If you are after a new vacuum cleaner for less than £100 (online or at Homebase on discount days)look no further than the Henry Hoover. We actually purchased the Hetti, as she is pink with a lovely smile (and my wife preferred it to Henry). It is exactly the same model. Many people write reviews on products they have just bought. This is ok if you want to know what they think about their immediate purchase. I tend to wait until the item is at least three years old. By then it has been well tried and tested and normally past it's original warranty length. Our Hetti, is now over three years old. It came with a two year warranty. I must say that it works as well today as it did when we purchased it. We must have gone through at least twenty vacuum cleaners since we were married. The best before this one was the Miele (lowest price version at the time). It was just as good, for the two years of it's warranty. Then when it got merely into year three the motor packed up. Not very good for German technology I say? We have tried a few bagless cleaners but found them awkward, dirty, not long lasting and expensive to run. Overall a complete waste of money. The Hetti on the otherhand, has enormous bags that last ages before they fill up. The inside of the cleaner never gets dirty if bags are changed when needed. It has a long lead which reaches every room downstairs from one socket in our hallway, and right up the stairs. This pocket rocket is powerful enough on the 600w lower speed, therefore making it much cheaper than any other cleaner we have had. There is a turbo button to double the wattage to 1200w, but we have never needed to use it. The bags come in boxes of ten that lasts ages. You can buy the genuine ones for not much more than a fiver for a box of ten online. All in all, this must be the best vacuum cleaner on the market in the UK for less than £100. Why pay more for a Dyson? Parts can be bought online cheaply if ever necessary.
