Twenty-five litres and a filter you clean by pressing a button instead of by hand.
The bottom line The sensible middle of the WD range: the button that cleans the filter is worth more than the extra five litres.
The WD 5 P is where the range stops being about drum size. Twenty-five litres, 1 100 W, an appliance socket — and a flat pleated filter with a cleaning function.
Every workshop vacuum loses suction as its filter loads, and the usual response is to blame the motor. A cleaning function pulses the pleats clear at the press of a button, so the machine recovers without being opened and without you handling a filter coated in brick dust. On a long job it removes the interruption entirely.
A flat pleated filter of this generation stays in the machine for wet pick-up, so there is no swap and nothing to forget. Check your manual once before the first wet job — soaking a filter that was not meant for it is the standard way to ruin one on the first day.
L-class. Sawdust, garden debris, workshop mess and water: yes. Plaster, concrete and MDF: no, whatever the drum size. The dust that matters is the part you cannot see, and an L-class cartridge passes a share of it back into the room.

It knocks accumulated dust off the pleats with a pulse of air, so suction returns without opening the machine and without touching a filter that is covered in whatever you just picked up. On fine debris that is the difference between one continuous job and three interruptions — the filter, not the drum, is what usually stops a workshop vacuum.
For a car and a garage floor, yes, honestly. The drum size matters when you are picking up water or a genuine building mess; the rest of the time it is a storage problem. Choose on hose length, socket and filter handling first, and treat volume as a tiebreak.

The sensible middle of the WD range: the button that cleans the filter is worth more than the extra five litres.
Regular workshop use with power tools, and wet clean-ups big enough that a 17-litre drum would mean emptying twice
