I've got the Hetty and I really like it. It looks cute too...
I saw a reconditioned one for £80 . You might as well pay the extra £20 and get a guarantee.
You only have to look at the Which? tests on vacuums to see that those that are any good at all, come with a big price-tag.
Inexpensive ones really are a waste of money.

Bought a Henry when we moved in January, well pleased with it,
Special offer online, about £85
I have a Henry, best vacuum I have ever had. Imported it from England. New it as £89 and worth every penny.
I had a Dyson upright previously and I much prefer Hetty..

Dyson was too bulky and I found the pipe to be a bit crap.
daffy: that's exactly what Which? says. People like their Numatic machines but they are decidedly mediocre when tested.
I would buy your wife the vacuum that she Has requested. That is unless you do all the vacuuming.
As this is in Body and Soul and for the sake of your soul....give...wifey..£100 to treat herself and buy a hoover of your choosing for yourself....;-)

im not stingy but paying £120 for a henry or £340 for dyson is a bit extreme. but ive just looked on ebay and i see henry hoovers new for around £90-£100 so i might as well by one though i do not know the difference between henry, hetty or henriette etc i.e best suction power. that is probably what i meant to ask at start so sorry. ))
I think Hetty is just a pink version of Henry.
Aww, I really wanted a Hetty, but got a Dyson instead - and I bloody hate it!
Far too heavy and bulky and the pipe is terrible. It's got a flexible piece, but it still seems really rigid and makes hoovering the stairs really difficult. I much prefer the pull along hoovers.
Not really an answer to your question but my daughter had a Henry until I bought one of the GTECH Airram ones. She has bought one now. They aren't cheap (£200) but worth every penny!
Numatic is the name of the company isn't it ?

I have a Henry. It's ok, but has a tendency to roll over as you pull it instead of staying upright as it should.
I have a Henry. I think it was £120, but copes with 4 kids, 2 long-haired dogs and 3 cats-1 long-haired. Can't fault it.
Yes, OG, Numatic is the company that makes the Henry etc etc. It's very good marketing - you give it a name, a face, a pretty colour...in fact a bit of character. It's such a pity that as a vacuum cleaner, it sucks...or, rather, doesn't...very well. In fact, it's mediocre (Which? opinion).
Agree^^^^
Henry's are cumbersome and I've had a better suck from a
Never had a Henry, but I love my Meile
That's an image I didn't want, Zacs!
