Hello, Henry!
I love Henry! My youngest kids laugh when they see Henry’s smile. My dog enjoys chasing Henry. Even my teenager finds Henry useful… on occasion. I actually think two of these occasions are fast approaching – Halloween and Christmas.
No person would be this much of a universal hit – I’m talking about the vacuum cleaner.
Our old Henry is a sturdy little guy with a permanently jolly expression, long cord, and incredible ability to suck up dirt, dust and debris after my husband endeavours a DIY project, or when we finally snap and decide to spring clean the whole place. For this time of the year though – with scary invasions of glitter-covered kids shedding disintegrating costumes and in-laws appearing with expectations of catalogue-level cleanliness – we need something more versatile, easy to manoeuvre, able to clean up spillages in a flash, and simple to store away when the job is done. So here comes a younger sibling of the old Henry – Henry Quick.
Henry Quick is a cordless, lightweight, easy to handle vacuum cleaner. When we put it to use, the suction power proved to be really good and the pod system (Henry arrived with six extra pods included) promises to help prevent dust spillage when emptying. Also, when asking around, I was told that this robust little fellow can store lots of waste before it needs emptying. The pods are made from recycled material and cost £12.99 for a pack of ten.
Henry also comes with optional scent pods, which are available in three flavours: vanilla, rose and passionfruit. Ours, vanilla, had a subtle aroma and was disliked by our dog. As for me, at £9.99 for ten, I reckon I might keep treating myself.
The package Henry came in showed a woman cleaning nonchalantly with one hand on her hip. She must clearly hit the gym a lot more than me, as I couldn’t quite emulate her relaxed approach, and found that I needed some occasional help from the other hand. Having said that, even my four-year-old can handle Henry, although it takes two hands and some supervision.
We’ve tried cleaning carpeted stairs and wooden floors, we’ve got rid of a lot of food spilled on the table and around the table, we’ve finally gotten the dust off our bookshelf, and we’ve even cleaned the old teddy bear with one paw. To achieve all this, we made our way through all of the different brushes; each was a perfect fit for the specific job, and changing them was easy with one click.
After an hour of being at work, our new Henry still had some life in it. Full recharging takes two and a half hours and is very easy to do.
Henry Quick comes with a wall mount, so only takes up vertical storage space. We found a nice little corner for it right next to the kitchen – giving us easy access to the messiest place in the house! Although the season of big parties is yet to arrive, we’ve been using it for quick sweeps daily now. And I have to say our busy family home looks much cleaner. Still not up to the standards of my in-laws of course, but Henry probably wouldn’t be able to help us there.

I love my corded Hentry, and didn’t know there was a cordless version! A very informative review, that has helped me make up my mind to get one, and I’ll certainly try the passionfruit scented pods.
I hadn’t seen this model before. It looks excellent. Thanks for the review.
I didn’t realise Henry was now cordless. This looks like a great appliance.

My mum loves her corded Henry. Hope the cordless is as good.
A fun, quirky design on a model that could make my life so much easier. Due to Fibromyalgia and poor mobility.I can no longer use the regular corded vacs as they’re too hard to manoeuvre. A cordless Henry would be a dream come true!
I love the Henry Hoover brand, I used to have a corded one. A cordless one sounds even better though! A great review
