Dry-Only vs. Wet/Dry: How the 6 Canister Brands on This Page Compare
This page is Vacuum Warehouse's full commercial canister lineup: every dry and wet/dry model we carry from Centaur, Numatic Henry, Nilfisk, Makita, Powr-Flite and Tornado, in one place. The table below breaks down what each brand actually offers.
| Brand | Models on this page | Dry or wet/dry | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centaur | 11 models (Falcon-1/3/5, Silento 30-310, SL3-SL8) | 6 dry, 5 wet/dry | Widest lineup on this page, from entry-level Silento dry pickup to Falcon and SL6/SL8 wet/dry recovery |
| Numatic Henry | 11 models (Charles CVC370, George GVE370, Henry Petcare, James PSP series, PPR series, CV570, WV900) | 7 dry, 3 wet/dry, 1 extractor | Most models are dry pickup for daily housekeeping; the George GVE370 doubles as a carpet extractor rather than a straight vacuum |
| Nilfisk | 3 models (GD930 HSP, VP300, VP400) | 3 dry, all HEPA | The only brand here where every model carries HEPA filtration, including the 4-gallon GD930 HSP |
| Makita | 1 model (DVC155LZX2) | 1 wet/dry, cordless | The only cordless canister on this page, built for moving between rooms without a power cord |
| Powr-Flite | 1 model (Newton) | 1 dry, lightweight | Sized for single-room daily upkeep rather than heavy-duty jobs |
| Tornado | 1 model (TV 2 SS) | Stainless steel tank | The only canister on this page with a stainless steel body |
