thefilmforgeukI’ve got a 20 year old Henry for downstairs and a shark for upstairs. The Henry is better by a mile
DoubleNyxI bought a refurb old style Henry off eBay for £50- thing goes like a jet engine!
jasovanoooive sucked half a bag of cement into the 30 year old henry in my garage (doesn't even have a bag in it) he gives zero fucks and is indestructible
Elster-I wouldn’t entertain the new Henry, it’s rubbish compared to an old Henry. We thought a new one was needed when we moved house and the old one was given away. Big mistake.
keswickcongressIf quiet is important Henry is the quietest. HVR 160/200.
If it's top heavy my answer is, you're using it wrong and probably PULLING the machine vs. the vacuum trailing you. Henry will tip if he's stuck on something and is pulled by the house. The poster above mentioning falling down the stairs - a Miele can't fall down the stairs? Be more careful...
Ok. Get a Henry, quieter, even the 160 is larger at 6L, similar tools with an AS0 kit and significantly more suction (waterlift).
ChocolatePrimary3428Don’t buy a Dyson. Heap of shit. Get yourself a Miele or a Henry with bags. Or a Shark if you want something cordless for quick jobs.
