Nilfisk Buddy II 18T Wet & Dry Vacuum | 18L | Built-In Power Tool Socket | 1200W

Nilfisk Buddy II 18T — Wet & Dry Vacuum with Built-In Power Tool Socket

The Buddy II 18T is the power tool user's vacuum. Where the standard Buddy II 18 is a capable wet and dry machine, the 18T adds one feature that changes how you work: a built-in 1100W electrical socket on the body of the vacuum. Plug your power tool directly into the machine, connect the hose to the tool's dust port using the included adapter, and the vacuum runs automatically as you drill, sand or cut — capturing dust at the source rather than letting it settle across the room.

It's the difference between cleaning up after a job and not creating the mess in the first place.

The Power Tool Socket — How It Works

The integrated socket on the Buddy II 18T is rated at 1100W, covering the majority of common power tools — drills, orbital sanders, jigsaws, circular saws and routers. Connect your tool's power cable to the socket on the vacuum body. Then connect the vacuum hose to your tool's dust extraction port using the included power tool adapter. When you switch on the tool, the vacuum activates simultaneously. When you stop, the vacuum stops. No separate switching, no trailing cables to a wall socket for the vacuum — everything runs from one point.

Key Features

1200W motor, 250W max suction: Strong enough for heavy workshop debris, fine dust, wet spills and outdoor clean-ups. The 200 mbar vacuum rating delivers consistent pick-up across all surface types.

18-litre container: Large enough for extended work sessions without constant emptying. Handles both dry dust and liquid recovery in the same tank — the standard wet filter protects the turbine when vacuuming liquids.

Blow function: Reverse the airflow to clear debris from hard-to-reach areas, clean filters, or blow out dust from tight spaces. A versatile addition to the standard vacuum mode.

4-metre hose + 6-metre power cable: Generous reach keeps the machine stationary while you work across a larger area. The 6-metre cable reduces the need for extension leads in most garage, workshop or room settings.

Four-wheel stability system: Two large rear wheels for movement, two front rotation wheels for steering. Stable on uneven workshop floors and manoeuvrable in tight spaces without tipping.

Built-in accessory storage: Onboard holder keeps hose, tubes and nozzles attached and ready — no separate bag or box required.

Ergonomic carry grip: Balanced handle makes the 5.5kg machine easy to carry between rooms, up steps, or between job sites.

What's in the Box

The Buddy II 18T is supplied with: filter kit, wet & dry nozzle kit, 2 tubes with parking clips, crevice nozzle (D36x200), power tool adapter, and dust bag. UK/IE 3-pin plug (BS 1363) — 220–240V, 50/60Hz. Ready to use straight out of the box.

Who Is This For?

The 18T is the right choice for anyone who regularly uses power tools at home — DIYers, renovators, joiners, tilers, plasterers and decorators working in domestic settings. It's equally at home in a garage workshop, on a building site, or in a domestic utility room that handles everything from muddy boots to sawdust. If you want a single machine that vacuums, handles spills, and integrates directly with your power tools, this is it.

If you don't need the power tool socket, the Nilfisk Buddy II 18 offers the same 18-litre capacity without the tool outlet at a lower price point.
