Henry HVR 160-11 Bagged Cylinder Vacuum, 620 W, 6 Litres, Red and Black

Product Information

Hair and fibre removal can be one of the toughest tasks for any vacuum cleaner, but a good one will suck up hairs and fibres in no time. Add to that all the usual benefits of the Henry range such as 9 litre capacity, a sturdy frame and reliable, long-lasting performance and you have the perfect addition for any pet lover’s home.

He first appeared way back in the 80s and despite all the new technologies we see remains one of the best-selling vacuums in the country. If you have a house with allergy sufferers, the Allergy version is better; for most homes, the standard Henry will do the job. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

Putting the Henry through my usual tests, I was generally impressed – although all of that power does mean that the floor head can be difficult to push across some surfaces, having a tendency to suck up lighter rugs.

Water causes a huge amount of trouble in the home and big spillages or leaks could lead to damage which has your wallet screaming for mercy.

The Henry HVR 1601-11 can hold two of its own tools and has a centre section to park the hoover's wand.

Since the Xtra relies on the same cyclone technology as most ‘normal’ vacuum cleaners now use, it doesn’t have the dual motors. Having reviewed all of the Numatic vacuum cleaners over the course of the last 6 years, James is highly experienced at helping you choose the right model for your specific needs. This requires some effort, but it’s one less thing that could break – and, unlike a spring system, it won’t become weaker over time.It doesn’t stray too far from previous models, but has been designed to meet vacuum cleaner power limits. Numerous changes have been made by Numatic to increase Henry’s efficiency, meaning despite the reduced wattage the Henry Hoover power is just as powerful – if not more powerful – than previous versions. Instead, it relies on good old-fashioned suction power to pull dirt out of carpets and off hard floors. That short wheelbase makes it possible to balance the Henry on certain deeper stairs but this is a sketchy activity that we’d advise against.
