Vacuum recommendations

Dewalt do a 18v hoover it’s great for tidying up in houses.

+1 for that too... It's small to carry around easily, has mains or battery option and works well. For bigger cleanups, I've got a big 'shop-vac' style one that I use with a mega long hose.

One of these is brilliant: Karcher WD 3 P Wet and dry vacuum cleaner — Brycus - https://www.brycus.co.uk/karcher-wd-3-p-wet-and-dry-vacuum-cleaner-b61e7/?otcountry=GB&gclid=CjwKCAiA7t3yBRADEiwA4GFlI2zteQknn04JuRWG1CsrN9juyur7lLv5DjM4FJQNIswftT0xCABq7xoCL-0QAvD_BwE power take off will take any tool we use, plus it starts automatically when you switch the tool on and carries on for a few seconds after you switch the tool off so clears the hose on the tool.

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.

Do you use the fleece bags or just rely on the filter ( if you are chasing) I’ve always used the bags but think they clog easy .

I find by the time they are clogged they need emptying anyway.

Use the bags. Only time I have clogging trouble is when I get over enthusiastic with the size of rubble I’m vacuuming

After reading a post about what people thought about Mr Dysons vacuum cleaners, I need to ask what other people use.
We have used a Dyson in the house, and a bagless Vax. We used to have a Henry but that got relegated to the garage for cleaning the cars etc, but it succumbed to a smoking related illness.
I'd like to keep one in the van for those little domestic jobs, rather than using the customers. Any ideas?
We have a B&D Dustbuster but that cant pick up a grain of salt.
Something rechargeable would be handy. Cordless Dyson? or GTech?

I use a Henry, very reliable

Karcher - very good. And one can buy the spares (I use espares) for items which wear out.

In the home - SEBO - again all the spares are available and it is easy to service. It also has three stages of air filtration. Rather heavy though 'cos it is made of thick plastic and meaty metal.

I'm using a mixture at the moment, I'm seriously tempted by the Hilti cordless vac for small jobs. I have found over the last few years, I've been using my large Hilti Vac which incidentally is a re branded nilfisk alto just in red, then the backup is Henry lol.
