Redpill me on pneumatic vaccum cleaners? How do they compare to electric in terms of power, convenience, efficiency with a 50L 4HP compressor etc? I have 2 corded vaccum cleaners - Henry and Karcher WD2 and a small cordless Makita, but lugging, positioning and maneuvering even something as small as Henry is a chore sometimes (and an 18V Makita is way too weak for any kind of bigger cleaning), wheras a rubber air hose is super convenient and I already have a self-retracting box with a long one installed for dusting stuff around the house
>>2891722Pneumatic vacuums are resilient in the sense that there's no moving parts and you can suck up liquids without a care.But you need a lot more power than a corded vac or central vac to get equivalent suction. So getting something that's actually as good as central vac could be expensive.
>>2891722They take a lot of air to make suction. They have their uses, but will not take the place of a standard corded electric vacuum
>>2891722good for things like sucking up fuel spills or working in explosive environments. a regular electric vacuum will be better for 95% of all other common uses.
