Love my Henry. He is indestructible and has incredible suction. I 100% expect him to outlive me. And Numatic are an excellent company WRT righy-to-repair. I think they still supply spare parts for the very first henry ever made. Very easy decision - get a henry.
On December 11, Nilfisk released a company announcement stating that Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions GmbH has expressed its intention to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Nilfisk through a public tender offer.
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.
Which type of products are sold by Philips consumer electronics? Is it everything a normal consumer can buy?
On the Wikipedia page it looks like products such as lamps, headphones, toothbrushes and TVs are products belonging to Philips. It is a bit confusing because it says in the beginning of the Wikipedia article that the consumer electronics is no longer part of the company.
"Venture capitalist" was supposed to be "private equity".
"Consumer electronics" is apparently only referring to the audiovisual (TV, speakers etc) line of Philips. That was sold to the Chinese but not private equity firm TPV Technology.
Philips Domestic Appliances which contains e.g. vacuums, blenders, and coffee machines was sold to the Chinese private equity firm Hillhouse Capital Group.
And the lightbulbs (Philips Hue etc.) were spun off into the still Dutch Signify.
Still part of Philips seem to be products in the categories:
Dyson. British brand, recently moved to Singapore though. They make expensive vacuum cleaners with pretty damn good engineering. Source: I own a wired one.

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.

Just purchased a Sebo E3, made in Germany with some parts sourced from Canada.
Miele is German, but now has some parts and lines from China and South Korea.

Miele sucks a golf ball through a garden hose Brudi. I'm more of a Kärcher man though because I put my penis inside it.

Dysonand Numatic (who make the Henry vacuum cleaners) are both British.ThePyroPython@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 225d
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.

I'll put in a word for Rowenta from France. They make vacuums both in France and China. The high end stuff is made in France and good.

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

Ah sorry, a couple errors on my part.
"Venture capitalist" was supposed to be "private equity".
"Consumer electronics" is apparently only referring to the audiovisual (TV, speakers etc) line of Philips. That was sold to the Chinese but not private equity firm TPV Technology.
