Henry vacuum cleaner shoppers 'sad' over new design

Henry the vacuum cleaner is an iconic staple in many households across the world.

The handy little cleaner, which has been around since the 1980s, makes household chores a little more joyful as the smiling face grins at you while you clean up. The design of the red and black appliance has always been familiar - until now.

According to the official Henry website, there are currently 15 different vacuum models available to buy. But most of their products have stuck to the design that we all know and love, until the release of their latest product.

A photo has been uploaded to Reddit showing people Henry's all-new look for the first time. The new model in question is called the 'Henry Quick' with the slogan: "Say goodbye to messy emptying..."

Unlike the original Henry model, the Henry Quick is cordless and allows for 'dust-free emptying'. Potentially solving the issue of 'storage' space, this new model is '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.
