They've recently started selling their machines on QVC USA! There may have been some TV demos but I'm yet to see them, no doubt there will be some soon!

Two of the three major suppliers to the vac shop industry have taken on Henry. DESCO has the Allergy Model while Steel City does not. Both carry all the other models. We will be seeing them in more and more vac shops now that it's easy to order them along with repair parts, bags, belts, etc. from our normal suppliers. QVC does nothing but help vac shops. So many people see them demonstrated on TV but wait to see one "in person" before buying.

That was also about the same time that they were available at Sam’s. |

It is highly possible this is a "testing the water" scenario. If Henry floats, they might move more production units over here. If Henry sinks, you might see just this batch and no more. However, saying that, Henry is expanding their factory grounds already anyway to make the Henry Quick and maybe they might be able to ramp up production to make orders for US market.
USA has a TON of tub-style vacuums and to us here, we associate them with Shop-Vacs and stuff for cleaning up industrial waste. Not something for the house - not in the living room anyway. And that $600 price tag they are getting on HSN will completely obliterate them from the working environment. Will take some convincing to get these to shift in America. Most people will be like "I have a shop vac why would i need this?" I suspect just like in the UK, they will be highly popular in houses with children, so that will be your strong market leader. Maybe schools or daycares might grab one? Will be interesting to see how it goes, to me it seems kind of unusual to see a Henry vac not in England - it seems like that's a piece of Britain that belongs at home. |

Oh my gosh. There is no way they will survive that. Without even a power nozzle?? No way. Shop-Vac, Ridgid, and Craftsman vacuums sell machines for well under $100... |

Yup, you are right I did not even realize that. NONE have power nozzles. Straight wands only.

I just find electrified hoses and wands and hose handles and their electrical connections so prone to problems…and they are heavy and bulky. I find carpet cleaning is best done with an upright, cleaning of all other surfaces is best done with a separate canister. And you can get an excellent pair of vacs for under $1,000 (eg Henry or Miele or Sebo canister plus Hoover Windtunnel upright).
