Henry HVR 200-11 Bagged Cylinder Vacuum, 9 Litres, Red, Black/Red

Product Information

There is also a parking bracket on the side of Henry which can be slotted into place when pausing your vacuuming. Famous for his red colour and smiling face, the Henry Hoover has been a mainstay in UK households and workplaces ever since it first arrived back in 1981, nearly 40 years ago.

Even at 6 litres the Henry 160 offers more than five times the capacity of many bagless vacuums, but at 9 litres the Henry 200 model is in a different league. Sarah found that those 60 minutes of cleaning time were more than enough for dealing with all of the messes her home threw at her. The brush of choice if you want a powerful carpet cleaner, the AiroBrush picks up stubborn dust, dirt and pet hairs from carpet fibres. Another factor that allows James to be smaller is the cable tidy that can be found on the top of his head, which means you can manually wind the cable by hand. Whilst the traditional Henry comes in red, you can get Henry in a variety of colours including blue, green and yellow.Henry Hoover is a great all-rounder and can be used to clean both carpets and hard floors, and you can easily switch between the two thanks to Henry’s combi floor tool, where brushes are positioned down when cleaning hard floors and up when cleaning carpets. With the same powerful motor as George and the same dry and wet bag capacity, other than his blue appearance the differences between George and Charles aren’t obvious.

Driven by an advanced, high-energy efficient motor, the Henry Eco delivers a 30% reduction in energy usage without dropping in any power. In terms of dust bags, the Henry Xtra has a large 9L capacity which means he shouldn’t need to be emptied very often.The latest Henry models do not come with the same setting so it’s no longer a case of Henry Hoover 1200w vs 620w,, there is just the one vacuum mode which operates at 620 watts with the 160-11 model and 580 watts with the 200-11 model. She has tested plenty of vacuums for Real Homes, including the Henry Allergy and the Henry Eco from this list.

Whilst there are better vacuums on the market than the standard Henry Hoover when it comes to pet hair, both Henry Pet and Harry are popular pet vacuums that help to remove stubborn pet hairs and remove lingering pet odours. With a thirty minute run time he’s not the longest-lasting cordless vacuum ever invented, but that should be long enough to clean an entire home, especially when you don’t need to worry about switching plug sockets. Great at carpet cleaning, washing hard floors, freshening up furniture and the car, the Henry Wash is great for both everyday wet cleaning as well as emergency cleans when there’s been a spill. In September 2014 the EU imposed a limit on vacuum cleaners limiting the wattage to 1600W, and by 2017 that limit went down even further to 900W.

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.

Some of the vacuum cleaners within the range are very similar, but others do have some key differences. Green in colour, Harry comes with an additional Hairo brush which is perfect for picking up pet hair from both floors and upholstery. There have been a number of iterations to Henry over the last decade in terms of motor power, meaning the Henry Hoover suction power and wattage is different depending on which model you have at your disposal. Both remain available for purchase from major UK retailers, so this Henry Hoover review will detail both the Henry HVR160 and Henry HVR200 models and how they compare to each other.

She is a big fan of Henry vacs, and thinks they make the perfect reliable and robust appliance for cleaning at home. In general, you tend to see the HVR200 model used by professional cleaners in the likes of offices, hotels and large retail spaces where the extra capacity comes in handy, and the HVR160 is usually the one used in households. Harry has a large bag capacity but many similarities to Henry, he’s just got some extra pet tools that makes him an option if you have furry friends in your home.
