Having gone through 4 different vacuums over the last 10 years including 2 Dyson's that packed up.
So far the Hetty has been the most reliable I've owned to date, no suction problems and can be used without bags.
Got a Hetty instead of Henry as she was cheaper due to damaged packaging.
She is a bit bulky but has a very solid feel, has already fallen down a flight of stair with no damage whatsoever which can't be said abotu other brands that I've owned.
The cord is more than long enough (at 10 metres) to start hovering upstairs if you plug into a socket on your landing, work your way downstairs and carry on for most of the house before having to unplug it! Numatic claim the cleaning range is 31.8m and I'd say that's pretty accurate! The hose is 2.4 metres long. It has a pretty powerful 1200w motor. It's not hugely noisy either. It holds a fair bit of muck too between empties with a 9-litre capacity. And comes with the manufacturer's 2-year warranty.
A good first review. Didn't know Henry had a girlfriend..

My dyson is on its last legs, may get one of these, or a henry next time.

My parents have a Henry and I love him! You could put more information in the review about how easy she is to use as well as price and availability. Lissy
