industrial vacuum cleaner
QUESTION: Looking for a Industrial type Vacuum cleaner for use on building site. To
clear/clean loft area / and builders dust and tiny stones. Can anyone guide
on what would be suitable?
I would either buy of Hire. Will need it for at least the next 6 months
during weekends.
ANSWER: I used an Earlex combi vac from Argos (711/1349, 40 pounds at the
moment) when decorating a new-build house.
It came with a 4-metre hose and an adaptor for power tools that had no
trouble handling the dust from cutting laminate and ceramic tiles and
sanding the walls. It also coped fine with small debris from levelling
off high spots in the screed and broken glass from getting too close to
a lightbulb when rollering the ceiling. It's bagless, and the permanent
filter is easily cleaned just by banging it on the ground outside.
I found it was tough, powerful and cheap enough not to worry about
looking after it! That's the same as the "Wickes Wet'n Dry Vac" which IIRC is cheaper than
that (not on their website though). Have to say I really don't like
mine, bought for workshop/diy - just doesn't suck hard enough. I
usually try and sneak off with the 'domestic' Henry when SWMBO's not
looking - it's w-a-y better. Check in:
