Henry Quick (HVB160)

If you want to swap batteries, go with the Numatic Quick. The batteries themselves last an hour so you may only need one. We charge ours like every 6 weeks.

I'm in Canada, have a dog that sheds and a wife that uses the Quick for far too much and it has done a good job. The Pods last longer than you'd think, every single one is packed full. We have one battery and it's tough to say how long it lasts because the vacuum runs in short bursts but it gets charged probably every 6-8 weeks.

I use my Quick for mostly small, hard floor cleanups. It's does a good job and the minimal carpet I do have isn't a problem, though it's not my primary. The pod is nice, it makes emptying clean because I'm not digging through the chamber. The battery lasts an hour so we charge it every 6 weeks or so.

If it helps at all they are only manufacturing more and a new dedicated factory is being built to handle the demand. I understand the reticence though. I do know with the pods they capture more dirt so that's less going back into the air + when you empty, the dirt is in the pod so it stays contained.

I absolutely love my Henry Quick. Pricey but worth every penny. Picks up pebbles no problem. Easy to use good design, quiet, uses bags so it’s easy to empty. Also my back doesn’t hurt like when I use conventional vacuum.

I love my Henry quick

Easy to clean and cheap, see if you can get a Henry Quick. Henry is a very old and well trusted vacuum cleaning brand in the UK used in commercial environments and at home. They’re cheap and reliable, they’re known for these big tubs on wheels that have a HEPPA filter bag that collects the dust and you replace, no filters or anything, and they’ve just released a new stick vacuum called Henry Quick, which again has a small bag that’s the filter too, so no filter washing and loss of suction. You can most likely get one shipped from the UK, and I imagine the bags can be found on Amazon anyways.
