As a custodian who has used well over 15 of these in varying departments, I can confirm these things hold up.

I definitely wish the suction was a bit better on the 200 at times, but it does the job 99% of the time. I believe there's a model up that has a high/low function with stronger suction on high than the 200 if I remember correctly.

Someone mentioned worrying about buying bags, well I confirm these are used pretty widely and janitorial companies sell these bags in a generic brand.

Extremely easy to take apart and repair. Self containing cord is a cord saver and time saver for sure, can't stress that enough.

For anybody who doesn't want to buy bags, you can also buy a reusable fabric bag that can go into the washing machine.

I used to work on offshore wind turbines. The gearboxes in those things were the size of a small car. If the gasket in the bottom needed replacing you didn't have to drain all the oil out. You'd get a Henry Hoover and put it through the gasket on top, this would hold all the oil at the right pressure so that none would fall out the bottom when you change that gasket. Brilliant little machines

I bet both companies totally love the fact that these things are known as Henry Hoovers!

I use one at work without the self containing cord, and Henry's "hair" now looks like dreadlocks. Self containing cord > dreadlocks
