“Please don’t buy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ilovemy2cats on 16/01/2024

If you have arthritis in both hands please please do not buy a henry - you will NEVER get poles or brushes apart ,the worst hoover I have ever had . My trusted Dyson broke how I wish I’d had it fixed or bought a new one. Can’t even push the brush over the carpet.

“THE WORST HOOVER EVER”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Zayden136 on 15/03/2019

I CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW BAD THIS HOOVER IS! IT'S VERY HEAVY AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE AROUND. THE WIRE CONSTANTLY GETS TRAPPED IN BETWEEN THE WHEELS SO ITS TAKES MORE TIME TO SORT THE HOOVER OUT AND MOVE IT WHERE YOU WANT IT THAT ACTUALLY HOOVERING. THE HOOVER ITSELF GETS TRAPPED ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE AS THE WHEEL MOVEMENT IS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY. OVER ALL IT IS A DEVICE THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE AND SIMPLE PROCEDURES TAKE MUCH LONGER THAT THEY SHOULD.

“Powerful and long lasting ”

★★★★★

written by MonicaLittle325 on 03/01/2018

I find the hose perfect length. I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and it’s so lightweight and easy to use because the end has wheels and a brush bar. I buy the numatic bags and the machine compacts on ll the dirt into them making it so clean to empty My carpets are so good after 6 years and three dogs they’re like new. I’ve had to replace the brush bar once in six years as the bristles wore down I have used this machine for the car and for the patio. Excellent

“Worst hoover to buy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by yamXS650 on 02/01/2018

I can't think of any good points. The hose is too long it will knock ornament off shelves. The hose keeps coming out of the machine. The rigid hose is too long it flexes falls apart it is difficult to use. The head will not stay with the bristles out for carpet cleaning they go back in for flat surface setting. You will forever be closing the air valve on the rigid hose to keep maximum suction. The lead is cheap and stiff. The machine is difficult to pull along the floor.

“Waste Of Money”

★☆☆☆☆

written by alpacino27 on 03/10/2017

The Henry Hoover is one of the worst hoovers i used, first of all it does not pick up dirt from carpets that good, you can still see some dirt left so you then need to take of the bottom part off and use the hose to pick them up and then re attach the bottom to continue with the rest of the floor, it doesn't do well when it comes to corner's and sides as its impossible to pick up so you bend down or raise the hose up, pull the bottom off again to use the hose again and re attached to continue also it has a powerful suction (which is a bad thing) when cleaning carpets as it's hard to manoeuvre as the suction sticks to the carpet and a few times it has lifted my carpet damaging it when it comes to hard floor/laminate it feel like there's not enough suction compared with carpets then you have the stairs its like a dead weight you need to lift while doing the stairs, the Henry doesn't sit well on the stairs and the next thing you know its on it's back what a nightmare its especially hard for me as i suffer from back pain and the storage and space, it takes so much space i cannot leave it in a closet or cupboard as its to large and the hose it too long so i end up leaving it in the open in my bedroom which gets in the way it drives me crazy i feel like throwing it out the window! i would not recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying this.

“Henry 1983”

★★★★☆

written by Brewstero on 21/08/2016

I bought my Henry in 1983 - yes nineteen eighty THREE!! And he only stopped working yesterday 20th August 2016!! Even then, it wasn't dear old Henry who gave up but the mains cable that exited the back of it ie it must have had a broken wire inside it as it 'sparked' and then poor Henry died! Over the 33 years or I owned Henry I had moved flats multiple times but always fund the vacuum useful, powerful and quite easy to take the bag out of and take upstairs etc. NOt sure what improvements will have been made ot Henrys over 33 years or so but I am certainly going out to buy another one...RIP dear old Henry '83!!

“Fab little Hoover but too powerful sometimes!”

★★★★☆

written by 410Johnson on 08/12/2015

I love our little Henry. It's a great Hoover, excellent suction, light, easy and simple to use. My only problem with the Henry is that the suction can be so good the stainless steel pipes keep falling apart! The head will suck to the floor and as I pull it instead the pipes come apart. It's really starting to annoy me now to be honest. I'm considering glueing them all together!

“it simply is NO good for carpets”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 29/10/2015

I have no idea why this is getting good reviews. It does not pick up on carpet, It will pick up grit, dust etc, but will NOT pick up fluff. This is because it does not have a revolving head...its that simple If you have hard floors only, then ideal , if you have carpets, then not

“Terrible unreliable junk”

★☆☆☆☆

written by MrCleaner on 15/10/2015

Straight out of the box very little suction but only 580watts so can't expect much, but such a woeful lack of any decent ability to pick up dirt. But rapidly looses what little suction it has unless dustbag is changed almost every time it's used, Cheap and nasty tools that don't stay together And then to top it off it died under 3 months old and it has only been used on a small relatively clean area I use a 15 year old dyson at home which is in A different league, with far superior build quality, huge suction and total reliability despite daily use. Have 6 of these Henry's and all utterly useless will be returning as all quite new as unfit for purpose

“SIMPLY THE BEST!!!”

★★★★★

written by on 02/06/2015

The happy face is just the start, this has better suction than a Dyson. Picks up hair easier than any other vacuum cleaner and leaves the room feeling clean. Definitely recommend a Henry, they're fantastic easy to use

“what has happened to Henry Hoover???”

★★★☆☆

written by gillybabes_98 on 24/05/2015

I have always been a massive fan of Henry, but lately I just don't know what has happened to him:((( i bought myself another Henry hoover as my last hose split and a puppy I had chewed the wheels off so it was time to get me a new Henry. I got mine in a sale at my local Asda it was priced at £97 which for me was a bargain, off I popped home feeling very happy with myself and thanking God that I could get rid of the pap van hoover I had bought as a temp, I assembled my shiny new Henry and was looking forward to having my carpets gleaming, I switched on and started first of all hoovering my large rug in my living room and within the first ten seconds of turning him on and starting to hoover the tubes fell apart:( I put them back together few pushes and they fell apart again:((( what is going on here??? I was knackered stopping and starting constantly all due to the tubes falling apart, now don't get me wrong I have never known a hoover to have such a brilliant suction as a henry hoover, but what good is having great suction if the bloody tubes keep falling off:((( this needs to be fixed fast before I start losing my loyalty to Henry, after all there is only so much a female can take! would I recommend it yes for the suction absolutely not if you take hoover rage and let me tell you , you most definitely will as the tubes fall off every few seconds its not only annoying but hoovering takes a lot longer than it would normally so have a good think before you buy one!

“RUBBISH.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ErinNorwood on 19/04/2015

I have never, ever, had a worse experience using a hoover, really it is terrible. Impossible to hoover stairs, corners, or anywhere that isn't thin, flat carpet. Firstly let us discuss the weight of this, I'm quite sure you have to do regular weight training to be able to lift this up stairs. Don't forget seeing it toppling towards you as you try to hoover your stairs and it is just too weighty to remain at the top. It is also more uncooperative than a 2 year old, it chooses to go in the complete opposite direction you actually want to go in. You wanted to go into your kitchen? Nope, how about repeatedly smashing into your door frame despite you having pulled it (many times) in the exact direction you wanted to go. I would've liked to have known exactly how heavy and useless it is before we had bought it. In summary, if you want to only hoover the middle of your carpet, whilst leaving a good 2 inch gap of dust around your skirting board. If you do not care about hoovering under beds, in corners of walls, curtains, and other places you can reach with practically any other hoover. If you have a whole cupboard empty that will be able to accommodate it. Then i have found your ideal hoover. On a more positive note, you would not need to pay for a gym membership as simply trying to hoover your house becomes a full workout as you wrestle the pipe and lug it from to room.

“Sucker”

★★☆☆☆

written by Steanie on 24/03/2015

Great suction.. but upright users just remove picture frames from up the staircase, till you have had practice, as, with all the flexible, twisty gubbins, it gets a bit ungainly! Also I would recommend the wearing of safety shoes as the push fit tubing on mine falls to bits for fun: my back is knacking me from bending over awkwardly whilst attempting to hold all the bits together and my toes are bleeding from having frequently failed so to do. My heart rate is now returning to normal and my wife will hopefully forgive my shouting at her ( she chose it).

“Great little guy”

★★★★★

written by Angelnikki on 24/01/2015

I wasn't sure if to buy one or these or not as I'm used to a dyson, but I needn't have worried. The suction on this Henry 200-12 is so powerful. It's so easy to use and has 2 functions for low power and high power. When I first used it I could actually see the carpet lifting, that's how powerful this little guy is. Doing the stairs is a breeze and the cable goes all up the stairs with ease. He will pick up Pet hairs with no problems, something my other hovers have struggled with. He's a bit shy to follow you and sometimes needs coaxing round corners but he'll follow with some encouragement. Great Hoover, adds some fun to the cleaning and very well built. Don't hesitate, he's making a great addition to our family. I was worried about how powerful he would be as he's not a 1200 watt, but this doesn't make any difference at all, very powerful. He works very hard.

“great!”

★★★★★

written by Bailey1994 on 31/05/2014

I looked up lots of hoovers before deciding on Henry Hoover. My parents have an expensive Miele Cats & Dog which is excellent, so I wanted something on par with that. The Miele Hoover costs about €300 but I couldn't justify spending that! Henry Hoover cost me €129.99 in Currys. PROs: Long plug cable Strong suction - has boost button Picks up all dirt really Massive bag which needs to be emptied infrequently Hand-winding mechanism for plug which is less likely to break than the automatic button ones (other blogs complained about this but I think it makes it much sturdier & mote reliable) Sturdy, well built Comes with plenty of useful attachments Moves around on floor easily Comes with 4 Hoover bags in the box! Hoover bags are really cheap! €10 for 10 online & still cheap in shops CONs: Metal tubing is not retractable & so the length is fixed, which makes storage a little awkward Have to buy the rotating head separately (doesn't no her me though because suction is good anyway) Bit heavier than some other hoovers I love this Hoover. Delighted I got it. Other reviewers online have noted that their Henry Hoover has lasted over 10 years, which shows their durability & build quality. Definitely recommended!

“Good but smelly”

★★★☆☆

written by Romeroy on 25/05/2014

We have two vacuums. 1 Henry and 1 Hetty. They both pick up well and are very easy to operate. The only trouble with them both is, even though we replace the bags and filters and clean them thoroughly, they have started to leave a terrible odour around the house. We have tried everything but they still smell when being used. Will have to look elsewhere for a new vacuum cleaner now.

“Simple and Good”

★★★★☆

written by BrentReilys on 03/09/2013

This is just a simple vacuum cleaner that does exactly what it is supposed to do, sucks the dust and is quite powerful, a bit noisy but apart from that it's good, the bag is easily changeable and using around the house, under the table or around the chairs is very easy.

“my henry hoover stopped working suddenly.it is dead...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ankita1978 on 19/08/2013

my henry hoover stopped working suddenly.it is dead and it is only 1 year 5 months back I purchased... and worst part is if you bought a henry hoover be ready for a non cooperative customer care if god forbid it goes wrong. They will not entertain manufacturer warranty putting all responsibility on dealer( which in my case is not taking responsibility after a year although it says 2 year warranty)

“Great vacuum cleaner”

★★★★☆

written by MelittaCook120 on 20/06/2013

Henry is a good, simple hoover that does the job, just change the bag when needed and that's it, no fancy gadget, just plain and simple, but the real quality of this hoover it's its suction, it really brings in all the dust ans that's why I like it.

It could be a few things most common is the fuse try and change the fuse in the plug if still no joy worse case it is possible you have a faulty one where it has over heated and shut itself off if that's the case you may need a replacement motor replace which you can buy of there website or if its under warranty exchange for another or you could get a different vacuum cleaner as my opinion I think henry hoovers are a waste of money

Take it back to the shop you bought it from as its still under warranty. If online you will probably need to contact their customer services by phone or email.

Has anyone tried the new "Hairo Brush" with either Hetty or Henry, please? The Numatic website lists it as only available for Harry. Advice much appreciated! Thanks.
