C3 complete series is just the best around. But now that's gone away and I don't know which of the Guard series replaces it.

Boost CX1 is mediocre but good for a bag-less.

I have a pretty new Bosch that runs on the grid, love it. It's extremely silent unless I turn it up to the max, in which case it's crazy powerful.

The recommendation I needed, thank you!

Miele is great.

As someone from the UK, please avoid Dyson.

He supported Brexit saying that he'd invest in more UK manufacturing then as soon as it happened, moved even more manufacturing overseas.

On top of that he's a massive cunt to his workers and the quality of Dysons have gone downhill so much they break as soon as they're out of warranty.

Numatic international (Henry) on the other hand are top quality, built to last, keep manufacturing in Europe and the UK, and aren't lead by a dickhead.

Seriously, you'll move house a dozen times before a Henry hoover gives out on you, every single professional cleaner in the UK uses a Henry or other Numatic International model (if they're not using an industrial cleaning brand) because they're built more robust than a bastard child of a Panasonic Toughbook and a Nokia 3310.

Philips consumer electronics¹ (as a brand only) was acquired by Chinese venture capitalist² firm.

EDITS:

¹ actually Philips Domestic Appliances (but the consumer electronics division was also sold to a Chinese company)

² private equity

Boycott Dyson. Its ceo supported Brexit, he is a total dint.
