wet and dry vac

Wet-/Dry Vacuum Cleaner Ultra 30 ShopVac 9240429 in the Conrad online shop | 816023

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

Looks quality. Is is 240V? Looks american.

The specifications say 230V but looks like it may have a European-style 2-pin plug? I think Conrad online is a German company?

 

[SamGas]

Yeah it is German, which means it does come with a 2 pin plug on it.. (240v though)

Nothing a pair of wire cutters and a 3 pin plug couldn't solve :innocent:

Should be 230V? as that is the European harmonised mains voltage specification.

I've just picked up a wickes one. Just using it for wet pick up though, I'll stick with Henry for dry pick up.

So you carry two hoovers? I wish I had room to do the same. I genuinely do. Gonna get a bigger van this year.

Oh yeah.. sorry I ment 230v :yes:

Just a little hint though, try not to fill it all the way up when upstairs (as getting 30 litres of dirty water down the stairs is always a bit of a worry)

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Simples you can always empty it in the wash hand basin

Stairs are no problem, it's mre fun getting it down out of a loft. after having cleaned out a header tank
