Best vacuum cleaners under £100?

I'm looking for a vacuum cleaner under £100 or so, having recently wasted fifty quid on a rubbish Tesco bagless one which spilled the dust out all the time after hoovering it up.

Have previously been pointed in the direction of both a Henry and a Vax, are these up to scratch in your opinion? Any other decent ones? Any experience of refurbished models?

    Henry. Get yourself a Henry. We have the Henrietta as she is so cute and pink.
    Plus a washable bag can be bought from Amazon for 6 or 7 quid so it save buying thro away bags.

    Henry all the way I love my little blue dust buster.

    I use mine empty and just wash inside with warm soapy water occasionally and wash filter net on top of drum in the shower and it brings it up great!

    Had a VAX (can not remember which model) but returned it swiftly! Henry is your best option.

    You won't beat a Henry!

    If you can stretch past £100 or find vouchers codes/discount I'd recommend the Miele S2111. Mine was just over £100 as I found codes. Suction on it is awesome and it's really lightweight. I gave my 18 year old Miele away to my DD and that still works like new as well. Hope you're getting a refund from te£co

    Just checked out performance of Henry vacuums on Which Magazine. Scored only 52% in their reviews.
    The Panasonic MC-UL594 Eco-Max - which is shown at £120 scored 65%.
    The best buy table is filled with Miele and Bosch but these are much more expensive.

    Could you kindly copy paste the ranking on Which Magazine?

    Also a vote for Henry. No mucky looking dust collection chamber and it copes well with my sporadic vacuuming routine, where others have given up in disgust.
