Review on NaceCare Henry Multi-Purpose Residential and Light Commercial Solution by Sam Simone

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More than just a pretty face.

Three years ago I made the decision to hire Henry to help me clean my house. The vacuum I had at the time was the Shark Lift-Away, but after a few years some parts started breaking off and while it cleaned very well I wasn't entirely happy with it. I had heard of Henry before and that they were one of the most popular vacuum cleaners in the UK and I wanted to try at least one of them. One day when I was looking on Amazon for a new vacuum to replace my Shark, I found Henry and it was adapted to US 120 volt requirements. I thought it was a bit too expensive but I decided to give it a try anyway because if I don't like it I can always return it. Three years later, Henry still helps me keep my house clean with no problem. It is by far the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. It's very durable (once it's fallen down a ladder and never been hit once), it has tremendous suction power which I think is about the same if not better than the Shop Vac. It's very quiet (I managed to vacuum while my grandmother was sleeping and didn't wake her). It has a huge HEPA dust bag, every time I change the bag I notice the dust barely seeping in through the bag, and there are three extras in the box. I can go months without changing bags and even when he's packed Henry still manages to suck great. It has a very long and strong 33 foot cord. I can clean most of the house without unplugging it and it stores inside with a manual cord wrap. The jet set is fantastic, its hose is 8ft which is more than average. It comes with three durable stainless steel nozzles, a heavy-duty combination floor nozzle, an adapter for attaching tools directly to the hose without using nozzles, a soft dusting brush, a hard-bristled upholstery nozzle that can be attached or removed, and a crevice tool. I also bought an extra Airo brush because I have a lot of carpet and it does a great job removing dirt and hair from the carpet. Best of all he has a very cute little face (you have the option to remove it but I really don't see why you would want that). One downside to the Henry I have to say is that it's heavy, weighing 22 pounds, but that's just Henry himself and you don't move the entire machine around too much like an upright vacuum. His bag tends to take on a musty smell after a while, but I've found that putting a teaspoon or more of coffee in the bag and letting it sit overnight eliminates the odor. All in all, I just love Henry and wouldn't trade him for anything. If you're reading this and thinking about hiring Henry to help keep your house clean, give it a try, I'm sure you won't regret it.
