Screw fix Titan 1300w single motor - so many good reviews for a simple vac and last week was £34.99.
I've got a an Edward, larger volume Henry but don't really want to start using it for chasing as it might hate me back (we've been through a lot together)!

All my kit is Bosch which is why I switched to the Bosch Vacuum, it seriously is the best, I got all the additional attachments for it too.

Henry's are great, I recently sold our spare one cheap to a mate, it was just gathering dust.

If it's been a good servant over the years then get another, they are after all decent vacs.

Fein dustex - brilliant bit of kit and reasonable money

Drop it on the bench give a clean up. Unless some windings on the motor got burned up then new set of carbon brushes may bring it back to life...
Mine had on/off switch failing recently due to dust, got (temporary sorted by a wago connector and some tape, it now works right when plugged in.

I will 3rd on the Bosch gas35 top class vac.

one of my many jobs was working in a vac shop... some of these wall chaser vacs are good but for the money you still can't
beat a Henry for all round use. I used mine yesterday to get drilled concrete pieces from a 2ft fence post hole (no bag, just
filter).

Stihl SE62,is a cracking bit of kit. A mile better,than the 61 it replaced,and both physically and electrically tough.

I purchased one,on line for £99,and although a lot of lads rate the Henry...you are still able to crayon a face on the front,if desired rrr:

my henry came from a car boot sale for the princely sum of £2, 10 years ago. since then it's had more brick and plaster debris up it than cocaine up a celeb's nose. still does the job.

My Edward NVR 370 has been with me since the flea infestation of '96. Two house renovations later, covered in paint and frequently used as a 'hop up', I am ashamed to say that I still have to give the moulded plug a whack to get it going! Perhaps, now that I'm training, I should lead by example and fit a new BS1363 plug. Would be a shame though as its a 'thing' we have - makes him smile anyway, well what doesn't?

Have you boys with Henry's use this attached to a chasing machine? If so, does it work okay (my Karcher Wet & Dry vacuum is good for cleaning up normal debris, but blocks immediately when attached to my chaser)?

 

[dean.diy]

used it connected to purpose built 5" repointing grinder

 

[telectrix]

connect mine to wall chaser with dome ally tube and gaffer tape. not perfect but it gets about 90% of the dust. as for the 10%, can't have the woman of the house sitting on her pretty arse all day, can we?
