Henry HVR 160-11 Bagged Cylinder Vacuum, 620 W, 6 Litres, Red and Black

Very reliable as always. Does the job well, great suction and very usable accessories.

I was a bit nervous as normally I would be buying an upright cleaner with lots of colours and plastic attachments everywhere but I thought I would try something different and I am glad I did. I did also purchase the air glide attachments set. But it’s been great. Good cleaning power and attachments, value for money. Simple assembly and functionality. Iconic design. And I love the capacity of the bags and ease of changing and disposal

Excellent well made sturdy product powerful suction good selection of tools very long cable would definitely recommend

A little hoover with an immense suction. I have Henry upstairs, and it gets my bedrooms so clean. Great purchase and I'm happy.

Very good but heavy

I have been tired of buying cheap vacuums and them breaking or having no suction for a long time.I remember using Henrys years ago and always remembered them to be excellent. Simple, very effective, sturdy and do exactly what they are designed to do.I have used Dysons in the last few years and while I found them also very good, I could justify the hefty price tags.Going back to my earlier memories of using Henry, and based on recommendations by family members and friends I decided to go with a Henry... and what a difference.. Nearly sucked up my rugs, cat and everything else in my path.Yes some Dysons or whatever are a little more manoeuvrable, 'easier' so to speak. But they are also more prone to complications and faults, plus make a mess when trying to empty. Henry just does what it does, and does it very well.There's a reason they don't need to advertise, the quality and longevity/fixability speaks for itself.Note: I ummed and arred for a while, confused by the different models and not sure which to get, or which was more powerful or true to the original etc..I just went for the 160 6l eventually, and feared it would be a cheaper and presumably less effective version, but holy... No matter which version you get the results are mind-blowing. Works especially well in an old house with old hardwood floorboards, fireplace, rugs etc. (Adjusting the power using the vent is advised, and easily achieved, on rugs or more delicate things)I rarely leave reviews, but this is worth one, and the reason they do so well.

I've had a 9 Ltr two speed version years ago and it was great. The 6 Ltr version is smaller, one speed, and much easier to store plus it has slots to store four tools on the back. The main hose and head slots in there upright as well making it much easier to store than the old version. There is no loss of suction with the 6 Ltr, plus the bag is exactly the same size so holds the same capacity as the 9 Ltr.Suction-wise, it pulls the carpet up like my old two-speed one on high power. You can reduce the suction by twisting the air flow valve which I need to do on my newest carpet.What I like about all Henrys, including this one, is the power cord is really long and easily unwinds as I work. There is a winding handle to wind it all in again after vacuuming. It's a doddle!The large capacity bag takes ages to fill up, even with daily use. I'm into my third month of using it now after purchase and the bag still isn't full.The only downside of all Henrys is that there is no locking mechanism for the tools while in use. They are all push fit and can occasionally slip off in use. The flip side I suppose is that they are quicker to slip on and off.Highly recommended to newbies, Henrys pick up everything big and small!

To be honest I don't even know where to begin. I think the best place to start would be the reason behind Henry's adoption. Sadly Dysons decline was fairly sudden, he went from top dog suction master, vet of almost 15 years, to a worn out has been. The enthusiasm for dust and even oose just wasn't what it used to be. So I made the tough decision to look at a new dust enthusiast.My search started off with a passing thought of red, I know about the joy I had back a few years ago when I had the pleasure of getting my hands round the mid section of a larger Henry dust meister. He just breezed through the session without even a second thought. So I had a start line for my search I then stumbled Apon this neat little sucker all be it slightly above what I was wanting to initially spend. After all this wasn't going to be a one night stand, I was commited to the cause and decided that after reading numerous reviews that Henry was in fact the one for me.Thanks to amazon's prime service I wasnt subjected to a long wait and he arrived promptly the next day. I did struggle to contain my excitement as the dust and oose build up left by his predecessor was starting to get the better of me. Straight out of the rather small box I found what was to become a solid sturdy little suck piece. With multiple attachments and various shafts thrown in I new I wouldn't need to use the instructions, they were quickly tossed to the side. This certainly wasn't my first time and Henry made it so easy with that gracious yet playful little smile, he watched me assemble the parts with ease and haste. Not before long we got down to buisness as there was plenty of real estate to cover given the poor performance of Dyson and by God it was, I want to say magical. You get out what you put in with this sucker. I decided that no flow release would be needed when jumping into the carpets and stairs. I did start to work up quite the sweat as we got into it so I did have to lose my top after only 10 minutes, this did give a bit more freedom during the suction freestyle. After the session was done I assesed the results and was quite gobsmacked. I only wish Henry had came into my life sooner, his compact size and uncompromising attitude towards his work has been second to none. He sits in the corner motionless and always with that playful smile on his face until its ready to get down to buisness again. When relatives come round he breaks out the tie, god knows where he got this thing from, a nice touch I thought and totally unexpected.To sum it up I would highly recommend his services as he is great company and is a true pro.
