    We used to use our Wet Vacs as dry vacs because they were dual purpose but we found they always seemed to cause problems when we switched them . So I went out and bought a Henry with 20 Spare bags on offer from a builders merchants here in the Midlands called Selco. It was about £87 + VAT at the time and since then I have bought another they are OK for dust clean up and vaccing grout joints etc. My only worry is if they are durable enough to be slung around by my lot?

    I think for the money you can't knock them.

    I bought a Henry when I started out - it is well worth the money for what we need it to do. As Kev says, got mine for about £80 with spare bags.

    Loads of commercial cleaners use them if that is any further recommendation

    Apparently if you use a henry bagless, it'll suck up anything... Including water. Of course, i take no responsibility for anyone using their Henry in this way. Nor i doubt, do the Tilersforums...

    Have a Bosch GAS25 wet and dry with power take off. Keeps the dust down when using power tools inside. Bigger than a Henry, so no good if you have a small van!

    I`ve had 2 henrys & swear by them , as said previous if you don`t use a bag ( I don`t ) they will pick up anything ( if it fits up the nozzle its gone ), but I don`t recommend using it for water for obvious reasons.

    Merry christmas & a busy new year to all,
    Richy C.
