This is best vacuum cleaner I ever have

published

I bought different vacuum cleaner twice and I end up to throw them away, Now I have Hendry and been using it more than 3 years and it still work perfectly as just bought, It works quite good on both carpet and floor tiles. The vacuuming power is strong enough to remove soil and small stones. The length of the cord is one of its strength.
Little bit heavy but that is fine because it has wheel to move around

Best vacuum cleaner, value for money

published

This English made vacuum cleaner is sturdy and great for large areas. Has a very long cord. Comes with large bags and additional for about a $1 ea. can also be used bag less. Bought online and deliveredwas cheaper than in store. Adjustable suction and additional attachments make it suitable for a variety of surfaces. An economical purchase compared to some other brands. Virtually the power of a commercial vacuum cleaner. It's size might be an issue for a small home or apartment both in use and storage.

Not the best on the market

published

The suction and performance of the unit isn't the greatest. I have used cheaper machines that can match or even exceed this machine. Tje machines manoeuvrability is ok but a cordless machine is so much more convenient. I feel this machine was made to clean clean larger areas like halls and open spaces, as opposed to house's and having to move around furniture.

Used it at work but not recommend for home

published

It works quite good on both carpet and floor tiles. The vacuuming power is strong enough to remove soil and small stones. The length of the cord is one of its strength. However, it is not lightweight and quiet enough. It will be a pain to carry around at home.

Would not recommend

published

this hoover is terrible on carpets and has trouble picking up slightly larger things on tiles. It's bulky and hard to manoeuvre and definitely doesn't do a good job. The henrys I have are old hoovers however my old Dyson still does a really good job and is older than the henrys. Would never buy this Hoover again.

Sensational

published

We use 2 Henry's in semi commercial environment. They have both performed very well, have excellent suction, are easy to manoeuvre and are very quiet. The dust bags are easy to fit and replace and they come with a good selection of crevice tools. The quality of the hose, fittings etc is very good. Highly recommended.

Edward (big brother) died after 25 years.

published

After 25 years of using Edward, I am more than happy with Henry. Very quiet and easy to use. Can vacuum the whole house from just 2 power points as the cord is a good length. Easy to change the heads. Plenty of suck. Made in England for reliability. Loved Edward and now love Henry. Paid $285.00 including postage from UK. Just had to get the plug changed to AUS.

Henry surprise

published

The biggest surprise with the Henry is how quiet the unit is (I had to check that I had switched it on). This vacuum cleaner has simplicity with suction that is amazing. You are able to dial the amount of suction for every surface you need to vacuum.
Henry is a small commercial class vacuum cleaner which is easy to assemble and pack up, has a long cord that is retractable and the unit moves easily with you. In the box you will find all the attachments along with a set of vacuum bags to get you started. Henry comes with a face...you may or may not chose to attach this. Henry is available in two colours - Blue or Red.

not easy to use

published

the suction on this vac is ok but for a $500 vac its not easy at all to use you'll be walking back to guide it around corners it constantly tips over it doesnt have an automatic rewind it constantly comes apart meaning the hose the most frustrating vacuum cleaner i have ever used theres a lot better choices then this one.

Powerful suction but very heavy to use

published

We bought it due to the great reviews online and we have used it for 4 months. It has really powerful suctions compared to the few household grade models I had used previously. I personally find it quite heavy to use (mainly because I have to carry up and down stairs). Also, paying $400+ (incl shipping) for this was too steep for my liking.

Date PurchasedAug 2016

Disappointed

published

Crap dust busters have better suction I think homer simpson could design a better machine remember take 500 dollars through it in the gutter and save yourself money. Don't buy this overpriced badly designed rubbish!!!

What a difference to the last vacuum.

published

After our last vac, we are amazed at the powerful suction of the Henry. Our Previous vac would have struggled to suck the skin off a boarding house pudding. Not so with the Henry, it actually lifts the carpet from the floor. We are using it in a very large house - half carpet and other half tiles. It is very quite and easily maneuvered.
After making comparisons, we purchased Henry from 'double t appliances'. Included in the delivery price was an extra vacuum head dedicated to hard floors as well as 13 replacement bags and free delivery. The all up cost was $389.00.
We would highly recommend the HRV200-12.

Can't live without him

published

Excellent suction, easy to move around, very easy to pick up, quieter than expected. Large two level house to vacuum, including that carpeted garage which was always difficult to vacuum but able to get around quickly. Bought this because of its excellent reviews on this website and definitely not disappointed. Only used once first time today, received a few days ago. Eloctrolux motor burnt out after 4 years, probably due to the plaster particles after having some renovations done. Shouldn't worry this one.

Amazing! A house-proud dream come true!

Excellent Henry sucks like a trooper

published

Very pleased with this version of Henry, normal Henry wattage is around 500 watts. This 720 watt version with that little extra suction makes all the difference pulls really hard and makes out for a banging job. :) light weight and on casters, glides around the room fairly quiet in comparison to the 500w version. hardly any noise. I use Henry to suck the filth from everywhere.

Best vacuum ever

published

Built to last mine is now 15 years old & still going strong. I work as a housekeeper & have tried other models & this one has survived & beats the rest by far. Its been through the toughest even sucks up builders mess including sand & concrete with ease. Easy to wind extra long cord. Bags are inexpensive & last a long time. Love my Henry would never consider anything else.

This is one of the Best Vacuum cleaners

published

I Recently purchased Hetty from a Ebay seller. I have also bought a Turbo head that is a optional purchase.
The machine is wonderful has really good suction just as good as my previous Dyson and half the cost.
I'm very happy with my Purchase and will be telling my friends about this product.

Simplicity at its best

published

Plenty of power, light, simple, robust. If it ever did break you can buy parts instead of throwing it away which is very important to me in this day and age. After looking and researching vacuums to buy this was a clear stand out at an affordable price. Don't buy the cyclonic gimmick machines. Bags work out to be about $1.70each.

Is Henry any good at picking up dog hair

Hi I’m afraid I’m not sure as I don’t have a shedding dog-

While I don't own a dog, I think it should have no problems - it's pretty powerful. I use it in my shop to vacuum up sand, metal nuts and bolts, gyprock dust - all stuff that is challenging for most vacuum cleaners.

Henry

Which model is the best and is Henry good with animal fur? I have been through a LOT of vacuum cleaners and sick of it! I have used a Henry in housekeeping so know they are good but not sure what they are like with pet fur! I have 3 cats in at night and outside some of the day and a dog that comes inside in the evenings.

We have the yellow henry. We have 2 dogs 2 cats and 4 kids and I don't have an issue with hair.

We don't have animals but I bought a secondhand rug that had dog hair in the flat tight weave, I assumed I'd have to pull each one out by hand but I just used Henry and it was all picked up.
