Allergy HVA160

Robot vacs are great for keeping up with daily cleaning, but us allergy and asthma sufferers need to vacumn mattresses, couches, carpets etc regularly with an allergy vacumn as well. Make sure you buy a special allergy vacumn that doesn't just blow the dust out the back of the motor. I have [this one](https://www.myhenry.com/henry-allergy). Do your mattress and pillow covers zip closed? Try to get a mattress protector that actually zips around the entire mattress. A cover that just goes over the top does little for preventing dust mites. [Humidity ](https://www.lung.org/clean-air/indoor-air/indoor-air-pollutants/dust-mites) is the most important factor in determining whether a house has high levels of dust mites. Try to reduce your indoor humidity as much as possible.

Preach. Miele’s turning into Dyson-lite and it’s sad. Check out SEBO K2/K3 or even Numatic Henry Allergy. They're built like tanks, bags are cheap, filters are solid, no Wi-Fi nonsense.

I switched from Miele to a Henry Allergy model and like it a lot. I still like Miele’s hard floor brush so I have that rigged on the Henry. I think Miele have the best air filtration but Henry is very close and hundreds less $.

My understanding is that the the Henrys (except for the Henry Allergy) do not have HEPA filtration. The HEPA-FLO bags that they sell are not actually HEPA filters - they use it as a trademark rather than to indicate it is HEPA filtration which is why I am not too keen on their HEPA claims for the Henry Allergy. Are they sweeping something under the carpet? I otherwise think Henry is an awesome vacuum cleaner except that I used the HEPA FLO bags for a while until I discovered that they were not true HEPA so felt deceived. Are you aware of any third party testing for Henry Allergy?

I went for the green hypoallergenic Henry. Good for pethair

I like Henry but Henry lacks suction speed control. For a plush delicate rug the gentlest cleaning is done with a combo brush, brisles retracted, and you can turn down the suction to the appropriate level. The Miele C1 Pure Suction and Sebo K2 Kombi are 2 canister vacuums that you should look at. Both have tools to clean baseboards and much more. The Miele C1 is a little lighter and quieter. The Sebo K2 is a little more durable and it has a longer cord.

For cordless vacuums I think an effective multi-cyclone system is a must so that the filter doesn't get clogged to quickly. Removable and replaceable batteries are also a must have so that the vacuum isn't a paperweight if the battery wears out or fails. Look for a brand with replacement parts available such as the brushroll, filters, and batteries. I recommend the LG CordZero Kompressor for cordless vacuums and you should add the LG Slim Floor Nozzle with the soft brushroll since you have all hard floors. Overall the LG CordZero is a good cordless vacuum I'd definitely get one of the models with the Kompressor lever because it helps empty the bin without having to stick your fingers in it. LG sells a bunch of different models so I'd look for one with a charging stand, 2 batteries, and the Kompressor lever. One of the Auto-Empty bins would be nice too. Even though the LG is a good cordless vacuum a corded canister vacuum will be the vacuum you want for weekly deep cleans. The Sebo K2 Kombi and Henry Allergy are 2 very powerful but quiet canister vacuums. The hose and tools will be much easier to use for above floor cleaning than holding all the weight of a cordless vacuum. If you walk barefoot, you can feel that a corded vacuum cleans hard floors more thoroughly than any cordless vacuum. So my recommendation is a good cordless vacuum and a good corded canister vacuum. You can get by with just a cordless vacuum but I think you'll really appreciate what a good corded vacuum can add.

A bagged vacuum with Hepa bags or synthetic bags are usually better at filtering air than bagless vacuums. Bagless vacuums have more seals and detachable parts that can get dirty or warped. Most bagless vacuums have a foam filter and a small hepa filter. Most bagged vacuums have a large hepa/synthetic bag and a synthetic or hepa exhaust filter. Henry vacuums all have hepa bags and they are a certified steal in the U.K. The compact Henry and Hetty are currently £129. The Henry Allergy £159 and Henry Clean Air £199 use the hepa bags plus a hepa exhaust filter so they're even better for allergies. They're are also sorts of store specials and sales so check around. Thoughts?

I haven't tried the new Bissell SpotClean C5, but I know the Bissell SpotClean HydroSteam is quieter than the older SpotClean Pro series. So I think it's reasonable that the Bissell SpotClean C5 is quieter than the old SpotClean Pet/ProHeat series. I have a Henry vacuum and they are very quiet. It's larger than the Bissell spot cleaners but the Numatic Geroge can do carpet cleaning and regular dry vacuuming and it should be a quieter machine. You could vacuum and then spot clean with the same machine with a George.

I agree with the Henry recommendation, they're very durable vacuums with strong suction, but they are surprisingly quiet. Henry 160 is the smallest canister good for homes. I think you should check out the Henry 200 and Henry 240, their bag compartment holds more and the cords are longer. I think your clients will really like his face and you can draw/add some body builder arms on his tub. Henry fits standard 1.25 inch tools so adding a good Wessel Werk hard floor brush is easy. Backpack vacuums are good for covering large areas that are not cramped or confined. I do not like backpacks if you have to bend and move stuff a lot or stop vacuuming frequently.

All of the cheaper cordless vacuums have more battery and motor problems within a year. No matter the price or brand I recommend getting a cordless vacuum with replaceable batteries and replacement parts available. It looks like the Xiaomi G20 does not have a replaceable battery so I would avoid that. If you live in the U.K. I would take advantage of the amazing prices you have on Henrys. The Henry Quick Pet is on sale for £219 and a regular corded Henry is £129. Thoughts?

Iso +1 Henrylle, se vihreä allergiamalli tarkalleen. Ihan pomminvarma laite, ei ole montaa hajoavaa osaa.
