      That's a silly comment. I recommend you watch the video properly. The evidence leading to the conclusions shown was clearly demonstrated. I don't believe your very vague comments about a bit of dust causing a Dyson cordless blockage because it completely contradicts some very simple observations of the opposite being true. If you can provide clear, objective evidence of how to reproduce this, your respectability might be returned. The evidence is completely clear, e.g. in the V15 review: the latest Dyson cordless can outperform the best mains cleaners on the market. th-cam.com/video/noCLwXCVDsk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ZmzG8XOQAeQ/w-d-xo.html

    I think Henry's are quite decent for their simplicity and what they are, if you're on a budget they'd make an alright vacuum
    When I remove bags I have to be cautious not to get the bucket dusty so I tilt it so the face is facing upwards and then slowly remove it, kinda a design flaw cos then the filter gets dirty but I still like these for what they are, British made, robust, simple, cheap parts which are easily found etc

    I tried the shark stratos recently and I’m shocked at the cleanerhead design - the actual bristles are basically as soft as actual carpet fibres, and relies more on the rubber wipers to do most of the work so I’m not really happy with its performance, along with the duo clean design leaking airflow out the front. Not to mention there’s already suction leaking out the hose vents on both carpet modes!! Such an odd machine

    • @VacuumFacts
      @VacuumFacts  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm no defender of Shark's inferior technology, but the idea you criticise it because the cyclone clogged whilst failing to realise that the situation you subjected it to was so absurdly unrepresentative of the real-world use it was designed for, is completely unrespectable. It's cyclonic technology is crap, but not for the overloading situation you showed. The only value in the 'big mess' test you did was that it served as an accelerated use case, showing how their reliance on filters due to poor cyclones results in their clogging faster and need for more frequent rinsing. It's a junk piece of tech for many reasons not touched on. I won't be reviewing it though because, technologically, it's all but identical to the model I've already reviewed.

    • @VacuumFacts
      @VacuumFacts  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I am the ONLY person on YT who bothered to quantify it properly instead of essentially relying on an assumption or broken, flawed testing that reveals a lack of credibility and respectability. Shame on the entirety of the rabid vacuum enthusiast 'community', really. But then there's all the other flaws with the Henry glossed over, like how badly the turbo head is designed, how difficult to manoeuvre it is, how it gets stuck randomly on the floor, how noisy it is. Then there's the bag issues. For £40 more, you can get a Light Ball, which is better in every single way. It's a no brainer.
      The real highlight no one seems to have picked up on (which I'm not sure is surprising or unexpected) is that I have also explicitly shown in this video that modern bags do not lose suction. I could not get performance to decrease, even when dust-loaded. But still, this is no bragging right, because bags have a shameful and disgusting, wholly avoidable impact on the environment, and there are far better ways, as the Light Ball has shown.
      It's interesting though, I'm sure all the rabid vacuum enthusiasts who scoff at my work, claim it's 'fake', or try to dismiss and rubbish it by scraping the barrel with nonsense, will suddenly decide they can make an exception in this case because I've shown something that happens, this time, to agree with their opinions. They'll cherrypick the bits they want to accept, ignoring that I've gone about determining the factual accuracy of everything I produce in *exactly* the same way. Hypocrites. Look out for it. When it comes to explicitly *showing* the Turbo heads work better than straight suction and bags don't clog, they'll suddenly have no complaints. The double-standard of their silence will be the evidence of how poor their behaviour is and why they should not be respected, and why anyone who respects or tolerates their behaviour should also not be respected.

Modern (good) bags are not reasonably cloggable is my conclusion now. Or more, specifically, cleaning performance doesn't drop when heavily dust-loaded. But they're still shit and cyclonic technology is far superior because it's costless and impactless when scaled up across a nation.

    You talk about "environmental impact" a lot while advocating for what amount to disposable appliances, which is what Dysons and almost every other kind are nowadays. It's beyond ironic. The Numatics are indeed simple, but they will quite literally last a lifetime in a domestic environment and often a decade or two being hammered relentlessly in commercial ones. Over the years I've seldom, if ever, seen an advert for a Numatic product (unlike the afore-mentioned polystyrene and ABS junk - "as seen on teevee!"), which should tell you something.

      You missed the point entirely. In addition to the impact a product has by simply existing (applies to everything), the Henry has an additional and significant impact from disposable bags. This is wholly avoidable with better design. For normal users wanting a machine to clean their homes under normal living conditions, there's simply no excuse for the Numatic products; there is better technology out there we know works without the impact.

    You can get reusable bags for Henry so the environmental impact is the same of the mess is the same as bagless. I have a shark pet and vax one power pet 4. The shark is rubbish… I had to buy 2 filters and constantly wash one and replace to get the best suction. The vax is okay and picks up everything the shark doesn’t. But the battery is horrendous and can’t cope with small areas of cleaning and a right pain. So I’ve went bought a Hetty xtra with reusable bags. The shark is ruined after a couple of years use, the vax costs me in electricity constantly charging the battery.

      How did you conclude the environmental impact was the same? It's not. It still takes additional unnecessary resources to manfacture those bags. They don't come as standard. They cost the user extra to buy. In fact, are you sure they're official and not some third party product, essentially revealing Numatic have a problem these other third party manufacturers have a 'solution' to? How do you know they perform the same? If they do, then you're implicitly suggesting Numatic have been scamming their customers all along by peddling a disposable approach at great cost to them and the environment when there's a better approach. And have you considered how easy it is to maintain these reusable bags? The hassle of cleaning them, the cost of washing them, the dust that gets everywhere as shown in the video when you take it off? How long do they last before they have to be replaced? Are people going to throw them away anyway when they smell? No matter how you look at it, it's bad. And then there's literally everything else poor about the machine in the review.

In fairness, the data showed the Henry perform as well as any good mains cleaner with its turbo head, even though it kept getting stuck on carpet and was terribly designed for all the reasons pointed out in the video.

      @@Boodieman72 Fans would strongly disagree with you. They are actually vacuum cleaners and are designed to do the same job as any cleaner. With the right head, they do it as well as any decent mains cleaner. But there are major practicality and environmental impact issues that are associated with this formfactor and product, as exposed in the video. Those are its biggest weaknesses.

      Why?
      I’ve seen no evidence reusable bags can be emptied mess-free (feel free to provide some for review). Bagged supporters argue bagless is messy, which it is for the knockoff clones, but not true for Dyson, as evidenced on my channel. I’ve also not seen evidence they don’t lose suction either or don’t suffer from festering smells. The washable idea is interesting. Which do you use and how long do they last? I'd also like ot learn how effective they are at capturing microscopic dust. I agree that new Dyson vacuums are extremely expensive but the best upright discussed in the video is similarly priced to a Henry without the usability drawbacks.

      First It will tell us how good is the vacuum is sealed and how good is the HEPA filter the particle counter will have a base start (preferred to have an air filter)for the dust that is already in the air then a pile of fine particles (eg.flour) is vacuumed the particle counter will see how bad does the air get while well tell us how good is the filtering and containing particles in it yes theirs data where it is already tested but why not do it to help you show on you own how good the Dyson is better not only for the environment but also for the air quality and why it is better to pay a bit more to get a better vacuum

      You don't seem to understand the burden of proof. You need to show the evidence that "a Numatic will last a lifetime"-presumably excluding all the disposable, costly ancillaries-and then explain why so many are dumped and why there's evidence that they don't out there on YT. As for "Vacuum bags make up only a minor fraction of the total waste created by people", your claim misses the point entirely. Vacuum bags scale across the globe to make a substantial avoidable waste. And then there's their cumulative carbon footprint in manufacture and distribution. All avoidable, as discussed in the video you don't appear to have watched. You're not being clever here; you just look foolish now.
