Turbo HVR200T-2

Henry every day, get the pet hair brush attachment too though, bags are SO much better and cleaner, I love not having to clean out a dirty dusty looking clear basket and no more washing filters. Just a cheap box of Henry brand bags from the supermarket every 6 months or so. Henry filters never need cleaning or replacing if you use good bags, they are just a failsafe in case the bag breaks. https://www.myhenry.com/henrypetkit

The big white thing that acts as a seal between the bucket and motor top.

I have two, one is a couple of years old (650w motor) and the other is a relic (1200w motor). Whilst the older one does have more suction, both are phenomenal for the price.

Have one and does well on rugs and floor (get the Turbo head). Also simple design and easy to repair yourself if something breaks.

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.

HEPA is a term most people know, in filtration terms it's kind of the first reasonable step a household or commercial building would need for better indoor air quality. The trouble with a HEPA filter is dust like that can clog it up, rendering the filter moot and overworking the motor. If you have hard floors I'd get a Henry (HVR 160 or 200) with a bag, that'll actually give you HEPA filtration (but not certified). The bag will capture all the dust you need and you'll have more than enough vacuum for your house going forward.

If it's top heavy my answer is, you're using it wrong and probably PULLING the machine vs. the vacuum trailing you. Henry will tip if he's stuck on something and is pulled by the house. The poster above mentioning falling down the stairs - a Miele can't fall down the stairs? Be more careful...

Ok. Get a Henry, quieter, even the 160 is larger at 6L, similar tools with an AS0 kit and significantly more suction (waterlift).

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.

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.

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?
