Nilfisk Buddy II 18 + Nilfisk Vacuum Cleaner Bags for Buddy II (4x)

I use the vacuum when there is a layer of water in the basement that you can't mop up after a heavy rain shower. This is about 4 times a year. The plunger then does what it has to do and is also easy to carry up the stairs.

Ideal vacuum cleaner for during renovation that does not lose suction power after a few months of intensive use. Effortlessly sucks up even large chunks of debris. In addition, I use the vacuum cleaner with all my tools (circular saw, sander, wall router) and I keep the room and my lungs clean.

It is a cheap vacuum cleaner and you notice that in certain points such as the maneuverability (is more often on its side that it is standing), the too short cord of 4m (I have already mounted a new cord of 12m) and the fact No mouthpieces are included. The biggest downside, however, is that a paper vacuum cleaner bag is included, it functions well for some dust, but for wood / rubble / glass it is not sufficient at all and it tears. Therefore, immediately buy a mountain of cloth bags in stock (I often use them 3x by shaking them empty in a rubbish bag) and never use the vacuum cleaner without a vacuum cleaner bag.

The machine itself does its job well, albeit with a lot of noise. The suction hose and cord are long enough to allow sufficient movement. You can store the accessories on the machine. The plastic suction tube does not feel very sturdy, but it is lightweight. To empty liquid, you have to lift and turn the entire container, so take into account the weight when it is full.

The socket does not supply power when the machine is switched off. Very illogical because the tools already have an on/off button and using a work lamp without an extra extension cord or the noise is now impossible. The machine also does not switch on automatically when you use the socket, such as when you start drilling or sanding. So you pay quite a bit more for this model with a socket, but you literally only get a socket.

I would recommend opting for a cheaper model without a power outlet, or a more expensive one with a better implementation.
