About this deal
Whilst you can vacuum without bags, it really isn’t a good idea as dust and debris will get sucked up into the filter and it will become clogged very quickly. The Henry Xtra HVX200 vacuum cleaner is a powerful, highly-rated model that gives our number-one choice a run for its money.
Storing it does take a fair bit of space since the Flo-Max hose is rather long — especially when connected to the stainless steel tube set which connects it all together. Henry Xtra and the Henry Hoover 200-11 model both have a 9 litre capacity and weigh 8kg, but the Henry Xtra is slightly more powerful. Over time if you do use the Henry without bags, you risk damaging the motor which could lead to reduced performance.Hard floor cleaning is much the same, with the added bonus that the vacuum will leave your floors touch dry after a thorough clean. Henry's great features make cleaning easy, including his super long-reach, "trouble free" rewind 10m cable, huge 9L capacity and handy, on-board tool storage.
You also have the option of sliding the brush off if you want to do your upholstery which is a little more delicate. Without doubt the stand-out Xtra is the unique Airobrush, which is great with pet hair and also helps to provide a pristine clean on soft surfaces like carpets. In addition Henry comes complete with an adaptor which can be used to attach any of the cleaning tools to the end of the hose.
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.
