Vacuum recommendations

I think I’ll get another Henry for the garage and throw the bag away. It seems to be getting good feedback. As I said in original post, our old one went up in a cloud of smoke. I borrowed F.I.L’s to finish the job, and his is a bag less Henry he keeps in the shed for cleaning up after woodturning.

I've got the cheeeeeeeeeap titan screwfix one, as somebody else said they are flimsy, but £30 for the little one, and it genuinely is very powerful, its downfall are the poor quality bags.

one plus is it also has blow function if your connecting to a chasing tool and are in a wind the labourer up mood

I've not seen or used any of the high end battery domestic vacuums, but I can't help thinking the more run of the mill version are not much of a step up from the old push "sweepers" our parents had as kids...

You mean a broom?

If you don't use a back then the cloth filter or whatever it is gets clogged up with dust.

That's probably what destroyed my Henry in the first place

Its a pig to clean out and wash.

I’m going to treat George to one of these when the paper ones run out.

Anybody ever come across one of these?

It looks like it would store very neatly on a van ect...

Ive got the dewal cordless, it’s good but not a real substitute.

I found a good site at the weekend for those interested. Was looking for parts to repair the work vacuum. Good prices for bags and spares with a good range.

Got the Milwaukee M18 wet and dry vac. Powerful but oh so noisy!!!!!.
Really need ear defenders if usinh for more than a minute at a time.
Got two Henrys as well as a Festool CTL Midi for my saws.
Henry will take anything that fits through the hose.

Nilfisk

Thought I’d resurrect this thread. Had a Nilfisk Aero 26 for about 18 month now. Brilliant bit of kit for dust and rubble also good for wet. Problem is that my Mrs has discovered how good it is and kicked the Dyson into touch.

Haha, the exact same happened with me. Bought Nilfisk Aero 26 and before I'd got it in the van she nabbed it and had to buy a 2nd one for work. Really good bit of kit for the money.

Have since upgraded the works one to Metabo ASR35 M Class, a totally different animal, although a lot more coin.

I bought a Bosch 18v hoover the other month which is perfect for the little bits in houses and it saves dragging my huge dust extractor around with me

if it's made by bosch, it's not a hoover. sama as a toyota is not a ford.

Bought some erbauer ext 18v cordless tools from screwfix, one of them being the mini Hoover- it's pretty impressive for cleaning up after drilling holes and other small jobs ( I do use it to clean the car too).
Otherwise I have a vtuf mini(25l) with a hepa bag- does me fine for small/medium domestic use and it's available in 110v
