Upright shop vacuums... what do you reccomend?
I figured this would be the best place to ask this question...
We're desperately in need of some vacuums at our 40,000 sq/ft shop, but something like the $10,000 driveable sweepers are a little out of the question. I was looking into getting 3 or 4 shop vac industrial sweepers because they are realitively inexpensive (about $150 ea), and seem like they would work great for the hard cement floor we need to clean. However, I keep finding mixed reveiws on this particular vaccum. Have any of you guy's used one or something similar?
What it needs to pick up:
- Fine dust (mostly from welding)
- metal shavings
- dirt
Things I'm concerned about:
- The bag clogging since the inlet is at the bottom
- power

Thoughts and any other reccomendations?
Thank's guys,
Bryson
