Henry Xtra Bagged Cylinder Vacuum, 9 Litre, 620 Watt, Red

Product Information

It is also one of the biggest dust tank (nine litres) capacities available on a domestic vacuum cleaner and a breath of fresh air when the appliance world is pushing us to cordless stick models with tiny tanks. Harnessing a powerful airflow, the AiroBrush actively lifts stubborn dust, dirt and grime from the carpet fibres — perfect for pet owners. Instead, it uses airflow and a turbine to power the brush and while it sounds basic, it is very good at lifting hair and refreshing the pile.

If you or anyone in the family suffers from allergies, this is the brush that will help you remove as much dust and debris from your home. And, if you're already a Henry Stan, you will be pleased to see the extra floor heads to make it even easier to get every bit of dirt out of carpet and hard flooring, and safely locked in the mess-free HEPAFlo bag.This is where we test it on carpet, and also hard flooring against large and small particle spills – in this case, sugar and dried green lentils. There’s also a handy tool adapter, which makes it possible for accessories to be connected directly to the vacuum hose rather than on to the curved tube bend.

This worked much better on the luxury vinyl tile in my kitchen and bathroom, and the wooden flooring in my spare room. So, if you have decided a vacuum is for life and not just for Christmas (or until the next gimmick), Henry Xtra will be happy to take residence in your home for the long run.The benefit of this brush is that it beats dust from carpets and draws hair and lose fibres out of carpet pile, vastly improving the pickup performance of the vacuum on carpeted areas. The Henry Xtra has additional tools, slightly more cleaning reach, three litres more room for dust, and yet only weighs half a kilo more.

Of the vacuums I regularly use, the Miele C3 is definitely my favourite for power and cleaning capability. They pivot easily (most of them will turn 360°) so it is really easy to get under furniture, into corners and even reach on top of things like kitchen units. Another great feature of the Airo brush is that if it does become jammed on the edge of a rug then the brush will stop turning, where the electric brush on turbo models would sometimes cause damage as it was almost too powerful. When testing products at Real Homes we consider how that item would fulfil various user needs and also see how it stacks up against similar products.Also, if you are like me, you will find these generously sized plastic bags handy for storing things like pillows and other items once Henry is done with them. Henry Xtra and the Henry Hoover 200-11 model both have a 9 litre capacity and weigh 8kg, but the Henry Xtra is slightly more powerful. To the comprehensive accessory kit has been added our unique Airo power brush providing a superb level of carpet care which again will be well received where pets are an important part of the family. As she was in the process of a kitchen renovation, it has taken Lindsey a while to test this vacuum, but better late than never.

The Henry Xtra is supported by two castors and two fixed wheels, which aids maneuverability which is handy as he is a little on the heavy side. Just select the right brush head for the job, add as many or as few hose extensions as needed for your desired length, plug in and switch it on.The suction pipe is stainless steel so there's no risk of cracking or nreaking it as with some other materials. Carrying a highly respectable A energy rating, it's no surprise that this Numatic vacuum cleaner is a popular model in homes and workplaces. To make emptying quick, easy and mess-free, Henry Xtra's innovative self-seal tab locks all the dust in the bag!
