Looking for the best construction vacuum cleaner?

What is the best construction vacuum cleaner? Toolnation has a large selection of construction vacuum cleaners from different brands such as Airbo, Festool, Makita, Scheppach or Starmix. But what are your preferences? A good construction vacuum cleaner is the one that satisfies your needs. Sometimes an inexpensive "standard" construction vacuum cleaner will be enough and sometimes a construction vacuum cleaner with more extensive functionality, the strongest suction, or the largest volume flow, is required.

For those who only want to quickly vacuum the bus or the construction area, a light battery construction vacuum cleaner from Makita is a good choice. With a lower price, these are cheap construction vacuums. However, these vacuum cleaners are supplied without batteries and chargers, so this is more fitted for those who already work with Makita cordless tools and already own the corresponding batteries and chargers.
The advantage of these lightweight battery powered vacuum cleaners is that they are quite quiet. The quieter the better, especially if you are working in noise-sensitive environments such as hotels, hospitals and special housing.

Industrial construction vacuum cleaners

The most expensive ones in Toolnation's range of 'construction vacuums' are the industrial vacuums, these are suitable for suctioning dust from different explosion types. The price for this kind of vacuum cleaner can amount to over €10,000.
Directly below that are the vacuums that are suitable for heavy applications such as cleaning after a flood, medium-dangerous materials and vacuums that are also suitable for, for example, combating oak processionary moths etc.

Different price ranges

The more common construction vacuum cleaners are available in all kinds of different price ranges, starting from a few euros to about €1500 euro excluding VAT. Besides the price, the vacuum cleaners also differ in functionality. Consider the length of the power cable, the size of the container, the type of air filter, the wheels and the dust range for which the vacuum cleaner is suitable. The airflow also differs quite a bit. This also determines whether the machine is suitable for dust extraction when used with power tools or machines. It is important to ensure that the hose is antistatic.

Light use

Among the basic vacuum cleaners for light use - wet and dry - we find brands such as Scheppach, Kärcher and Bosch Green. These are good construction vacuums, but often somewhat limited in accessories, use, cable lengths, container size, etc. The more professional construction vacuum cleaners for more intensive use are, for example, equipped with a protection against overflowing of the container when wet vacuuming and with an impact protection so that walls and furniture  are less likely to be damaged. Additionally, the plastic suction tube has been replaced by a metal tube. Power and airflow also affect the price.

Different industries

Kärcher Professional is one of the largest providers of vacuum cleaners. The range is very wide, with vacuum cleaners suitable for industry to (pastry) bakeries and back-mounted vacuum cleaners for cinemas, for example. Of course, the construction vacuum is also properly represented in the range. Kärcher Professional also has several vacuum cleaners of 24 and 36 Volt batteries suitable for you.

Dust extraction from Festool

Festool also has a large range of vacuum cleaners. This is a brand that is strong in the construction industry. Festool focuses on both vacuuming and dust extraction. With dust extraction, electrical machines and dust extractors are fabricated so that they turn on simultaneously. It is then no longer necessary to switch the vacuum cleaner on individually.

Battery powered construction vacuum cleaner

If you are looking for a good battery powered construction vacuum cleaner, you will almost automatically end up with Makita. In addition to 7.2 and 10.8 Volt light-power vacuums, Makita offers a wide choice of 36 Volt (2x18V) vacuums. These are partly back-mounted vacuums for those hard to reach places, but also construction vacuums which can also extract battery tools.
