If this is something you require, then you’d be better off going for George, but if it’s something you don’t feel you need, then Charles is the man for you as he’s generally cheaper than George and lighter.

Henry and Hetty’s reliable, powerful, fuss-free cleaning has made them instantly recognised and universally trusted household icons. With such a range of Henry vacuums, it’s no surprise that there’s also a lot of choice when it comes to accessories and attachments. Some models have been out for numerous years, meaning many of these models' looks have been changed over time, but the parts, power and bag size have stayed the same. The first is a dual purpose hairo-brush which is fantastic for scrubbing off stubborn pet hairs and other stains, the second is a carbon filter designed to combat unpleasant smells. Around about the same time as this was happening (the mid-80’s) was when Henry vacuum cleaners were first making a rise.In the late 1980s, this model and some others were also manufactured with a cream-and-brown colour scheme. Simply replace the standard brush with an AiroBrush and you’ll have a more powerful carpet vacuum without needing to change the vacuum itself. It is a bulky vacuum cleaner and, again, it is corded so unless you have a driveway or a guaranteed parking space outside your home, the Henry Pet may not be the vacuum cleaner for you.

The female equivalent to Henry or also known as the female Henry Hoover, Hetty Hoover is another popular vacuum cleaner from the Henry family. Launched in 1994 and discontinued in 2007, Basil came in the standard Henry colours of red, blue, yellow and green, but was also available in lime and black and orange and black as a Halloween special edition in 2005. Includes mattress nozzle, crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle, dusting brush, turbo brush and combination floor nozzle. The three-stage, HEPA filtration system traps particles up to 800 times smaller in width than a human hair, meaning the Henry Allergy does a lot more in this regard than a normal vacuum cleaner, including others in the Henry range. The Harry Vacuum is the little green member of the Henry vacuum range that, through no fault of its own, has not quite earned the same level of fame as it’s older, red faced brother.So if you’re looking for a wet and dry vacuum vacuum that’s great at cleaning both surfaces, we really think George is your man. With a super long-reach 10m cable, huge 9L capacity and versatile toolkit, Henry Pet will become (almost) as important a part of the family as the pets he's cleaning up after. Add to that all the usual benefits of the Henry range such as 9 litre capacity, a sturdy frame and reliable, long-lasting performance and you have the perfect addition for any pet lover’s home. Whilst there are better vacuums on the market than the standard Henry Hoover when it comes to pet hair, both Henry Pet and Harry are popular pet vacuums that help to remove stubborn pet hairs and remove lingering pet odours.

Whilst the look and feel has remained pretty similar over the years, a number of tweaks have been made to improve his performance, ensuring that this vacuum continues to be the go to choice for many homes and workplaces.Hetty has a highly efficient motor, a 10 metre cable and rewind storage system, and comes with a host of useful accessories.

George comes in blue or black, Charles in blue, Hetty in pink… besides the traditional red/orange colour of the regular Henry, you have a veritable colour wheel of choice. They specialise in all sorts of jobs whether it’s clearing up troublesome pet hair or devouring spilled liquids.
