I've had to wash the filter to get rid of plaster and brick dust, but it's coped very well.

That is one of the main drawbacks with some vacuum cleaners. Some are straight forward and simple, but some vacuum cleaners require regular dirty maintenance.

There are a fair few brand” names that are commonly used as the generic product, not sure it is a hanging offence.

Google it and you will see.

Numatic mischievously give Henry the model number HVR like a nod to what everyone calls it.

I did use my Henry Compact for cleaning up plaster rubble and dust last year when the windows were replaced and it did well. Just think it would be better with that extra power the old model had. Having a hoover with a bag really helps with that kind of job too.

We bought a "Manufacturer refurbished" Vax upright cleaner over a year ago, about £60 on Ebay. Was like new but no original packaging, Works great and has plenty of suction.

I have a cylinder vacuum that is quite a lot larger than the 'Henry' and its great when using the hose, not very good for carpets.


Something like this.

I have just bought a new brushroll bar for my Dyson DCO7, which is great for carpets.

Yes, but i recommended the one best suited to OP`s renovations

You might want to check Facebook & Google for a second hand vacuum cleaner.

Thanks guys. I did think about titling "vaccum cleaner" but you know, hoover is shorter

We will have mainly wooden floors throughout so I think a Henry is probably a good call, thanks!

For any building work i'd go for the Screwfix.
https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb430vac-1400w-30ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner-240v/70472

Not used the wet feature yet, but cleaned out my old computers with the blower function.
Then id get another for usual domestic duties.

No way would i use my expensive Dyson on building debris!

Or Henry Vacuum Range?

Other models numbers are HVB (battery model) HVX (xtra model) HVA (allergy model) HVW (wash model). The HVR model was original called the HVC model (the first Henry), they added a Retractable cable for the HVR.

"hoover", when not capitalised (as in the first line of the opening post) is widely accepted as a generic term for a vacuum cleaner and is used as such by a great many people. You have probably used this term at some time in your life.

I understand how colloquialisms work, just thought it would be interesting for others who might not know the mistake.
