"You cannot choke a Henry" I was told. Think they were wrong!

My friend has a number of agency cleaning jobs and in all of them she uses a Henry vacuum cleaner. I said to her that in my new restaurant job I was picking up cocktail sticks and big stuff from the floor before vacuuming.

She said I didn't need to do that, it's impossible for anything to get stuck in Henry's tubes. Well, from under a table yesterday he sucked up a chip (more like a quarter of a large potato in it's skin...) and he really didn't work as well after that!

What have I done?!

Just undo it and shake it about. Maybe just down the tube. I think you took it too her coment to heart. We have a 'Henry' my DH inherited it from his Mum 16 years ago it might be 30 years old now and it won't die. I hate it as I prefer an upright but it won't die it's had pens and lego sucked up and still going strong

and socks - don't let a stray sock anywhere near a Henry.

Hay will do it every time!
