However, Henry isn’t the only hoover in the range, in fact, there is a whole family of different hoovers!

To get things started let’s take a look at the man himself, Henry.

  • Energy Rating A

The first to be born, Henry is a sturdy vacuum that can be used for various cleaning jobs thanks to his whole range of attachments accessories. Weighing in at around 8kg’s he’s by no means the lightest or smallest hoover of the range, but whatever job you need him for he’s always full of power and performance.

Next up in the Henry Hoover range is Henry’s little sister Hetty. The only female of the family, Hetty has almost the identical performance of Henry but utilises eco-technology to decrease her overall emissions. Compared to the other Hoover’s in the range, Hetty is practically identical in every way to Henry, except from her appearance.

James

Key features include:

  • 620 Watt Motor
  • 8 Litre Capacity
  • 8 Kg Weight
  • Energy Rating A

Henry’s younger brother James might look almost identical to Henry, but James actually has a few useful changes that will make your life much easier. Unlike Henry, James has a cut-out head section which allows the wire to be wrapped around for safe storage. In addition to this, he also has a useful attachment tray which allows you to store all your attachments in one place. He might have the same internals as both Henry and Hetty, but this new design is aimed at making user’s lives easier when it comes to storing them.

Harry

  • 580 Watt Motor
  • 9 Litre Capacity
  • 9 Kg Weight
  • Energy Rating A

Moving on in the family, next up we have Harry. If you have any pets in your house, then Harry is going to be your new best friend. Specifically designed for coping with pet hairs and other pet-related messes, Harry comes with a unique collection of accessories including the Hairo brush which will get all those hairs out of your furniture.

In addition to the specialist vacuum head, he also comes with a unique micro fresh filter which helps stop those hairs from escaping and making your house smell. Compared to the original Henry, Harry is undoubtedly the specialist when it comes to dealing with pet hairs.

George

  • 1,200 Watt Motor
  • 15 Litre Dry Capacity
  • 9 Litre Wet Capacity
  • 9 Kg Weight

Another brother of Henry is George, the all in one multitasker that is capable of taking on even the hardest cleaning jobs. Not only can George pick up all sorts of dirt on dry floors, but he also performs really well on wet floors. No matter if you’ve had a leak or just fancy shampooing your carpets and restoring their former glory, George can handle it all.

Unlike the original Henry Hoover, George also has a supercharged 1,200-watt motor for extra suction power and a very large 15-litre dry capacity. He might be slightly bigger than Henry and weigh more, but its all for a good reason!

Charles

Key features include:

  • 1,200 Watt Motor
  • 15 Litre Dry Capacity
  • 9 Litre Wet Capacity
  • 8 Kg Weight
  • Energy Rating A

The last member of the Henry Hoover range is Charles, the younger brother of George, another all in one vacuum which some slight differences. On the outside, he looks almost identical to George with a cosmetic makeover. However, on the inside, the internals have been slightly changed which has resulted in a much lighter hoover.

In addition to weighing in slightly less than Charles, he also comes with fewer accessories which can often be a deal breaker for many. The good news is that with fewer accessories included, he is much cheaper than Charles.

So Which Is The Best?
