I have a Dyson DC01 but it not the best for DIY mess.

Henry (Or bigger) Numatic cleaner.

I have had my oldest one for over 10 years and it's never failed. It
has fallen down the stairs three or four times and was run over by my
neighbour in his transit and it hasn't missed a beat.

By contrast, a friend bought a cheap "look alike" tub vac and it broke
after 18 months with a burned out motor.

If you need wet and dry capability, Numatic do one of these too.

If you get one make sure it's got "-22" at the end of the model
number. This means it's got the new 'Twinflo' dual speed dual stage
motor. It sucks harder and is dual speed.

Bosch GAS25 or GAS50

These have a number of useful features.

= Automatic switching when a power tool is plugged in
= Choice of dust bag or just the container
= Drain port at bottom to allow emptying of water after wet cleaning
= Powered filter shaker for secondary shaker
= Tools and hoses in 3 sizes from 20mm to 50mm

Cheap Earlex bucket cleaner (Machine Mart). Works, cheap enough you
won't mind too much if you kill it with brick dust or something. Noisy
though and it's not as cheap as you think, if you buy the upgrade filter
and hose.

As a general cleaner, then not quite a Henry, but Henry's uprated
steel-cased brother (about 25 quid more).

Either of the previous suggestions or a £10 wonder from a boot sale.
However, the water sucking capabilities of the other suggestions come in
handy from time to time.

Thanks for the advice Guys.
Just ordered a Charles CVC 370-2, a Henry that sucks water as well.

I am even more in favour of our "James" for sucking up building debris
since I found 100 bags for £20 at Cost-co. At 20p a bag it's easier
than getting out the dustpan & brush, although, fine dust such as
plaster dust etc very often leads to relatively empty bags becoming
clogged and subsequently bursting thereby blocking up the motor filter.

I still prefer my very old Dyson DC01(?) cylinder cleaner for the likes
of sawdust and other "fast filling" kinds of dust as you can see when to
empty it.

Numatic have been rather clever in that most of the parts are
interchangeable. For example a Henry motor unit will fit on a george
tub etc..etc.

My £85 AquaVac 4100 industrial cleaner is even cheaper to run than
that, no bags at all! Just bang the filters out from time to time and
that's it.
