Ik heb de Bosch BCH86SIL1. Was nog geen 300 euro, en heb hem nu sinds januari 2023. Ding werkt perfect en zuigt zeer goed. Dagelijks doe ik mijn appartement van 190m2 met een kat en 2 konijnen. Moest het kapot gaan koop ik er nog 1.

I have a Bosch Athlet which I bought about 8 years ago, its nice and light and its cordless, but it really is crap. I need to buy a Henry.

The black and decker you mentioned is only 46 euros at mediamarkt 43 euros onn amazon. Not a huge risk to give it a try......... 2K reviews on amazon and it's weighing in at 3.9 with 11% 1 star reviews. Common complaints are poor materials/construction and only lasts a year: [https://www.amazon.de/-/en/product-reviews/B08J7HZW77/ref=acr\_dp\_hist\_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one\_star&reviewerType=all\_reviews#reviews-filter-bar](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/product-reviews/B08J7HZW77/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar) But for the price you could buy a new one every year and it would take a decade before you had paid the price of one dyson....... On amazon this is the top selling corded stick. Twice as much as the black and decker (80ish euros) but 4.5. out of 5 starts with 1k+ reviews and it has an active brush roll that will be better for some surfaces: [https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vexilar-C8-Vacuum-Cleaner-Cable/dp/B0F2H83GGY](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vexilar-C8-Vacuum-Cleaner-Cable/dp/B0F2H83GGY) Commenting on what I've owned: We really like our Bosch Athlet. It's battery operated and yeah it degrades after 3 or 4 years then we just get a new one. Have not found anything better and use it more often than our. corded felix. Numatic has a corded stick I'm interested in but I've not seen it in germany yet and. numatic UK is showing it as out of stock: [https://www.myhenry.com/henry-quick-corded](https://www.myhenry.com/henry-quick-corded)

Go to reviews of stick vacuums, find the most reputable brand with the best battery life, most suction power, largest dirt holder and try find one with a detachable hand held option as well, but make sure it's in your price range. I ended up with a Bosch and it's great, will get another Bosch if this ever dies, 5 years strong.

Bought a Bosch one. The first one we got was a dud, the main switch failed after a week. Got a replacement and it's been great, I don't think we've used a larger vacuum cleaner since then.
