    I use the large and quite bulky but very powerful Bona DCS for a lot of my work, but also have 2 x Nilfisk Multi 30 Vacuums, fantastic bits of kit and cost less than £120.00,[the Nilfisks that is] and imo are a much more powerful vac than the Henrys...

    I've seen the Nilfisk for £109 not a bad price. I've got one of there pressure washers and I'm happy with the quality. Are the vacs ok with a 2000w router do you think?

    Festool ctl26 good but expensive no dust when it's connected to the plungesaw, you can clip the sustainer to the top and use it as a trolly.

    Should be fine, we attach a metabo 6" detail sander to our nilfisk every day as it has a power take off plug to attach power tools, barely get a spec of dust coming off when attached...

    Had a couple of henrys and a nilfisk, all got knackered by fine concrete dust from grinder, even after going through a prefilter.
    Metabo designed for much smaller particles and so fat, still going strong. It depends what you want a vac for

    Stick with Nilfisk mate. Have mine attached to exakt saw while cutting plywood. Excellent machine. I have the Nilfisk Alto 25-20.

    I had 2 of the Nilfisk Alto 25-20, used them very heavily for well over 2 years each, then they both decided to die within a fortnight of each other...great vacs though...

    one of my fitters has the 25-20, good bit of kit
    But it dies a death when you put it near concrete dust, anything fine etc
