If you go for a Henry (620w) get the George (1060w). It's wet and dry comes with everything and has more power than the Henry post eu 900w power cap. Unless you can find a pre eu power cap with 1200w. It also has a bigger bag so bags last longer between changes. But unfortunately doesn't come with a rotating brush to pick up pet hair from carpets. The pet xl comes with a brush but 620w.

The numatic Henry with a tile head would work. Take the wheels off the tile head to help lift the chalk. We used to use Henry when we did builders cleans, lots of plaster dust went through that bad boy and he lasted over 10 years. Cannot recommend that vacuum any more. I bought my own after using the work one for years haha.

Henry every day, get the pet hair brush attachment too though, bags are SO much better and cleaner, I love not having to clean out a dirty dusty looking clear basket and no more washing filters. Just a cheap box of Henry brand bags from the supermarket every 6 months or so. Henry filters never need cleaning or replacing if you use good bags, they are just a failsafe in case the bag breaks. https://www.myhenry.com/henrypetkit

The big white thing that acts as a seal between the bucket and motor top.

Hands down the Henry. I have had two sharks, a Dyson and a Hoover upright, all bagless. My Henry Pet has out lasted them all and Neumatic have great customer service and are a UK made product.

Went the othery. Had a shark, constantly had to clean it, replaced filters etc. Henry is a Joe in comparison.

I bought a Shark a few years ago, huge hype about them and when I wanted a new hoover it was my first choice. Big mistake. Waste of money. I have a pet Henry and it’s a brilliant bagged hoover

The green Henry hoover for pets. Great little hoover.

Green Henry - I think it’s the pet version, works like a charm and will take no end of abuse, however he behaves like a stroppy / drunken teenager - wobbling about and falling over at every opportunity.
