I've used one machine from their trade range that looked very similar to this. I think it was an earlier but equivalent 2.2kW model and certainly needed a 16A supply which the next size down might well manage without. All the details were the same, drum, cyclone, manometer, pleated cartridge filter....

It was badly installed and petformance was awful.

I don't like the flappy paddle filter cleaners. I don't think they work very well and they wear the inside of the filter, but compressed air reverse airflow cleaning is possibly out of your reach so no choice.
It's real world performance will be much less than.the spec suggests.

Lastly, unless you duct this in 200mm smooth bore ducting, you are wasting your time and money. Run it in 100mm and after a couple of bends it's a total waste of time. If you can't commit to ducting full bore, don't buy this.

That bin looks pretty small too?

Better it discharged into typical clear bags for easy removal and disposal.
