Cordless Vacuum

[AMW]

i have a dewalt one but never used it off the battery its mains or battery, i bought it rather than lugging a transformer around on industrial jobs
Dewalt DCV582 14.4/18V Cordless/Corded XR Wet/Dry Vacuum (DCV-582)

Other way round for me always use it on the battery never used off mains yet

no cordless vacuum I have tried even comes close to a henry, so my option would always be my gennie, which the Mrs also finds useful for her horses!

OK - Genny it is - which ones do you chaps use?

Hi Gasmk1, thank for the reply - I've looked at that one, I think that type with the tank and filter would clog up instantly when sucking up a load of soot like you get in a old AGA.

I use the earlier dewalt cordless to clean out a biomass boiler around once a week, its fine, never blocks and has a very high filtration as the boiler produces soot as fine as baby powder.

I now leave that one with the boiler and im getting the new dewalt XR one, great vacs.

This is sort of small portable generator I would prefer, which is expensive but you can get others for under £500 (like Clarke). For a Henry cleaner you need more than 1kw, so I reckon 2kw is best.

henrys only 580Watts, so a smaller Genny should be good

Are you sure? Mine is about 1000 watts (industrial type Henry nvq250 I think)

The Henry probably was labelled 1000w once, the EU are getting heavy on the power consumption of vacuums with the introduction of new testing and legislation.
