Help! I need a hoover for c. £200

[Hoover2025]

Everything is so expensive! Or the brands I recognise anyway.

Please any recommendations for a good all rounder hoover for a decent price.

Thankyou

Dyson's are shite. My idiotic sister decided that my dad needed one because his Henry wasn't glamorous enough. DF hated it, so I gave it to DD2. She reports it is useless.

Henrys are amazing. Had mine for 33 years and he's still going strong. DF's is even older.

Ive had a Henry, cordless shark and a dyson hoover before, but none of them compare to the cheap Russell Hobbs hoover I bought from Asda, think it was about £60!

We've got a rowenta which is good and very quiet, for under 200.

My eufy robovac was also about 200 and it's great. Doesn't have the self emptying bit though, those are a fair bit more.

I've got normal Henry (which I love even though he's a enormous, overly dramatic twat) and the stick Henry Numatic Professional cordless which is also good for a quick whizz round.

We also have a shark which is useless, and have had a million dysons which I've hated (after the very first one that came out way back when, which I loved. Don't know what happened to them).

Get a Henry

So was mine apparently!

Miele C1 is well within your budget. I've had mine for two years & absolutely love it. Still as efficient as the day it first got unboxed.

I've just replaced my shark with a £55 wet and dry from Screwfix (like a Henry but more powerful motor). It's amazing!

I’ve never understood the Henry love. The ones I’ve used are useless and fall over as soon as you look at them.

We have a Miele but it prob isn’t under 200 quid any more.

Here you go, OP ... I've got it myself and IME you can't go wrong with a Miele:

Miele if you can stretch to one. They are absolutely fantastic vacuums and you can also get them serviced. I have had a Cat & Dog version for 15 years. It's seen me through 3 kids, two cats, three kids and two husbands 😁Also have an anti hair wrap cordless Shark. Good with hair but top heavy and has just snapped in the middle (circa 2 yrs old) 😡
He try lasted 10 yrs + - amazing for DIY and rubble collection, but became a bit cumbersome for my bad back. Also not great without an anti hair wrap roller bit I'm going back a few years. May have one like that now.
Cordless Dyson always been crap.
I'm about to take the plunge again with a Miele cordless. £200 ish bit for me with dogs and a bad back, it's a brand I know is excellent and I'm happy to pay a bit more for that's

We just swapped our Henry for this cordless Shark – currently £200 in the Argos sale. It's fantastic. Picks up all our dog's hair, gets right into every corner and is really lightweight.

I recently bought a Shark after having my Dyson for around 12 years. I was absolutely blown away by how much dirt it picked up, even after already going over the floors with my Dyson. I got the Shark lift away anti-hair wrap (corded) and it was around £150 in the sale a few weeks ago. It's so much smaller than the Dyson but much more powerful.

Lol mine is an old Dyson I got on local freecycle group. Been running well for at least 5 years now. Seriously wouldn't consider wasting £200 on a hoover

I hate Henry, annoying thing.

Love my Shark

Henry around £150

Right I have bought this! For £100 I feel that’s a bargain. The moment I looked I was sold on the detachable stair feature!

Fingers crossed it’s as good as yours and I don’t get a dud!

Thanks all 😊

Yeah mine started well. Been shit since it was about 6 months old.

I hope it works for you too!

The best cleaner I've used is my Hetty. I've tried quite a few over the last 30 years and she never lets me down.

Yes, I've got one of those and it's pretty good. Though the bag full indicator did pack up after a few months.

Another vote for shark

I bought a pink Hetty hoover for my new house and it’s amazing. The best hoover I’ve ever had 😂

I rejected Shark because they make their products hard to repair - see the youtube video - Why Can't You Repair Your Shark Vacuum?

I recently bought a Hoover corded upright. I don't like cordless because it's more to go wrong and the batteries eventually wear out.
