrial and commercial use and is certified for dust class L; it is not suitable for handling highly hazardous fine dusts that require higher protection classes (M or H). Also, because it is battery-powered and uses an 18 V system, run time depends on the capacity of the battery packs used and may be limited for very long, continuous tasks.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 30 L
• Power source: 18 V battery system (compatible with multi-brand CAS 18 V packs)
• Filter type: fleece filter (approx. 3500 cm² surface)
• Maximum vacuum: up to 14 kPa
• Cleaning modes: Eco and Boost
• Weight: 9.8 kg
• Dust classification: L (certified to relevant EU standard)

How to use

Connect an 18 V cordless tool or switch the vacuum on via its controls; when a compatible cordless tool is switched on while attached to the hose, CordlessControl will start the vacuum automatically. Select Eco mode for extended runtime or Boost mode for maximum suction. During breaks, activate PressClean to manually clean the filter using a strong airflow generated by the extraction unit. When vacuuming liquids the unit stops suction automatically at the maximum fill level. Empty the container and use the automatic trailing mechanism to clear the hose completely before storing.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended dust class: certified for dust class L — not suitable for M or H class hazardous dusts
• Battery compatibility: uses 18 V CAS multi-brand battery packs; runtime depends on battery capacity
• Weight and size: compact but weighs 9.8 kg — consider transport and storage needs

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate accessories that provide antistatic protection, monitor battery charge for longer jobs, and perform PressClean regularly to maintain filter performance and suction. For heavy-duty or prolonged applications consider larger-capacity systems or mains-powered vacuums.
