Which vacuum cleaner (Karcher MV2?)

Ah a fellow night owl indeed. Always been that way.. so I've always worked nights pretty much..


So I'd need to step up the compressor you think? Those previously mentioned won't clear well enough?


How about something like this... Tyre inflator


Or are we fighting a losing battle by thinking tankless?


PS. I can get a George vac for £90 if willing to take it on a 2hour train ride home with me.. However with the good feedback on the Wickes vac, I may go that route now.. Can't work out if the George is worth the extra £50 & nightmare journey...

I can't advise you on that compressor. My current workshop compressor is from LIDL and ALDI have just done a better one, but £169 compared with LIDL's £90. These sort of compressors are noisy though. I wouldn't want you to spend your money on something not up to the job. Both LIDL and ALDI Customer Services are pretty good about finding a store that still has stock, though it was a while back. If you are not in a hurry they will be back in stock in a few months.

Your Lidl one is this one perhaps? My main issue I have with larger compressors is the space.. I'm trying to fit most things under the table I'm going to build for it..
Here's a quick little mock up I did using this air compressor but still having trouble fitting everything.

Wickes doesn't have dimensions on their site.. so not sure on what size it is so have the original Henry in there still..

There is a work bench next to this with space underneath (up to 190mm height) which I'm planning to put the PC under.. and if there was a compressor quite flat then it could also go under there, but they don't appear to come in the form factor that could fit under..
