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?

Commercial grade (Numatic) Henry, easy to fix and durable,I am tempted to get the back pack version! Shark is fiddly to repair, especially when it gets clogged up, they have made it to be unfixable by the average user and require special tools to take them apart, you also need an extra set of filters, so one set can be used while the ones being cleaned and dried before next use. On the Henry, HEPA filter bag all contained, and just replace when 70-80% full (before i notice any performance drop), also the attachements can be purchased separately and standard fit with all models. Dysons don't have standard attachements with diffrent series.

Ohh I would be torn. I have a Henry for the dirty jobs like my DIY as its indistructable. I have my cordelss shark for everyday use and then a Dyson for heavy but non dirty jobs.

Henry all day. Robust, reliable and still made in Britain (unlike the bastard traitor Dyson or sharks that are Chinese made) Skarks are decent, lightweight and very easy to store away but you can’t beat a Henry or Hetty

Our Henry canister vacuum is impressive. Great on hardwood and carpet. I bought one for my daughter, her son loves it so much he vacuums the house for fun.

You need a drum vacuum cleaner. They can hold more, get less blockages and lose less suction when getting full. If available i would recommend Henry the hoover, there's a reason so many cleaners and builders use them!
