Did you get a different hoover for use while renovating?

Made_Without

This may be a daft question

I need to buy a hoover and am wondering if I should

1. buy a temporary hoover for use whilst doing the DIY - for all the dust and plaster etc

2. Buy a hoover I plan to use forever after (or until it breaks down)

Any suggestions on best hoover to get will be appreciated!

Renovation work will kill any normal hoover. Use a Henry for the dirty stuff and either use it for day to day too, or get a normal hoover for normal household cleaning if you'd prefer an upright.

iuse a henry for work - decorating and that deals with fine dust etc with no hassle - just keep the top filter clear of dust and change the bags when full and you will have no problems , i think i got it about 10 yrs ago and it's still going strong

As others have said Numatics henry range are very good and can generally handle anything so would be ideal if your planning to keep it after the renovation.If not just one of those cheap vacs for the renovation.

I agree- henrys are brilliant at removation work as well as excelent around the home. I don't even use a bag in mine.

We got a big canister type, American made, workshop vacuum when we built our house. We still have it 30 years later and still use it occasionally. Its about twice the size of a Henry.

We just used the vax knowing we had it for a few years and that it was probably going to croak. It did the job and duly expired and was replaced with a Dyson.

i would always tend to use something relatively cheap and disposable for this kind of work and anything to do with the garage / car etc.

You should be able to get something suitable from B&Q their own brand Performance Pro for not much money. That should suit your needs.

get cheap ones for 30 quid now. maybe anoption.
agree with the others though about red henrys. good value for money. they go on for ever.

I wouldn't buy a new Henry for the purpose of renovation work though. The sort of dust produced is so fine that it kills most hoovers so we simply don't use one now. For fine dust, I damp it down with a fine water spray which makes it infinitely easier to sweep up and bag.

We bought a bagless Dyson. It was either going to be that or a Henry.

We have been renovating a house for nearly 6 years and the hoover has been used and abused. I even used it to hoover out a coal shed! (No I'm not mad, it was an brick built outhouse used as a coal shed which we swept, hoovered out, jet-washed clean and then painted to use as a garden tool shed).

We need to clean the filters a lot and the hoover looks tatty now, but it is still going strong. I was originally shocked at the cost, but it has been worth every penny.
