The best cordless vacuum in 2019

[vacuumdevil]

As many of you know I have repaired and run vacuum Shops for years.
I really have never found a cordless consumer-grade vacuum I liked.
Well I'm pleased to announce after over a month of testing. I found what I think is the best cordless vacuum on the US market.
The Henry Cordless. It has the most power of any cordless vacuum of tested. It also has a long run time on "High " a full 24 to 30 minutes compared to the Dyson v11s 8 to 12 minutes. That's oval over double the runtime. Plus it comes with two batteries!
It also uses a high-flow HEPA bag which addresses the other issue that I have with most cordless vacuums filtration.
Also it's using standard inch and a quarter attachments so fitting attachment of your choosing is a possibility without an adapter.
I was able to run a carpet turbo tool with it as well which I was quite surprised.
I'll be making a few videos on this cordless Henry here's the first of many to come.

What is the price of the Henry Cordless?Is it less expensive or more expensive than the Dyson V11-looked at the Dyson at Best Buy and was NOT impressed at the price.The Henry Cordless is Win!-WIN! compared to the Dyson.Would like to get the Henry Cordless at some point.Would so love to try it with the Volt Powernozzle.An interesting cordless power team!

That was a great review. I’ll have to look into getting one.

I tried looking up to see if anyone sells the cordless Henry-so far no luck!!!!Who sells them???Seriously would like to get one of these machines to go with my Volt powernozzle and Simplicity Freedom cordless upright-also my cordless Areus one.

@tolivac
I was told the retail price was "$499" right now.
To quote them they're doing a "soft launch" right now with select in-store only retailers.I believe I have one of the first ones brought in the country definitely the first one that wasn't brought in for shows and Demo.
I'll send them an email and see what they say maybe I can get you one or put you in contact with somebody who can. I did try a friend's cordless volt with this and it's quite the combination!
Stay tuned, there is a Dyson V 11 vs Henry cordless Video still to come.

Glad you could try the Henry with the Volt PN.Looked on the dealer section on the link-no dealers for Henry/Nacecare near me.If you could find a dealer I could online or phone order from-that would be Great for me.The Henry sounds like a MUCH better vacuum than the Dyson!!!Longer runtimes-and BAGGED--no MESSY bagless system with the nasty filters.

Henry with the Volt power nozzle is absolutely a winner combination.
Dyson V10/11 vs Henry.
There is why the cordless Henry is better:
- versatility and convenience
- huge capacity
- no mess emptying
- two 36 Volt battery packs
- build quality
- standard size tools
- a lot of different tools fit to it
- quiet
- on-board tool storage
- more power than any cordless Dyson

It would be crazy to choose Dyson over the Henry.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@mike811 can you get the volt nozzle in Finland?



@tolivac I'll reach out to Nacecare for you and see what I can do .

 

[mike811]

I think that we don't have Volt pn in the whole Europe. However importing one is possible and 120v to 240v adapter for the charger doesn't cost much. Shipping would be expensive.

I love the cordless Aerus Lite! Finally! Good performance from a cordless upright!

 

[subieguy]

I absolutely love my Shark ion P50. The main reason I chose it over the Dyson V11 is because the battery is removable and replaceable. It's also a sealed HEPA system and has the duoclean soft rollers which work well on hardwoods.

let's compare

I think the main North American distributor for Numatic - including this fantastic new cordless Henry - is a company called Nacecare in Toronto, Canada. I think they are the sole distributors on this side of the Atlantic.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@eurekaprince That's what the links above would imply.

I’m thrilled at the idea of a practical, decent, cordless canister with a bag. It’s a great solution to cleaning a car that is always parked far from an electrical outlet. Mind you, some of the power tool companies have started selling cordless shop vacs that would be great car cleaners as well: Ryobi, etc. And these cordless shop vacs might be better for car interiors as they might handle wet debris better from cars in snowy locations.

Still - the idea of whipping around the house daily with a cordless bagged canister sounds great!

I do have concerns about the life of those batteries - as we’ve learned, those permanent Dyson batteries don’t last much longer than a few years.

DeWalt also makes cordless shop vacuums-these are small units that run from DeWalt power tool batteries.I wouldn't consider these to be home type or usual commercial vacuums.The DeWalt ones are made for workshop uses.

Life of batteries-I have some Greenworks lithium cordless mower batteries that are over 5yrs old-still running full power!So its possible with good care the batteries can last for many years.And on the Henry when they finally burn out--you can replace them!On the Dyson---You CAN'T you have to buy a whole vacuum!

 

[tolivac]

The video is very good-Will get the Henry when I can "nozzles" down over the Dyson.And I can use the Henry with my existing Volt powernozzle.I like the idea of the 1.25" tools with the Henry-means you can use other tools with it.So--when I can will place an order thru Nacecare when they list the Henry Cordless.Last time I looked it wasn't listed.Would have been interesting to put the Volt powernozzle in your tests when you had it.To further seal the deal the Henry has removable-replaceable batteries.When they finally burn out easy to get a new pair.The Dyson--you have to send it in or buy another one.Dyson should upgrade to removable batteries.The "SQUAWK" of that bare floor tool on that beautiful floor kinda scared me!Hope it didn't scratch!

 

[vacuumdevil]

@tolivac You're definitely right with the right batteries that can last quite some time. I have a Bosch screwdriver with lithium-ion batteries that still runs full power from 2010. What you're saying about the ease of changing the batteries is one of the biggest things with any cordless vacuums so many of them you need tools to change them or simply can't be changed. A lot of times with new machines that *SQUAWK" sound is the plastic wearing in on the axle of the wheels. Quite a few machines do it out of the box and can be remediated with a drop of oil. No wood floors were harmed in the making of this video.
