“Henry” is an example of good branding. Instead of calling it something generic like “Hoover 2343″, give it a name and a face, so customers can feel closer to it. Anthromorphise.

Henry the Hoover exists in the large (regular) size (at least in the UK), but now there’s a miniature version too. With the help of 2 AA batteries, Henry picks up the crumbs and dust from the desk and keyboard and leaves the place clean, just perfect for the next session of biscuit eating. And it does it all with a smiling face…

While current Henry owners would probably be the first to want a baby version, it’s cute enough to gain new fans all over the world (not to mention easier to transport).
