I have worked in Dublin restaurants for 7 years (2012-2019). I have also worked in Dublin car washes for 2 years (2010-2012).
Anyone who has done intense manual work as a job in any company or large service industry would tell you that the equipment they use daily are a COMPLETELY different beast from the ones you use at home.

I am talking simple everyday things like napkins, cloths, cleaning products, bed sheets, mops, mop buckets, cling films, aluminium foils, staplers, vacuums, dish washers, stoves etc. It’s a completely different level of efficiency with these products!
That is because there is a HUGE difference in quality between everyday products that are manufactured for industrial use and those that are manufactured for domestic use. And boy are they expensive!

ToggleHOWEVER,
There is ONE cheap domestic product that rules them all!
A product that is actually meant for domestic use and is priced as such – YET I have seen the busiest restaurants and the filthiest car washes have this piece of domestic equipment in their arsenal consistently.
The Henry or the MyHenry Vacuum Cleaner.
(Though no one really calls it MyHenry to be honest, except the company itself).

Why Henry Hoovers are so Good.
1. Cheap with High-Performance Output
Henry vacuums are remarkably affordable compared to posh high-end brands like Dyson and Shark which can cost up to 500 euros or more.
While they boost fancy, unnecessary features and hefty price tags, Henry costs and average of 150 – 200 euros and manages to deliver exceptional performance without burning a hole in your pocket.
2. Industrial-Grade Performance
Despite their low cost, these vacuums are often seen in professional environments like schools, restaurants, hotels, workshops and car washes, which speaks volumes about their robustness.

2. Unmatched Suction Power
Henry vacuums are equipped with an incredibly strong motor that delivers superior suction power. That is why it’s really coveted in many hotels, restaurants and even some workshops across Ireland.
Unlike many sleek, modern vacuums that prioritise their design over functionality (*ahem Dyson*), Henry excels at picking up even the most stubborn dirt, debris, and ash particles.
3. 10m Extended Cable for Uninterrupted Cleaning
- Extra-Long Power Cord – One of Henry’s standout features is its extensive 10m cable length. This means you can move from room to room without constantly unplugging and relocating the vacuum. It’s a simple yet crucial feature that saves time and hassle, especially in larger spaces.
- Reliable Power Source – Unlike cordless models that require frequent recharging and often lose power mid-cleaning, Henry vacuums offer a consistent cleaning experience from start to finish.

4. Unpretentious Yet Effective Design
- Straightforward Functionality – Henry vacuums may not have the digital and fancy bells and whistles of modern, tech-savvy models, but their design is straightforward and focused on getting the job done. The simple, robust build ensures that they can tackle tough jobs without fuss.
- Ease of Use – The sturdy straight-forward design means fewer components that can break or malfunction, making it super-easy for granny to use.

5. Exceptional Durability
- Built to Last – I can attest to this as I have dropped mine down the stairs a couple times. The durability of Henry vacuums is legendary and can withstand years of regular use, even in harsh environments like commercial kitchens and workshops.
They are known to outlive many modern vacuums, making them a wise long-term investment.
6. Massive Storage Capacity (6-15L)
Large Dust Bag – Henry vacuums come with an impressive storage bin that can hold a significant amount of debris. Depending on the model, you can have anywhere from 6-10l while modern sleek vacuums can only handle 2l of dirt before emptying.
I have used mine for nearly 2 years now and still yet to change the current bag, and the suction is not clogged at all! This not only reduces maintenance but also cuts down on ongoing costs for replacement bags.
7. Playful and Recognisable Design
- Cheerful Aesthetic – While every other modern vacuum design is trying to look the same and blend in, Henry’s design screams ‘Why Blend in when you can CLEARLY stand out?’
Henry’s iconic design, complete with googly eyes and a smiling face, gives it a unique personality that sets it apart from the competition. Available in various colors, Henry vacuums add a playful touch to an otherwise mundane task.
- Brand Recognition – The friendly design has made Henry a household name, beloved by children and adults alike.
8. 2-Year Warranty
Henry vacuums come with a reliable 2-year warranty, providing peace of mind and underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality and durability.
