ive had henry for over 8yrs and he's hoovered alot and i mean alot of customers cars plus my own, numatic that make the henrys are the best in the valeting and detailing industry, it will last you much much longer than a dyson trust me, dysons are good for house work but cant handle the stress you put them under when doing car interiors.

Dan is right...

I have a George and a Henry is going to be my next investment... I also have a Dyson that I bought a couple of years back for home... George sometimes gets brought inside to do James Dyson's dirty work.... nuff said

a lot of people have their preferences... but it works out like this..

Dyson - £200ish... plus you need to buy a 'car kit' for the cars... doesn't do a triffic job
Henry - £85.. comes with all the accessories you need as the suction is strong enough... does a triffic job

for the price you'd be silly not to... or be silly to opt for the Dyson
