Cordless Hoover Brands

Each brand approaches cordless cleaning differently: Dyson chases suction and sensors, Shark focuses on anti-tangle heads and value, Gtech and Numatic stick with bags, and tool brands like DeWalt and Makita build for garages and vans. Pick a brand below for a full guide to its current UK range, its model codes and the version worth buying.

Short version: most UK households shortlist Shark or Dyson. Look at Vax for value with swappable batteries, Gtech or Henry if you want bagged hygiene, and Miele for long-life build quality.
