NaceCare CVC 370 Charles Wet/Dry Vacuum – 1200W, 95 CFM, 4-Gal, 19 lbs
NaceCare CVC 370 Charles: Compact Wet/Dry Vacuum for Schools and Auto Detailing
The CVC 370 Charles is NaceCare's smallest wet/dry canister vacuum — 19 lbs, 4-gallon polypropylene tank, and a 1200W bypass motor producing 95 CFM and 100" of water lift. Filtration is 98.6% at 0.5 microns, and the ball-float wet shut-off protects the motor during liquid recovery. At 61 dB(A) and with a 42' power cord, it runs in occupied classrooms and automotive service bays without noise restriction concerns. The A21 kit provides tools for wet pickup, dry vacuuming, and narrow-gap cleaning out of the box.
Compact Output for Portable Applications
- 1200W bypass motor — produces 95 CFM and 100" water lift, sufficient for wet pickup on hard floors and light carpet
- 98.6% filtration at 0.5 micron — captures fine dust from sanding, grinding, and automotive work without clogging
- Ball-float wet shut-off — blocks motor inlet when tank fills to prevent liquid ingestion
- 4-gallon polypropylene tank — lightweight and chemical-resistant for automotive chemical and cleaning-solution exposure
- 42' power cord — covers a full automotive service bay from one outlet position
Schools, Automotive Service, and Facility Maintenance
The CVC 370's 19 lb weight and polypropylene construction make it practical for applications where portability and chemical resistance matter more than tank capacity. In automotive detailing, it moves between vehicle bays in seconds and handles both dry debris and wet rinse water from interior cleaning. In school custodial programs, the 61 dB(A) noise level stays below classroom thresholds during occupied hours, and the 42' cord covers standard classroom dimensions from a single hallway outlet. The ball-float wet shut-off is critical in any environment where the operator might turn attention away from the machine mid-task — it prevents motor damage automatically when the 4-gallon tank fills.
