Vacuum cleaner/ Dust extraction

[Peter]

My work vacuum cleaner has just about died so needing a new one. What do you all use and how are they for general tiler use?

Been looking at a Henry or second hand Dyson DC22. Some of the larger extraction vacuums like the Bosch GAS25 would be a bit big as I'm only in a Connect so want something fairly compact.

Cheers

Are you refering to an extraction from a tool that makes dust or just a general hoover....I have a henry and it's seems to be the best but they do more industrial types as well.

Just something for general vacuuming joints and floors mainly, but powerful enough to suck up from the back of the grinder when needs must.

Have a look at the Numatic range, they make Henrys but on an industrial body, ace piece of kit, and it's worth getting a longer house,so you don't drag it around the room with you.

Likewise, compact, lightweight (apart from when full of dust and rubbish), and the hose fits most of my power tools for dust extraction too.

Same as kilty, but ye, a bit bulky. It does wet and dry though!

I use a Fein Dustex and find it unbeatable TBH

Picks up wet or dry and connects to my Hurricane floor grinding cowl for near enough zero dust grinding of concrete surfaces.

Same as merlecollins Fein Dustex 25L is really good general vacuum/ extractor .Definitely better then Henry if used as a extractor ( and I own both)As for price I would say mid range between cheap Henry's and expensive Festool/Protools .
