I am planning on buying a vacuum cleaner. Are there any European brands?

    Dyson and Numatic (who make the Henry vacuum cleaners) are both British.

      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.

        What’s funny is that when he first started moving production outside of the UK, he said it was because the pound was too strong and the UK wouldn’t join the Euro.
