Henry Hoovers


Recommended Posts

Let's have a thread about Henry vacuum cleaners. I was wondering if you get them outside the UK?

I fucking love a Henry hoover.

I’m a Miele guy myself but I do love the looks of my mother’s and sister’s Dysons. The Dysons are cordless, bagless and light.

I have a Dyson but I hear the Henrys are well liked by professionals for their simplicity and reliability.

The guardian had an interesting interview with the inventor of Henry a few years ago:


Sucks to be him! How Henry the vacuum cleaner became an accidental design icon

Quite interesting backstory actully - invented it 40 years ago, still selling well now, design has barely changed, never needed to advertise

All the engineers where I work swear by the Henry Hoovers, there's a fleet of them in the maintenance office. Guy who makes them seems pretty chill too 

Dyson on the other hand is a massive dick and can go fuck himself with the largest hoover attachment currently available.

Dyson vaccuum cleaners are shit. 

All his products look ugly as fuck and are actually shit. 

From his vaccuums to his stupid fucking hand dryers.

Also, James Dyson is a an absolute piece of shit, turd of a human being.

 

Anybody who  buys his products is a low grade human.

 

I have strong opinions about Dyson.

I listened to his (Dyson) Desert Island Discs thingymajiggy. I'm pretty sure he picked a Beatles track and he said he had such a classical education and upperclass sheltered life, so far removed from normal people and pop culture that he had never heard of The Beatles before (which was so fucking weird that it stuck in my head) considering his age and all that. He was apparently in a train station and heard it on a transistor radio, or something like that. Fucking odd.

No doubt he's been fucked up the arsehole from an early age at boarding schoolboy by The Creature From The Black Lagoon.

A lot of the hate is because of James Dyson himself. But also their products are ridiculously expensive and aimed at people with more money than sense. It's a kind of flex I suppose.

Finally a fucking Henry thread! I don’t mean to brag, but I have two Henrys. One house Henry and the other is a shed Henry. My brother in law recently dumped his garage Henry. I was absolutely livid when I found out, I haven’t spoke to the prat since.

There's something quite Ceephax-ey about them

Absolutely agreed - Surprised there hasn't been any Henry Acid in any of his videos

They always look as if they know you're up to no good (but secretly want to take part too)

I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

Saw this thread in the morning and stumbled across this beauty at work a few hours later. Henry and Hetty are clearly at the very center of our cosmic consciousness. IMG_8474.thumb.jpeg.6f0b9d5b01175af63b8cd6733d000871.jpeg
