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.

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.

The green Henry hoover for pets. Great little hoover.

I've had a few and basically any vacuum with a spinning brush attachment works well for picking up pet hair. I use a Dyson cordless for day to day bits and bobs and Henry with a hairo / airo attachement for bigger jobs like clearing up after builders.

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.
