Numatic International - Henry Quick (HVB160)

I actually now have a paired Henry and Henry quick for this reason. Henry is the deep clean, the quick is the stairs and last nights poppadom crumbs

Nah, Henry for the proper clean and a cheeky Henry quick for stairs and little jobs

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.

+1 for Henry quick

Henry quick. Should go below £150 around Black Friday. Had mine a year or so. Love it. Charges quickly and picks up my dogs fur fine. Battery lasts for ages. I like the little pods as well, easy to empty and keeps the pet smell contained.

As long as the carpets you get are low pile: Miele, Sebo or Henry are great options. Which model depends on where in Europe you are. these 3 brands are corded and bagged. Which is the gold standard for vacuums cordless/bagless (Henry Quick) is good to keep around for quick daily kid messes, but a good corded/bagged vacuum is essential for weekly deep cleans.

What pile are the area rugs and how big? A turbo team is never a bad idea with rugs. But the pure suction is on a great sale right now. You can always add the turbo head later if you want better cleaning performance on rugs. A Sebo k2 kombi or k2 turbo is also worth looking at. Same with a Henry 160 or xtra

For all hard floors and hair, you want a vacuum without a brushroll. Check out the Miele C1 pure suction, Sebo K2 kombi or Henry 160. And if you find it’s not working well on your carpet/rug you can always add the turbo head.

Nice work! But imo the Logic is somewhat flawed. It entirely depends on the user’s flooring. I think that needs to be an important quantifier here. Ex: No doubt Henry is great. But it’s for hard floors and maybe 1 small low pile area rug, absolutely not carpeted rooms. It has an air driven brushroll which pales in comparison on carpet to something with an electorally powered floor head. Like the Miele c3 cat and dog, Sebo Felix, k3 and D4 etc. Dyson and shark shouldn’t even be on this list. They are absolute junk. Run this list by r/vacuumcleaners Edit: Hey! I see I was part of the data collection. Neat.

Miele, Sebo, Henry, Lindhaus. Shark and Dyson are garbage. Check out r/vacuumcleaners

I’d get a Henry to be honest.

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 (commercial one if possible)

Yeah, I’m not sure why it cost so much more in the USA. I bought mine on Blackfriday and at least got it 30% off.

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.

This is a generic fake brand drop shipped cleaner. It's performance will be mediocre, after sales and parts support nonexistent, and it won't last very long. Frankly 99% of these randomly branded things are the same. Go for a Henry quick, dyson v8, heck even a hoover or a shark over one of these.

There are several different ways you could go with this. What would you consider a "long" hose? Smaller carry-able canister type vacs like an oreck shoulder vac could work. Though they aren't hepa, and personally not a big fan of them. Small bags, small motors, bit noisy etc. Slightly bigger machines like a Miele C1 would be great, they are pretty lite but more capable. Hose might not be long enough for leaving the canister on the floor and climbing a ladder to reach high up for example. But for filtration and suction, great choice. Similar in size and characteristics would be a Sebo K or E series machine. A Numatic Henry is a personal favorite of mine for whole house dusting. The hoses are a bit longer than average, the tools are good, and the extention tubes themselves have a nice trick. Unlike most canisters where the curved extension part is the hand grip, and then you place the tools at the end of the straight tube section, with Numatic vacuums you can reverse that. You can put the curved end of the extension at the end with a tool attached while the straight section is what you grasp while cleaning. This gives you the perfect angle for ceiling fans or the tops of moldings and picture frames. Downside with a numatic is the weight and possibly bulk, they aren't very small or lite and might be a struggle to carry around. There are several options as you can see. Depends what you want to prioritize most I think. And side note, I think an extension hose can be bought separately and attached to any of these machines for extra reach if the default length isn't sufficient. Sebo themselves sell an extension hose. Numatic might as well, otherwise I know aftermarket extra long hoses are avaliable for Numatic machines. Miele you'd have to get a little more creative since they don't really sell one themselves, and they use a larger than average diameter. You can get a 35 to 32mm adapter and then attach a genetic extension hose to the miele hose. Only annoying thing is then the miele tools wouldn't fit at the end of the extension hose, so you'd almost need a duplicate attachment set.

I love mine for a quick hoover. I get my Hetty corded one out for a thorough clean. But the Henry Quick is really good for a general clean. I think I can do my whole house on one charge. But I don't usually do that much at a time.

Do you mean the quick? I have had a Hetty for 10+years and it's still going strong. I also have a Henry Quick for small jobs. It is just as good. I can do a quick clean of the whole house on a charge if I wanted to. I still use Hetty for thorough cleans though, but having inherited a Dyson which wasn't great the Henry one is really good.
