We have a Henry at work, the industrial version. It's our own business so we take the dog every day (collie) and she sits in the office (which is the only part with carpet).
The Henry is great on the concrete factory floor but totally hopeless at dealing with the dog hair on the carpet. I've given up with it in the office and use a rubber broom instead.
It also takes up loads of room - it's untidy and horribly bulky to store without taking the whole thing apart.

At home we have a Dyson Animal which just eats the pet hair on hard floor and carpet with no issues but I wouldn't use that in the factory as the dust would probably kill it.
It really comes down use - for the building work I'd go Henry and then swop for something that can cope with hair when the build is done.

I used to look after a Golden Retriever. My Henry was ok at cleaning the hairs from my living room carpet but would leave hairs in the kitchen carpet which was cord. The rotating brush is designed to remove hairs from carpets so presumably would be much better at dealing with hairs if fitted with the pet hair brush attachment..

I bought an earlex builders vac years ago and it does wet and dry and has amazing power. The downside is that is is bulky and noisy. If I am doing demolition or need tool dust extraction it can't be beaten. I have also got a Henry which I was given and it is very quiet in comparison and it sucks up pretty much everything. I have even used it to clear out a wood burning stove using a filtered attachment. We also have a Dyson for everyday use and it's level of cleaning is fantastic however it wouldn't last 5 minutes in the harsher environments I've used the other 2 in so it really isn't a 1 solution for all.

I have heard that the Henrys are heavier than the Hettys as they have a bigger electronic "brain" is this true ?

But the Hettys suck better apparently..

This is what i was wondering. I used to take my dog to work and the Henry wasn't good on synthetic carpets where there was dog hair. Which I why I wouldn't get one without the attachment.

I did use an old Dyson for site use. It cleaned out cavity walls and all sorts but within 6 months it was wrecked.

are these any good for cleaning a laptop keyboard and a external keyboard?
