Dyson or Henry ... For toy vacuums? The dyson seems better, but its taller, maybe too tall?
The Henry looks cute but gets some reviews to say it breaks easily.

Which is better?

Well as a huge Hetty fan I would have to vote Henry/Hetty however if I was chosing I would go for the one that is most similar to my proper hoover so that Thomas would feel more like he was copying me. If you have un upright go for the dyson and if you have a cylinder go for the Henry (although I still think Hetty is cuter ).

I agree with whatever is more like yours. I've got a cylinder dyson, so bought madam a hetty - £14.99 from play.com.

I got a Hetty for Amelia and we have a couple of problems. The tube gets twisted and crushed so that it splits and the hover attachment doesn't stay on very well and then it broke. Also the cable winding handle doesn't click on firmly so Amelia kept pulling it and has now lost it

we have the henry and hannah nevertouches it. I think the style of the dyson and think it would be easier for a child to play with. Hannah always plays with toy hoovers in toy stores and its always ones in the style of the dyson

We have a henry, and exactly the same problems as Lisa!! Id try the dyson xx

I love the Henry/Hetty hovers but due to the probs mentioned by the two Lisa's I would go with Dyson

As a Hetty owner I bought Oliver a Henry as he is obsessed with ours.

He does love it..but - and its a BIG BUT!! I would go for the Dyson (although I haven't actually seen the dyson tbh) Oliver's Henry, Like Lisa said, has many faults. The cable wind thing was constantly coming off so we had to super glue it back on, the tubes are really flimsy and prone to breaking (weve had to tape the bottom part together). Oliver is quite tall and the Henry is quite small for him so the flexy tubes have squashed/split.
Put it this way, the only part in one piece is the dustpan and brush that comes with it He still loves it, but he's at a stage where he loves to push things around and the Henry just isn't co-operating. So we got him a push along dog he call's Bob which is his new fave toy

Thanks ladies, well we have an upright dyson and from what you have all said..I'll get the dyson!

We have got an upright one for Aimee for Xmas... she loves trying to push our hoover so I hope it will be the same x

really glad you did this post, my MIL was going to buy Chloe a Hetty for Xmas but I think I'll ask her to get something else instead x

Daniel loves his dyson, even though he was given it second hand last year and it is now falling to bits. Think I will get him a new one for christmas.
