Title of review HENRY HOOVER
What are the strengths? PICKS UP EVERYTHING YOU SHOW IT EVEN IF IT'S TOO BIG TO GO UP THE TUBE!!
What are the weaknesses? STILL HAVEN'T FOUND ANY
Summary TRIED MANY VACCUUM CLEANERS FROM CYLINDERS TO UPRIGHTS - YOU MIGHT THINK HENRY THIS IS ONLY USED BY SHOPS - DON'T BE FOOLED THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VACCUM CLEANER FOR AROUND THE HOUSE, DON'T EVEN HAVE TO UNPLUG IT AS OFTEN AS THE CABLE & HOSE ARE LONG SO IT DOESN'T TAKE AS LONG TO GO AROUND. TAKES THE KNOCKS, SCRAPS AND BANGS WITH A SMILE ON ITS FACE, NEVER ARGUES BACK AND THINKS I'M ALWAYS RIGHT!

Title of review I Love Henry!
What are the strengths? Henry has many strengths.He`s everything you need in a dry vacuum.No Dyson for me thankyou!
What are the weaknesses? My relationship with Henry has revealed no weaknesses.No arguments or breakdowns to speak of as yet.As the relationship develops I`m positive it will get stronger and stronger.When I wear Henry out (as no doubt I will) I will replace him with "Son of Henry"in years to come...hopefully he will like the touch of a much older woman!
Summary Henry is the strong silent type but is very powerful with it.Not too noisy...discretion is a major concern of mine(1100W...but achieves the same if not better result than other more powerful cleaners).He does everything I command him to do with a nice smile and possesses eyes a girl could die for.

One thing at a time...
Instructions are by way of piccies and are very easy to understand.

When Henry is taken out of his box he shows himself to be of very high quality.He arrives with his dustbag already in and is supplied with 4 spare ones.I also purchased spare bags(10) for £4.99.He has a cleaning range of 104ft which means he only needs to be plugged into one socket.I can cover the whole of the downstairs and because he has such a long hose(unlike other models)I can reach to the top of the stairs.He is very lightweight(6.6kgs) and its no problem taking him upstairs with me( I suffer a bad back....keep those thoughts to yourself!!!).

His various tools are very equipped consisting of the flat brush...adjustable for carpets and hard floors...crevice tool...so handy for getting to those difficult places...brush for dusting(wots that!) and that happens to fit on the side of him...and a brush for upholstery that can slide off just exposing the plastic side...there is also something else but I ain`t discovered what that is for yet.You just pull his cord out and wind it round his head when you have finished with him.Sooo easy...and he doesn`t tangle up! I know he wouldn`t chop off my head nor hit me around the ankles when I wind his cord in.Henry is not the sadistic kind.

His power can be adjusted via an airlock for suction...from 100% down to 70%...what more can a girl ask for?And he never falls over!

My one criticism which is very minor is that there is no onboard storage for his tools...handy when wanting a change of of cleaning position!

Price:mmmmm...that £86.99 seems like a bargain but there is added P&P of 7.99.
Makro do a good deal at 69.99plusVAT but you`ve got to go and pick him up.
Its worth doing a deal with some internet suppliers to see if they will match the price.Some might even knock off the P&P.
I purchased him from Argos as they had a 10% discount offer on.He cost me £89.09 inc the bags.
Not a bad deal eh?

I believe he has other friends...a bit like Thomas the Tank Engine...but Henry is the only hoover for me.

Its a pity my exhusband wasn`t like Henry...reliable, uncomplaining,looks after my every need and the faithful type that never lets you down :)...oh...and the aftersales service is excellent too.

Well Done Numatic....if you can supply a man like that let me know!
