Kev Martin sells them, decent by all accounts.

I haven't got one but I just use Numatic, never fail me, very hard wearing.

Been doing a bit of research and found good reviews for both Nilfisk or Kiam wet/dry industrial vacs.  Can anyone comment on this? Cheers Guys.

I just told you two above. Don't get a Kiam.

The machines Kev Martin has are a copy of the Soteco machines. We have had those for over 15 years and have now started replacing them with the V-Tuf equivalent to the vacs Kevin has.

All of these are the same design. 3 x 1000W motors and 90 litre capacity. Easy to empty.

We also have the largest of the Nilfisk. Its a great machine with lots of power however its not really rugged enough for chucking in and out of a van all the time. Wheels and handles break easily.

If they were for single site operation like a factory or commercial kitchen they would be fine.

Here is a link to the machines we have/sell which are similar in design to Kevs http://www.cleaningsystems.co.uk/product/590/v_tuf_vt9000_industrial_wet_and_dry_vacuum/907c436dd227be091d059c9ab0968ad7 (http://www.cleaningsystems.co.uk/product/590/v_tuf_vt9000_industrial_wet_and_dry_vacuum/907c436dd227be091d059c9ab0968ad7)

Once we get them we fit these out with 6m hoses from our old carpet extractors for best flexibility.
