Went for the 1400w Screwfix Titan as I was so impressed with their pressure washer. Does not disappoint. Serious suction, especially for £65 and does wet and dry
Says on the website you can use it with or without a bag. I've use the one that came with it, but is there any really need if you don't mind washing them from time to time. Used a Dyson so many years that bags are an oddity.

I’m currently rolling with a 24V Morphy Richards 2-in-1 Supervac which is fine for daily dust, fluff, crumbs and hair in a carpet free home (bar a couple of rugs). The lights are really good on the front for showing up dust that would go unnoticed otherwise. It has a rotating brush at the front which is great on a wooden floor. And the main vacuum detaches as a handheld for getting up high.
The dust chamber does need emptying more regularly and the filter cleaning and hair needs to be stripped away from the brush regularly at the front but I weirdly enjoy cleaning it all out and keeping it well maintained.
For any serious action there is also the Henry with the turbo boost in reserve which comes out occasionally and also after I’ve given the hallway rug a shampoo clean.

Must make it difficult to use.The Ex has a wall mounted cordless Dyson which seems to suck!
It is great for cleaning the car though what with no cables etc ..

It is actually quite neat, though the quality of the tubes and joints seems a bit weak.Must make it difficult to use.

Your motor almost certainly needs a complete stripdown and rebuild. That bag's there for a reason.I used my Henry without a bag for years after a cleaner friend said they didn't need one, but after that its suction isn't what it used to be so perhaps I shouldn't have.

The one gripe I have with Henrys is that they are SO top heavy and are prone to falling over and needing to be put back upright again. They can take a thrashing around better than the best of them but my God they're unsteady on their feet. Mieles are at least better designed that way.

Jesus the Screwfix ones is a beast. They obviously saved on all the accessories as they feel cheap, but dear god that motor. It says in the manual to use protection.

Not quite a hoover, but as my new place has mostly hard floor I've ordered a combined electric mop and vacuum with a nice discount

We have a steam cleaner which is very good, and a cordless vacuum cleaner. Both work well but having the two in one really appeals for its convenience.

Well I've not had a chance to use it yet, but looks great, the hard floors should be easier to deal with all the animal fur!

We might be getting one for the gym but since the karcher steam mop died after a few months I'm
about anything that's not built for proper heavy duty commercial use

Our Shark has the same dust lights, it really is an eye opener how much dust can be on the floor.

I know. I actually take to turning off the room lights these days so I can see exactly what the onboard lights expose on the floor!

I think this is the most up to date thread of sucking dirt.
FYI, Shark have a couple of deals- save £250 or £280 off these two models
Eta...oh, it’s just the one model but in two colours.

We recently bought a Vax “Airlift” upright vac for £120. It’s suction is fearsome to the point where it threatens to lift up the floorboards. Brilliant for pet hair - never had one as good.

Looking to get a cordless vacuum. Moved into a new place last year and our old Henry just doesn’t fit in anywhere. He’s trusty and does the job, but we don’t use him enough to justify the space he takes up. He’s also cumbersome and always seems to get stuck behind corners (probably my fault, but I like to blame him).
Any good recommendations? We’ve not got loads of space so thinking cordless, though I’d rather not buy a brand new litium battery just to save a bit of space. Was thinking about going second hand, but do cordless hoovers last? Are they worth going for second hand?

I'd not buy something like that second hand as you'll be getting a second hand battery. No helpful suggestions though, but watching as I'd also like one at some point.

Does anyone have one of those robot vacuum cleaners ?

We do. Just got a basic one so it does struggle with corners and table/chair legs, but it’s pretty good for keeping things crumb and mess free once a week.
We do have a Vax cordless as well for doing hard to reach spots, stairs, more soiled areas, so we get that out once a month in addition to the weekly Roomba.

Ta, that's useful. When you say basic one what model/make is it?

Yeah that's what I was assuming. Currently looking at for either a Vax, Henry or Shark cordless.
I’ve got a cordless Dyson which is great for small tasks but you wouldn’t want to do an entire household with it.
