TFTT050 Titan Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & First Impressions

- My Henry vacuum cleaner that I used for dust extraction recently stopped working properly and resisted my attempts to clean it up. So after a bit of research I have replaced it with the Titan TTB350vac from UK based ScrewFix. As I managed to get it for £10 less than the normal retail price of £44.99, I also picked up the reusable HEPA filter to help protect from the really fine hardwood dust that my power-carving generates.
If you know someone that is looking for a new workshop vacuum then maybe share this video with them.

Nice! Basic suction at a good price! Congrats!
Yes. It does the job well for the price.
I just bought my shop vac but for some reason I am still looking at reviews and shopping for them! I guess its ok to plan ahead! lol
Of course it is.
I have the same one Andy great hoover works like a dream. I have to admit mine has taken a beating over the couple of years Ive had it, but is still battling on. Actually used the exhaust to add airflow to my forge worked extremely well.
That's good to know. Thanks Andi.
That's a useful tip on the forge. Is it not too forceful though?
@@TalesFromTheTinkerage very.. have to keep a very close eye it was only because the wife refused to lend me her hairdryer and I am impatient...
Wow that's a good price mate 👍 hope it will serve you well 👍
I was very pleased with that price. I think I will have to do some work on the hose and it's connections but it's done a good job on clearing the sawdust from the benches.
@@TalesFromTheTinkerage maybe a cyclone system? I'm actually mega happy with mine it's really good.
I think it is something I need to look at. Needs to be small though. Although the parts could go in different places. I'll have to do some research. After Makers Central though.
I had one of these all the way through the build of our cottage and the studios. Really lasted well , just a note to think about tho. The exhaust port can be vented to the outside world , meaning you can put the vac in a somewhat sound proofed cabinet. Works really well for my much larger camvac. should work for the titan too. :)
I quite like that the exhaust port sends out warm air. It's helped warm the Tinkerage today when it was a bit chilly this morning.
I got a little vacuum similar in size at harbor freight. The foam filter clogged in a few minutes. Definitely have to get the better filter.
That's interesting. After my recent health scare taking a bit more care is definitely a priority.
Looks good! I have a slightly cheaper one from B&Q. Same design as a Henry only the bucket is metal. Problem is, the static electricity that's built up by the dust gives you one hell of a shock if you touch it!
That doesn't sound great. At the least it's very annoying.
This has really helped me thank you, i have been looking for something like this for my small workshop and like yourself space is key. I noticed that you use some workzone equipment as do i have you been able to use it on them?
Hi Nathan, yes I do have some Workzone tools. It will fit with adaptors. So far I've just been using bits of plumbing pipe and fittings to make it work. I know Amazon and a couple of other places sell flexible adaptors that will allow a variety of vaccums to work with a variety of different tools but I am hoping to go down the 3D printer route, once I've moved it into the house (it's too cold out there at the moment).
Good price great little hoover. Now you need to make a dust cyclone bucket. They work a treat saves on vac bags plus don't need to empty it as often. Use the old hose from the Henry.... cut it into 12 inch sections use the sections to make tool adaptors so they fit on the tools then the titan hose will fit into the tool adaptors hose pieces... great video mate
Yes, I think I will need to look at a cyclone. Good tip with the hose. Cheers.
@@TalesFromTheTinkerage no worries mate
Have a look at Warren Big boys channel if I remember right he did a video of hooking his Titan vac up to a cyclone nice vid
I think you're right. I'll go and have another look!
I'm 99% sure I'll be buying one of these this week just for the house and car. I've heard about people not using the bag with this hoover and just emptying the bucket when needed, would this be OK? The one thing that got on my nerves with my old Henry was buying bags, at the moment I'm using a bag less cylinder hoover but it's not very good. 😕
It will certainly work without a bag especially with the washable hepa filter; I ran my Henry for about 18 years without one. Obviously it goes against the instructions in the manual and would probably void the warranty.
Anyone got a video on how to attatch a 15m universal hose in these ?
Not that I have seen.
That sucks 👍 😊 I made a 'cyclone' from my old hoover 😉
😂
Now that sounds interesting. Could I do that with my old Henry?
Yes, to be honest it's not as good as it could be but it is a good start, If we get a chance to chat next weekend I can tell you about it or do a little vid when I get back👍
Do catch up with me on the weekend! But a vid would be good too as I suspect the weekend will bring a sever case of information overload.
Hi Andy, I have just put up a quick (and rubbish) video of my 'cyclone' Mate
@@Everythings_Adjustable I'll check that out later. Thanks!
