The cheapest cleaner doesn’t do much wrong when looked at in isolation and it seems great value at less than £45. The 5.5m cable and 1.8m hose are reasonably generous and it can be switched to become a blower by moving the tube to the outlet.
You’re given the choice of two filters or a bag for dust collection. The three stiff plastic extension tubes are sturdier than they look too. But the Titan’s main issue is that the Daewoo is much better for not much more.

We were quite impressed with the Henry’s performance and specifications until we got to the water ingestion test and read the instructions. It’s a dry-only vacuum, so was disqualified. If you only need a machine for dust and dirt, though, we have no hesitation recommending it. It matched the big Nilfisk Multi II 30T for cleaning power, the consumables are great value, and it has an enormous 12.5m cable.
Verdict
For its all-round ability, features and value, the Vacmaster Multi 20 takes the win in this test. If money and storage space aren’t issues and you need something that can handle bigger jobs, we’d recommend the mighty Nilfisk Multi II 30. The plucky little Daewoo looks great value and had surprising performance, while the Stihl offers the power of a corded machine from a battery source, albeit for a high price.
