Numatic International - Nuvac VNR200 Big Tub Vacuum Cleaner

I've a big henry, amazing but bit much for dragging up and downstairs so i bought a Henry quick handheld, its brilliant

Gewoon een Hetty! Krachtig, grote stofzak, en bovendien super makkelijk in onderhoud. En mocht er onverhoopt toch iets kapot gaan, alle onderdelen zijn los te koop en voor iemand met twee linker handen en YouTube zelf te fixen!! De onderdelen zelf kosten amper wat. Dus een kei goeie stofzuiger en erg duurzaam!!! [Hetty](https://www.bol.com/nl/p/numatic-180-hetty-eco-stofzuiger-accessoire-kit-as1-620w/9300000013268210?referrer=socialshare_pdp_androidapp)

This has probably been asked in this subreddit before but I couldn't find it, so sorry if superfluous (please direct me!). Apologies for question but I'm finding it very difficult to get honest info on this subject, particularly where people are trying convince me that low wattage and great suction are possible. I don't believe that. Criteria: \- available in UK \- able to be used with bags - almost certainly a "canister" vac \- at least 1200 W, ideally plus 1500 W. i.e. good suction - no crappy 620 W Henrys please (already have one) \- corded \- able to be used either as a domestic thing or for a shop vac (for sawdust) NB am not a professional but do have a router which I'm using relatively often! AND \- sub- £100! \- ideally able to fit filter with a (generic) anti-sawdust pre-filter bag \- able to last (maintaining good suction) for years, if cared for suitably Best thing I'm gravitating towards currently: [this ](https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Wet+Dry-Vacuum-Cleaner-With-Blower---1250W/p/215735). NB couldn't give a toss about "wet" cleaning, but apparently stoopid politics has prevented the development/selling of powerful dry-onlys.

Thanks for that. What I'm looking for is, as I said before, something to meet the "shop vac" requirement... an essential aspect of which is powerful suction. My current Henry is only 620 W, quite a bit less than 800 W. You seem to have extensive knowledge of the market and the current state of the tech, so ... what make and model might you recommend around the £100 mark? Say, around 800 W, with the better impeller designs, etc., thus holding the prospect of good suction for longer? I just looked on ebay for a Sebo with "ET1 power head": nothing came up but these seem way beyond what I'm willing to pay. I'm also unlikely to buy an item like a vacuum cleaner secondhand: it's got to have a decent warranty. Also ... again, you say "Carpet cleaning is much more to do with agitation than raw power". Actually my current Henry \*\*is\*\* OK for carpet cleaning (not that I have any carpets in my house).

Miele eller Henry med kabel er supre greier. Hvis du vil ha trådløs støvsuger, kjøper du noe der du kan bytte batteriet når det går kaputt (for det vil det). Det er en del støvsugere som bruker samme batteri som el verktøy, slik som Bosch, Bosch Professional, Makita, Dewalt etc.

It’s crazy how much more expensive Numatic machines are over there. They’re really quite cheap / offer excellent value for money in the UK. My mains powered Numatic vacuum was only £150. And the Henry Xtra cylinder machine has just been on offer for about £130.

Over engineered and complicated, an absolute pig to work on as well. Miele for premium brand is much better or Numatic for budget (imo anyway)

Eigen ervaring is dat zowel de draadloze als de robotstofzuiger meer gedoe zijn dan het waard is. Na die experimenten een Numatic gekocht, en die doet het gewoon - als er iets kapot is, dan is het te repareren.

Al sinds de vorige eeuw een Numatic en hij zuigt nog steeds de tapijttegels van de vloer als ik niet oplet.

Buy a Numatic, they are by far the best.

You forgot it's about 100 times quieter... Shop Vacs are insanely loud. Numatics are one of the more quiet vacuums out there.
