I picked up a Charles wet vac about 6 months ago, superb vac and managed to get it for half the price I had seen it from other retailers. Only issue I have with it is the wife has got hold of it and wont give it back, has hid the Dyson at the back of the garage!

i think the dewalts have a dual purpose filter. If you use it for wet you need to wash the filter and dry it out. Best to have two filters.

got one of these [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nilfisk Multi 20T [/FONT] from machine mart, solid built and stable, has a wet and dry filter and has the ball to block when its full and cheaper than "Charles" but seems just as well made
I haven't bought the b&q vac yet....
I might just try and pick up a knackered george and carry the green bin next to me as a spare

What about this one Billy?
She blows and drains. Not many do that. They don't round my way anyhow....

I am struggling with this at the moment, Wickes wet and dry vac is making terrible noises from sucking hot water, filter is covered in filthy water and leaks all over the van wen not up right.
what I need:
small so doesn't take up space in van
carries 15 litres
doesn't leak when turned upside down
lightweight
do I get another wicks one?
do I get an expensive one?
or just buy a new filter and clean existing one?

thats just a drain plug on that
the one i posted up can pump upto 3meters vertical if i remember rightly 🙂
hence why i want it for basements !!!

I saw one of these the other day, sparkies had it, used it with there chasing tool, so it sucked dust from the air whilst they were creating it, quite like the idea of this, but the drain on this one looks like it could pop off

oh and the other problem with wickes one is that the filter is in the water when tank is full, so if you empty it, you have to take the whole lot downstairs, and outside, empty and bring up again. I clean a lot of f and e tanks and so the risk of dirty water on the carpet is too high
Try the b&q one jase? Only £30
I've seen the Numatic Charles for about 129 but as with the george it will only take 8ltrs

The wicks one is an earlex in fancy dress? Remove filter. Normally just take off lid and turn upside down.
ScrewfiX doing a Titan w&d £39.99. Think it's 13ltr if any help.
I use 12ltr wicks. Sad it doesn't keep in water. Just have to be careful when picking it up to empty
