had this one for 3 years ....Sealey Industrial Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner Stainless Steel Bin 20L 1250w 240v : Tooled-Up.com

if it breaks down will buy the same one

The powerhead on that sealey looks remarkably similar to that on my wickes wet vac (though yours has a nice stainless body)

Ive got an Erbauer one, when sucking water it sprays it out of the machine vents! Up the walls & over the carpets, i wont be buying it again!

Karcher A2534PT Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner 25 Litre Tank with Power Tool Connector 1600w 240v : Tooled-Up.com

Got the Wickes one. Its ok. I had the same one as stan, but tipped it over while it was full of water, and switched on. That killed it quick.

The wickes one is ok, but it's a pain if you need to hoover up dry dust and rubble. The bags are quite expensive and don't last long....if you don't use one, it will litterly blow it back out the hoover!!

I've got two Wickes one at the moment. One of them was full, I left it outside a clients for 3 hours, and it froze solid (in that very cold snap we had a few months back). I had another job to go to, so just bought another one on the way!! Well they're only £40.

When the other one thawed out, it was fine. So it's in the shed.

i have had a wickes one for few weeks and promptly lost all the bags cant say have had any issue at all with it blowing out

Maybe I'm using the frozen one and its knackered! Its OK on water which is the main reason I'll use a hoover.

If it's dusty work I tend to sheet up, and the two blokes that work for me carry Henry's, so I'll use them. Can't beat a Henry for dust!

Best wet vac I've ever used by far! Had it about 6 months now and not once had even a minor problem with it.

Used numerous different cheaper models from fellow engineers, but was always let down by either the suction not being poweful enough, or them spraying the water out just as quick as they suck it in.

Also doubles up as a dust extractor as it has a handy little switch on it, that when engaged only fires up the vac when you start using the power tool

Although I only ever use it for wet work, which is great seeing as it has a drain point on it so you dont have to take it apart to empty it

One of these day's i am probably going to invest in one! I would like to see a video of one in action first!
