Which hoover Henry or Hetty???

Well I think I ahve decided on either a Henry or a Hetty.

It needs to cope with tiled, wooden & carpeted floors and a cat & dog that leaves a trail of Hair behind them.:mad: so must have a good suction


Any recommendations??

    They are both exactly the same just different colours!

    I have one (Hetty) an the suction is really good and it copes well on all surfaces.

    They are the same.

    I have had one for donkeys years.
    Brilliant machines and good old workhorses that last just forever.

    Shop aroung though, they vary in prices.

    See the difference in prices between Currys and Dixons on line,
    I was looking for a freezer and the same one in Currys (199£) and Dixons (154£) a big difference specially since they are part of the same group.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    i have a hetty now, but when i was little my mum had a Henry that lasted a good 15 years!

    Every cleaner I've had has a Henry (now also with the option of Hetty). The fact that it's the cleaner's cleaner says it all. I've got them in my letting properties too and they're bomb proof - even the students can't kill them.

    My son's first word was "Henry". that's how popular they are in our house!

    Hi

    I am cleaner and though I do agree the Henry (don't know the Hetty) are very good, in my humble opinion they are pipped at the post by the Miele.

    You can get a lower end price range of Miele off the net, if you shop around for around £100-120 - they are superb.

    The other thing is that Henry is awkward for doing stairs due to his rotund figure, but the Miele sits nicely on each step.

    Henrys do seem to last for donkeys' years so that is a great plus. Make sure you get the tools if you do get one.
