    I just have the basic one (I think it cost about £90?), you can also get the one for animals too but all my floors are hard so I didn't really need that.
    It's the best vacuum I've ever had.

    We love our Henry... tis the same basic numatic version (about £80 on a Homebase 10% day) and does far better than the more expensive Dyson it replaced.
    Just because somebody is certain doesn't mean they are right!

    Good afternoon: We love our Henry (basic model) aka 'Hank'. You can buy Henry bags in bulk v.v. cheap at Costco.

    I too have a Henry and think it's great.

    I've had vax's and electrolux's before this, but I would rather have a Henry any day. No problems.

    I've got the plain and simple version. lol
  • I bought hetty the other day (she's pink) , and it the best buy ever.
  • Henry is the other man in my life........ basic henry around £90 hes fab, fab, fab, his suction is second to none(cue the jumping man;but i can't) and he never moans his tea is cold!! I got a load of replacement bags from our £ shopMy mum has had her henry for 8 years and he's never complained or broken down!!

    Check that the model you buy has "-22" on the end of the part number.

    This means it has a two stage twin speed vacuum motor; more powerful and versatile than the older single stage single speed machines.

    Get the Henry one, you won't be dissapointed. I also found that it works just fine without the bags, saving even more money :D
