Help me choose a corded vacuum please!

[coffeeforone]

Currently have an upright hoover which is on its last legs, looking at the upright Dyson's but I'm confused about which one - animal ball/small ball/light ball...so many to choose from, then there are other brands too!

What vacuum do you have? Would you recommend it? If you were to buy a Vacuum tomorrow what would you buy?

I'm not keen on the idea of cordless stick ones as I'm sure they would be great at first but not convinced the charge/battery would last over the years as long as the corded ones!

Following cos need a new one myself.

Henry. Every time.

I’ve just bought a shark one from curry’s on sale for £199. It has lift away so you can do the stairs. Pretty good so far (I’ve only just got it)!

Henry. He's the best one I've had

Shark Liftaway is the best one I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few different types including Dyson and Henry. I love my Shark as it’s so versatile!

Thanks! I've just been looking at Henry! Hadn't considered it before, but am I right that it uses disposable bags?

I think I'd rather stick with a bagless option, mainly as I can't imagine the bags being great for the environment ( happy to be corrected here if they are recyclable ? )

Looking at Shark too, thanks!

Shark corded one. Recommended by my cleaner who cleans in mostly fancy houses with fancy stuff. Under £200 and I paid for it in instalments on amazon so I never even had to go to a shop!

Henry is great but from my experience gets smelly. I have a Dyson ball and it's heavy, good suction and long cord but tricky doing the stairs. I have a few friends with the shark lift away and they love it. That will be our next vacuum. Not sure that helps much! ☺️

I hate my Henry, it gets tangled in the cord and falls over at the drop of a hat. Good at sucking up wet spills though, but how often do you have to do that?

Shark - it's amazing

Used to have a Henry and it was labour intensive and not versatile and awkward to manoeuvre.
Then had a cordless vax which just didn't have great suction.
Now got the Shark lift away and it's so versatile- dead easy to use for lamp shades, skirting boards, cobwebs, soft furnishings as was as brilliant for carpets and hard flooring (even glitter from a tiled floor!!), plus it has anti hair wrap thing which is really helpful as me & my dd have long hair so doesn't get tangled around the brush.
I have asked friends who are cleaners and friends who are just really clean at home and all recommended Shark and I haven't been disappointed at all.

Another vote for the shark lift away. So versatile and so powerful

To back the shark up, one of my friends got hers from Argos ( I'm not a fan of Argos but that's my issue) cheaper than direct and she has has no problems much to my dismay as I abjected and was ignored to be proven right (unfortunately)

Thanks for all the replies, I think I'm going to go with the Shark Lift Away!! Not sure why I was so fixated on Dyson. I do wonder why John Lewis don't stock it though (I had vouchers I wanted to use!)

I hated the Henry. And got a shark that was rubbish: kept having to get new bits sent and it couldn’t cope with dog hair.

I then got a Miele one in instalments from Amazon and it’s brilliant. Highly recommended

I'd recommend a Moosoo, I've been using it forever, it's super reliable

Shark is ace! Got one with the liftaway. I can't believe how much dust the bloody useless Henry had left in the carpets.

Henry.

Look at any commercial cleaner's cupboard - hotels, hospitals and the like and there's a Henry in there. For a very good reason.
