Numatic Henry Xtra HVX200-22

i have a fractured spine & a Hetty Hoover & a 3xBedroom house to drag it around. i need a cheep, light, powerful upright, new or old but cheep! someone help me get one, i need to know about a good One?

I have just sent my son out to purchae the Henry Extra HVR200-22 as a replacement for my Morphy Richards. I was just about to purchase one of the Miele models but was put off by the lack of after-service so many people complained of from the company. Although I had read all the reviews about the various Henry vacuum cleaners I was sceptical about purchasing purely based on the price. i wrongly assumed because it was at the cheaper end of the market it must be an inferior product -how wrong can I be. I had noticed our cleaners at work using the Henry models but again assumed because they were on a tight budget the company would only allow limited funds for puchase of vacuum cleaners.

I have just vacuumed my hall, stairs, landing, bathroom, lounge and dining room in 10 minutes whereas previously this would normally take almost an hour, most of which time was spent repetitively vacuuming the same spot to lift cat hairs or flecks of fluff and also switching the plug from one socket to another due to limited cord length. One sweep with my new Henry and the dirt was gone - where on earth does all that strong suction come from. Again I made the mistake of thinking because it was a 1200 watt power it must be inferior to a cleaner that yields 2200 watts. This really is a lion in lamb's clothing - definitely the Porsche amongst vacuum cleaners.
