HILTI DUST EXTRACTOR REVIEW, VC 150-6 XE

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- This is a quick review of the HILTI dust extractor. I have had this for about a year and besides what I mentioned in the video, I would also like to add that there is also a less expensive model which does not include the ability to install Bluetooth. There is also a bigger model with more capacity and can pull it like a cart.
If you do lots of drywall work or lots and lots of sanding this is dust extractor is perfect! Apologize about the studdering 😂 ill get better at talking on camera eventually. If you have any questions let me know!

The algorithm brought me here and for good …?
I was looking for vids on the Festool ct36 ac when I saw your vid.
I like the size and power better on this one but the big BUT is the variable speed.
When using the vacuum with smaller tools like wood sanders this is too much power to work with.
Texted the Hilti customer service and they have no idea what they’re selling, terrible.
Liked your vid thou !! Thank you
I am using mine for a car detailing with the Bluetooth sensor, best thing that I bought for my business
Hey buddy . Have you sanded down popcorn ceilings with this unit?
I like the size of this unit also.
Yeah, I too am curious how this is performing 1 year later. It seems like drywall sanding would be a real test of this units longevity and self cleaning feature and it seems like it is up to the task from what you described. I saw another video complaining that there are metal cables inside the canister that rip open dust bags. Would be nice to verify if that is actually a problem. I know you don't use bags but I probably would for what I do.
I like Hilti. I think you are buying into the dust extraction system Hilti has when buying this tool to some degree since their tools are designed to work together. Like if I had this vacuum and I needed a drywall sander I would probably buy Hilti.
I'm not a fan of the way the Festool dust extractor looks. It's not my thing. Very bulky. Similar suction to this with similar features. I'm primarily a hardwood floor guy. Lots of wood dust everywhere! So I am looking for a high end vacuum to help cut down on some of that dust throughout the process. I already have a good backpack vac but the storage capacity on that thing is pretty minimal.
For the amount of work that we do and the insane usage hours this dust extractor sees. This thing has been an absolute work horse for a little over 2 YEARS! The only issue I've had is the on board electrical outlet got worn down too much but hilti will replace for free if it's within warranty time. It became a little loose. Other than that I honestly could not expect more for the beatings these machines get everyday. Still strong and I probably change filters every six months and don't really clean the filters I let the machine do it's job. I honestly wouldn't even think about using dust bags because it's probably cheaper to replace filters once a week for us than to buy bags. I would however use the plastic bags to make it cleaner to dump the dust out. Other than that these machines are super reliable and would definitely recommend if you are doing some heavy duty work these things are tanks
Nice post! What are your thoughts about requiring/adding a cyclone separator to it? Thanks
I think if it's stationary like in a woodworking shop it would be ok. But on the jobsite I don't think it's necessary. The self cleaning features is really nice and always pulls strong.
Thanks for the video
I was looking at the festool ct26, but now I’m going with the hilti vc 150-6xe because of the size, cfm, and the auto clean. I have one question, can you adjust the cfm from the vacuum? It looks like it has a power control.
Thanks brother 👍
Nice review mate.
Do you think its a good vacuum for drywall sanding? (Havey useage)
Can i use a ridgid hose?
Can you use the hose diameter button to effectively change the speed of the vacuum? Basically is there any way to make it run slower?
Unlike Festool, you cannot turn suction down. But both Festool and Hilti the button only turns the unit on and off
Thanks for the review,what kind of bags you use inside for drywall dust
Currently do not use bags, once the container is full I just dump it out. I just replace filter every few months, I have not found the bag to be necessary yet.
how has it been holding up?
Can you sand a whole room out with that no suction issues?
Sorry I'm so late! You can sand an entire house with this setup no issues. The entire container can be filled to the top with little suction loss. The auto clean knocks the dust off the filter essentially unclogging it periodically
