I'm using a small Fein Dustex 25. You need to use bags though or you'll shorten the life of the filters. I'm not tapng much now though, so if you are doing it all the time, go for a Hilti or Festool M class vacuum.

Cheers, I'm only sanding 2-3 houses a week, so it's only running about 5 hrs. So kinda looking for a cheaper option.

Hi wallpaul, I've looked at that. How long have you had yours for & would you buy another should anything happen to it ?.

Good advice. I've had the Nilfisk Alto and it was a good vac. I hire from Artex and I've had some sh!t hoovers over the years, Sparky being one to avoid. Can't remember the one I've got just now but I'll look tomorrow cos Im sending it back! Again.
They sent me out a Nilfisk last year and its easily the best I've had

Ok, the hoovers I've had off them recently are Flex Vacuums. Good at first then lose their suction after a month or two
