"I like the bag. Our bagless vacuums always made a MESS cloud of dust when trying to empty them in the kitchen. I'd have to go outside, and it would still make a cloud all over me. This was easy, close the lid on the bag, lift it out, toss it in the trash, put a new one in. It holds more than I'd typically think, because unlike our bagless, the dirt all gets packed into the bag, it gets more dense. So it holds more than you would expect."
"We've neglected the hell out of it. It has 1555 hours on it with minimal maintenance. Ran it every night for 4 years or so. So I always thought these things were tanks. It still works"
"All the parts that will have tangled hair (like rollers, empty bin, rotating brushes, and wheels) are extremely easy to remove and clean, almost with no tools needed. I literally take only ten minutes to remove every dog hair inside the system."

"Also the bags henry uses are massive. ... I’d be shocked if you used more than 2 a year."

"long hair will still tangle around the ends of them and eventually stop them from spinning. ... This happens every third run if i don't clear them after the second run."
"If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged."
"long hairs clock up and stop the rollers every second run"

"And it was a disaster on our cotton area rug, even on the lowest setting. I ended up with a ton of lint and a roughed-up rug!"
"My only real gripe with mine is that it’s not a very powerful vacuum at default settings. ... The 10R seems to struggle with picking up heavier, aerodynamic debris like rice grains or seeds, on its default settings."
"vacuuming and hair tangling is very poor."

"3 months of constant use and the screen blackout on me. ... others have similar complaints of durration so i'd say no ... was playing rivals then suddenly the monitor turned off. after unplugging it waiting a while i was able to power it but the display won't show nor light up but the sound is working. ... looking into this there have been numerous complaints about the longevity of the device. ... FUCK NO, GO OLED! just not this one"
"I wouldn't count on JBL for longevity personally. ... Stinks to have to replace that that soon tho 2 years is a joke. ... longevity in home theater systems isn't my first place I'd give them points."
"battery died just months after warranty expired."

"I'll be damned if I'm going to drag that thing up and down three floors regularly."
"I’ve tried my families Miele canister when I lived with them and never got the hang of it. ... How do you manage the canister? We have a small space and based on my experience it seems like I would trip over it. Even when I tried it in a bigger place I still carried the canister around which was super annoying just to not trip on it ... The space is small enough that it has dead ends without enough space to turn around by pulling the canister. Is there a way that same concept can still be applied? We’re talking bedsides with only 1.5’ space, 4’ hallway with a litter box at the end, 5’ kitchen width with dead end."
"cascadia's never felt broken in to me, they remained really stiff"
_gently_left_behind_ 0.6I’ve have a “Hetty Quick” for two years and use it every day (cats) and I like it a lot
14makeit 0.5I 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.
Appropriate_Mess4583 0.5+1 for Henry quick
Appropriate_Month111 0.5henry 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.
Benito_Caruana 0.5Easy to clean and cheap, see if you can get a Henry Quick. Henry is a very old and well trusted vacuum cleaning brand in the UK used in commercial environments and at home. They’re cheap and reliable, they’re known for these big tubs on wheels that have a HEPPA filter bag that collects the dust and you replace, no filters or anything, and they’ve just released a new stick vacuum called Henry Quick, which again has a small bag that’s the filter too, so no filter washing and loss of suction. You can most likely get one shipped from the UK, and I imagine the bags can be found on Amazon anyways.
blackout1912 0.5There’s a large amount of extremely biased people here sadly. Obviously Dyson isn’t nowhere near the best vacuum in the world, but it also isn’t the worst as it’s made out to be here. If you can get it on sale at a good price I’d deffo go for it. Tried many makes and honestly when it comes to cordless I think Dysons the best. Yet again people here will tell you there the worst cause they’ve read stories from people complaining when most of the time problems are caused by users not machine.. or that they fix loads of them, with majority probably trashed by customers.. Henry quick is supposed to be good but I find it extremely heavy and bulky, definitely not a great handheld vacuum
cloudmountainio 0.5Henry 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.
ConBroMitch2247 0.5As 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.
Yep ^ adding a Henry 160 too. And all 3 manufacturers have an additional turbo hand attachment great for upholstery.
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.
I’d get a Henry to be honest.
CourageHistorical100 0.5Top 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.
EpicFail35 0.5Yeah, 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.
