The best Holzmann dust extractors, compared.
Top pick: KATSU 55 litre Best value: Evolution R15VAC – About £78.00 with 4.6 from 759 reviews and a listed power take-off. No L, M or H class is stated. Updated October 2026.
A Holzmann dust extractor in the brand's UK catalogue is a high-volume chip collector: a metal impeller, a wide hose and a bag measured in tens or hundreds of litres. You tell them apart by dust class, voltage and whether the job is chips or fine dust. The checks are in the [Holzmann dust extractor buying guide](/hub/workshop/holzmann-dust-extractor/sub/holzmann-dust-extractor-buying-guide). A Holzmann dust extractor is judged by dust class, supply, and listing consistency.

Question 1 of 2
What are you collecting?
The KATSU 55 litre drum is a 1200 W corded vacuum at £86.99 with a 2 m hose and five adaptors at 31, 35, 39, 63, and 85 mm. Four amazon.co.uk reviews give it 5.0, and the texts that exist say it picks up dust and feels like value, which is too small a sample to set beside 759 reviews. One owner says the jubilee clips slip and replaced them, and another calls it a bit noisy. The bullets claim HEPA filtration up to 0.5 microns, which is a filter line, not an L, M, or H class for the whole machine. Voltage is not stated, and the listing marks it as not portable, though a quick-release clamp is there for emptying the drum. You get hose sizes the Trend box does not list, without the review base or the class statement.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 55 litre drum and a set of hose adaptors, and four reviews are enough for you.
Less suitable: You need a stated M class or a review sample you can actually read.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the HEPA line make this KATSU an M-class extractor?
No. The listing says HEPA filtration up to 0.5 microns. It does not state dust class L, M, or H.
Which hose sizes are in the box?
The bullets list five adaptors: 31 mm, 35 mm, 39 mm, 63 mm and 85 mm, plus a 2 m hose.
How many UK reviews are on the listing?
Four, at 5.0. One review says the jubilee clips slip.
The Evolution R15VAC is a 3.3 kg wet-and-dry shop vacuum at £78, with 4.6 from 759 amazon.co.uk reviews and a listed power take-off that starts the vac when the tool starts. Reviewers carry it around a workshop for bench clean-up and decorating, and some use the blower to shift dust off a surface. The listing claims 1000 W and 42.5 litres a second, but it does not state an L, M, or H class, so that score is not a wood-dust rating. Several owners say the hose is about 32 mm outside and 25.5 mm inside and misses ports around 35 mm or 39 mm unless you add an adaptor the box often leaves out. The page says bagless, yet the cartridge blocks quickly unless a bag is fitted, and fine dust can blow back out. It also fails to catch everything from a chop saw in those reviews. A 15 V cell contradicts the 1000 W corded listing, and capacity is printed as 15, 8, and 9 litres, so ignore both cells.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a light wet-and-dry vac with a tool socket for bench clean-up and decorating.
Less suitable: Fine wood dust or MDF is the only control you are relying on.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Evolution R15VAC sold as M class?
No. The listing does not state an L, M, or H class. It does list wet and dry use, a blower, and a power take-off.
Do owners say the hose fits power tools?
Several UK reviews say the hose is about 32 mm outside and 25.5 mm inside and needs an adaptor for ports around 35 mm or 39 mm.
Is it really bagless?
The listing says bagless. Reviewers who are happy with fine dust often add a bag because the cartridge blocks.
The Trend T32 240 V pulls dust into a 20 litre bin through a 3 m hose, and the amazon.co.uk listing states an M-class rating with 99.9% filtration at £114.95. Across 142 reviews it scores 4.1, and buyers mention MDF in a home workshop, a plunge saw, and a DeWalt saw and sander. The filter-clean button and the extraction-velocity LED are the listing's own warning when the bag or the cartridge starts to choke. The same reviews describe suction dropping on sawdust, flimsy lid clips and wheels, a hose that crimps, a high-pitched noise, and static from the metal tube. A few owners report the motor stopping after light use, one of them with a burning smell, and one calls Trend support unhelpful. There is no power-take-off socket on the listing, so the tool needs its own plug. The 1 kg weight cell is not credible beside the 6 kg figure on the 110 V sibling, and an app cell is not described in the bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You cut or sand MDF or hardwood at home on a 13 A socket and you want a listing that states M class.
Less suitable: You need a 110 V site supply, a wide chip hose, or a power-take-off socket.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Trend T32 240 V state an M-class rating?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk bullets say it is M-class certified and quote 99.9% filtration, with a filter-cleaning button and an extraction-velocity LED.
Will this 240 V Trend run from a 110 V site transformer?
The listing is the 240 V style (T32). The 110 V machine is a different ASIN, B08B1XMHDC. Do not interchange them.
Does the listing include a power-take-off socket?
No. The raw listing does not mention a power take-off. It does include a dust spout adaptor and a 3 m hose.
The Trend T32 110 V, model T32L, repeats the M-class claim, the 99.9% filtration line, the filter-clean button, and the velocity LED, at £129 with 4.1 from 34 reviews. It is listed at 800 W, 6 kg, and a 3 m hose, and it needs a 110 V site supply rather than a BS 1363 socket. A site carpenter says it does the job and satisfies their RAMS, and others note the M-class filter and that it is light to carry. The same small set calls the plastic brittle, the hose easy to crush, and the price high for the build, with one comparison to a previous Nilfisk. Problems in those reviews include a wheel that fell off within about a month, locking catches that failed, and a switch that failed so the machine was skipped. Noise is listed at 70 dB here and 80 dB on the 240 V page, so the two listings do not agree. Thirty-four ratings are a thinner sample than the 142 on the home-voltage twin.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already run tools from a 110 V site transformer and you want the same stated M class.
Less suitable: Your workshop is a house or shed on a normal 13 A socket.
Specifications
Common questions
Can I plug this Trend into a normal UK wall socket?
No. This listing is 110 V, model T32L. It needs a 110 V supply. The 240 V T32 is ASIN B089VRD5X3.
Does the 110 V listing also state M class?
Yes. The bullets match the 240 V model: M class, 99.9% filtration stated, filter-clean button and a velocity LED.
What breaks in the reviews?
UK reviews mention a wheel coming off, brittle plastic, failed locking catches and a failed switch. The sample is 34 ratings.
The KATSU 550 W collector is the bag-style chip machine in this set, listed at £139.99 with a 61 litre bag, a wheel kit, and a weight of 18 kg. The raw amazon.co.uk file has no customer-review line, so there is no star rating to quote. The bullets describe it for woodworking machines and chips, and they mention a filter area for fine dust without stating an L, M, or H class, an airflow figure, a hose diameter, or a voltage. That is a different machine from the Holzmann ABS850, which Holzmann UK lists at £239.99 with a stated 850 m³/h and which The Saw Centre marks as not rated. At this shelf price it costs more than the 240 V Trend and has none of the review text. Treat the 61 litre bag as capacity, not as cleaner air.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a bag collector for chips and you can accept a listing with no reviews and no airflow figure.
Less suitable: You sand MDF or need a stated dust class and UK review text.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this KATSU a Holzmann chip collector?
No. The brand on the listing is KATSU Tools, model 100559. It is the bag-collector type, not a Holzmann ABS.
What airflow does the listing claim?
None. It says 550 W and a 61 litre bag. Airflow, hose diameter and dust class are not stated.
Are there UK reviews in the raw listing?
No customer-review line and no review text. Treat the rating as unknown.
Listings were compared on amazon.co.uk on 19 October 2026. There was no lab test and no air sample. Scores are editorial weights from 0 to 100, not Amazon stars. The highest score is the top pick. Best value is the strongest price-for-evidence row that is not the same model. A HEPA filter line is not an L, M or H class.
Dust class

Buy the dust class, the voltage and the machine type before the bag size. A Holzmann ABS in the UK catalogue is a chip collector, and Holzmann UK does not give the ABS850 an L, M or H class. The five amazon.co.uk rows here are not Holzmann ASINs. A HEPA line without L, M or H is not a dust class. A 110 V Trend will not run from a 13 A plug.
A Holzmann dust extractor, in the brand's own UK catalogue, is a high-volume chip collector: a metal impeller, a wide 100 mm hose, and a bag measured in tens or hundreds of litres. Holzmann UK lists the ABS850 at £239.99 including VAT, with 750 W S1, a stated 850 m³/h, a 40 litre bag and 230 V, and does not give it an L, M or H class. The Saw Centre marks that model not rated.
Holzmann UK does not give the ABS850 an L, M or H class, and The Saw Centre marks it not rated. A 40 litre bag and a stated 850 m³/h are capacity and airflow claims, not a dust class. None of the five amazon.co.uk ASINs is that Holzmann machine.
The Evolution listing says bagless. Reviewers who want fine dust often add a bag because the cartridge blocks, and fine dust can blow back out. The hose is often too small for 35 mm or 39 mm tool ports unless you add an adaptor.
The Trend T32 110 V needs a site supply. It will not run from a house 13 A socket. The 240 V T32 will not replace a 110 V site machine. Four 5-star reviews, and cells that say 15 V, 1 kg or app control, are not a test.
The first check is the class of the whole machine, not a HEPA word on a filter. HSE points on-tool wood cutting and sanding to an M or H class unit, and clean-up to a vacuum that at least meets class M. Bosch Professional UK places that rating under EN/IEC 60335-2-69 and treats HEPA as a separate line. In this set only the Trend T32 240 V and the Trend T32 110 V state M class and 99.9% filtration, with a filter-clean button and a velocity LED.
A normal UK workshop socket is about 230 V, BS 1363, often printed as 240 V. The Trend T32 240 V matches that socket. The Trend T32 110 V needs a centre-tapped site transformer and will not replace it. Voltage is not stated on either KATSU listing. The Evolution page includes a 15 V cell that contradicts the 1000 W corded listing, so that cell is not a supply you can buy against. A power take-off matters when a corded tool should start the vac. The Evolution lists one.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You cut or sand MDF or hardwood at home on a 13 A socket and you want a listing that states M class. The Trend T32 240 V is the top pick at about £114.95, with 4.1 from 142 reviews. There is no power take-off, so the tool needs its own plug. A dealer Holzmann is a chip collector, and Holzmann UK does not give the ABS850 an L, M or H class.
You want a light wet-and-dry vac with a tool socket for bench clean-up and decorating. The Evolution R15VAC is best value at about £78.00, with 4.6 from 759 reviews and a listed power take-off. The listing does not state an L, M or H class, so it is not the only control for fine wood dust or MDF.
You already run tools from a 110 V site transformer and you want the same stated M class. The Trend T32 110 V is about £129.00, with 4.1 from 34 reviews. It will not run from a normal 13 A socket. Reviews mention a wheel coming off, brittle plastic, failed catches and a failed switch.
The top pick is the Trend T32 240 V at about £114.95. It scores 82, the highest here: the amazon.co.uk bullets state M class and 99.9% filtration, on 240 V, with an 800 W motor, a 20 litre bin, a 3 m hose, a filter-clean button and a flow LED, and 4.1 from 142 reviews. No power take-off is stated. Reviews describe suction drop, flimsy clips, a hose that crimps, and a few motors that stopped after light use. Best value is the Evolution R15VAC at about £78.00. It has 4.6 from 759 reviews, wet and dry use and a listed power take-off, and no dust class. None of the five ASINs is a Holzmann machine. Holzmann UK lists the ABS850 at £239.99 and does not give it an L, M or H class.
