Henry the Hoover undergoes radical makeover – but not everyone is impressed with his new look
HENRY the Hoover has a brand new look but some fans have been left less than impressed.
Shoppers have been left ‘sad’ at his transformation, calling his fresh new look a ‘monstrosity’.
The handy household helper has been around since the 80’s, so some might say he was due an spruce up.
Instantly recognisable by his red and white design and smiley face, he has become an iconic staple of many households.
But not anymore, there is a new and more slimline Henry in town, and he is causing quite a stir.
There are currently 15 different vacuum models available to buy according to the official Henry website.
But most have stuck to the popular design that we all know and love, until now.
A photo has been uploaded to reddit showing people Henry’s all-new look for the first time.

The new model is called the ‘Henry Quick’ with the slogan: “Say goodbye to messy emptying…”
The new version is cordless and allows for ‘dust-free emptying’.
And could also be a more convenient option for smaller households, due to being more ‘lightweight’ and ‘versatile’.
Reddit user AlbertSemple clearly wasn’t a fan of the new design, as they wrote: “Sad news about Henry today”.
They added: “A true national treasure.”
Another user added: “Look how they massacred my boy.”
A third said: “No but seriously what is this monstrosity?”
But others liked the new “slim-line” look.
One user said: “Good to see him adapting to the times, slim is in!”
Another added: “He’s been on that keto diet though. Good on him.”
The Henry Quick is currently on sale for the retail price of £299.99.
