I've been looking to get a new vacuum for around the house.  Mostly medium-pile (pyle?) carpet, probably 2000 sq ft.


Why do Henry vacs in the U.S. appear to cost about 2x what they cost in the U.K.?  I can order a Henry shipped from the U.K. for cheaper than I can get one here, but as far as I can tell it wouldn't run on our power system.  What is the difference between NaceCare and the Numatic Henrys?


How are the Airo-Brush heads on medium-length carpet?  Is it worth trying to track down a Henry Turbo with the powered brush head?  Is there any other way to put a powered brush head on a normal Henry / Henry Xtra?


I've heard they're coming out with a new Henry this year with a smaller motor but more suction.  Any idea what I should expect them to cost or if they'll even be available right away in the U.S.?


Lastly, for about the price of a new Henry in the U.S. (~$300) I can probably get a used FilterQueen Majestic or Kirby upright off of Craigslist.  Without starting a Henry vs Other war, would I be better off going that route, or even getting a mid-range Bissel or something like that off of Amazon?


Thanks!
