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.

henry quick. it's bagged, relatively cheap, in comparison to dyson. being bagged means better airflow and suction. U just buy pack of pods, with your case they will last you for 3 weeks at most, but much hygienic choice than dumping all the fur and dust outside. the pods will act like a trash contractor, it will squeeze the dust and fur, giving more volume than just clear bin in other cordless vacuums. By being bagged, or "podded" i should say, u dont have to wash filters or change them as much, also extends the life of the motor.

Top contenders: Henry Quick, Miele Duoflex or Triflex, Samsung Jet Bespoke AI, 85 or 75. LG A9 Cord Zero, Shark PowerDetect, Shark Vertex Pro. The Henry, Samsung Bespoke AI and Cord Zero A9 all feature a bagged mechanism of some kind which make them hygienically a step above the rest. The Henry is the only cordless that actually has a bag which is unique to this category.

Henry Quick is a very well liked option. Uses disposable bags (or pods, as Numatic call them). Advantage being there are no cyclones or filters to block up and require cleaning. Every time you replace the pod, you are also replacing the filter. Much less hassle to maintain and less to go wrong. Only downside is the brush tends to wrap hair but it's easy enough to pop out and clean.

I’m not sure on the Henry quick pulling in dirt from the sides…. However. Having owned both…. If you’re wanting a machine to use as your main vacuum then the Dyson Gen5 will perform better. It won’t last as long and isn’t built as well. But cleaning performance is fantastic when they’re working correctly. For quick cleans then the Henry offers better value due to the build quality and ease of use in terms of user maintenance. In an ideal world you’d have a mains powered machine to do weekly / deep cleans and only need to use the cordless for spot / daily vacuuming.

A Numatic Charles or George will be quite loud in comparison to your old Miele and also a lot less manoeuvrable as they’re a lot bigger. A Henry would be close to the noise level of your old Miele but is obviously dry use only. Personally I wouldn’t have a Charles or George as my main use dry vacuum for the noise and size issues. Honestly if you liked your Miele I’d just buy another as a Numatic machine won’t feel anywhere near as premium

The problems with cordless vacuums like the Dyson V8 and V10 are they have much less suction power than a corded vacuum and they are bagless vacuums so when you empty them they release a lot of allergens back into the air. If you really must have a cordless vacuum I'd look at the Henry Quick. It's a cordless vacuum with pods/bags instead of a bagless bin and filters. Suction isn't comparable to a corded vacuum but it will filter better and be much cleaner. I would look at a lightweight vacuum with a hepa bag. The Lindhaus Valzer is very light for a bagged upright, it has a hose and tools, and the brushroll is removable without tools for easy cleaning. The best vacuum is one that you like to use.

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’d highly recommend a canister vacuum cleaner with a dedicated bare-floor nozzle - the kind that’s just a brush with no wheels. Something like a Wessel-Werk CN250 or D 330 Turn & Clean. Both Miele and SEBO offer branded versions of these. These don’t have wheels and sit on just bristles. No plastic wheels and baseplates fo break. These glide over the uneven floors beautifully and strong suction will pick the dirt up out of the crevices. If you’re dealing with fine dust, bags are the way to go. No filters to wash, no dust cups to clean out, no plumes of dust. No, the bags won’t fill up instantly or loose suction the way old paper vacuum bags did. I’d strongly recommend looking at SEBO E3, or K3; Miele C1 or C3 canister with the Miele Parquet nozzle, Numatic Henry with the bare-floor only brush. If you find a canister you like that doesn’t have a no-wheels bare floor brush, you can get aftermarket ones either online or at your local vac shop. Most canisters use either a 35mm (Miele size) fitting, or generic 1 1/4” or 32mm fitting. Check out your local vacuum shop and let them know your flooring situation. They’ll be able to get you the exact attachments you need.

Miele's are great, but they're not really meant for hard commercial use. They have lots of refinement, but the bags are on the smaller side If it's just hard floors, and you have issues with hair, I'd go for a Numatic. Probably a James or a Henry, but they have lots of other similar ones. Very simple machines built to take abuse, huge bag capacities, low running costs. The James also has an easily replaceable cord If the supplied floor tools prove inadequate, a good upgrade would be the RD285 from Wessel Werk for handling hair

I'm from Singapore. I think good options would be Miele C1, C3, and Numatic Henry/James. You can even find a Lindhaus if you want. The bagged Bosch canisters would also be good options. The Miele C3 in Singapore is the 2000W pure suction model. Whether you want a turbo-brush or not, that's kinda borderline The Henry 160 would be quite expensive though. I got a quote from the distributor here and it's about $450SGD. You can ask the Numatic distributor about the various models they can bring in https://jeffsupplies.com/product-tag/numatic/ There's also a Lindhaus dealer (Supersteam) who could potentially bring in the Valzer or the HF6 Personally, I've owned the Henry, the HF6, and a Bosch GL-30 (roughly the Series 4). They will all do a great job on the hard floors and deal with your long hair. The combi tool should be OK on the rug, but you can always get an aftermarket turbo-brush from Wessel Werk/Miele/Numatic if there's a need The HF6 is the only one of the lot where an electric powerhead is an option (though I don't think it's really needed for your situation) As far as I know, there's no Sebo distributor in Singapore Henry's appear for cheap once in a while on Carousell. You can buy bags direct from the distributor for $40/10 bags

Henry’s are excellent. There’s a reason cleaning contractors use them. Looking for a vacuum with bells and whistles is pointless, just more to go wrong. Two dogs and cats. One of the dogs sheds vacuum killing amounts of hair. I’ve replaced the filters and the hose in 12 years. He’s still going!

A Henry should be at the top of your list, since it's affordable and manufactured in the UK.  You can use variety of parquet brushes and the horsehair ones would be great for LVP.  A miele or Sebo would be more expensive and would come with extra bells and whistles such as self retracting cords and better ergonomics, storage.  If you need to clean rugs, you can find a turbo attachment.  These options will last you 15+ years.   If you want something cordless, Dyson fluffy rollers are good for quick pickups and won't hurt the flooring.  The V8 absolute package includes a fluffy roller and goes on sale intermittently to be within your budget.  Keep in mind while it might be a space saving option and convenient, cordless stick vacuums usually last a couple of years before big problems arise, hence why the main recommendation is for bagged, plug in vacuums.

I've never head of a vaccuum cleaner with no consumable parts such as disposable bags, unfortunately. I wish I had one, that'd be great! Well the tiny cordless ones don't have disposable bags - you just pour the dust out into the litter bin - but they have *nowhere near* enough suction power for a couch. Vaccuming a couch needs a lot of suction power. Most durable brands have good suction power. Numatic (the ones with the faces on them) have fantastic suction power, are very durable, and it's easy to buy replacement parts if something breaks. It's a British brand so probably available in India. They are expensive, but less expensive than other vaccuums that are equally good. Since Numatic is so easy to repair, a secondhand Numatic might be a good choice?

Can't believe anyone rates Shark, had one to replace a Dyson and it was rubbish, worse than the Dyson was. Anti-hair wrap just means 'wraps differently' in my experience. Piddling power, constantly needed cleaning/ detangling/ emptying and cost quite a bit. Bought a Henry as the HVAC engineers I work with use them, never looked back. Powerful, big capacity, long hoses and cables. Dirt cheap too.

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.

This is 100% not accurate. Dysons are very poor performers and most don’t recommend them. That particular Kirby model 18 to 21 years old and can’t even buy it new anymore, and most people who like Kirby’s don’t even recommend them. Cordless vacuums are mediocre at best. This may be the most recommended vacuums among the general public, but for most aficionados, they know to stay away from the vast majority of these. There are a few good ones in there. The Mieles, the Henry, the Kirby is at least a reliable cleaner and a cheap option.

I love my Henry and wish I would have purchased him years ago. I do recommend him but only to people who have no carpet and very very few rugs. Henry is amazing but he does not do great on carpeting.

r_doood is spot on. The Numatic Henry is a great option for you. I use the Wessel Werk RD285 head he mentioned. It's excellent for picking up stuff like hair, dust, and dry dirt. It's outstanding for getting under chairs, tables, anything low to the ground. Comparable vacuums would be the Kärcher T12/1 or the IPC LP. Plenty of great options in the small commercial canister vac segment well within your budget.

You can't go wrong with the Henry's. They last 7 years until you use it on a building site then 2 years isn't very good going for for it

Seconding Henry hoovers. They’re bulky and clunky but you’ll spend the £100approx once and not have to worry about them dying. In the time I’ve had my Henry I’ve gone through three hand held dysons and a handheld shark. Neither were worth the inflated money I paid for them, the Henry however is absolutely 10/10

I bought a reconditioned Henry from eBay four years ago. It lives in my in unheated garage workshop where temperatures have ranged from +40 to -5°. I’ve used it to suck up everything from screws, dust, stones and damp soil. Whatever I feed my little guy he consumes with gusto. Why get anything else

Dyson - we've had 2 or 3 handhelds. OK day to day for the hard floors and pretty good for carpets occasionally. Fills up quickly and does a better job than our cleaner's vac but eventually bits break. Normally just out of warranty and parts aren't available directly so I end up on ebay. I'm not convinced it's worth the price tag TBH Shark - I'll look at this next time for price point on handhelds Henry - we've had ours for about 15 years. He's done several renovations, sucked up all sorts of horrible stuff including garden waste. That thing is bullet proof and if it eve does go wrong, it's simple enough to fix Miele - I'm going to look at this next time as it gets some good reccos here Father in law likes his Vax

Every so often at a UK holiday complex salesmen would turn up to try and replace the 200+ Numatic Henry vacuums they had. They would take them to a restaurant next to a beach, and get them to vac the mats full of sand. Many didn't even last though the demo.

I've got two Henry's and a George. The first Henry I got in 2000 and he's been used and abused daily. Fell down the stairs once (wasn't me). Repair is easy, so far a power switch, hose cuff kit, a neck cuff and a new 3 pin plug. Might need a new hose in the next few years point as it's starting to coil up. Parts are pennies from eBay.

Sebo got the x4 pet and x7 upright every part is user replaceable, they last years.. 6 litre dust bag we use them in domestic care homes. Henry a simple vaccum sturdy enough but not good on deep pile carpets, plus if u forecful the hose comes off if henry is stuck around the corner. Dyson crap plastic useless.. Miele had the older revolution 5000 series cylinder wat a hoover you can use a powered head and it acts like a upright plus u can get the car kit set to use.. Mine lasted 15 years the powered switch failed miele wanted £150 ... ouch wasnt worth repairing it

Beetje afhankelijk van je situatie, zelf woon ik alleen in een klein appartement, en heb goede ervaring met de AEG steelstofzuiger. Heb je huisdieren? Een normale sledestofzuiger. Heb je een groot gezin of woon je in een boerderij waar veel vuil naar binnen word gestampt? Een Henry. Heb je allergieën? Iets met een HEPA filter.

Henry, or any of the other Numatic models. No question. They may look like a toy but there is a reason every professional cleaner here has one. They're so cheap in the UK for what they are because they are made here. £130 will buy you a brand new one, but an second hand one is a perfectly good option too. They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use), have very powerful suction, you can get bags easily, and the cord length is insane. The bags are big and don't need changing often. The only thing a Henry isn't so great for is deep pile carpet. Probably best to get an upright as well for that. To be fair though, I haven't tried one with a powered brush head, so maybe they can do long carpet well with one of those.

Henry has much worse suction than a fancy top-of-the-range thing, but most people find them adequate. They last forever though and like the original land rovers can be fixed with very simple tools by almost anyone. All the Miele/Dyson/portable stuff we've ever had has been garbage; Henry just keeps on going. Bags cost me like £3 every 5 years or something. \+1 for Henry. The other option is to get a robot. There are whole subs for those things. If you have pets they're probably the best route - but they do require that you keep the floors cleared for them so they can run.

Small 2 bed house with carpets in every room except kitchen and bathroom. 2 cats and one of the carpets is really thick. Got rid of our shark vac and got a henry with the £30 special carpet head they do. Best decision I've made. Can go over the carpet once and it's clean. Don't need to empty Henry each room. Doing the stairs isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I've got three vacuums 😂 (all bought second hand!). I have a small dyson ball which is great for carpets, I have a miele pet which I use on wooden floors and tight corners etc and my poor henry is relegated to being the shed vacuum 🤣 Like I said all my vacuums were bought second hand, I think the most I paid was £20 for the miele and they all work perfectly.
