Although, the delivery man lazy ass he leave it at commonual hall way in my building but lucky enough, I went down to throw rubbish out otherwise this will be lost. It not fault of seller thought; it the lazy driver. Thank you

Henry is King of the vacuum cleaners
Henry is an absolutely amazing little vacuum cleaner, powerful enough for our household needs great on hard floors and carpets, removes all of our very fluffy Schapendoe dog hair from the carpet came with 2 free bags and all the accessories you could need , in my opinion for a modern house and large family with 2 cats and 1 dog and 2 kids still at home, it out performs the silly little rechargeable vacuums and also has a long lead and is light enough to pull around , it maybe an older design but IT WORKS

Great produc
Henry is great. I find him very easy to use, great suction. I have a mixture of cork tiles and rugs Henry cleans both beautifully. Very easy to use with a long hose and a long flex. I can clean right underneath our king size bed easily. It is great that I can store the small brush attachment on Henry so it is always within reach for ease of use. I loved Henry so much I bought one for my mum, aged 92 whose previous vacuum was over 30 years old and put more dust out the back than it sucked up at the front. She is amazed and delighted with hers “so much suction”. Henry is light and easy to manouvre and has a large capacity dust bag which is very easy to change and the flex rewinds easily back into the lid. He is great, and he is made in Britain.

A whirlwind of emotio
To be honest I don’t even know where to begin. I think the best place to start would be the reason behind Henry’s adoption. Sadly Dysons decline was fairly sudden, he went from top dog suction master, vet of almost 15 years, to a worn out has been. The enthusiasm for dust and even oose just wasn’t what it used to be. So I made the tough decision to look at a new dust enthusiast.

My search started off with a passing thought of red, I know about the joy I had back a few years ago when I had the pleasure of getting my hands round the mid section of a larger Henry dust meister. He just breezed through the session without even a second thought. So I had a start line for my search I then stumbled Apon this neat little sucker all be it slightly above what I was wanting to initially spend. After all this wasn’t going to be a one night stand, I was commited to the cause and decided that after reading numerous reviews that Henry was in fact the one for me.

Thanks to amazon’s prime service I wasnt subjected to a long wait and he arrived promptly the next day. I did struggle to contain my excitement as the dust and oose build up left by his predecessor was starting to get the better of me. Straight out of the rather small box I found what was to become a solid sturdy little suck piece. With multiple attachments and various shafts thrown in I new I wouldn’t need to use the instructions, they were quickly tossed to the side. This certainly wasn’t my first time and Henry made it so easy with that gracious yet playful little smile, he watched me assemble the parts with ease and haste. Not before long we got down to buisness as there was plenty of real estate to cover given the poor performance of Dyson and by God it was, I want to say magical. You get out what you put in with this sucker. I decided that no flow release would be needed when jumping into the carpets and stairs. I did start to work up quite the sweat as we got into it so I did have to lose my top after only 10 minutes, this did give a bit more freedom during the suction freestyle. After the session was done I assesed the results and was quite gobsmacked. I only wish Henry had came into my life sooner, his compact size and uncompromising attitude towards his work has been second to none. He sits in the corner motionless and always with that playful smile on his face until its ready to get down to buisness again. When relatives come round he breaks out the tie, god knows where he got this thing from, a nice touch I thought and totally unexpected.

To sum it up I would highly recommend his services as he is great company and is a true pro.

The genuine reliable & Tough Workhorse of the vacuum world!
We started our family back in 1997 and ended up by 2003 having 4 sons. Where am I going with this you may wonder, as is it relevant to this review. Hell YES!

Until being gifted our first (albeit, second-hand) Henry hoover back in 2013 we killed vacuumes. Not really sure how or why since we live in an ordinary and fairly small 3-bed semi, with tiled/laminate floors downstairs and good old cheapo cord carpet running up the stairs and in the bedrooms. Okay, we do have pets (cats, dogs and ferrets, which stay downstairs) and, of course, we had the 4 young boys but still, no matter how much we spent (and we even had a top of the range Dyson Animal Ball back in the day when they first came out and were 500+), or what reliable brands and highly recommended vacuum models we purchased, none survived beyond 13- 25 months.

To be clear, I’ve always had to vacuum daily downstairs so our vacuums get used frequently. Our tiles are pale cream and our laminate flooring pale oak so everything dropped or shed shows up. So it’s fair to say that I vacuum regularly, but also that I empty bags (where used) frequently and have never knowingly abused a household vacuum. But, none the less, no vacuum stayed alive much beyond its guarantee period expiring – typical luck.

Then we were gifted our first 9l Henry by a family member in 2013. Wow. Okay, so it’s bulky and not the most fashionable looking of vacuums, but it sucks hard and it goes on and on and on and on Sure, we’ve had to replace the hose attachment a couple of times over the years (which are cheap enough online) but the Henry motor just keeps running and sucking years and years on

Our original second-hand Henry is still going strong and now lives with one of my grown up sons, and we’ve purchased 2 of the smaller sized Henry’s more recently (the 6l/650w version) and keep one upstairs and one down. I like that this new Henry I just bought on Amazon has an onboard clip for the long hose to attach to when not in use. Not entirely sure whether our older Henry’s did but it’s a bonus to be able to clip the hose to the base of the Henry and have its generously long hose more conveniently stowable.

I’ve not used the lower wattage Henry so can’t really comment on that model or compare it to the 650w ones we use, but if you’re looking for a real tough workhorse of a vacuum, that can withstand use waaaaay beyond every other vacuum, plus tolerate the occasional running with its wheels in the air (upside down) or even being dropped down a few steps, this is the vacuum for you. I can’t recommend highly enough. Honestly.

Excellent cleaning buddy!
Henry is now my favourite cleaning buddy! I can drag him around from room to room, the cable pulls out as I go and the hose is long enough for those tricky jobs at height! I find that the various heads can cover all the cleaning tasks around the house – wooden floors (mostly), tiles, and carpets. I even considered getting rid of our upright vacuum cleaner which we mainly use now for the bedroom carpets, but I think that is slightly easier to use than the Henry with its turbo head.
One small issue that we have found is that the tubes, whilst easily fitted together, also twist too easily and I do need to adjust them regularly (especially with certain tools fitted). I suspect that some tape around the joint would solve it but then make it harder to stow away.
It is easy to store and light enough to take up into our roof space – which was one of its first tasks. It did an excellent job.
The disposable bag is both good and bad. Good for hygiene regions but bad for landfill.

It's a Henry
What more can I say. Henry is for me the best British hoover there is. Good strong suction unlike the others that just push the bits about. All it’s tools on board so it’s all stores away nice and tidy. I wouldn’t buy any other hoover as they’re a waste of money. Get a Henry and get the job done first time and a good job done. Highly recommend.

Reliable Henry
Had one of these years ago and ditched it for an alternative cordless well known make……had some very dirty jobs to do and could think of nothing better….hey presto Henry did the job perfectly. It is simple to use, the dust bags hold lots of debris and then replace.
an excellent product that has been going for years and can be relied upon.

I'm a vacuum hoarde
I have a problem. I buy a lot of vacuums. If it has a new feature or its got a fancy advert I buy it. I currently have a Vax blade and a shark corded stuck and a robot and have probably had most over the years. Problem is they all need so much effort. The bun needs constantly emptying or there’s always a blockage or the rollers are wrapped up in hair I have to cut off. Gross! I spend more time sorting the vacuum than it takes me to actually vacuum.
Husband was fed up. He wanted a Henry. I did not want a Henry. It’s old school and there’s nothing fancy about it. There’s no gadgets or functions. It’s literally just a vacuum.
How wrong was I? This little beast is amazing. Best suction power of all the Hoover’s I’ve had put together (unfortunately it has sucked up the hall carpet from the corner). You simply turn it on in the middle of the room and all the dirt comes running towards it. Zero effort, light, simple, easy. On and off. No turbo. No unblocking hair rollers. It’s amazing. It’s not as easy to maneuver as a stick and it’s harder on the stairs but I he’s become part of the family so we can forgive him for this.
For some strange reason our dog is totally in love with him. I frequently find her laying by his side.

Info bits : comes with a bag inside and a spare bag. 4 attachment bits that slot into the back of Henry for storage. Handle very long (or im short) but easy to take a section out for me or the kids to use. Works fab on dog hair. Just change the bottom bit to brush instead of the hard floor setting and it picks them all up.

Recommended hugely from our household.

Cracking little vacuum!
I’ve had a 9 Ltr two speed version years ago and it was great. The 6 Ltr version is smaller, one speed, and much easier to store plus it has slots to store four tools on the back. The main hose and head slots in there upright as well making it much easier to store than the old version. There is no loss of suction with the 6 Ltr, plus the bag is exactly the same size so holds the same capacity as the 9 Ltr.
Suction-wise, it pulls the carpet up like my old two-speed one on high power. You can reduce the suction by twisting the air flow valve which I need to do on my newest carpet.
What I like about all Henrys, including this one, is the power cord is really long and easily unwinds as I work. There is a winding handle to wind it all in again after vacuuming. It’s a doddle!
The large capacity bag takes ages to fill up, even with daily use. I’m into my third month of using it now after purchase and the bag still isn’t full.
The only downside of all Henrys is that there is no locking mechanism for the tools while in use. They are all push fit and can occasionally slip off in use. The flip side I suppose is that they are quicker to slip on and off.
Highly recommended to newbies, Henrys pick up everything big and small!

Brilliant!
My daughters have been nagging me to get one of these so now I have. It’s so much easier and fuss free compared to all the heavy and over engineered Dysons I’ve bought over the years. Henry glides faithfully behind. Suction is excellent. The bag is really big so I shouldn’t think it needs replacing for quite a while. It was cheaper on Amazon too. Win, win all the way!

"We love Henry"
Having bought so many “great” hoovers in the past, we finally opted for one that cost a bit more than we would normally pay. Was it worth the money? Absolutely! This is a very powerful, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre hoover. Stong suction, easily picked up hairs and other normally tough to get bits. Another plus is that you can store its accessories on the hoover as well. Can’t fault it, my advice to anyone is it’s definitely worth paying that little extra for. 5 stars all the way!

Unexpected power.
I had thought that with the ‘new Green’ guidelines this ‘Henry’ would not be as good as the old one I had relied on for many years. I was mistaken! It is every bit as good and at the moment, at least, better – sucking up dust and dog hairs alike.
I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it, not only on its ability to do its job but the reasonable price too.

Wish I had bought this sooner!
For the past few years I have been using cordless vacuum cleaners, which are okay up to a point – obviously, not having to have them plugged in but I have found that they are just not so good at cleaning. They are messy to empty and a pain if the charge runs out part way through the clean.

So I decided to get a Henry – wow! I rarely have it on full suction because it is so powerful. It is great at cleaning deep into the carpets, the extension poles means that I can reach up high to remove cobwebs and the extra long lead means that I can clean the whole floor from one socket. And as there is a contained bag – no dust flying all over the place when it is emptied. Well please and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Great hover. Everyone should own a Henry.
After years of buying hovers that didn’t last long or the cable was too short. I decided to but this Henry hover. It’s a pleasure to do the hovering now. I choose this Henry over the cheaper one as this comes with all the tools you need. And it takes nine litres before you need to change the bag. I brought a extra ten original Henry hover bags as I wasn’t sure if you received one with hover. But I’m pleased to say you get two hover bags with it. They are great no mess. Simply remover the paper bag and push the tab in on the bag and throw it away. My mother in law got a Henry hover but hers is the 6 litre model and she has a cloth bag in hers it’s so hard to empty. I much prefer the throw away bags.
It dos have different power stages you turn the level on the handle. It’s great for picking up dog hair. We have a Rottie and when she malts you could make another dog out of all the hair. Henry picks it up with easy.

Everyone should own a Henery. I love it and all the tools fit on the back of the hover. So they are easy to reach if needed.

I highly recommend this hover to anyone. I can see this lasting us years. And the hover has 10 meters of cable plenty to do two large rooms without unplugging it.

Awesome.

The best you can get for the money
millions of commercial cleaners can’t be wrong! This is a no-frills, brilliant machine. Suction is excellent, and with the turbo head it is great if you live with pets or people with long hair. It has a handy storage space for the various hose attachments. You can knock this about all day long and it probably won’t break. Not much else to say really, except that I will never go back to handheld or ridiculously overpriced 400 vacuum cleaners agai

Best Vacuum Cleaner I've ever had.
I’ve had three Henry vacuum cleaners ever since a lady who cleaned at a police station told me they were the best vacuum cleaners ever because there was nothing about them that could go wrong – they just sucked up the dirt (and probably the odd coin, hairclip etc). Still grateful to her some years later when I ordered a new Henry recently. There IS nothing that can go wrong. I’ve three hair-shedding dogs and two lesser-shedding cats so vacuum every day and the latest Turbo Henry is even better. It also seems to be quieter than the previous two were. The bags are simple to change and readily available in shops and on-line. I can’t foresee myself buying any other type of vacuum cleaner again.

You get what you'd expec
What can I say, it’s a Henry. Anyone who has ever used one, knows what they’re like.

Great suction, can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, being realistic that is.

I also own a wireless Shark hoover, which is really good for just giving everything a light once over but if I really need to get things clean the henry is my no1 choice, every time.

In terms on manoeuvrability, it’s limited by its design, obviously you have to pull it along with you but you know what you’re buying when you look at it, so I have no issues about that.

For me, I’d recommend a Henry hoover to anyone, you really cant go wrong with one.

Bought For My Wife's 60th Birthday
Hello hello, I bought this for my wife’s 60th birthday present. I’ve always wanted one, which means she probably might one want as well.

2021 Update: Sadly now divorced, after 26 years too. Never mind, I got ‘custody’ of the Henry. Oh yes, and the dog, result!

Henry is fantastic. More than makes up for losing my long term partner and the bags are a lot cheaper too. Than the bags for our previous vacuum that is. My ex-wife spent a fortune on handbags now I think about it. She had about 60 of the bloody things.

Recommended. Not as a birthday present though.

Hip, Hip Hooray for Henry
I’m so pleased with Henry. Excellent suction, movement, variety of tools, stretch and power. Easy to switch between tasks. I like that I can carry the tools on the slots at the back and interchange tasks quickly. You have plenty of options with lengths and tools. Carpets and hard floors look great. Definitely good value for money.

Was a little worried it would be heavy to use after a lightweight cordless but being able to complete the task in one go, without constant emptying and coughing on dust from bagless hoover is worth it.

Can be a bit of a balancing act on stairs but it’s workable. I’ve definitely put Henry through its paces and it makes this cleaning task less of a chore. Highly recommended from a home with a long haired owner and a dog that likes mud – Henry is a welcome addition to keep us clean ( :

The best vacuum for me
I moved to a smaller home and purchased one of those cordless ones to save space. This was a mistake and I just couldn’t get on with it. So even though I had got rid of my old Henry I purchased another one. This model is very powerful and suits me best. Having a disabled arm, the weight of this one is easy to pull along on its wheels, unlike the cordless ones that have all the weight at the top and you have to physically act like a weightlifter to use them.

Fantastic all rounder!
I adore my Henry and I am glad that I invested in one. Needed a new vacuum and looked around at many options, almost got sucked in to buying one of the fancier fashionable brands but glad I stuck to what I know as I not disappointed. I have two part time jobs as a cleaner and we use vacuums by Numatic (who make Henry’s) every day so I was familiar with them so decided to get one of my own.

Suction is phenomenal, it’s lightweight and has a long cable. It’s ideal for my flat. Although I don’t have pets, I shed a lot of hair so have to vacuum regularly and often find other vacuums I have had in the past don’t pick up well on short carpets – complete opposite with this! It’s brilliant and gets all the hair out the carpet.

Came with a few attachments, have not used those as of yet but they will come in handy. 10/10 would recommend and even better it’s made in the UK.

HENRYS Little brother BRILLIANT!!! 5☆
absolutely BRILLIANT! 5 I’ve had the large Henry which was my Dads passed down to me about 15yrs ago, never had or needed any repairs or spares Its seen me through 2 house moves & full renovations, 3 dogs, 4 children growing up & all the dust, fur & dirt that entails …Henry still going as great as the day he came to live with us. Hence now 1 old dog left, furry one that is not me , kids flown nest & we’ve down sized yes another move & renovation he’s still going brilliantly! Henry that is, we’re flagging …. but big Henry is a little large & heavy for me these days so I treated myself to the little yellow Henry having great reviews about the smaller Hetty, Harry versions….. Little yellow Henry arrived (GREAT SERVICE PRIME!) I was expecting maybe a little less suction strength being smaller but hey WOW!!! I was amazed, just as powerful as his big brother, lovely & light to lift & pull around absolutely brilliant. So big Henry has now retired to my hubby’s workshop, good luck in there Henry!! & i’m made up with his little yellow brother. I would recommend them 150% against any rediculously prised DY–N on the market, My friends had them they broke down after a year, lost suction, cracked messed about with filters etc all the time my good old faithful big Henry was whizzing about smiling & still is brilliant suction, same filter, no cracks or spare parts needed!!! YAY! stuff ya DY__Ns girlys! Gimme a Henry family any day! One VERY happy Henry customer LOVE IT! & banned from any brick dust coming anywhere near him he’s mine!!!

I love Henry Cordless.
Wow! I love him. I love him. I love him.

Just bought a house, so have been avidly researching best vac 2020. Shark? Dyson? Vax?

Then. I had a few wines one night, and many happy memories flooded back of watching big people hoovering with away with this little chap.

I don’t know about wattage or tech compared to other popular brands, but the electricians left a dust pile of devastation around the whole house – and my new little man has eaten it all up with pride.

Love that he is rechargeable, so a modern twist afterall – and he’s as part of my new home now as my beautiful whippet.

And for many years to come.

Who ever thought I’d be so happy to own a hoover!

Henry. My new pal

£99 well spe
Haver tried various other big name manufacturers with twice as powerful and noisy motors. Bits fall off because they are just a bit too flimsy, but corners have been cut to get down to a price point.

A simply design but effective, uses bags but motor is quiet yet effective. Polythene construction ensures it will bounce rather than break. Tools and attachments similarly well made. No wonder we see them used in offices up and down the land.

CAVEAT. I see the product range goes to near double the price. I think you get the same motor and filtration system in this base model.

Awkward to use on longer stairs, but frankly what isn’t?

Well thought out and executed 10/10

A vacuum that lifts Labrador hair!!!! Brillia
At last ive found a vacuum that reliably picks up Labrador fur!!!!
My boys hair blocks up 3 other animal-specific much more expensive vacuums. I was seriously considering changing my flooring to laminate which personally i dont like. Henry lifted it all without having to push backwards and forwards like an automaton
The suction is amazing with pick up being superb and with no blocking and having to dismantle to unblock it
Its not ideal for stairs but i can live with that
Pulling the machine behind you just takes a little getting used to as its not a major effort
Overall im delighted with Henry and wish id thought of him soone

Hands down the best and most reliable domestic hoover.
I have limited storage options, but I wanted a hoover that I knew could do the job and was built to last. I’d borrowed a Henry 200 from a friend last time I did my carpets, which were badly in need of vacuuming. It did a cracking job in no time, although it was probably more powerful than I needed and just a bit on the large side for my limited storage space.
I went looking at other hoovers in the Henry range, and the 160 fitted the bill perfectly. It’s just right for smaller flats, and although it does still has a larger footprint than most upright hoovers, its performance for its size is unparalelled. It was almost lifting the carpet in places. I like it’s functionality, with its simple, compact design, no fancy gimmicks (manual cable rewind insteaf of a spring-loaded rewind which will inevitably break) and storage slots on the back for accessories. It’s still powerful enough for my needs with a pet cat in the house. Getting around the carpet edges is also a doddle, unlike most upright hoovers.
Definitely very happy with my purchase. With the right care it should last a lifetime.
