Have the smaller one, great for unblocking drains too.
Bought a Bissell style attachment with the brush, didn't fit either. Had to use an adaptor (happened to have one that fit)
How do you use it to unblock drains?
Like a big electric plunger. Use something to get a good seal over the drain, I used some soft foam with a hole in the middle on the end of the hose. Turn it on, slap it down for a split second and it should dislodge whatever is down there otherwise repeat.
Just be careful if your drain is full as the sudden inrush of water can spray around in the vacuum bucket and get sucked through. Maybe a good idea to put an old towel in there or something to baffle it.@Ekimus: I guess either way could work. I think it really depends where the blockage is and having enough water in the pipe between it and the drain you are vacuuming. Of course blowing air down the drain could cause the water to come up through another connected drain too.
It was quite by accident when I did it. Garage sink has a pipe that runs a long way to the other side of the house and I think blockage was way down the other end. Water was sitting at sink drain level and I just wanted to clear out the S bend so I could open it up. Put the vacuum on it and before I knew it was already unblocked.
@bamzero: Thanks for your reply………….I was going to try it on my slow running kitchen sink but we've tracked the issue down to the partially blocked dishwasher hose and sinks back to normal. So 'phew', but always good to know other possible DIY solutions 😁
See if you can make a DIY adaptor from PVC fittings or poly pipe
So I had the car cleaning kit from a dyson, but the dyson died and we bought a Ryobi similar to this as a replacement.
The dyson accessories aren't compatible with the Ryobi because they have the same tube diameter and you can't fit one into the other.
I ended up getting an adapter 3D printed, it's just a 20cm "tube" where both end have a diameter of 5.5cm and they tapper down to 4.5cm in the middle.
Maybe you can do something similar for the accessories you bought to fit on your vacuum.Or just cut a short section off one or the other's tube, hit it with a heat gun, then force it over the cold tube thereby enlarging it. Turn around, do the same the other end.
Get yourself an Ender 3v2 on the next special and print yourself one ;)
These fit mine: https://www.bunnings.com.au/powerfit-35mm-claw-nozzle_p00358…
The vacuum should have come with a short silver tube that allows it to fit onto the hose

How would this go against the Bissell SpotMate that regularly gets posted here?
I've been using the SpotMate at home for pet stains but feel like it's a bit small. Wondering if this would do a better job, suction wise and to cover more area.
Thanks for any advice!
Don't have the Bissell, but have the smaller Ozito. Does a decent job pulling out water, but doesn't come with any attachments suited for it plus there is no spray. Having to manually spray with a bottle is a PITA. I bought an attachment like the Bissell one to use with it, so not really covering more area than the Bissell would. I think there is wider attachments on eBay though.
Thanks for the reply.
So this is good on suction you reckon? Just the included head isn't suitable for sucking up carpet soakings and stuff?
Also, from what I understood, you found a seperate spraying attachment for this to make it easier? I never used anything before the SpotMate so I don't really know how had it is not having one. But is handy I guess now thinking about your situation.. 😅
I'm really just trying to perfect my cleaning regime when it comes to my pet situation. We regularly nurse kittens so it's almost a constant issue in our household.. I currently now just heavily pre-soak with water, small sections for 10 seconds and go over the section slowly with the wide head and repeat until it stops sucking a yellowly mixed liquid (the see-through head makes this soo handy). Then use all my spot stain liquid in the tank for one last quick spray on all the spots, have a smoke break and suck up all the spots to finish.
I'm really just looking for something to speed up the sucking up process.. 😅 This looks like it may suck up a lot better than the SpotMate and also handy with the blower feature since I have nothing else of the sort around the house. And is a lot cheaper than the SpotMate was.. 😅
I don't have anything to compare to but suction seems pretty good to me. Going over areas that feel dryish and it still manages to pull liquid out of somewhere.
If you're doing large areas, I guess one advantage is you probably wouldn't have to empty the bucket as often with the Ozito but yeah it only comes with the standard floor head you see in the pic.
I only use it for small spots so just soak with a spray bottle but having a proper spray pump would make things much easier (and probably more consistent).
@bamzero: Thanks for the help! I put through an order!
What do you use now to apply liquid? I'm going to put my SpotMate in the garage to dedicate to the car that doesn't get used much.
@WasBargain: Geez, who's on a mission to neg all my comments on this page…
Anyway, I'm just using a spray bottle at the moment. Only doing small spots so getting by with it.
Initially I was looking at one of these wide attachments before I ended up getting the Bissell one since it had the brush built in. Just noticed can get the whole thing with spray and trigger if you were to rig up an electric pump to it. Almost the cost of the vacuum itself though :D
I had a Bissell spotclean for detailing car interiors and returned it in favour of this. The suction is much stronger but you have to manually apply the cleaning solution with a spray bottle or upholstery brush.
For nozzles you have a couple options:
https://www.bunnings.com.au/powerfit-35mm-claw-nozzle_p00358…
https://mdcarcare.com.au/product/wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner-wate…The clear nozzle is better because you can see the colour of the water you are extracting as an indicator of how clean the carpet is.
Awesome, thanks for the links too! 😁 I'm definitely a fan of the clear head. I've put through an order to pickup tomorrow. Now to order that clear head, and when it turns up, retire the SpotMate for the car as it doesn't get used/dirty too much. 😁
Geebus $30 for a clear head that sells for like $5. Should be $20 max
Hey mate. Have seen great reviews for the MD Car Care nozzle. Have you tried this in this Ozito vacuum and does it work okay?
This One ?
- https://mdcarcare.com.au/product/wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner-wate…Should work… (might get one myself!)
@GC67: Yep this one. Had awesome feedback from users on one of the very popular car detailing group on Facebook
You can get the exact same thing from overseas sellers on various marketplaces which is where I got mine from.
Yes it fits when you use the silver nozzle adapter that should have come with the Ozito.
It works fine for occasional use with a spray bottle and drill brush, if you're going pro you'll want a proper extractor with built-in sprayer. Those start at around $500 though
Yeah, going directly 404s. But if you go through the website via the SKU, it works.
Their website/server is terrible. The other day I realized if I click the same link 14 times in quick succession I'll eventually get one of those pages to load. Until then you get the claim the item doesn't exist and the sausage sanger photo.
Ryobi same price. Unsure if this is that great of a deal
Ryobi Model is 15L
According to their respective manuals the Ryobi has slightly less suction. 150mbar to the ozito 160mbar
Anyhoo - I have one and can vouch for its usefulness at this price - We use it in our Plant Shops.
Lots of dirt, dust, water, etc.Never failed.
What’s it’s regular price?
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1250w-20l-wet-and-dry-vacu…
The link is correct,its just when you visit via the link, its not showing for some reason.
But if you were to go to Bunnings website and search 0315988, It comes up , then click on the item.
Great product and does the job perfectly.
Just note the filters deteriorate and getting replacements are a pain. You have to special order them at Bunnings for $5 a pop - and they are "unavailble" a lot of the time.
Do they have a generic filter that fits it? Mine is a Ryobi and the filter I got last time was a generic that did fit a few different brands.
I reckon a lot of the brands are the same parent company and bags filters etc sold under a different generic brand compatible across brands. Like all the accessories are powerfit brand.
This one has a small fabric bag with elastic around the top. I checked multiple bunnings and none on the shelves would fit - or were remotely similar. Asked multiple staff too and hence ended up with the special order. So if there is one from another brand that fits, they don't stock it on shelves either.
Wasn't this previously $49? I ended up giving it to a friend and buying the PXC version for its better filter attachments and convenience when vacuuming the car, and an upgraded head. Highly recommended for the price!
Do you find the suction on the PXC strong enough? I have tried this https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-10l-cordless-wet-a… and found the suction fairly anemic, enough for a spot clean in a pinch, but not something I'd like to do a car with regularly. What has your experience been with the larger unit?
The model you refer to is less powerful. The shop-vac style version is still, not as powerful as it's corded counterpart however, the difference isn't as much as one would think and the filter in the PXC is much higher quality than the corded version. Changing the head as suggested by some reviewers on the Bunnings website indeed made a significant difference on carpet (not so much on hard floors).
Although I wish it was MORE powerful, it's proven adequate as my only vacuum and, overall, I'm happy with it at it's price point (I think I paid about $70 excluding batteries). I don't recommend using less than the 4.0Ah batteries. The suction will decrease as the battery drains, so I always vacuum on a full charge.
Anyone used this to clean usual household carpets? Works?
It's not commercial grade carpet cleaning, but I have used it to clean my room after applying carpet foam. Just make sure you have the filter/bag inserted for wet function
Have had this unit for the past couple of years, after having to replace a dead Ryobi which only lasted 6 months.
Been going strong as my garage general workshop vac, and occasionally connecting it to my woodworking tools (mitre saw & table saw), and once helping unblock a dishwasher pipe. It's crazy loud tho.
Could some science person confirm or deny this please? I'm wanting to buy commercial triple motor wet n' dry vacuum but that costs alot of money. Would performance be the same I bought 3x of these and connected up the hoses in parallel to one hose?
I understand that connecting them in parallel should give me more CFM… and connecting them in series should give me a higher level of vacuum.
Thanks!
Awesome device, I love mine. I've got the smaller one (12L vs 20L). Same power but easier to pack away: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1250w-12l-stainless-wet-an…
Yeh, was looking to get the smaller one but it's the same price as the 20L.
Less suction at 140mbar vs 160. Good option for some though cause the OP looks massive
Your ad said you do wet work?
i think he had wet dream being the best ozbargainer
I used the link to click and collect.
It is still working for me…. in QLDIs this any good as a normal vacuum for residential carpet use or would one of the Miele/Electrolux be better?
No. The suction head tool and plastic pipe would make it a horrible experience in the house. Perfect if you live in the garage though.
These are fantastic for home use.
They are better then Miele/Electrolux in many ways.
I have a larger Ryobi one which is very similar to ozito, with a power head for carpets. It shits over our old Miele and Dyson. It has more suction, the head is powered by suction so it never burns out like the ones with seperate motors. (Looking at Dyson who atleast sent us replacement heads).
The long hose is amazing, my elderly cleaner loved it's because you don't need to bring the vaccum in to the bedrooms you can just walk around the bedroom with the hose leaving the vaccum in the hall way. You can buy a power head accessory that works wonders on capert. The bigger ones also have fantastic wheels and roll down the hall way very easily.. it always felt like we where dragging the Dyson and the Miele was no better. Our Miele had big wheels at the back and small ones at front felt like it was never facing the right direction.
My cleaner loved it so much she went out and purchased one.
I frequently use the vaccum outside to blow away leaves and then vaccum up dirt and debris in our cemented areas.
My misses would have a meltdown if I used the Miele for half the stuff I use the shop vaccum for.
The big downside is it doesn't have a retractable cable, I miss this I hate winding up the cable. The other downside is I'm buying bags again… But the bags are generic and dirt cheap. Also these are super loud, this is probably just a trade off of more power makes noise.
Our whole vaccum setup with power head, vaccum, extra bags and a few accessories cost less then the a single Dyson accessory we paid for.
Dyson sits out in the shed misses won't let me throw it away cause we spent so much money on it but we don't use it anymore…
The other downside is the vaccum tube has a small bit of rust on the inside it's not a problem now but will probably need replacing… Probably my fault I've vaccumed up heaps of wet stuff and rarely dried or cleaned it.
What are you banging on about?
This ozito version has hardly any of those features (except the loud noise).
This is completely false.
I have both this ozito and a Miele bagged animal model (red one)
The suction is that much stronger on the Miele, I don't even touch my wet and dry.
What's the normal price?
$58.99
$79. This version does not have the power take off where it can turn on when you plug in another tool into it.
I recently used a mates Ryobi vac that has the power take off whilst using an orbital sander and it was surprisingly useful.
Which version has the power take off function? Hopefully not too expensive, as i do need one for woodwork tools.
Thanks OP! purchased for pick up at at my local. Destroyed a good Dyson with a home/granny flat extension vacuuming concrete / brick dust etc, so needed a cheap 1 for the garage.
Would have thought dyson can handle all that, maybe just have to change/wash the filters.
Dysons are great for household dust but fine construction dust will shorten their life. The filter lets some through and it gets into the motor plus all the passages in the cyclones can clog.
I take it this vacuum can be used to suck yellow sands leftover in a garage floor?
yes
Anyone know how much horsepower it is? the watts convert to roughly 2 hp but on other shopvacs they say similar wattage numbers with higher hp numbers
Conservation of energy states that you cannot get more energy than you consume. By running a 1250W electric motor the theoretical maximum power you can get is 1250W, i.e. 1.68 hp. In practice it is less than that because of lost energy in the form of heat.
Ozito sucks
Of course it sucks, it’s a vacuum cleaner
Thanks, op. gr8 for wet jobs.
I’d much rather a wet job than a dry one
anyone recommend something stronger than this
The cheap [bosch] (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/bosch-universalvac-15) is far better than this. Even at full price (>$160) it's a great deal and competes with vacuums at 3-4 times the price for equivalent airwatts.
To further cheapsk8's comment:
Ozito vs Bosch
Airflow = 32L/s vs 65L/s
Max suck pressure = 160mbar vs 240mbar
Airwatts = 195watts vs 250watts
Hi guys we have inherited a stupid dishwasher called Technika. It doesn’t clean up compared to 15 year old dishwashers. When I opened the filter I can see some stagnant water. Not sure if that’s normal.
1) I plan to suck the water with this vacuum cleaner is that possible?
2)So for garage patio cleaning which will pick up small stones etc can this machine be used?
3) Is there any settings to click from going from dry clean to wet? Or it doesn’t matter?
also acts as a water trap because the grey water goes to your sewerage network, it’s like an s trap on a sink …. you would be pumping after each dish wash cycle …. my de longi is the same, that that bit of water under the filter.
Oh. Does that mean the stagnant water when you open up the filter is normal and no need to dry it out?
The dishwasher no matter what I’m trying isn’t cleaning up the dishes or cutleries the way my previous 15 year old dish washer did.
Is it because it’s a no name brand called Technika?I would say quite normal, our Mieles have historically also had that standing water when the filter is removed. The question is, does that water look clean to you? Because generally that is the last bit of water from the rinsing cycle, so should not have too many food scraps or detergent.
What you can do if you are unsure, is you can add a bit more water into your dishwasher, start the cycle, pause after you hear the pump stops running initially and then open your dishwasher. If the excess water you added has drained, then you have nothing to worry about.
Re-small stones, over the weekend I vacuumed up my synthetic turf, no problems picking up smallish stones.
Re wet/dry, you have to replace the filter, which involves opening up the vacuum. No easy way around this unfortunately.
bought one to wash the car carpet
Does the job well for the price.
I have however been looking for an attachment to clean upholstery/ car seats. Ordered two (AliExpress/Amazon) but they did not fit. Has anyone been able to source one for this vacuum that fits?
