Numatic International - Henry HVR160

While I’m based in the UK, of course most of my personal knowledge would be of the UK market. However, I assume the EU market is fairly similar. For a budget corded vac, the go to would be a Henry. They’re okay, they do the job, but of course they’re not the best. With your location in mind, I’d say possibly a small budget friendly end bagged bosch vacuum maybe suitable for your needs. Especially since you’ve mentioned you have mainly hard floors. Miele is also another great option with a few budget friendly models. https://www.aquario.pt/en/product/bosch-bagged-vacuum-cleaner-bgbs2lb1-bgbs2lb1 Whilst this non-affiliated vacuum linked doesn’t have “HEPA” or another “standardised post filtration”, it maybe a better use for weekly-monthly “deep cleaning”. However, If you suffer with asthma issues, or other lung problems, any modern SEBO vacuum of your choice would suffice for a great reduction in symptoms. This is mainly because of motor dust. All vacuums have many moving parts, which can contribute towards poor indoor air quality. While the amount of carbon dust & “micro plastic air pollution” emitted by most vacuum cleaners is fairly low (less than a few milligrams per use), this can of course aggravate asthmatic symptoms. Having a vacuum cleaner with decent post motor filtration helps a lot, and having a bagged microfibre fleece / non woven fabric vacuum dust bag.

I love a Henry. If you have a basic Henry you can just get the Hairo / Airo attachment and he'll pick up all the fluff.

We have Dyson, Miele and Henry. Dyson cordless is the best for daily convenience but not so good for a deep clean and it's quite high maintenance with all the charging, emptying, filter washing, getting hair off the brushes etc. Miele is solid and the suction is bonkers but I wouldn't use it for building work etc as I want to keep it nice. Henry is the work horse for cleaning the log burner, mud, brick, sick. You can chuck anything at him but he falls over a lot.

Henry is the answer.

Anything other than stick vacuums. Cordless, stick vacuums are convenient, but require frequent cleaning of their filter to keep airflow / suction up to expectations. Vacuums with disposable bags (eg canister vacuums) often offer better filtration overall and you clean out most of the dust and debris that would clog up stick vacuums. I have dogs that shed a lot, and stick vacuums struggle to stay functional for long. A couple years ago I went down a rabbit hole researching canister vacuums, before buying a new one. Miele vacuums were always highly recommended. I ended up buying the [Henry vacuum](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KKHT2Q/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_SESB9F753B1AE4VQNPQQ?linkCode=ml1&tag=slicehardwa05-20&linkId=793a73b453ef57bd110018bab42b8ecc). While it looks playful, the vacuum has incredible suction and is super quiet. The quietest vacuum I’ve owned. The build materials of the handle and attachments is simple, but I think that leads to its durability. There are very few clips or levers that are a point of failure on other vacuums.

Henry everyday , no hoover in existence marketed as good for dog hair has lived up to my Henry’s ability to deal with husky fur .

If quiet is important Henry is the quietest. HVR 160/200.

Ok. Get a Henry, quieter, even the 160 is larger at 6L, similar tools with an AS0 kit and significantly more suction (waterlift).

If it's top heavy my answer is, you're using it wrong and probably PULLING the machine vs. the vacuum trailing you. Henry will tip if he's stuck on something and is pulled by the house. The poster above mentioning falling down the stairs - a Miele can't fall down the stairs? Be more careful...

I bought a small Henry 2-3 years ago after seeing reviews on this sub as well as seeing a clip on YT from a vacuum store that reviews vacuums. It was the one they used to clean their own store. I was sold and I love it. Not being in the UK I paid a higher price, but I think it's worth it.

Henry with hepa bags little to no dust with that set up.

I'd just get Henry with parquet brush - always a reliable work horse

Is it? Miele is more expensive in Europe, some models go triple the price of Henry

Numatic Henry 160, Miele Classic C1, Sebo Airbelt K2 Kombi. An electric brush head on the Sebo doesn’t seem necessary for you tbh, I think you’d like any of these.
