Is he spending too much time on his hobby?

I know he's plotting something, might be an insurance job, with his ridiculous habit of stretching the lead out, I suspect one day he'll push me down the stairs...

Constance1234 · 17/07/2019 20:06

I hate our Henry as he always gets stuck on no matter what small obstacle 😡

sadbones · 17/07/2019 20:08

Well Hetty makes me so angry when clearly there is enough space to go round the corner but she insists on getting herself stuck and then provides me with the resting smarmy cocky bitch face from hoover hell.

LordNibbler · 17/07/2019 20:15

I hate Henry. I saw lots of people on here a few years ago saying how much they loved theirs and so I got one. Bah.....what a crock of shite. It's so heavy, unwieldy and gets stuck or just plain falls over. I'd like to stab his stupid red face in.

Adamcgrathagain · 17/07/2019 20:17

Had to replace our Henry. It was the time he fell flat on his face just that one time too many and I thought fuck you Henry and bought a cordless vac instead.

sadbones · 17/07/2019 20:18

To be fair to her, Hetty does do a good job and I wouldn't swap her to a cordless as my main hoover.

Livedandlearned · 17/07/2019 20:21

Hetty is like a toddler. She refuses to go around corners without a fuss and is forever grabbing my clothes. Honestly I have a fight with her every time.

Livedandlearned · 17/07/2019 20:21

And yes to faceplanting whenever she feels the need.

mnahmnah · 17/07/2019 20:25

We dumped Henry after a brief fling, for Mr Dyson

CigarsofthePharoahs · 17/07/2019 20:27

The only time I used a Henry was to clean up after my son's party in our church hall.
Big, wide, empty space. He managed to topple over multiple times and took quite a dislike to the confetti that came out of the pinata.
In the end I concluded that he must have had a long and hard life as a church vacuum cleaner and I should cut him some slack.
Then the cord wind up thingy jammed and I kicked the silly sod in the place he ought to have nadgers but doesn't.
Only my old Dyson wound me up that much.

Al2O3 · 17/07/2019 20:28

Henry is a sucker.......

Thewheelsarefallingoff · 17/07/2019 20:29

He does face plant, get stuck on corners and bash me in the ankles, but I wouldn't change him. He's always smiling, no matter what's going onGrin

Holenewme · 17/07/2019 20:29

My Henry is a complete fucknut too. He has wheels but if I try and pull him at all he just topples. It will be a good day when I see him smiling blankly at me as I hurl him in the tip.

WatchingTheWheels85 · 17/07/2019 20:31

Worst purchase for me. I hate the red swine. I can't wait to replace him.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 17/07/2019 20:33

We've got a cordless Henry and he's fantastic! I think George is a the wet/dry one and I've no experience with the that model, but Henry is a happy little guy and I am very happy with him

DontCallMeShitley · 17/07/2019 20:36

George is green, wet and dry. He is hard work though.

FrenchBoule · 17/07/2019 20:40

@mnahmnah same here. Fuck you Henry, come back Dyson. The only hoover that I saw lifting the carpet as it goes.

LazyLemur · 17/07/2019 20:44

I hate Henry. I had to use one whilst working as a cleaner 20 years ago. Getting stuck and fucking tangled on everything and sucking badly all over the bastard place.

But I'll tell you what, the amount of time he accidentally hurtled violently down the stairs, he never broke.
So he has that, I guess.

Sagradafamiliar · 17/07/2019 20:47

I hate him as well. I don't know why he looks so fucking smug the basic bastard.

DucksAreTheBest · 17/07/2019 20:51

He went rogue

I have angry cried over Henry.

I’m suprised no one reported me, the amount of times I have shouted ‘stop smiling at me and move you piece of shit’.

I have a Shark now.

WednesdaySpinner · 17/07/2019 20:52

I have been forced to replace Henry due to his irrational fear of going round a corner or having to actually use his wheels for their intended purpose (you know, actually moving). We have a cordless dyson now but DP refuses to hear a bad word about Henry and won’t dispose of him. I still see him lording it up around the house every so often with his smug smile.

Cordless Henry is a dreamboat but your bog standard model (and that tart Hetty) can FOTTFSOFTFOSM
