I use a 1400 watt

Great for houses but wouldn't want to try
And use it over 25ft
keep it simple

1800w nilfisk works great for custys but for commercial using for longer periods at a time 3000w

Rather than look at wattage, you need to look at airflow, there are some high watts machines with very poor airflow !

Watch out the litres per second, or per minuite airflow rather than wattage.

I just bought a 3kw machine off a kevin on the " general cleaning section ", and it is 120 lps, going to use it for a few jobs next week, so will let you know how it performs.

ive got the same vac , 51mm inlet and it sucks like a wanna be thai bride.
make sure you suck water thru at the end of every job to clean hoses and tubes.
