US Henry, Charles, PPR380 (Nacecare)

[dylanmitchell]

How are the new Nacecare US 120 volt 680 watt models vs the 1,200 watt models? New dry models with the 680 watt motor list highter cfm and motor life vs the 1,200 watt motor wet/ dry vacs. How will a 1,200 watt Charles perform in dry use vs a PPR380?

Looking at WV370 wet/ dry vac for a dry dust and cleaning, indoor messes from home improvement projects and occasional wet mess. Basically a quiter and better filtering shop vac.

Looked at Nilfisk aero 21/ aero 21 innox/ attix 33, Festool, Fein, and Bosch but don't need auto start or dust extractor features,s and some have low suction.

The performance is very close you wouldn't notice the difference without a vacuum gauge.

120 volt Henry

The performance is excellent. Even though the motor only uses 680 watts, it has cleaning power similar to much higher power motors. The Henry is a great cleaner.

Found a Charles CVC370 at a local Nacecare dealer. Impressed with the performance, it's quieter than a shop vac, more capable, and has better filtration. Works well for dusting, cleaning hard surfaces, and garage/ shop clean up.

I could see it being used as a main vac for hard floors and short commercial carpet. Carpet brush head struggles on our longer carpet. NVH380 with Sebo ET 1 power nozzle would be interesting to try. We already have a Sebo E3 that's great on carlet.

PPR240 has better specs, longer warranty, and a longer life motor. But we wanted a wet dry vac and didn't want extraction features of George.
