Which vacuum cleaner?

[Keith]

Hi all tiling technicians. I would like to know which is the best most popular vacuum cleaner that you use. I need a new one and am looking at the Draper WDV1400. It really looks the mutts nuts.Its a wet and dry vacuum and it also connects to your planers/ sanders/power tools . It automatically starts the cleaner when you switch the power tool on , and also has a power socket on board. I think the average price is £160. Has anyone got one of these? I would like to know if they are any good. Will they have them at the tile show? Or is ther any better and cheaper. Meanwhile I'll carry on using my trusty brush and shovel for £1. Thanks for listening.

Cant beat a henry, but also have a cheap £40 vax for our house and that is well impresive.

i was just going to get a cheapy outta argos too. then i seen remembered the henrys (with great nostalgia) as our cleaners at school used them !

VAX for me. However, I've taken the dust-bag out of it. This makes it very easy to empty. You can do the same with Henry too. I also think that it slightly improves the suction.
