"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"I still have the Kirby my grandma bought brand new in 1970."

"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."

"For the current sale price (I paid £30/$40) and with the x2 quality tip sets included, it’s a no brainer. ... The Divinus Velvet tips alone are like $20-25 and I use only them with my Fudu after trying 8-10 different types."
"However, if you’re able to snap it up at around $40, then its bang-for-buck score would easily hit a full 5."
"KZ EDX Pro X is like $4 & an insane value…."

"I also have to be careful to pick everything up or it will get stuck after destroying my kids toys."
"The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something."
"Not only does it stop and turn every couple of minutes, but in almost every run through my flat, it missed something. ... sometimes it didn go underneath my table, sometimes it missed a corner, . this was actually the main point why I returned it eventually. ... You need to be able to trust your robot vac to clean everywhere. ... these were not impossible to reach places, and there was no feedback at all why it didn go there."

"chunky edges on my 4.5 inch wrist which is tiny"
"So much lighter and low profile than my Epix."
"dancing with a fenix 8 will look & feel ridiculous."
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? ->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. Made in the UK. Buy once, it’ll last a lifetime. Parts are cheap and readily available.
r/AskUK • Hoovers. What are you using and why? ->Henry does now come in a model similar to the shark
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Henry- heads etc are easy to replace if you need to. You can swap out the filter for odour neutralising. There’s a pet head. You could go for the direct animal model. George is a wet and dry hoover, and we have had one, but these days we have Henry and a Bessel carpet cleaner specifically for washing the carpets. Worth stating that most hoovers will fail to completely pull hairs up and so it’s useful to also have a rubber brush, or a window squidgee. You will be supposed at how much hair those things pull up
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Henry is the GOAT but then he goes and does this every 10mins. All together now- "fucks sake Henry!" https://preview.redd.it/f2j14dzkrs1g1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fe68236cbb63a1a4df86386187db96797002ef9
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Henry. No more needs to be said.
r/DIYUK • Good vacuum for DIY dust ->Henry. The most workiest mcworkface of them all. Ubiquitous in homes to offices to building sites but never at the tip
r/AskUK • What is the best hoover brand that you have had/experienced? ->My Henry has been battered and ridden like a car by my kid - dropped down the stairs more times then I can count - stuck on door frames and I just tug him around - that guy is indestructible and cleans everything.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->I had this exact discussion with my wife, she wanted a shark I wanted a Henry we got a shark, we're currently on our second shark and the henry I use at work which is frequently tossed into the back of a work van and has to hoover up all sorts of nefarious unmentionables is chugging along into it's 5th year, it's gonna need some therapy though... I think the Henry I used at my previous job is still working as well, absolute cockeoaches, I admit they are large and clumsy and not ideal for smaller homes though
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->The difficulty with Henry's is getting him up and down stairs. Can be lethal if he comes flying down from the top. If you only have one floor or a second vac to do stairs I'd go for Henry.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->My point was the Henry falls down the stairs a bit too well, and is a heavy old lump.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
