Best reasonably priced vacuum cleaner

[SameToo]

Vacuum has given up on me and currently between jobs so not a lot of cash floating around to replace it.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, powerful vacuum. Preferably smaller.

TIA

Depends whether you want hand held or plug in.

Hetty - smaller version of Henry.

Very powerful.
No fancy features - very simple to use.
Solid - I've had mine for many years.

A real workhorse.

@Bluevelvetsofa don’t mind but would prefer plug in.

@FlowerArranger thank you! I was thinking I wanted a Henry but was put off by the size so Henrietta is a shout. Are they bagless?

Can’t beat a hetty

miles better than my previous dyson

Vax, super powerful

We have a Hetty, but it annoys me because I’m always barking my shins on it. DH uses it, but I use a cordless Beko.

Miele complete c2, I love it and I was a dyson lady.

Hetty and Henry fall down stairs, Miele stands upright, nice and narrow. Something to consolidate you're not in a bungalow.

Hetty and Henry are not bagless, but the bag is HUGE.
I think I change it less than once a year.

Yup, but it smells really musty by the time it's emptied.

I dint think hetty is smaller than Henry, she's just prettier.

I love my Hetty! Although I wish she was better at corners....

Very happy with my Shark after multiple Dysons. They usually have a model that’s on offer, around £199

Cordless shark for wooden floor dog hair and quick carpet freshen

Henry range for deep clean and carpet

Definitely a Henry. They last for years, don't lose suction and they're solid.

Sebo Felix. Great vacuum and comes in lots of designs if you like that kind of thing (I do)

We have Henry love him although he is a drama llama!! Can't stand shark not a dyson fan.

Just replaced our ancient Henry (who broken when he fell out of the loft) with another Henry. Absolutely fabulous, wouldn't have anything else. £99.

Im torn! I was leaning towards Henry, then hetty, but requiring a bag is not ideal. I much prefer bagless.

I like the Aeg one I bought from John Lewis recently

No bag
