If you are going to buy a new vacuum get an old reconditioned Henry from ebay.
- Henry because they eat everything. Even if its primary use is cleaning the clean area, it’s good to know that it can cope with everything and won’t mind a nail or two. I use one on building sites. They really suck.
- Old one because the old ones are 1200w but the new ones are only 620w. Same goes for any vacuum you buy since a law in 2014/15 limiting the power of vacuums. It’s meant to mean you use less power but you just spend more time. New ones really suck.
