Had a Henry for years, best little work horses, which is why Builders use them, they go on and on and on.


Mine has a carpet beater thingy on and works brilliant picking up pet hairs that our long haired Main Coon leaves behind.

Can i ask, do you use a bag in your Henry?
I always thought bagless was better and if Henry is a chosen 'builders' hoover, surely with the amount of dirt and detritus they must collect would make a 'bagged' hoover a pain to use as they'd need a new bag every 5 minutes?

I use a bag on mine but we kept our old one for decorating etc. and don't use a bag on it. The bags are very big and also cheap, using a bag keeps the filter clean too. Never had loss of suction on ours.

We opted for a Charles as it's a wet/dry version. But my plan is to use the turbo-brush from my old upright hoover on the stair carpet!

I agree the Henry is a good machine but I've just had to replace mine purely because it's too heavy for me to manoeuvre

We've had a wet/dry George for donkeys and would buy another in an instant if he died. Quite heavy is a downside.


Re-usable, machine washable bags with a big zip are freely available for about a fiver and work very well.

I would stick with disposable bags, the reusables are quite messy to empty.
They last ages anyway and I pay £10 for 20 bags off Amazon.
