Everyone has heard of the Henry Hoover – if you live in the UK it is impossible to not know what they are! The original design came to us in 1981 and the fact that they are so popular and still around shows that they are built to last! There are now loads of different models to choose from, so you can be sure to find one that is going to be right for your home! Over 7 million Henry Hoovers have been sold worldwide since they launched – so if that doesn’t tell you how popular the brand is then we don’t know what will.
Durable, powerful and cheaper than many other models on the market – we have compared the different models so that you can find a Henry Hoover (or a Harry, Hetty or James Hoover!) to suit you!
Only got 5 minutes
With over 7 million produced since it was launched in the 1980s, Henry Hoover continues to be Nuumatic’s most popular product, well-established in homes and offices across the country.
The Henry range has found a special place in customers hearts – where else do you find yourself starting to refer to your vacuum as ‘him’ or ‘her’?
They deliver power, longevity and reliability, and still manage to come in at a reasonable price with the range starting at around £120.
Not only that, but every single vacuum and accessory in the Henry range is manufactured here in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Henry range manufactured?
The entire Henry range is manufactured in the UK.

Can my Henry vacuum overheat?
Henry is fitted with a thermal cut out. If he has been running for an extended period of time, the overload will cut in and stop Henry from working until he has cooled down.
Can you purchase replacement parts for a Henry hoover?
Yes! It is really easy to purchase replacement parts for the Henry hoover range and they aren’t too expensive either so should anything go wrong with your Henry hoover it should be really easy to repair!
