Re: Henry vacuum cleaner?
Hi Zulu.You can't go wrong with a Henry. It has a long hose and is powerful, particularly the older ones before the EU stuck their conks in. The one with a retracting cable is useful. I have had a few different makes but still think Henry is the best.

Re: Henry vacuum cleaner?
YES YES YESI have the Hetty (cheaper version).
Fantastic
We always had upright vacs because that's what Mum had and they seemed better and easier to use.
Had expensive ones and cheaper makes.
Last time I was persuaded (by he who thinks he must be obeyed
) to get a Henry or Hetty.Workmen coming to my house in the past use a Henry.
Really pleased that I got Hetty
It moves around easily.
Great suction (I tend to use the crevice tool a lot).
Cable retracts manually .. just wind it with the handle.
It has a seriously big bag (and you can get reusable bags with a zip).
No silly bits to mess around with ... must have been designed by a woman
Do it

Why didn't you use bags, dongle? Any particular reason?
I'd have thought dust would clog up the works without a bag.

Re: Henry vacuum cleaner?
The only downside to a Henry is that it's very heavy to carry up stairs and to drag around. Other than that it's great. Some of the newer bag-less models are easier to use as they are lightweight and can be emptied easily without the fuss of bag fitting.
