HVB160 Cordless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

Bagged upright choices are, unfortunately, very slim in the UK these days. If you can stretch your budget by around £20 or so, the Sebo Felix is a great choice and is on offer currently. That's one of the few corded bagged uprights you can get full stop, luckily it's a good one. Good all around performance, optional swappable floor heads to suit different surfaces better (rare for an upright). Good filtration, suction, easy bag change etc. I'd definitely look at getting the optional extension hose to help with stair cleaning though as the on board hose is on the short side. If you'd rather explore cordless options, the Henry cordless is pretty good and bagged. The Miele triflex or duoflex models, while bagless, are much better made than the sharks you're used to.

Corded one would definitely be more powerful, just given the lack of options I'd throw some other choices out there. Performance wise the henry cordless is on par with sharks and probably a bit better on carpet. Also less maintainence, since replacing the bag replaces the main filter each time. It doesn't lose performance over the course of months like many others do. For shear power and longevity the sebo is definitely the better overall option.

Great under certain circumstances. Henry cordless isn't very powerful. Usable for hard floors and attachments but pretty ineffective for carpet, no motorized brushbar either. And very expensive for what it is in north america. A numatic NBV, very similar, has a vastly upgraded motor and battery. But still no rotating brush and even more expensive in north america. For these reasons, I can't really recommend them.

Just wanted to clarify those points for OP anyway. I have a Henry cordless and love it for what it is but due to the cost there's hardly anyone I'd recommend it to! Need to get an nbv at some point.

https://www.myhenry.com/henry-cordless not as compact as other solutions but in a world of sub par cordless cleaners it actually behaves like a mains powered one.

1. power isn't an issue. Wattage on the upper end cordless dysons is as much or more than some of the corded miele canister vacs sold in my country. 2. Definitely more bagged corded available than just numatic/henry. 3. Weight in the handl. I have a have a canister and there are more than a few others on the market. I also have a nice cordless upright that we love (not available in the USA, bosch Athlet). Meile makes the triflex which can be configued as an upright. 4. My henry cordless canister has the same exact filtration as my henry corded.

I just got the cordless Henry a few weeks ago and really love it!

I got the Henry cordless because I love my trusty Henry original. Still love old Henry, but hate the cordless. Was ok on carpet, but rubbish on hard flooring.

I've tried Shark and G-Tech but I got a Henry cordless recently and I'll never try anything else. It's lighter and more powerful than any other cordless I've tried and the battery lasts so much longer. I'm disabled and I was struggling with the shark but Henry is so easy to use and carry because of the handle design. I actually love the bags too, it makes it easier to empty.

Henry could suck a golf ball through a hose pipe! That fucker is epic. Gets my vote too. Also, fuck Dyson.
