Portuguese term or phrase: Aspiradora com filtro de água
I am translating the Portuguese (Eu) instruction manual of a vacuum cleaner into British English.
The name of the product is 'Aspiradora com filtro de água' and I don't have any specific instruction on how to translate it.
Would it be more appropriate to opt for a literal translation: 'Water Filter Vacuum Cleaner' or opt for the more generic 'Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner'?

The product is the following: http://flama.pt/produto/aspirador-filtro-agua-1600w-1667fl/
