Henry Hoover is the world's most recognisable and preferred vacuum cleaner.

Henry The Hoover is the world's most recognisable piece of janitorial equipment.

While he is often dubbed "The Henry Hoover" it's critical from a marketing perspective to to point out Hoover is in fact a trademark and isn't the actual name.

There are currently about 40k google searches for the term Henry The Hoover per thirty days, this is proof, even though Hoover do not have anything to do with with the Henry name, given how easily the two words fit together, it seems to have been forced onto him.

No one has any information about how many Henry reside the UK or how many homes actually own onebut more often than not you will discover one stashed away under the stairs or in a cleaning cupboard if you decide to have a nosey around. This draws focus to yet another big positive of the cleaner, Henry demands minimal "living space".

Some people traditionally just like uprights, this personal prefrence is difficult to argue against. The most commonly cited reasons for this is uprights are mobile and easy to manouver. Usually cleaners in the mould of Henry are clumbsy, heavy and generally just difficult to use - it will not take any effort to drag Henry around and we have already highlighted how well put together and effective his wheels are so this point is really a non-issue!

A smiling red face makes this cleaner memorably yet the circular design does not do Henry any favours. It makes him appear weighted and heavy which is not the case thanks to the carefully weighted wheels placed beneath him.

Numatic, the innovators of Henry, could be understandably angered that, because of the rhyming name, "Hoover" have somehow managed to get themselves associated with this highly successful product. However, Henry Hoover's success will no doubt ease this pain - as he has been a best seller since the '80s and, unlike almost any other product, if you search online you will be pressed to find even one negative review.

The usual add ons, accessories and bits and pieces you would expect to get with a vacuum are all included. There is a huge selection of nozzles suitable for most locations and surfaces (from soft curtains to filthy tiled industrial floors). A hi/lo switch in an easy to reach location on the handle also allows you to go easy on the especially delicate surfaces that you need to clean.

The price of the Henry varies hugely depending where you look, you can find shops online selling them for as low as £99 delivered next day or £70 delivered next day if you are happy to opt for a used model (although these still come with the usual guarantee if you use a reputable website such as Amazon).

We are in the process of sourcing a batch of Henry's that we will be able to supply to you for considerably less than any other retail/website, however, this looks to be several months away. For the moment we would suggest you have a look at Amazon where new and used options are available.

Beware of "clicking through" on an Amazon affiliate banner on a third party website, there is no need to do this, just type the amazon URL in your browser, visit their site and pick up a Hoover. Keep checking back here for when we are able to supply as we hope to bring you the spares/bags and parts as well as the actual unit at a cost much lower than you have seen anywhere else online.

There are many information sites dedicated to Henry but more trying to sell him. It wont be difficult for you to find more information.
