Henry Hoover fans - which one?

Just stayed in a holiday cottage and used one for the first time. Very impressed. It was a 160 which I believe is classed as the smallest one.
Not sure which would suit us best, so which would you recommend based on the following:-
3 double bedroom house. Carpets in bedrooms all other floors are hard.
Two dogs constantly shedding hair, also have a horse, so add horse hair, shavings, hay into the mix too.
Which HH did you opt for and why?
Also, is the difference between a Hetty and a a Henry just the colour?

I have a Hetty. She clearly did not choose to be a hoover and only performs her job under duress. She won't go round corners, she doesn't fit on a stair, she throws herself on her side if you dare change direction slightly, and refuses to wind her lead up properly. She's a bit of a dick really.

We have a Harry which is for pet hair, I really like it. Ten times better than the shitty Dyson we used to have, and so much lighter.

@Faraway20 that made me laugh. Clearly I will be avoiding Hetty!
Will look at Harry.

Bog standard red Henry. He's a lovely old boy. Doesn't care what you feed him, never complains, just sits around waiting for the next time.

I agree he's not keen on stairs but if I use my knee he manages, and yes any sudden movement does knock him sideways.

I think he's been fed a bit too much crap because he is rather heavy, but he's still my favourite hoover ever (and I've had a few)

I tried one and my back hurt so much, I have to have an upright. I use the Shark Liftaway, for some reason I stand straighter with the uprights Confused
