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

Product Information

It comes with that large 9L capacity dustbin, fantastic reach, and has multiple attachments included.

The Henry Hoover range is a popular option for people looking for a powerful cylinder vacuum without spending a fortune. However, the standard Henry only provides average carpet and pet hair performance, as it doesn’t come with a motorised brush bar. However, while it’s designed for the wet, this also excels in the dry. An impressive 15 litre storage capacity when dry makes it an ideal option for professional cleaners, but it is also light at only 7.1kgs and will be easy to get around the home.The Harry has won Which? Best Buy awards for basically being brilliant. It’s good enough at removing pet hair that they give it their stamp of approval. Overall, we think the Henry Xtra provides strong cleaning performance on all surfaces. We don’t think it’s the best cylinder vacuum for cleaning carpets, but the AiroBrush is better than the standard Henry for both carpets and pet hair. Like the standard Henry, we also think it also does a great job on all types of hard floors. The Henry Xtra HVX200-11 is powered by a 620W motor. This sounds low, especially compared to other vacuums with a similar price, but doesn’t negatively affect the suction power or cleaning performance of the machine. We also like that Numatic has included a hard floor brush for more delicate surfaces.

The AiroBrush is the stand-out feature of this vacuum cleaner though. Having a brush bar to agitate carpet fibres is a big advantage compared with vacuums that rely on suction alone, and means the Xtra can still do a great job despite the lower motor power.The Henry vacuum cleaner range covers a number of price points. The more expensive models, like the George, do more things than the models that don’t cost as much. Adversely, the cheapest Henry Vacuum is likely to be the original version. You would think that you paid less for less dustbin capacity (like what you get with the James, where you sacrifice dustbin space for storage) but this isn’t the case. What is a Class Rating?

Harry is a lot like his older brother Henry except he’s been design specifically for pet lovers. So, if you have a few four-legged friends running around this could be for you. Most of these machines have only one or two controls. An off/on switch and the cord winder. They may have a high/low setting (like the traditional Henry) and they may have a wet/dry setting (like the George). Finally, the Xtra can switch between hard floors and carpets as a special feature. Storage When you buy one of these machines you are buying a product that will stand the test of time. It won’t let you down. It will continue to run even when you can no longer do so. That’s a special thing in a brand. FAQ’s about the Henry Vacuum Range Since its original launch in the 1980s, the Henry vacuum range has been a staple of homes and offices. But as the range grows, which one is best for you? The storage is something you don’t realise you need from a vacuum cleaner.

The castors make manoeuvring the vacuum relatively easy, although we prefer vacuums with three or four castors. The bright red design of the Xtra needs no introduction.

He comes with a host of different accessories and features which means he can cope with just about any job going.

The Henry Xtra is still a great cylinder vacuum cleaner in its own right, but in our opinion if you’re choosing between the Xtra and Henry it’s only really worth the additional cost if you have pets that leave stubborn pet hair around the home. Henry vacuums are never going to be the most mobile or convenient. We found the Henry Xtra to be bulky and quite difficult to use around the home, mainly due to the heavy weight and circular design.
