....been around since early 80s.   Wow, impressive. 


 


I thought these were a throw-away trend, like cheap crank ice cream makers, or bread machines.

Thank you Turbo 500. Those cleaners I do remember.

Delaney, Are you talking abou the Henry being around since the 80's ? The thing about the Henry is that it does something which the owner of it can make good use of. The bread and ice cream makers are a different matter.

Yes Benny, I thought the whole named vacuum trend, aka Henry and his pals, was just something started in about 2000. Here in the U.S., Henry would have long since been buried in favor of some other vacuum trend, dug up and reincarnated, and then quickly buried again.... sadly.

I'm just floored with all the literature and adverts from the early 80s.
I didn't really take it seriously, but have since checked. Henry was conceived the same year Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married, so I'll remember that.

I'm even considering adding him, in one form or another, to my growing collection of canisters.

They're certainly handy vacuums to own, especially for messy jobs as a garage/DIY vac.

Below is a link to the Henry "Hound" powernozzle model, listed on ebay UK. I don't think these are in production anymore.

Even U.K. plumbers like Henry ? Somebody likes 'enry so much, they painted a water tank to look like him.

I don't know, maybe it's photo-shopped.
