Hi, so would Hetty be their sister? Regards Nick. Indeed she would. We have a George, he can wash the carpets as well. One set of motor brushes in thirty odd years. Rob |

912 forum posts 3 photos | We had an Henry when in UK, but left it there in 2005, fearing that it would not be possible to clean it well enough to satisfy bio-security checks at the border, when we moved our stuff here (NZ). He was much missed. IIRC, Henry cost us 90 quid. I saw one a few years later, in the local branch of a national chain of DIY stores; price $600, which translates to about 300 quid at today's rate. Possibly only(!) 250 quid then. How is such a rip-off possible? They're still available here, but I don't know the current inflated price. A few SEBO models are available here, at about twice the UK price, but at least they are the full-power jobs, not EU limp-wristed versions. I'll investigate importing a pattern motor for the Dyson. I expect freight will cost more than the motor, but it'll still be cheaper than Kiwi prices... |
