Fantastic - powerful suction - simple design.
I use on both carpet and hard surface, accessories are brilliant and the power mode with extra suction really pulls the carpet up and removes dog hair - dont wast money on more expensive vacuum cleaners - love it and the bags are not too expensive

I've had my Henry for about 5 years and wish they were more commonly available Australia as I would recommend to anyone looking for the sort of reliability and efficiency that Henry provides. So easy to move around and so easy to use - My only wish is that we had a Henry at work as well so I didn't have to struggle around with the old useless one we have there now.
Henry's are common place in the UK and trusted by so many - What a pity Australia hasn't caught up yet!!

I bought my Henry about 25 years ago when I worked in a hospital and saw them being used there. Hasn't missed a beat since, and I love it that I don't have to keep buying vacuum bags. Henry hasn't got any bells and whistles, but who cares - he works like a Trojan.

I have seen professional cleaners lugging around one of these in hospitals. I bought one and I think it has been one of the best investments. Although it does not have any fancy attachments, it has great suction and does not draw as much power like other cleaners. The motor is quiet compared to other more expensive / similarly priced cleaners (under $300).

My brother-in-Law in the UK has an industrial cleaning business, and uses nothing else but Henry machines, which rarely break down, and have had the same parts for years, so he uses old parts from other machines. I had difficulty buying one over here,and 10 years ago ordered one from Perth for our theatre construction store. It has heavy use, and still works perfectly. I have a new Hetty at home, and am impressed by the dual power levels, which is great for vacuuming carpets. I would recommend the Henry to anyone wanting a reasonably priced efficient and reliable machine.
Very reliable, large capacity, inexpensive, parts dont wear out.

Have to agree with the other reviewers, this is a vacuum cleaner.
Our first Henry died after about 8 yrs so went to retravision & was enticed by the fancy looking models on display. Bought an LG (possibly this style is all the same). From day 1 it was poor in suction & required constant cleaning of it's many filters.
After only 8 months we were fed up,not something that should happen with a basic item like this, went back to a real vacuum cleaner store & bought another Henry.
He is so basic he works.
And cute.
Value for money-cheaper than the last one, simple, works

I have been using the Henry vacuum cleaner for 3 years now and I have my own cleaning business I have Henry, Hetty and George the wet dry vacuum.
I swear by these machines Henry and Hetty vacuum up to 5 homes a day eac for the past 3 years and still going strong. George is used for commercial work at a day care centre and vacumming for 4 hours a night for the past 3 years also..
I love these vaccum cleaners and swear by them they are so easy to move around with and reliable... I will never buy another brand of vacuum cleaner again.
Reliable, easy to move around the place, he lasts and lasts and lasts.

I am a cleaner and have used many vacs, When every customers aske me which vac is the best.... You cant go wrong with a Henry. It is the best vacuum cleaner I have every used.
powerfull engine,sucks well,lo maintence,long cord,takes a good battering,all round fantastic machine. Not used anything else like it.
It needs glasses....keeps banging into the wall. A little fat needs to go on a diet .

Highly recommended especially if you have kids, mine is 8 years old and hasn't missed a beat. Use it everyday. Sucks up lego etc... no worries. great long cord and big bag capacity. Love it!!
Tough and strong - almost unbreakable
Not much - does run in to the walls abit.
