General consensus online is the Henry is far better than the Dyson. Better battery time, quieter and plenty of suck for a cordless. Hmm.

Just remembered the Dyson emptying it was s**t too. Yeah ok it didn't need bags but generally the dust went everywhere trying to empty it into the bin. Bags as per Henry much cleaner.
Personally for a car the stick type like Dyson etc aren't as good....find them a bit bulky in footwell etc.
A hose type like Henry loads easier

Henry corded version of cordless?
I see they make a attachment for the cordless Henry which has a hose too. The battery life on the Henry is supposed to be far superior than the Dyson.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Not a handheld but I thought it worth a mention , I’ve been using a twin motored numatic for years as garage hoover doing all cars and vans but it got damaged in house move and I couldn’t get replacement parts so reluctantly had to throw it out. I needed a hoover for new build and in haste bought a 70 ish quid Titan hoover from screw fix . The feckin thing is awesome! Now the house is built it is the new garage hoover and it sucks like feck . Even the Dyson loving Mrs P was impressed with it .
this one Vin?

this is the hand held i bought from Aldi probably 18 months ago .. brilliant little thing .. good battery life and a hell of a suck on it ... we never use the stick/wand ... just use the head ... easy empty and good filters which're easy to remove and clean (with the air line :giggle:)
was 70 quid when I bought it ... been excellent (y)

Bought a little makita one a while back, thought it would be handy to keep the cabs tidyish but to be fair it’s pretty gutless,works better as a little blower.

Mate of mine has just bought something like this for tidying up as he goes while fitting out his extension, he says it's great and he's not easily pleased 😆 good idea for clearing up after drilling holes for rawl plugs etc, seemed pretty rammed with dust when he showed me 👍

Cordless Dyson here, no complains, can do the whole house on one charge. Use the very old upright corded Dyson ball for the cars.. altho think that will get replaced by something industrial spec oneday.. as it often falls over when pulling on the hose 🤦‍♂️

Im close to pulling the trigger on one of these.

Its a lot of money for a hoover but you really need at least 1200w of suction to hover from saws. I have been using two henrys 2x600w in the shed for woodworking and dust still escapes whilst cutting.
I cut a hole in a concrete floor the other day in a garage at least 600mmx600mm, using a 9 inch grinder with a dust shield and there was virtually no dust with 2 henrys on the job.
Obviously two henrys are impracticable hence the above.

Mate of mine is a joiner and he loves his ….
I use a metabo vaccum on the chaser, and just a Henry on the cordless chopsaw/rail saw.
Most of my panel cutting is usually outside under a gazebo so the mini cordless leaf blower sends it all off away somewhere 🫣

You'll not regret it .
That's obviously Mclass...don't bother runless you have to for site.
Plus it's AC ....if you only doing wood you don't need either.

Thats not M class. I think for mdf, hard wood and stone dust it should be m class now ?
I like the idea of auto clean as i have popped bags on henrys before when hovering filler and stonedust.
