I chose the My Henry after it earned a recommendation in Australia’s consumer mag, Choice. It was one of the less expensive high ranked models. It definitely works very well straight out of the box. The small rounded size makes it easy to manoeuvre and less likely to be damaging walls and furniture. It’s also quite light. However, after my initial purchase of the machine, I did need to purchase the special carpet attachment to make vacuuming my carpeted areas easier and more effective. This of course added to the total cost (and arguably this attachment should be included among the attachments that come with the basic model). My four star ratings pertain to this issue. I actually prefer the manual cord winder (as in my experience the automated ones tend to have a very limited shelf life and then you are left with no means of stowing the cord). The bags are an extra ongoing expense, but on balance are preferable as they do make disposal more straightforward than bag less models. I also like that this company is well established and only makes a limited range of models, so I can be reasonably confident that I’ll be able to get replacement parts well into the cleaner’s life. On its performance so far I’d def by this vacuum again! One extra advantage - somewhat superficial - is that my grand kids found the machine a real novelty, especially my grandson who had seen them in use in a hotel on a recent holiday in FIji!

With 2 x long hair girls in the house there is hair everywhere. I only have 1 complaint and that is how often I have to remove the hair from the brush of the power head lol. It picks up EVERYTHING! Can't believe I didn't get this sooner.

Picks up everything off the carpet in one go without having to go back over your tracks

Picks up all the pet hair first go. Doesn’t make small debris like rice fly around the room.

Awesome attachment to add to the already fantastic vacuum!!
