  1. I’m choosing to believe these images are to scale and someone has a terrifyingly large Henry trundling about their house

  2. one is aimed at consumers, the other is more a commercial product.

    the Henry range uses bags, which adds one cost, but saves on filters and makes disposing of the waste easier

  3. I own a Henry, cheaply made now. My mum always used Henry’s as we were growing up. So I thought I would buy one last year when we moved into our new home. 
    I’ve already had to change the pipes once and the second set has already got a split up near the handle. 

    I also don’t like the way Henry throws himself on the ground while I’m walking around hoovering. Honestly every time I hoover the house I will turn around at least once and see him with his wheels up in the air because I tried to drag him over a rug with a slight raise

  4. I use a Hetty because if I’m doing housework I may as well look awesome doing it.

  5. I bought a Henry with my first ever work bonus something like 14 years ago. Less than 1 year ago I thought I’d replace him with a Vax cordless hoover and Henry was relegated to the shed. It took about 2 months for Henry to be brought out of retirement and put back into the field, and I bought him some upgrades like a spinny carpet brush thingy and a clip so I can hold more stuff on him. Henry FTW.

    Mad bastard loves crashing into doorframes though.

  6. Dyson has done well in the BBB sector. Bullshit Baffles Brains, has bamboozled with gimmicks. Plus Dyson is a bit of a tool.

  7. I heard the cleaners at Dyson UK headquarters use Henry’s lol

  8. I use Henry’s for my cleaning job and they are awful. No suction and they always tip over

  9. I got one as a wedding present and thought WTF? Anyways it’s been nothing but trouble, it’s been used mainly for domestic duties but also doing up three houses where it’s been on ‘builder duties’……so far in the 38 years I’ve had it I’ve had to change the main switch and the motor brushes and it’s gone through about 3 hose assemblies!!! Absolute rubbish…..s/

  10. mmm? my Dyson products have never required maintenance, let alone it being constant.

    maybe emptying the dust bin is “maintenance”.

    meanwhile the Henry promptly broke.

  11. Me and Henry just celebrated our 25 year anniversary together…never let me down once ♥️

  12. I have a Henry. He’s great, never let’s me down . But my back always hurts when I use him . I’ve altered him to my height and no change . So now my son uses Henry for me . Henry will probably outlive me and be handed down a couple of generations , like most Henrys do 🙂

  13. Hmm I didn’t know Henry’s are British.

    This should be flouted and sung with pride more.

  14. He just keeps smiling no matter what you ask him to suck.

  15. For a suggestion for someone that doesn’t want a Henry but still wants good performance. I absolutely love my Shark. Made vacuuming so much less of a chore.

  16. Swear you could hit Henry with a car and he’d just keep on chugging

  17. Hated the dyson. Shitty, overpriced garbage hoover that never worked. Bought a green henry, never looked back.

  18. I used to buy, service and repair my vacuum cleaners in a WONDERFUL family-owned independent store (now closed down after decades).

    When I went to buy a vacuum from him, he advised me against buying a Dyson (even though he would have made more profit from that). He said it was just hype.

    I had a number of different vacuums from him over the years, depending on my needs. I had an early Aqua vax (when it was rare to have the wash facility), a very good Miele for pet hairs at home, and several Henrys for my own business (a retail shop). I never bought a Dyson, and I think it’s extremely unlikely that I ever will.

  19. As an engineer I’d never buy a Dyson. Over engineered pieces of crap

  20. I have a Henry and yea it is solid, never let me down.

    It is a bit bulky but other than that it is fine.

  21. Henry didn’t tell us to vote Brexit and then fuck off to Singapore. Henry’s a good boy.

  22. Nobody has mentioned the 2 Hoover solution:

    1) Wickes £40 Wet & Dry for nasty stuff. Also has blow function.

    Not used that much so will last.

    2) Decent brand with Beaters, hoses and stuff for ‘indoors’.

    Building dust blocks ‘cyclone’ ones super quick!

  23. As a Design Student I practically worshipped Dyson. Now knowing what he is and what he has done I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.

    Grubby little man.

  24. Look at his little smile.

    Henry’s been through it. *And Henry wants more.*

  25. I got given 300 quid of John Lewis vouchers as a leaving present at work a few years ago. My girlfriend convinced me to buy a Dyson with rhem as my 15 year old (actual) Hoover vacuum cleaner was on the way out.

    Worst. Purchase. Ever. 

    Absolute waste of money – it’s shite, has broken twice and needed parts replacing and emptying the fucking thing without getting covered in dust is absolutely impossible. 

    Utter toss device. 

  26. Nothing sucks half as good as a Henry. He can suck the chrome off a towing hitch.

    I find these modular, rechargeable upright vacuums to be completely useless. I spend more time unclogging the thing than actually using them and even then I just move dirt from one area of the carpet to another rather than collecting it. They only work flawlessly for the first week in my opinion.

  27. never had a henry break. we’ve had the same one for like 20 years

  28. I’ve hovered up chunks of rock with a Henry. The mighty Dyson was defeated by a bottle cap

  29. Henry’s are amazing , they suck harder than Donald sucked bill.

  30. I have a Henry hoover that I bought maybe 15 years ago, it cost £100 then and they cost £110 now you say? I have abused it, it is my “for shit jobs” like hoovering out the ash from fire kinda jobby and I’ll be damned if the thing doesn’t just keep going. Also, fuck James Dyson he is a prick.

  31. Imagine paying £800 just to be outperformed by a smiling red fella.
