Please mourn my Henry Hoover with me because I am an idiot!

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I’ve just killed my Henry hoover in the worst possible way… I can’t own up to what’s happened to it in real life so I’ll own up to it here 😂

My boyfriend is staying over tonight and deciding that I didn’t want him to see how much of a slattern I am, I decided to clean up a bit.

Alls going well… just the hoovering to do. I thought I’d start with my room because I moult like nothing else so the floor needed a good going over. Took the main attachment off so it’s just the thin metal nozzle bit to do under the bed. Then clank. My hoover has sucked up my vibrator. An elongated bullet type one that’s just the perfect width to get permanently stuck and because it’s a hard plastic one there’s no give. I cannot get it out. I have tried everything, it’s stuck tight. There are probably worse places it could have got stuck but Jesus I don’t want to fork out for a new hoover! Well not for this reason anyway!

RIP Henry… I apologise that I couldn’t save you and you didn’t die a dignified death!

You won’t need a new Hoover just the attachment

just squirt some washing up liquid down it? Or lube? Will it not work free?

mateysmum · 22/04/2023 15:22

Can you warm up the metal tube gently so that it expands a bit?

Or alternately apply a bit of lube and switch on the vibrator. Either it will come loose or at least Henry will die happy!😁

Great minds think alike!

Stick a broom handle down the pipe.

That will smack it back out the end.

I think this counts as a sex crime.

Alas poor Henry.

RuthTopp · 22/04/2023 15:25

Push a broom handle up the tube !
Lol not a euphemism.

Namechangeforthis189 · 22/04/2023 15:26

I’ve tried everything. It’s gone right to the top where the metal bend is so I can’t poke something through and push it out the other way. I’ve tried warming the metal up with the hair dryer. I could try washing up liquid but I’d have to pour it down because it’s not In reaching distance. It’s not clanking or rattling or anything, it’s completely stuck tight!

This is why I hate cleaning! It’s just too unpredictable!

You can buy new hoses for Henry.

SleepHygieneHelp · 22/04/2023 15:33

You can buy attachments for Henry.

Though I'm struggling to picture exactly where it's stuck in poor Henry. Are you able to draw a diagram (and therefore prove you are a true mumsnetter as we apparently love a diagram 😂😂)

Exaspa · 22/04/2023 15:33

After I stopped laughing I also wanted to add you can get replacement hoses for the Henry clan. Great story though, says volumes about the suction 😂😂

getafringenotbotox · 22/04/2023 15:44

Best thread ever. My Henry has claimed my bullet.

Get yourself one of these. Amazeballs.

It depends what u value more the hoover or vibrator
you’d have to smash and sacrifice one to save the other

gamerchick · 22/04/2023 15:46

Just buy a new bit man. Henry's fine, he just needs a new nose.

Namechangeforthis189 · 22/04/2023 15:49

I did not know you could buy new noses for Henry! You learn something new everyday! I’ll have a look now 😁

Ahem I may have already ordered a replacement, uhhh, hoover blocker. Got to get your priorities right and all 😂

I dare you to take it to a repair shop.
. Then send your friend to collect!

tonyele · 22/04/2023 16:21

I'm an electrician, and my business repairs Henrys, rest assured that all spare parts are available either from your local electrical shop or on the MyHenry website. So he's not dead!!

I would urge you to contact Numatic, the company that make Henry in Somerset and tell them about this, they will love it, there are so many funny Henry anecdotes.

My favourite story, relayed to me by an A&E doctor was of a man who went in with a Henry er, attached, er.... The effect of the high vacuum pressure and slightly sharp edge of the nozzle was apparently called de-gloving 😂

Part Number 601101, 2M hose

Make sure you buy a genuine Numatic one, the cheaper generic ones are a slightly smaller diameter and prone to blocking.

Sex lube and a fish slice!

getafringenotbotox · 22/04/2023 16:37

A Henry hoover is a giveaway in bongo bingo, this would be an extra 🤣

Take him to A&E. They are experts at removing items from the wrong orifices when sex games go wrong.

Try talc as a lubricant.
