Amusing...

[exkay]

Just watched the GP from Sunday as i did`nt get to watch it live, and thought it was quite amusing that there in one of the garages in amongst all the zillions of pounds of technology was "Henry the hoover" ready and waiting to do his bit of clearing up ! Seemed funny that they would choose a 25 quid hoover from ...still, a good advert for the product i guess, did anyone else notice it ??

[Jammiedodger]

I actually found out the other day that Hnery Hoovers cost over £100! And are supposedly very good at vacuuming...I just thought they were a novelty?!

[LordGrover]

Hmmm. Motorsport?

Henrys are by far the best suck-per-buck of any vacuum. I can't believe anyone would buy the POS that is Dyson. Henrys are where it's at.

[The Moose]

They are bloody good vacuums.

My parents had them for years...until my mum decided she would vacuum up burning embers from the fire (you know, when it spits them outs) and set fire to him!!

Mum then went for something 'fashionable'. How the fk can you have a fashionable hoover?!?!

Cheers

What happened to Nilfisk vacuum cleaners?

Seems i`m behind the times...i paid 25 quid for mine in Bromley market, and that was new,thought they were still around that money

Are you sure it was a genuine one?

If you go into a trade shop for builders, often it's a Henry in there for sale..

We used to have Karcher vacuum cleaners for sucking the gravel out of the floors. They were good and had about double the capacity of a Henry hoover.

A Dyson would be utterly useless.

Wonering if there british ? at least we can be proud of that i spose !!

[LordGrover]

Yep. Just down the road in Somerset - Click.

A company I used to work for bought these Henrys en masse, took them apart to use bits in the dust recovery systems of shot blasting machinery so they must be pretty good.

This is what we need on here - cutting edge F1 technology discussion

Nothing "novelty" about them. The damn things are bulletproof. They'll happily bounce around in the back of a van and carry on doing their job day in, day out.

We have been using one for hoovering gravel traps out of our cars for several years, shows no signs of giving up

it's threads like this that keep me coming back to pistonheads

Indeed, Hispania Racing power their cars with one!

I'm ashamed to admit this but Henry's are the best. We've tried a fair few of the leading brands in our self catering units/B&B and none come close.

Had to say it.

As you were.

[FourWheelDrift]

Allegedly a Hetty is a better blower.
