I hope im not to late to add my 2 cents.........?
Henry vacuum cleaners are what we started out with, however they do not take much abuse!
By that i mean with daily use we have to replace pipes frequently due to pulling the machine around with the pipe and they constantly split!
Next..... The actually head does not seem to last very long and they tend to lock and wear out quick!
We recently bought a sebo bs36 and WOW what a great machine for picking up hair (human or pet) and nothing has worn out yet in the 4 months we have had it for.
The only down fall to the Sebo is the pipe that pulls out from the machine......
When vacuuming anything a few feet away from the machine, using the pipe, the Sebo will fall onto you handle first, normally on your back, leg or hip which gives you a good bruise or dead leg
We now have a mountain of henrys and 2 sebos for our work and basically use whatever machine is suited to the job!
I (steven) like the Sebo for carpet cleaning and large areas.
Where as my partner Clair prefers the Henry (so she says) for domestic work, so she says!
Even though she has taken the Sebo to every job in the past few weeks..... lol
The moral of the reply is too have a machine or two for different work although as a start up a henry is great....... But consider getting a second, better or different machine later on!!!
Good luck....
