I need to buy a new vacuum cleaner as my ageing Samsung is finally falling apart (not bad really as its 12 years old now) I want a machine that will suck up nails, brick dust, rubble etc. I have heard favorable things about 'Henry' and his family, but I am interested to know what you professionals use daily and if you would recommend it. I bought a 'Karcher' but was really unimpressed with is performance.

many thanks,

I currently use a Trend T30AF. I like it because its quiet, has a long hose, and it filters down to 0.5microns for the very fine dusts.

As happy as I am with it, I do find that when connected to powertools it lacks in the airflow department (as do all other standard vacuum cleaners) which is why the next cleaner I get will be a Numatic
They manufacture the 'henry' range but the 'numatic' branded stuff is industrial quality.
 
Thanks for the replies chaps. I didn't find your thread as I searched for 'vacuum + brick' and not 'hoover + brick' in the forum search.
So, it looks like i will get a Henry (or maybe a George, Charles or Edward) but probably wont get a Bertie, who I think is Henrys little brother.

Buy a 'Charles', if you don't agree with me that it's the best vacuum you have ever owned I will pay for it!! Charles is the wet & dry vacuum made my Numatic who manufacture the Henry, and can be had for about £110 on t'interweb. The suction this thing has is just bonkers!

Yesterday I cleared up all the plaster lumps, dust and crap the plasterer had left behind, then sucked up metal swarf off my metal lathe, and finally a load of saw dust off the floor, without losing any suction, how many vacs do you know that wouldn't block up with this kind of use?!
