Henry or Harry?! pet hair

Mimi_Arc_en_ciel

Hi!

My Dyson is no longer coping with the dog hairs from my Jack Russel and someone suggested I buy a Henry....

I've never owned one before, and to be honest they have confused the heck out of me. I don't understand what the difference is on any of them (other than colour!)

Can anyone recommend a henry/james/hetty/harry ?!!

Thanks!

Miele, everytime. I wouldn't have a clue about Henry's but I know the Miele practically lifts the carpets off the floors.

Miele's are expensive though - the last time I looked they were over £300 :eek:

I've got a Henry which lifts the carpet off the floor. 10+ years old and works as new. I like the very long cable and rewind system which is manual but very easy. The bags are large so take a long time to fill. Never used the Harry but the charcoal filter sounds good as mine does smell. I used to have a golden retriever stay with me and my Henry coped easily with the dog hairs although if I had a dog I would pay the extra for Harry.

A friend, who makes Ming the Merciless look kind with regard to household appliances, bought a Hetty (a female Henry) about four years ago. Despite constant abuse from her, her two young sons and two French Mastiffs it still works well. She broke a Dyson twice in a month.

Get a robot! Seriously, they are unbelievably good at coping with pet hair. Mine leaves my top of the range Dyson standing.

See http://www.irobot.com/For-the-Home/Vacuum-Cleaning/Roomba.aspx - plenty of earlier models going second hand on ebay.

Henry everytime - all the major cleaning companies i have worked with use them.

At less than £100 they would be your best "bang for buck"

That's the Commercial "Henry" - the differences (apart from the name) include the wider base which makes it more difficult to accidentally tip over & a longer power cable.
Oh, and a 2-year collect & return warranty! :T
