Verdict

Overall, the Numatic Henry Petcare HVR200 receives mixed reviews. Some users praise its durability, suction power, and quiet operation, while others find it heavy, not powerful enough, or difficult to use. The extra-long power cord and hose are frequently mentioned as convenient features, but some users report issues with scratches or damage upon delivery. Despite some criticisms, many users recommend the Henry for its filtration, repairability, and reliability, and appreciate its unique design and smiling face.

Verdict

The Numatic Henry Xtra HVX200 is a powerful vacuum cleaner that offers great suction power and is lightweight and easy to carry around. It has a retractable cord, making it more convenient than uprights, and its arrow brush provides fast spinning action for deep cleaning carpets. However, the cylinder form factor is clunky and the use of bags is environmentally unfriendly, creating high running costs over time. Additionally, the hose length is shorter than advertised.

Quality

Great vacuum if you don't have to duct tape it together.

Built like tank, so should be durable. Long power cord. Good placement of handle for carrying. Vacuum bags hold a ton, so no need to change frequently

Numatic Henry Xtra Vacuum Cleaner Review

as I've shown in a video linked to in the description, the bags claim to keep dust in, but the plastic covers still leak dust. Despite using hepa flow...

Negative

Suction

Not as powerful as the UK version

We were in need of a small vacuum for our RV and tow vehicle. We tried the tiny Dyson canister first. We wouldn't have bought it if the shop didn't have a 30 day return even if used policy. So then we thought we'd buy the Henry as I had one back in the UK, and the suction was very powerful

Product not quite as described...

For someone smaller and not as strong I think this would be a major issue. This vacuum is really quiet and does really suck pretty hard, at least on low. On the high setting it's a lot louder, but the suction is great. Even on high I think it's more quiet than my upright vacuum

Cleaning Performance

I also really love the long cord since it means i can drag it out into the driveway to clean up the cars without having to hunt around for an extension cord. And, although I do sometimes have issues with suction on enviro mode, turbo mode blows all the other vacuum cleaners I've ever used out of the water. Plus, Henry's cheerful smile is really charming, and I often find myself looking forward to cleaning up the house rather than dreading it.

Another ex-UK resident who couldn't bring the One True Vacuum

That one was so bad I had to "feed" bits and pieces of items to be picked up into the "mouth" of the vaccuum, and I had to constantly clean its filter even though the container wasn't full at all. After months of that, I trashed the product both physically and figuratively via an Amazon review, and I promptly bought my U.S. version of the British Numatic

Power

Best Vacuum Cleaners ?

I have recently bought this vacuum here in the US and it's not as powerful and sounds like it is struggling to start. This might be because the motor is designed for 230V/50Hz but I don't honestly know. The cost is high. If you take the exchange rate as of today the Henry in the UK would cost $153

Good little vacuum, has a few flaws.

First off, the suction power is GREAT. I have gone through several vacuums and I would have to say this has the best suction. Having said that, the vacuum is top heavy and tips easily as I try to pull it across the carpet. The need to hand wind the cord can be a bit of a pain, but it is nice to have it tucked away

Filtration

This is the vacuum for you.

I’ve repaired vacuums and robot vacuums for years. To say that I’m a vacuum enthusiast would be a massive understatement! If you care about filtration, durability, and repairability, Numatic vacuums (Henry) are the correct choice for you. On top of that, they’re made in the UK and have superb build quality. Sure, a shark might be cheaper, but while you’re going through 3-4 units in a span of 6-7 years, your Henry will still be performing as if it was new

Straight guy seeking cute vacuum for some clean fun

Get the HEPA bags to go with it. How they filter so well without clogging up is a mystery to me. You will not regret this purchase.

Ease Of Use

Henry is everything he is advertised to be!!!

Henry is a great little vacuum cleaner that is easy to use, very quiet and much, much better than any other vacuum cleaner that we have ever owned. The extra long power chord, coupled with the long hose and great attachments, mean we can drag Henry farther and reach farther without any problems or without continuously changing outlets. He is a little bit heavy--with a low center of gravity--so he does not tip over easily yet has great manuverability. The suction power, even in the energy saver setting, is phenomenal and would probably suck the fur right off of our cat if we were ever able to get it that close to her! LOL! Just watch your knuckles if you hold on to the handle while pulling out the chord or you can end up with sore knuckles

Exactly what I was looking for!

The whole unit is stored away quite easily and with less clutter because of this I found it easily carried by hand via the handle and the airo brush adapter is easy to clean, just cut the hairs with a scissors and pull out(the directions are only pictures). So far the vacuum works exactly as I was hoping, I've only had it less than a month so far but I'm looking forward to seeing how well it does throughout the year.

Design

Not as nice a British version, but still good

Who the heck is going to vacuum on low?! Have no idea why there is a switch for that, and why low setting is the default. Dumb design. But I'm still giving 4*s because of Henry's super cute smiling face =]
