Yep, I've had my Henry for years.

Don't know if the new lower wattage versions that are coming out to comply with EU regs willl be any good though.

Henry was never high enough wattage to be hit with the current rules. No complex technical parts/marketing gimmicks to reduce it's suction.
The 900w limit that might be happening in 2017 would hit them, good thing is that they are indestructible (as well as cheap), so might buy a spare 1200W one next year just in case.

She has asked for a cordless Dyson.......

....... I was thinking £5

Buy a wooden broomstick & a broom head and Bobs your uncle

Just checked and you can get a pack of 5 from Screwfix for less than a tenner and a head for £5.
