Can't say I have, but the Nilfisk 30t is well worth a shout. £114ish, Google it for prices. It's a decent vac for what your prepared to use it for.

It's pretty good but if you've the cash, go for the carbon poles. I made the mistake of getting it along with alloy poles and its a bit of a nightmare, fine for straight forward work within reason but any conservatories/porches etc where you work at an angle not vertical its basically unusable.

Is the Vacumm strong enough for most jobs was thinking of getting there poles cannot justify carbon and nilfisk vacumm unless Clarke is good enough

Yes mate it does the job, mine made its money back in no time. There are always sections where you'll need the ladder out but I'd assume even the more powerful vacs would struggle too.
For the price, its a good buy.
