Numatic International - Henry Compact Xtra HVX160

Miele C1 turbo team, Sebo k2 turbo or Henry xtra No wrong answers amongst the 3.

You could get a BIFL level vacuum for a little over budget. Sebo Felix or K3. If not, a Henry Xtra over any shark for sure.

Henry Xtra! 🇬🇧

Henry has hepaflo bags. Or look at the “clean air” model. And generally speaking all bagless vacuums are terrible (see: your Dyson that broke). Yes you’ll have the reoccurring cost of bags, but the Henry will last you a couple of decades. So you won’t have to waste money buying a whole new unit every few years like you would with a modern bagless. Also the bags henry uses are massive. I’d be shocked if you used more than 2 a year.

Check out a Miele C1 turbo team, Sebo k2 turbo or Henry xtra. Use the turbo head on your rug. The Miele and Sebo have cord rewind, but the Henry doesn’t. All 3 are excellent options though as long as you don’t plan on having wall to wall carpets or more rugs/thicker pile rugs over the next 20 years or so.

Yep ^ adding a Henry 160 too. And all 3 manufacturers have an additional turbo hand attachment great for upholstery.

Definitely avoid the shark like the plague. Grab a Miele C1 pure suction, Sebo k2 kombi or Henry 160. These will all work exceptionally well on your flooring. I don’t have a good rec for robot vacs though.

It’s difficult because we’ve been programmed with marketing dollars that a “vacuum” = cordless stick. Which is not the case! If you want something decent, you’ll need something *corded and bagged*. Miele Classic C1, Complete C3, Sebo k1, Henry Xtra. These are all very light in the hand (lighter than a stick) since the motor glides along behind you. Also - All of the brands above also sell an additional turbo brush meant for pet hair on furniture, I’d look at that accessory too!

You’re in the UK, get a Henry Xtra or Sebo Felix or K3. All of these are MILES better.

If you want to save a bit henry xtra is a good vacuum with long hoae and all attachments

Henry Xtra is the way to go

My Henry Xtra could handle that. It's amazing.

\> Miele Classic C1, Complete C3, Sebo k1, Henry Xtra. Which one of these is $250 was my first thought then I saw this was for someone in europe. So the Meile Classic C1, Complete C2 (but not the C3), Sebo K1 and henry xtra would be under 250 euros. I'd also ad the Sebo Felix 4. It's a european model of the felix without the power head that sells for 200 euros then you could get a used ET-1 on ebay to bring it close to the 250 euro budget (they normally go for around 100 euros). ( Have the felix, don't love it but it's right for some folks). The only problem with all of those is none of them come with powered head and with 50% carpet + pets the dyson/dreme might do better with the active agitation, plus get used more if it's not the cluster fudge of a canister with wands and hoses all over the place and a cord to hook up and pull out every single time you vacuum up a crumb. I would hate using a turbo brush with pets/hair as most don't have an easy brush roll for easy cleaning.

How much is the Numatic Henry 160 in CAN? I know they are pretty cheap in the UK and marked up by 300% in the US.

Too bad. From what I've seen via product reviews, the Numatic Henry 160 seems to be the best "bang for the buck" canister vacuum-wise if you have a mixture of hard floors and low pile carpet/area rugs and have pets. I'm in the US and just got a 160 Xtra for $420 from QVC. I'm hoping that the reviews are proved right once I get it later this week.

You have a duty to God & country to buy a 🇬🇧Numatic Henry 160.

Trash all of them, none of those are good vacuums (except the Miele). Also look into the Simplicity Jill, Henry 160 and Sebo K2.
