Hetty Hoover (pink) in press shot being used at home

Love it or hate it, Hetty’s pink exterior is instantly recognisable. It’s quite funny how adding a face and splash of colour to what’s essentially quite a utilitarian vacuum, has elevated her to national treasure status.

A bagged vacuum that’s not cordless, might feel like a dated concept, and might not be an immediate contender in your mind for the award of best vacuum. But I know so many people who are tired of short run times and small dust canisters. What’s more, bagging one of the best cordless vacuums at this price level is pretty much impossible. Hetty will set you back £160 and I personally think is likely to outlive any cordless vacuum you might be considering.
