As if buying a Royal Blue carpet wasn't bad enough, why oh why did we choose a white kitten? 2 years old now and sheds about 3 catfuls of fur a week. Add to that, at home I am jokingly referred to as Pig-Pen because dust, dirt and fagash seem to follow me like a trail. So poor old Henry is coming out of his cupboard to do his thing.

I have a Bernie LOL good arent they i pick my Henry's hair up with Bernie, Henry being my dog Lil

Oooo errr Jim, lol

Hi Jim. I bought a Henry 2 weeks ago after recommendations on this site - got the Henry Hound that has a turbo brush for pet hair - it's great! No more doggie hair !! Stella

jim, i wouldnt be without my henry hes amazing !!!! xxLynnxx

If it's not too rude a question - do you think your Henry could 'out-suck' my little Dicky Dyson? This is a serious question please as I think I need to buy a new one - I had a Henry once and remember it was very good, however, I then bought 'Dicky Dyson' which I remember was MUCH better, however, I think he is getting 'past it' now and I need to rethink before I re-purchase. All (polite) opinions welcome. Dea x

Dea - I have never had a Dyson, but have been told on numerous occasions - and by people on here, that the new Dysons aren't that good - I know I've seen a lot of them at our local tip. My daughter-in-law is getting rid of hers and only had it 3 years as it keeps going wrong and she is getting a Henry. Stella

I don't understand this culture of change which seems to exist these days. I have had 2 Vacuum Cleaners. A second hand Hoover Junior I bought for £100 in 1994, and the Henry which replaced it a couple or 3 years ago. As long as they suck up dust and fluff they'll do for me. Lol

I think from what has been said - I might just ditch Dickie Dyson and go for another Henry instead?? - He was kinda cute !! Dea x

Well I can assure all you people about HENRY. They are brilliant vacuums. I have 2 at work and they suck up just about everything including childrens small toys,dust,dirt,mud in fact everything that gets in the way. I have 18 rooms and 2 long corridors to clean and I wouldn't be without my HENRY. Sue

LOL Jim I tried to put my daughter off a royal blue carpet. It looked wonderful for five minutes after vacuum and before two cats hurtled around sitting room !!!!! Sunny

No carpets here-too b hot!loads of cat fur and fag ash though! Old fashioned brush and mop do fine!

Jim! After reading your thread title, I am not amused. ***finds it hard keeping a straight face, then sniggers***

Is Henry still 'round' in shape ?? Not very easy for storing in minimal cupboard space - but have to say I am tempted lol McAnne - with 4 dark haired cats and beige carpet DOH !!!

Ok what is a Henry Hoover ? I have a Dyson never heard of Henry is it just a nickname for a Hoover. Germaine x

There's always one who lowers the tone! Glenys...Go and stand in the naughty corner and think about why you're there. Lol

Germaine, Henry, Dyson, Hoover, Electrolux are all brands of Vacuum Cleaner.

I have a George. he is the brother of Henry! As well as hoover, he cleans my carpets up lovely Linda.

I've got a Henry in my cupboard aswell, I think they are just as good (if not better) than a Dyson, and much cheaper, mine was only £90 in Homebase. Carolyn

I have the opposite problem - a cream carpet and a black cat. I have to wipe the carpet over with a damp sponge every week. I've also bought a rubber broom from Kleeneze, which is very good. AL
