I cannot fault HENRY, infact I am on my second one. The first one lasted me 26 years and it had fallen down the stairs on several occasions, without a mark on it and still smiling!
Its been some years since ive used a Henry and my first impression was of the fine quality of materials used really built to last the many years of dependable use he will provide.
Everything right down to the rugged casters that he runs on feels very well put together specifically designed for commercial use in Hotels and other areas that require regular cleaning.I particularly like the fitments used on the extension segments,designed so that they can be used time and time again without any worry of pieces breaking.
This new model has the new 1200w motor with the convienience of high and low settings depending on what surfaces require cleaning.I can remember the cleaner i used had the 1000w motor without the high and ... Read More:
The machine is very solidly built and easy to use. You must ask yourself why the Henry is so commonly seen in commercial environments?
The only reservations I had before purchasing this was the power. 1200W compared to a 2000W+ Dyson.
Well, I have owned both a Dyson and now a Henry, and I must say that the Henry seems to have more, or at least equal suction to the Dyson, which is a testament to the engineering. You are essentially saving half of the power for no loss of useability. Just goes to show you that wattage doesn't necessarily mean better suction!
Due to the sheer solidity of the Henry, I can't see any particular weak points, and am pretty sure he could survive a tumble down the stairs. The hoses are stainless steel ... Read More:

We bought our Henry hound about 2 1/2 years ago now after having two vax vacuums that only lasted just over a year. Henry has been a revelation!!
He has been the best vacuum ever, we have just finished our house build and poor Henry has been used for cleaning up plaster, sand, brick dust, screws and nails, wood shavings etc. Now we are going back to using him as a domestic appliance and apart from the paint stain on his case, you would never know how much he has been used - day in day out for 18 months on a building site!
Fantastic power yet quiet motor. We always use the dust bags which hold a large volume they are worth the money as our previous vacuums were bagless and emptying the compartment was not pleasant.

I got this little beauty today and I cannot believe I have not had one sooner! 5 years struggling with 3 different dysons which each broke down on numerous occasions and so much frustration. I turned it on and even on low power it out classes the dyson for suction. It has a great number of tools and came with a handy red bag to store them in to carry them round the house with. The suction on both carpet and wooden floors is incredible! It is not too heavy to take upstairs and glides along behind you. So far I can't find any fault with it. If you are debating whether or not to change from the Dyson I would definitely recommend this. It is so much sturdier too.
I have had other dustbusters but this one beats all. I suffer from arthritis and this little vac just skims across the floor with the aid of two little wheels, I have no problem using it, in fact I rarely ever use my big vac now as this one seems to go on forever without charge. It has a run time of about 20 or so minutes time to do the job no problem. I would recommend this little vac above all others. I give it five, well worth the money.
25-ish years ago, I used to love toy replicas of my mum's real domestic appliances made by Casdon. And 25 years on there is no doubt about it: kids ADORE this toy replica of the commercial/domestic Numatic 'Henry'. Even kids who are petrified of real vaccuums! From the moment I bought this, this has been one of the most popular toys with both my kids and their friends. The children wander round, happily vaccuuming the floor (with or without batteries), pulling or carrying 'Henry' along with them.
Unfortunately, the popularity of the toy is diminished by the poor build quality and some really daft design features. The 'body' and 'hat' of this toy Henry, though not what I'd call particularly solid, seem to be reasonably robust. However this is ... Read More:
