=== Why this Hoover over any other? ===
As a mum at home one of the most important things to have is a good hoover. I have tried a Dyson and it was fantastic for all of a month then just sucked up nothing. I cleaned it numerous times and had it apart on the floor and had it repaired numerous times, so I decided it was time to change it for something else.
I was recommended the Henry by a friend and when I saw the pink girl version - Hetty I just fell in love with her! The fact that it was pink sold it to me straight away! At £100 it was a bit cheaper than a new Dyson and some other hoovers on the market that i'd never even heard off. The man in Comet hadn't seen this one before but advised me that he had heard good things and the repairs on the Henry's were low. "Perfect! I'll have one."
=== What it comes with ===
When I brought it home I took it out of the box and saw it came with 4 parts to put on the end to use on different fabrics or hard to reach areas, like the pointy nozzle works wonders in the car, between seats and corners of the house that you just can't reach with anything else. Another attachment is the dusting nozzle, thats great to use around your skirting boards and door frames.
It also came with 3 hoover bags which I've just ran out since buying it in November. It was very easy to assemble with just putting a hoover bag in and clipping on the top, and worked wonders straight away. The floor nozzle can easily be switched to a carpet surface from a smooth floor and has a multi angle brush.
The hoover bags are accessible to buy and are reasonably priced at around £3.00 to £4.00 for 5. They are very easy to change and the proof of what you pick up is remarkable.
=== Maintenance ===
There is no cleaning involved in this hoover at all, compared to the Dyson. It's very low maintenance. You do need to change the hoover bag every once in a while when it's full. Just check this by feeling how full the bag is.
It's still going strongly, just like the first day I bought it.
=== Other Features ===
You can switch the hoover to a low noise level (perfect for sleeping babies), which doesn't effect the suction at all, or switch it to a high noise level. It's very easy to hoover the stairs as the cord is 10m long is very long and the steel tubes with hose reach 2.4m which is a good length. You can reach 12.4 meters without having to unplug the plug.
The lid clicks on securely with just two pushes on the clips that are on the side of the top. Children will need to be quite clever and strong to work out how to get into it.
It runs on wheels and is very lightweight to pull around the floor. My daughter loves watching it run around the place. I should say her not it as it even has a name and a face painted on!
