Over here just about every shop stocks Henry, and if they don't stock them then they stock Henry bags. Does the US have a machine similar in popularity? Picture of Henry attached below for those unfamiliar. They're just about everywhere over here :p

Actually, the vacuum you see most often in stores, hotels, showrooms, residential buildings and even large places like airports here in North America is a red Sanitaire bagged upright. Up until a few years ago, Sanitaire was made by America's Eureka company which was owned by Swedish Electrolux from 1974 to 2004. So in those years, some 240v Sanitaire uprights were sold under the Electrolux name in Europe.

Henry Henry and his friends are available here but I'm not sure how popular they are. One thing that is missing is the ability to support an electric power nozzle, although with battery nozzles available now, Henry could clean carpets quite well. Mike | ||

Be it red or blue, this is absolutely the USA equivalent in canister popularity. As far as general vacuum popularity, not too sure.

@Ilovehoovers I would say in the home Market we see Miele C1/s2000 vacuum cleaner is quite a bit. In the commercial Market over here it's really not that uncommon to see Numatic. I've had multiple come in with them in the past few months alone.
With the launch of the 160 compact a few years ago we've seen numerous independent dealers now carrying them. The word is getting out I would expect in the next decade for them to become far more commonplace in the United States. | ||

@electromatik
My understanding in Canada that canisters and Central Vacuums the most popular type of vacuum cleaners. Especially with how much grit they have to vacuum off their hard surfaces in Winter uprights kind of take a second seat over there. But if there's a study that says otherwise I'm always open to being wrong. Where did you get the market share number of 40% on shark by the way if you could link that it would be awesome. | ||

At this point in time I would say the Shark Navigator line. They're sold at basically every retailer and have been for probably a decade now. It seems like every other non-collector (so most people lol) I've met owns one. It's also hard to go to any Goodwill around here and not see one for sale. It would be cool to have some industry market share studies to look at. If you search for best selling vacuum on Amazon, the Navigator NV360 is their 9th best selling, and NV356E is the 15th. #1 is a Bissell stick vac.
I agree with @eurekaprince about the Sanitaires; they're everywhere commercially. Sebo/Windsor are probably second. Not many people in the US use canisters. Again don't have market research insights but I bet Electrolux and Sears had the largest share of the market for most of the late 20th cenutry and early 2000s. | ||
