About this deal

The battery takes 150 minutes to recharge, which again is up there with the best. You can buy an extra battery if you want to double up on cleaning time, but considering we never ran out of juice, we don’t believe it’s necessary for any home with four-five bedrooms or less. It’s also excellent at dealing with hard-to-reach places, such as the corner of ceilings, thanks to its long pole, light weight, and extension handle. Recycled Pods Henry Pods are climate positive and made from recycled material. We're carbon offsetting all of our pods globally, reducing our carbon impact.

The vacuum comes with 26 pods, which is sufficient to last roughly a year, and they’re made from 60% recycled material. Numatic also says it has put carbon offsetting measures in place to ensure its pods are climate-positive, reducing its carbon impact globally. However, the dirt-filled pods will go in your normal household waste and, ultimately, to landfill – so there is a moral conundrum of convenience versus clear eco-conscience to consider. Carbon offsetting is admirable, but not creating pollution in the first place is better.

How well does the Henry Quick deal with hard floors?

The suction head is small enough to fit into most spaces, although it only turns slightly so it’s not as good at reaching into tight corners as other cordless vacuum cleaners I’ve tested in the past.

It’s obvious when you turn on a vacuum cleaner that it will use a considerable amount of electricity. It’s even worse when it comes to vacuum cleaners manufactured before 2017 (before the EU’s intervention), which are likely to add a hefty amount to your monthly energy bills if you use them regularly. The sensible solution to keeping energy bills down in these times has to be switching to a cordless product that offers enough to meet your requirements. Accessories: You get a crevice tool and a small upholstery brush. These are great for general cleaning but you might want to look for a device with a small rotating brush head if you’ve got pets at home.

Pros

That means it’s more costly to run in the long run, and there’s more waste, but it does significantly reduce day-to-day maintenance on the device. It’s doubtful anyone will not know of the rising energy costs that are impacting the world, and in these times, it is a wise person who uses only what is necessary. One obvious way to help keep costs down is to use products powered by rechargeable batteries. Compared to mains-powered vacuum cleaners, rechargeable battery versions use far less energy, as the cost to charge a single battery is considerably lower than the constant energy consumed by a mains-powered vacuum. For those looking for a cordless vacuum cleaner that’s minimal fuss, this is one of the few devices with a traditional vacuum bag. The scent pod feature is unusual. Admittedly, it isn’t absolutely necessary, but it does add a welcome touch of luxe to household chores. Pop a scent pod (scent-infused disk) under the rubber cover on the top of the motor unit, and the air from the motor will push through the pod, emitting fragrance into the room you’re cleaning. The pods are available in vanilla, passionfruit and rose fragrances, and the one we tested (vanilla) was delicately scented and didn’t overpower. Pricing for replacement scent pods was unavailable at time of writing.

We found we could easily vacuum a four-bedroom home from top to bottom in a single charge, with power to spare (there are four power levels indicated by LEDs and we never bled out before we were done). Admittedly, this was achieved by using low power on the hard floors (wood and tile) and low-pile bedroom carpets, switching up to high power only for a couple of rugs and the odd dog-hair strewn sofa. Unlike its competitors, there’s no emptying the caddy after every clean, or cleaning out the filter every two weeks. Powerful Cleaning Pop in a pod for factory-fresh performance and powerful suction, time after time. The final feature we’ll discuss is the scent pod system, something we’ve not encountered with other vacuums. At the top of the cylinder is a flexible seal that lifts off; here, you can place a Polo-shaped scent pod, making the vacuuming task somewhat more fragrant.Fast charging: A full charge takes approximately 150 minutes, which is quite a lot less time than some competitors, which can require three or four hours. I adore the smooth springy action of this bin. Just press a button and the lid pops open. There is zero dust with this system because the entire bag – which is sealed with a one-way rubber gasket – simply falls out into the rubbish bin. I’d hazard a guess that it would take several single-room clean ups or one entire house-worth of vacuuming before the bag is full. Long battery life: With the suction on normal and the brush off, this device will run for approximately 70 minutes. Most cordless vacuum cleaners will only last for 30 minutes. However, in boosted mode with the brush on, it lasts for just 14 minutes, which is a bit less than some competitors. According to the manufacturers, you can get three weeks of use from each filter pod but this obviously depends on how big your home is, how dusty it gets and of course how often you vacuum. That’s the other thing - unlike some cordless vacuum cleaners, this one doesn’t stand up on its own at all so you’ll have to lie it flat on the floor or lean it against something with a hook if you want to set it down for a minute.
