Numatic International - HVR200-22

Henry 4 the win

My Henry is 15 years old and eats like a new machine My shark is on its 2nd motor,3rd power head and 2nd hose.

I've got a fullsize Henry and a Shark handheld, best of both worlds 👍

Henry for work (in the trades), Sebo for home.

Henry's are great, only thing shark has on them is the newer ones are cordless

I’ve got a 20 year old Henry for downstairs and a shark for upstairs. The Henry is better by a mile

Hey same here! Our Ryobi supplements the Henry 200 and my wife loves to use it because of the floor head LED, hah. Most of my tools are Dewalt but the Ryobi was a great deal at the time (came with 3 batteries) and it’s also nice to be able to buy the random Ryobi tool you may need in the future. I’ve bought two fans so far. If I could somehow modify it to use bags, it would be an S tier stick. How people somehow prefer bagless is beyond me.

Haha, honestly we love ours. Our main vacuum is a Henry 200 which is an absolute beast, but my wife wanted something for quick pickups (and an LED indicator) Sounds stupid, but honestly the best vacuum is going to be one the individual wants to use Typically more of a Dewalt guy, but the Ryobi vacuum came with two 5ah batteries and a 2ah for a hell of a deal. Also, Ryobi is great for that “odd” tool Dewalt doesn’t have (or just has it overpriced)

I agree with the Henry recommendation, they're very durable vacuums with strong suction, but they are surprisingly quiet. Henry 160 is the smallest canister good for homes. I think you should check out the Henry 200 and Henry 240, their bag compartment holds more and the cords are longer. I think your clients will really like his face and you can draw/add some body builder arms on his tub. Henry fits standard 1.25 inch tools so adding a good Wessel Werk hard floor brush is easy. Backpack vacuums are good for covering large areas that are not cramped or confined. I do not like backpacks if you have to bend and move stuff a lot or stop vacuuming frequently.

All of the cheaper cordless vacuums have more battery and motor problems within a year. No matter the price or brand I recommend getting a cordless vacuum with replaceable batteries and replacement parts available. It looks like the Xiaomi G20 does not have a replaceable battery so I would avoid that. If you live in the U.K. I would take advantage of the amazing prices you have on Henrys. The Henry Quick Pet is on sale for £219 and a regular corded Henry is £129. Thoughts?

Samsung stopped making corded vacuums for some time so these are all older vacuums. The picture is of a suction-only vacuum, no carpet powerhead so it's best for hard floors. The cyclone and filter are above average for a bagless vacuum. But it's still a bagless vacuums so that means it's not good for allergies and it requires more maintenance. I wouldn't get a used Samsung bagless vacuum if this is going to be your primary vacuum. Don't buy it unless you're a collector. For regular daily use the Henry Hoover is so much better and brand new prices are pretty cheap if you're in the UK. If you have carpets get a Sebo with a carpet powerhead.

I like Henry but Henry lacks suction speed control. For a plush delicate rug the gentlest cleaning is done with a combo brush, brisles retracted, and you can turn down the suction to the appropriate level. The Miele C1 Pure Suction and Sebo K2 Kombi are 2 canister vacuums that you should look at. Both have tools to clean baseboards and much more. The Miele C1 is a little lighter and quieter. The Sebo K2 is a little more durable and it has a longer cord.

I haven't tried the new Bissell SpotClean C5, but I know the Bissell SpotClean HydroSteam is quieter than the older SpotClean Pro series. So I think it's reasonable that the Bissell SpotClean C5 is quieter than the old SpotClean Pet/ProHeat series. I have a Henry vacuum and they are very quiet. It's larger than the Bissell spot cleaners but the Numatic Geroge can do carpet cleaning and regular dry vacuuming and it should be a quieter machine. You could vacuum and then spot clean with the same machine with a George.

Don’t buy a Dyson. Heap of shit. Get yourself a Miele or a Henry with bags. Or a Shark if you want something cordless for quick jobs. 

We had many failed hoovers before a henry, which we've now had for... fifteen years?! They're amazing
