"I bought an extra one after 10 years cause I figured Henry needed a friend. They both still work fantastic, even with two big dogs and two cats."
"Two dogs and cats. One of the dogs sheds vacuum killing amounts of hair."

"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"
"practically everyone uses Henry's in the cleaning industry and as shop vacs. ... They're nearly impossible to kill"
"the Henry will last you a couple of decades. ... So you won’t have to waste money buying a whole new unit every few years like you would with a modern bagless."

"Henry is amazing but he does not do great on carpeting. ... I do recommend him but only to people who have no carpet and very very few rugs."
"Not for carpet unfortunately ... the turbo head is really only meant for area rugs. ... If you have wall to wall med pile carpet you’ll want something with an electric powerhead."
"as long as you don’t plan on having wall to wall carpets or more rugs/thicker pile rugs over the next 20 years or so."

"Then again Miele/Sebo/Henry and really expensive in the US for some reason ... It's insane that Americans are paying upwards of $1000 on vacuum cleaners though ... I do love mine but it's straight up not worth that kind of money ... It's insane how much the same models of vacuums cost in the US compared to here in the UK"
"The Henry 160 would be quite expensive though. I got a quote from the distributor here and it's about $450SGD."
