Henry because he's cheaper and just look at him! They do be pissing me off when they get stuck and just sit there smiling as you BUT I am yet to be let down by a Henry hoover ❤ I got a yellow Hettie a few years ago for Christmas of my parents and haven't looked back, she is a badass bitch and I love her! If you read up on Henry hoovers there has been LOADS - I love the fact they made a way to humanise a hoover 😂
Had both a Hetty and Shark. Get the Hetty. The Hetty would still be going but I had to have the next big thing. The Shark brush head stopped working after 2 years. Alternatively, I’d recommend a Miele C3. Got one currently and it’s ace!
Yup. Had one in my uni house and that little trooper was incredible. Had 3 shark hoovers after that and they each turned to shit within a couple of weeks. We have a Hetty now (Henry's filthy wife I think) and the power from it is simply unrelenting.
Yeah I have the pink Henry (Hetty) and she is the GOAT. My hair is hip length and she doesn’t struggle with it at all.
I have a Hetty and the suction is second to none. I did have a Shark as well but it packed up after a couple of years.
Henry's sister, Hetty (just a yellow Henry!). The bags are cheap, grab from supermarket, last ages, made in the UK, never have to clean filters, wash out tanks, pull hair out of clips and plastic, nozzles, parts, spares and accessories easy to find - it is fantastic. A bit more of a pain to use but worth it. I will never go back to bagless. It replaced an absolutely useless Dyson (yes I cleaned all the crap and maintenance, Hetty hasn't needed anything except a new bag occasionally!).
We had a cordless Hoover and I’ll be honest, it was crap. It died before I could finish the house (we have an average 3 bed), needed emptying CONSTANTLY, the rollers forever got mangled and blocked, didn’t pick up half the bits off the floor, despite them being small. It would also spit stuff out randomly whilst moving. I now have a corded little Hetty and I love her, she does what I need her to, needs emptying so much less frequently and never dies. Plus she cost a fraction of the price of the cordless one….
I've had both. I had to have a special pair of hoover chopsticks to clear blockages in my Shark every few weeks and it was a real pain in the arse. I have a numatic Hettie ? now and she is ace. Does like to test my patience by getting stuck on every corner however it's worth it and so much better than the Shark in my opinion. No one should ever need to have a special pair of hoover chopsticks!
