Hetty Hoover Parts, are they the same as Henry Parts?

Are Hetty Hoover Parts The Same As Henry Parts?

Yes — almost all Hetty Hoover parts are exactly the same as the equivalent Henry Hoover parts.

Despite the different colour and eyelashes, Hetty is mechanically almost identical to Henry.

In fact, this is one of the questions we get asked most often.

Hetty Hoover bags, filters, hoses, motors and accessories are generally interchangeable with Henry models of the same size and generation.

With her pink body, long eyelashes and smiling face, it is easy to assume Hetty is a completely different machine — but underneath, she is essentially a Henry Hoover in different colours.

Hetty is now also available in yellow, but the yellow Hetty is simply a colour variation and has no mechanical differences from the pink version.
