Henry Hetty Review

The Henry Hetty HET160-11 is a powerful and quiet cylinder vacuum cleaner with a large 6 litre dust bag capacity. It's essentially a smaller, lighter version of the classic Henry vacuum cleaner. The Hetty vacuum cleaner is suitable for common household surfaces including hard floors, rugs, carpets and upholstery such as sofa cushions and car seats.
