Titan - TTB774VAC

My Shark Pet was on offer £149. it's pathetic now. Got a Screwfix Titan builders one. noisy as anything, bought a better pole/brush off ebay and it's amazing. £48 in total.

That might do for you. I got a similar vac, a Titan fron Screwfix and have been very pleased with it. It's very noisy, as it's shop and not domestic. I bought it for dealing with various bits of dust and rubbleand ash, kept it as a general downstairs vac for floors that are brick and stone with rugs. Upstairs we have carpet and pets and I have a Sebo, but that's partly because I'm not prepared to lug the Titan up and down stairs, I need a vac on each floor. I've only used it once as a wet vac but it was very effective at that too. https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb774vac-1300w-16ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-220-240v/826kh

Titan wet/dry vac I bought for my shed. Basically a shop vac. Insane suction, stupidly simple, and just werks. It's better than any "household" hoover I've ever had.

I got the titan one and they are alright. Great for things you just don’t want to wreck your proper vac for. Mine is best as a wet vac - if I’m changing a radiator and expecting some water to come out i get the vac on it and it is powerfully enough to make the water go horizontally into the vac rather than fall.

Definitely. I have a cheap titan I got in screwfix. Cost €55,got it cos builders were in years back. But the suction in this cheap hoover is lightyears ahead of the cordless Dyson.

Thanks very much for that recommendation. I'd already looked at a few Titans ... other models have more mixed reviews than this one, quite strange. So, useful to hear of someone's experience of it. Seems to tick all my boxes!

Titan out of Screwfix, twice the power of any of the fancy yokes and half the price

Look no further than the Screwfix Titan range, they are fantastic!

was literally about to say Titan would make a killing with a proper "carpet" head although they would have to market it as a "carpeted workshop cleaner"

I've got 2 of them, one permanently attached to my mitre saw it's so good at minimising the sawdust fallout. But might buy a proper head attachment on day 1 and sack off the commercial crap that seems to last precisely 3 days after the warranty expires

if it’s like the titan screwfix ones that come with a mesh filter you absolutely need to buy the hepa filter if you’re expecting it not to chuck dust and bits out the back.

Just buy a dedicated shop vac for £50-100 from Screwfix. Titan or Evolution are both solid at very low prices. I have this one in my garage for when it's needed. https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb774vac-1300w-16ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-220-240v/826kh Doesn't come with a HEPA filter, but I believe you can buy one that fits. I just haven't.

**EDIT: I got confused between George and Charles, so ignore me!** ~~Meh, I find Charles very top heavy and prone to fall over because he is taller than Henry and has an extra water pump in the top. I also greatly miss the wind up cord Henry has, and Charles comes with a shorter hose than Henry which can also be a bit irritating (though you could buy a replacement). I'd get a Henry and buy a separate wet vac if needed. Screwfix do a cheap Titan wet vac that can also work as an air blower and dry vacuum. It was £40 when I bought it and works well. I use it for plumbing and cleaning the carpet after the dogs have been sick. If you really want to clean carpets your probably better off buying a specialist one, though. Charles is okay at it, but not that great.~~ My mother went through a phase of having several Dysons and they were all pretty shit in my opinion.

I use a basic Titan bagged diy vac from screwfix. It’s great.

As a restaurant owner and a vacuum store owner. Get a Sanitaire or a Titan commercial. Need one that has a clutch so you don’t burn your motor when someone clogs the brush roll.
