"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."
"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"I have one teenager who’s messy and a dog who sheds like it’s her job. It’s been a game changer."

"It glides across our hardwood and tile like a dream, and the floors have never been cleaner."
"it was more for the mopping features with 3 young kids. ... mopping was most important and I don’t think it can be beat in that department at the moment."
"the S1 made me see that mopping had finally caught up ... roller mop is on par"

"it's a dream/works so well. ... I am shocked (kinda disgusted at times!) at how much it picks up."
"The other head without the spinner is fucking ridiculously strong. ... I cannot vacuum a rug with it because it sucks so hard. I have to hold one side down with my foot and pull away and it's still hard haha."
"3 dog's and 3 cats with all carpet. ... that thing fuckin rips. ... it works too good and everytime I use it I have to take scissors and cut the hair that's caught around the head in the brushes but it's not the vacuums fault I have a fucking hobby farm on a carpet sooo."

"the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared."
"the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs ... I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs"

"The only thing a Henry isn't so great for is deep pile carpet. ... Probably best to get an upright as well for that."

"The Miele and Sebo have cord rewind, but the Henry doesn’t."
I ditched my cordless Shark for a Henry Hoover. BEST decision I ever made! There was so much debris in my carpets that the Shark repeatedly missed. In a single use on the Henry, my carpets were their original colour again! 😄 (I have children, they destroy carpet on a daily basis!) The Henry never loses suction, can actually hoover under the sofa, finds all the dirt in the nooks and cranies of the room. My parents got their Henry in the early 2000's and it still runs as perfectly as day 1! Get the Henry!
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Gewoon een Hetty! Krachtig, grote stofzak, en bovendien super makkelijk in onderhoud. En mocht er onverhoopt toch iets kapot gaan, alle onderdelen zijn los te koop en voor iemand met twee linker handen en YouTube zelf te fixen!! De onderdelen zelf kosten amper wat. Dus een kei goeie stofzuiger en erg duurzaam!!! [Hetty](https://www.bol.com/nl/p/numatic-180-hetty-eco-stofzuiger-accessoire-kit-as1-620w/9300000013268210?referrer=socialshare_pdp_androidapp)
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Our Henry is well over 20 years old now. Indestructible.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Henry has always been the best hoover in my eyes and I've used many over the years. However I admit that they are cumbersome and they do deliberately throw themselves over in a tantrum, grab the corners of walls to avoid their workload and talk shit about you behind your back all while having a very smug look on their stupid red faces. That being said I would also reccomend miele. Also very good quality but much less personality.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->I’ve got the 15 with the laser, and agree it’s really there for convenience I can quickly grab it whilst I’m waiting for the coffee machine to heat up or the kettle to boil and give the living room / lounge a quick once over, etc It takes a bit of maintaining, so I’ve got a couple of filters so I can swap out when one needs washing, and you’ve gotta take it “apart” occasionally and clean out the canister and vents inside with a brush, but it works and has enough suction to do a decent job. I’ve got a good old Henry for the deep cleans, has way more suction but is much more heavy to carry around and means pulling out the cable and plugging it in
r/VacuumCleaners • Whatever you do - never buy a Dyson ->Henry. Unstoppable sucking machine.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->If you choose the Henry be prepared to smash it off every corner in your house as you have multiple tug of wars with him as he will refuse just to bloody unhook and follow you. Would still choose the Henry though!
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->The Sharks are cosplaying. More like a Silverfish. That's a good price for the Henry. One was about to get thrown out - had it over 10 years easy. I thought let me just take it apart and have a look... The contacts were dirty.. Cleaned them, cleaned it out & working perfectly again.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Henry. They're amazing little hoovers. They store away well. Powerful. And so cute! I have a Henry. I've also had a James. They last forever too.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Henry all the way. I remember at uni our old Hoover broke and they replaced it with a brand new Henry. The cleaners actually used to leave their Dyson in our flat and use our Henry in the rest of the block instead because it was so much better
