Advantages: The story Disadvantages: So-so acting, strange accents
Sir Charles Baskerville dies on the moors, supposedly killed by the curse that has affected the Baskerville family for a couple of centuries, which is thought to be in the form of a giant dog - the hound of the title. When the new Baskerville, Sir Henry, inherits, his friends are eager that he does not fall foul to the curse, and so approach famous detective Sherlock Holmes to help them. Holmes agrees to let his assistant, Dr Watson, accompany Sir Henry to the Baskervilles ancestral home, claiming to be too busy himself. He does, however, receive letters from Dr Watson with a detailed summary of goings-on, both on the part of Sir Henry and his neighbours, the Stapletons. Can Dr Watson save Sir Henry from the curse? Or is it fate?

I had a Dyson - what more can I say? (read my other review)
After months of tolerating the Dyson I finally cut my losses and looked for a new vaccuum cleaner. I am so glad I did!!
My friend, who is a fanatical cleaner, recommended Numatic Henry and his pals. Numatic design for industry, so their machines are no nonsense, robust and easy to use. They come with a 2 year guarantee which says something for the manufacturer's confidence in their product.
HenryHound is one of the Henry range of cleaners which are designed to meet a variety of needs. He has an Odourtex filter which extracts doggy (and other) smells from the carpet as he cleans. This really works too.
His other main difference from the standard Henry is a turbo head (the brushes go round). You can buy a turbo head for a standard Henry, but the one that ...
