The Lesser-Known Siblings of Henry the Hoover

The 1980s was a decade that brought us many things, including neon, shoulder pads, big perms – and Henry the Hoover. Instantly recognisable, this friendly-faced vacuum cleaner is nothing short of iconic, with millions of purchases worldwide from people drawn to its retro charm.  

However, talk of brothers and sisters has led many to ask – Did Henry the Hoover have siblings? The short answer is yes. Henry is just one of many models in the Henry the Hoover family. In our article, we introduce you to Henry’s lesser-known siblings, each with unique attributes – after all, it’s about time they got to share the limelight.  

What are the other hoovers in the Henry the Hoover range?

Hetty 

• 620 Watt Motor 
• 9 Litre Capacity 
• 8 Kg Weight 
• Energy Rating A 

Hetty is smaller than Henry, making her much easier to store but do not let her size fool you, as she still shares many identical features. Her eco-friendly technology means she emits lower emissions and is a much more sustainable choice of vacuum. The only female in the family, she has a distinctive pink design.  

James 

• 620 Watt Motor 
• 8 Litre Capacity 
• 8 Kg Weight 
• Energy Rating A 

James is a typical people-pleaser designed to make life a little easier. He is more lightweight than his other siblings and features a cut-out head, allowing the cable to be stored away securely. He even has a handy attachment tray for extra convenience.  

Harry 

• Power: 620 watts 
• Capacity: 9 litres 
• Cleaning range: 26.4m 
• Weight: 8kgs 

Boasting excellent capacity and attachments, Harry is never happier than when he is collecting pet hair. Green like his brother George, Harry is armed with a MicroFresh Filter and Hair-O Brush, making him highly effective at clearing pet hair away and leaving carpets and upholstery refreshed.  

Charles

• Power: 1,060 watts 
• Capacity Dry: 15 litres 
• Capacity Wet: 9 litres 
• Cleaning range: 26.8m 
• Weight: 11kgs 

Charles is a powerful vacuum that can turn its hand to most jobs, but it is on wet spills he really comes into his own. Everyone knows that water spills can cause havoc, though every part of this vacuum has been designed to be water-friendly, hence Charles’s blue colour. If you find yourself dealing with an unexpected spillage or leak, then this sibling will come swiftly to your aid.  

George 

• Power: 1,060 watts 
• Capacity Dry: 15 litres 
• Capacity Wet: 9 litres 
• Cleaning range: 26.8m 
• Weight: 11kgs 

Every family has a show-off, and if ever there was one in the Henry Hoover family, it must be George. To call George a vacuum cleaner is something of an understatement, as he is essentially a 4-in-1, tackling carpet cleaning, wet spills, dry dust and upholstery. There is little that fazes this green and friendly giant, whose bulky exterior is ideally suited for commercial premises.
