In the dry it has a hefty storage capacity of 15 litres and a wide range of attachments means it can switch effortlessly between different tasks. It really is a vacuum which can rise to meet just about every challenge you can think of. Love a Henry but want to go for one of the best cordless vacuums? The Henry HVB160 cordless vacuum cleaner is well worth a look. Our reviewer Sarah gave it 4.5 stars and thinks it's great for smaller homes as its battery life only lasts for 30 minutes. 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. Some people prefer the ability to wind the cable in and James allows you to do that. He also has a caddy in which he can nicely store away and attachments. A plugged cable means it is pretty easy to replace the mains cable. Up to 1 in 3 of us suffers from dust-related allergies, but Henry Allergy is here to help! Much more than any ordinary vacuum cleaner, Henry Allergy is equipped with an advanced, 3-stage, HEPA13 filtration system, scientifically proven to reduce exposure to House Dust Mite and Cat Allergen.

With so many vacuum cleaners making claims about filtration, it can be difficult to know which one will really keep your allergies at bay. That's where our tests come in.We were impressed by this cordless number after giving it a whirl for our Henry HBV160 review. As with his plug-in mates, our tester Sarah found this Henry was capable of cleaning carpets, hard flooring, car interiors, and the aftermath of DIY projects.While our fave corded Henry HRV160 was a bit of a pain to use on the stairs, Sarah found that the HVB160 was comparatively stress-free, with ease of use thanks to the 2.2 m hose which could reach every step with no trouble at all. It comes with that large 9L capacity dustbin, fantastic reach, and has multiple attachments included.

This Henry vac has a HEPA filter to trap common allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. The three-stage filtration system stops them from escaping from the machine, and it’s approved by the British Allergy Foundation. The HepaFlo bags also have a self-seal tab, keeping dust in when the machine’s emptied. The cleaner comes with a combination floor head — put brushes down for hard floors, and lift them for carpet — and includes a special hard floor tool as well.The ‘owner instructions’ were delightfully retro in design, with old school illustrations showing how to put the vacuum together. While the assembly process doesn’t really warrant explaining, it was worth a look to discover that there are two ways to connect the main nozzle pipes according to your height. Being fairly tall (5’10”), I opted for the connection that gave me an extra 50mm height at hand level. The hoses only give an extra metre or two in terms of extra reach. However, the cord winds out for up to 26 metres, which is the average length a Henry vacuum cleaner can stretch to. If you own a flat, the Henry will be able to clean the whole place without you having to unplug and move. Energy Efficiency The high suction levels really come into their own when using the nozzle attachments to get right into corners and crevices. The suction reaches far deeper than the nozzle alone. This let me dust into the depths of my radiators for the first time ever (very satisfying) and chase down cobwebs that were just out of reach. Having a HEPA filter is often used as marketing shorthand for claiming a vacuum cleaner is great for allergy sufferers. These filters have to be able to remove at least 99.8% of particles 0.3 microns in size or bigger. An additional versatility with the Henry range are the bags. You can use the same set of bags throughout the majority of their machines. The wet and dry, the pet hair, and the larger models all use a one-size-fits-all-capacities bag. It makes it easier to shop. Durability & Reliability​
