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!

While I understand your preference for something compact, light weight, easy to use & affordable. Your budget maybe better spent on our Native & British assembled Numatic Henry Vacuums. The reason being is because of their incredibly reliable motors & simple design. Which in turn equals less maintenance & time spent on keeping the damn thing running. Think; Do I have time to basically jet wash a bagless vacuum cleaner every 3 - 6 months? At the moment and if you can stretch to it, on the official Henry web store is the “Home Henry” on special offer for £129 Which includes a few additional tools and an air powered brush head to help remove hair from carpets. https://www.myhenry.com/henry-home (Non affiliated link) Unfortunately however, it appears to be currently out of stock. But they do have a stock notifier box, if you would like to use that facility.

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.

Henry has hepaflo bags. Or look at the “clean air” model. And generally speaking all bagless vacuums are terrible (see: your Dyson that broke). Yes you’ll have the reoccurring cost of bags, but the Henry will last you a couple of decades. So you won’t have to waste money buying a whole new unit every few years like you would with a modern bagless. Also the bags henry uses are massive. I’d be shocked if you used more than 2 a year.

It’s shaped like a small shop-vac. I don’t find it “bulky” but that’s personal preference. All the pieces disconnect and break down so if you have a cabinet or closet it can store quite compactly. Not as compact as a stick, but the huge bump in performance is worth it IMO. Being in the UK there is bound to be a store where you can see the Henry for yourself and decide if it will work for you. The Quick is probably the best stick vac on the market. Just don’t expect a 20yr lifespan like you can with the corded Henry’s.

Check out a Miele C1 turbo team, Sebo k2 turbo or Henry xtra. Use the turbo head on your rug. The Miele and Sebo have cord rewind, but the Henry doesn’t. All 3 are excellent options though as long as you don’t plan on having wall to wall carpets or more rugs/thicker pile rugs over the next 20 years or so.

No wrong answers amongst the 3! If you do have a Miele/Sebo dealer nearby, stop in for a test drive. They Henry may be hard to source locally though and will need to be ordered online. The biggest differences are 1) Miele has the shortest cord 2) the Henry has a manual cord rewind, the other two are automatic 3) the Henry’s bag is massive. And yes. The Miele is less expensive because it doesn’t have the electric powerhead (used for wall to wall carpets) which would be totally overkill for you. Those models *start* at $775. I’d also caution ordering from Amazon (specifically for the Miele) look around the sub, there are dozens and dozens of examples of people getting used/broken machines being sold as “new”.

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?

Too bad. From what I've seen via product reviews, the Numatic Henry 160 seems to be the best "bang for the buck" canister vacuum-wise if you have a mixture of hard floors and low pile carpet/area rugs and have pets. I'm in the US and just got a 160 Xtra for $420 from QVC. I'm hoping that the reviews are proved right once I get it later this week.

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.

Dyson - we've had 2 or 3 handhelds. OK day to day for the hard floors and pretty good for carpets occasionally.

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.

Bagged vacuums require maintenance every 2-3 months, when you throw the bag away and replace it with a new one. Very low maintenance I would suggest a corded vacuum as well. As you've discovered, cordless vacuums only really work well in high power mode, which they're not designed to be used in for sustained periods of time. With a small apartment, the Henry 160 should have a long enough cord that you won't need to unplug it. Just plug into a somewhat central plug Canister vacuums have all the weight on the floor. The wands are very minimalist and can get under furniture easily A Wessel Werk RD285 floor tool you can get as an aftermarket part is ideal for dealing with fur on hard surfaces You don't need a rotating brush as a corded suction only vacuum with good suction is enough to clean hard floors well

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

Honestly I think the perfect combo is to have a robot to do the regular work and then a Henry for the big jobs.

I spent close to €500 on a Dyson 4 years ago and it died on me last night (RIP!). But it was on the blink for months, ill never rebuy. My next handheld will be Shark, they’re supposed to be brilliant. For plug ins it used be Henry but the EU changed maximum wattage to 900 and it scuppered the power behind Henry which was 1200 watts at the time . The hotel Henry hoovers were all pre 2017 and will last a lifetime if cared for. My dad has a Meile C2 and it’s incredible. Would take the pepper off your dinner it’s that thorough!

A Henry costs about £120-£140, it is mains powered, never dies, very powerful and uses bags. Almost all builders use it, and for a reason.

I bought the Henry and I regret it. It’s heavy, the casters don’t track very well, the floor and carpet nozzles are cheap and generic and the design is very clunky.

You're right that most appliances today don't last long. Just about every vacuum sold at a big box store will only last a couple years. I encourage you to visit your local vacuum stores, they will carry brands that last decades. Bagged vacuums offer better filtration and last longer because they put less stress on the motor. For all hardwood with a few rugs a canister vacuum would be ideal otherwise you would need the brushroll to turnoff on an upright vacuum. There are a number of canister vacuums from Henry, Miele, and Sebo that are BIFL and last 15-20 years. I recommend taking a look at the [Henry Allergy](https://www.qvc.com/numatic-henry-allergy-canister-vacuum-hepafiltration.product.H369076.html) $524 and the [Sebo K2 Turbo](https://classicvac.com/sebo-airbelt-k2-turbo-black-cherry/) $499. Both vacuums are extremely durable and long lasting. They're also powerful but quiet too. Henry is a commercial vacuum from Great Britain and Sebo makes commercial vacuums from Germany. The Henry Allergy has large hepa bags and a large hepa filter, his face is removable. Henry isn't sold in many stores so you'll probably need to buy online. The Sebo K2 comes with a 10-year motor warranty from approved dealers. There are more local vacuum stores that sell and service Sebo vacuums. The K2 has an optional Hepa service box to add a hepa filter over the standard S-Class filter. The Sebo K2 can come with a combo brush the K2 Kombi or the K2 Turbo comes with a standard hard floor brush and a turbo brush for rugs/minimal carpets. I like the Sebo a little more for your flooring because I prefer the motor speed suction control over the suction bleed valve on the Henry when cleaning rugs.

My Henry pet just arrived today. I’m currently making do with fooorboards in some rooms as the the carpets were awful when I moved in but want to wait and put decent flooring down. So I’ve got some gaps and troughs between the boards. Just run it in anger on my lunch break. Pulled out the dust between the boards fine. Don’t think my limited carpets have ever been as clean. Electric brush power head will obviously be better but the air brush did a good job. I got the xl, but Henrys have definitely got more compact of late. Even my xl was a lot smaller than I thought. The My Henry website has a few items on sale right now so you can get a lot of machine between £150 and £200. Deliver is free and mine turned up in less than 24 hours.

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.

You want HEPA 13. Most SEBO is HEPA 12 equivalent, but it's called something else. Henry Allergy is the absolute best for your needs.
