I've hired both a small one (Bosch) and a large one (don't
recall what make). Both cut really quickly and easily.
The large one was quite the most terrifying tool I've ever
used. Also, it's size meant it couldn't get as near to corners.
The larger one generated brick dust at about 10 times the
speed any domestic vacuum could suck it up. They did have
a cyclone vacuum cleaner to go with it (looked like a 4' tall
dustbin), but I didn't hire that. A Dyson could cope with the
dust from the Bosch, but you'll need to wash the filter every
few times you empty out the brick dust. Bagged cleaners won't
work with the volume of fine brick dust.

Some rental rates depend on wear on the cutting discs, so
depending what you are cutting through, you might want to
check that out.

Cheapskated in the end and hired an angle grinder - the hire rate on the
wall chaser was £50 a day and a dust extractor big enough to cope was
another £30 a day. Apart from that I'm working in the hope that work will
buy me one when someone with a budget whinges about messy trunking for their
network cabling. The amount of dust off the angle grinder is horrific enough
anyway, especially as I gave up using the face mask since it always seemed
to cause my goggles to steam up in seconds.... I've also got one of the £30
SDS drills and a chisel set on order from screwfix which will hopefully sort
out the corners and wall sockets.
