    Because the £85 jobbies use cheaper motors than the slightly more expensive ones.

    The henry extra is a standard henry, with extras. Same motor.

    Allow me to clarify.

    When I said "spend the extra £30", I didn't mean go to the next model up in the range. You stick with the same chosen model, but you buy the commercial version.

    Our Henry is still going strong after 14 years, and the only expense in that time has been the cost of one replacement hose.
    By contrast, the MIL's Henry has done 2 motors in just over 6 years.
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.
