I’ve been saving my peanuts for a fancy dust extractor. I saw that the Makita vc3012l is slowly starting to be available in Canada.
I don’t know what the Nilfisk model of this vac is. Only thing I see is that is seems less powerful than the bigger autoclean one. On the site it was rate at 113cfm
Despite that, price I found was almost the same. I certainly prefer the smaller size.
Can you guys share any experience or reviews of this vacuum and if it is a good choice or is it better going with something else considering its all in a similar price range
Cheers
Dont know about the Makita one, Makita dust extractors really arent available in store here in Finland. I can totally recommend a Kärcher NT 35/1 Tact TE for a autocleaning one, been using one with mainly a concrete grinder for a while now. Its big enough that you dont need to stop working to empty it all the time, but still small enough to carry up stairs etc.
Vc3012l is not an auto cleaning model. Keep that in mind.
So you will ant to work with filter bags and tools that create alot of fine dust ( grinders, wall chasers, planex etc…) Are not meant to be used on this model
