It’s basically impossible to find a good vacuum cleaner under £100 – but I’ve just spotted this top-rated Henry at the lowest price it’s ever been
And it's a stick model, too!
As Ideal Home’s Certified Expert in Vacuums, my primary job is to test the many (many) vacuum cleaners on the market. But I also spend a huge part of my day looking for the best vacuum cleaner deals - like the Henry Quick Corded Vacuum Cleaner, which is just £99.99 at Argos right now.
Of course, the best Henry vacuum cleaners are generally the most affordable vacuum cleaners out there anyway, but the fact that you can buy any vacuum cleaner for under £100 still astounds me - especially when my other top-rated models will typically set you back anywhere from £250 to £800.
But the good news is that I’ve tested the Henry Quick Corded Vacuum Cleaner already, and can vouch for its effectiveness. And while I would have nothing against anyone paying the regular RRP of £159.99 for this model, the £60 discount Argos is offering right now is just the cherry on top of a very delicious cake.
In fact, I gave the Henry Quick Corded a very respectable 4-star review when I tested it at home and praised it for its extremely long 10m cord, which meant I could almost vacuum the entire downstairs without having to unplug and plug back in.
The fact that it’s corded also means that you can make the most of unlimited run-time and a power boost that you don’t often get with the best cordless vacuum cleaners.
And unlike the traditional Henry cylinder vacuum, this one offers a practical stick design that’s perfect for grab-and-go cleaning - and storing a vacuum cleaner if you’re looking for a vacuum for smaller spaces.
It still has the classic Henry dust pod, though, which means that you can empty it without getting a plume of dust in your face. Plus, Henry claims that the 1L self-sealing dust pod can hold up to a month’s worth of debris before it needs to be replaced - something I can confirm was the case during testing.
Of course, the elephant in the room is that this model is corded - which is a slightly divisive topic within the vacuum cleaner industry. And while some may see that as a negative, I predict that corded vacuums will be just as popular as cordless vacuum cleaners by the end of 2026 - so I see that as a positive.
That's because corded models offer more consistent power, which is something I appreciate in a home with pets - and if you want to make the most of the handy crevice tool and 2-in-1 combi tool without losing suction.
However, I won’t say that it’s the perfect vacuum cleaner. During testing, the floorhead struggled with larger debris, and the location of the wound cord makes storage a little fiddly. But, overall, I do think you’re getting a bargain for under £100.
There are so many other amazing vacuum cleaner deals available right now, too. So, if the Henry Quick Corded doesn't meet your needs, I’ve picked some of my other top options below.
Dyson's budget-friendly vacuum cleaner is now even cheaper, and I seriously rate this cordless vac. It doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but I still gave it a rave 4.5-star review.
I retested this Shark vacuum recently to ensure it's still one of the best on the market - and it is! This one always sells out during the peak sales period, too.
But if these aren’t quite the right deals for you and you’ve decided to wait for the upcoming Amazon Prime Day sales to snap up a vacuum cleaner, make sure you sign up for Amazon Prime now so you don’t miss out.
