I bought the Henry Allergy for the post motor hepa filter. It encircles the entire motor and is sealed with a silicone rubber gasket. It makes a Henry a little more quiet operating too.
I have the Henry 200, mine is a two speed one that I got a couple years ago, they are great cleaners. The one thing that they are lacking is an electric power nozzle. For cleaning carpets, you really need an electric brush. Fortunately with the availability of battery powered nozzles this is easy to add but it's something that I think Numatic should consider providing, or at least provide an electric hose so you could add your own electric power nozzle.
They had a powernozzle take off socket on the early ones, which allowed you to plug in a powernozzle if you wanted. This disappeared around the early 2000s and unfortunately it hasn't made a return
They are a great machine and they are Built to last and I am speaking from experience a family has had one for 14 years and is still going strong and they are a uk favourite
My Henry has been passed down since the 1800’s throughout 4 generations and is still working! Also a pro tip is to buy a second Henry to clean the filters off the other one since they aren’t washable. You’re welcome
Very helpful reviews. Thank you very much. Before watching your videos, I was leaning toward a Miele, but now I think Henry / Hetty! We have a big dog, lots of kids coming and going with grass and leaves coming in, 2k sq ft mostly hardwood , some area/entrance rugs, and low berber carpet in the sunroom. Do you think the 200 or the 160 would suit us better? thank you!
Where I worked once had carpet tile and we maintained them with a Henry. They did a fine job without a roller brush on that type of flooring. I had to be careful when vacuuming the maternity ward, because sometimes I would find I was being followed by a toddler. That canister was like the Pied Piper.🎃
Can you use these cleaners WITHOUT the dust bag? are there any pitfalls in doing that? I know this will mess up the can but it can be cleaned regularly. the reason I am asking is because dust bags costs a lot in the UK and in the current situation one needs to cut corners where possible in terms of costs.
Hey Performance Reviews idk how this is important but I found a Hoover portable with all the attachments and a new pack of bags and it runs great for its age, also idk what to do with it since I already have one that’s in better condition, I just want to know what you think about it
@@PerformanceReviews which particular use cases? Primary use would be hardwood floors, two tile bathrooms, and 5-8 larger area rugs. Total house size is 2200sf. Seem to find lot of great feedback on the Henry and the Miele. Thanks for any thoughts!
@@Trusty-Rusty based on your home description. You probably would want to get the Henry Xtra 200 series. That model comes with standard combo floor tool, horsehair hard floor tool and carpet turbo brush.
Is there a small versions and a bigger version? I ask because one was named compact and I wondered whether they had different sizes to suitable for different storage capacity.

European/UK vacuums have limits to the amount of amps/watts a vacuum can have. They stopped making most vacuums with power nozzles.
they have the 'airo brush', an air powered one with bristles.
@@les2998 shush don't tell everyone but the early 1200w ones can be refurbished
These are such cute, good quality, and fun vacuum cleaners! They definitely have made an impact in the world. Wonderful job!

Great review. Exactly what I needed
I chose the 160 size of Henry because I don’t have too much carpet to clean or too much floor and it’s easier to maneuver
I picked the xtra 200 because I got it a year before the 160 size came to Canada without needing to sell a kidney
Very informative, thank you 👍

My Henry just died aged 19 years...r.i.p old friend.
Was it one of those power save models?. if so the dead circuit can be bypassed then the motor will run again
They don't really die typically, you can fix almost anything on them.
What is the difference between the allergy vs the pet care model ?
Very useful. Thanks.
I love my Henry 200

For home use the 160 Pet care would be the model I would recommend.
ODD QUESTION : WHY DOES THE "SUPERIOR" MIELE C1 ONLY LAST 1000 HOURS AND THIS 2000?@@PerformanceReviews
Where I worked once had carpet tile and we maintained them with a Henry. They did a fine job without a roller brush on that type of flooring.
I had to be careful when vacuuming the maternity ward, because sometimes I would find I was being followed by a toddler. That canister was like the Pied Piper.🎃
Henry’s are used in home sim the uk
I have a Henry Hoover and my mums Mum had it now she give it to us and it did not brake it lasted to 123yers
Wondering if there is any advantage to the metal floor attachment of the 200 vs the all plastic on the 160
The metal one slides better on carpets vs plastic
thx for your expertise
Which would you prefer, HVR160 or James?
The 160 the more compact size and cordial I think are worth the price difference.

It's significantly shortens the motor life.
You're also getting the dust pushed back into the room which is rather hazardous.
@@PerformanceReviews OK Thank you for the reply and for this wonderful video.
Best regards,
WHO DOES SEALED VACUUM MATTER? ISNT "WORKING" WHAT MATTERS?@@PerformanceReviews
Which Henry would recommend for high pile Moroccan rugs?
The attachment sets are exactly the same
The 160 is also known as Henry home
Thank you! I was puzzled because I’d never heard of Henry compact, but I’ve seen Henry Home.
The Henry 200 is larger in diameter and height, that is what I have@@GreenWhitePurple

Is the small and the bigger the same sack bag?
Yes ,
Also, do you have a place you would recommend a purchase? I cannot find Henry locally. Thank you!
The Amazon links in the description
Would you recommend this over a Miele for home use?
Im some use cases yes. Both of those are great options though.

Get a 1200w Henry rather than the 620w version... socks the carpet off your floor
The 200 is cheaper so I will probably go for that
It really depends on the day. Sometimes it is the other way around
$400 for a compact henry? FOUR HUNDRED!?! bro am i reading that right? how much did you pay for these?
Same price as a Miele or SEBO. Such a good value.
Is there a small versions and a bigger version? I ask because one was named compact and I wondered whether they had different sizes to suitable for different storage capacity.
Did you not watch the video?
Watch the video dumb dumb
there is a smaller light james model too.
1:50 Hetty?

Hetty is the pink one
@@Kosykeko thanks, I was making a silly joke. Implying that his wife is Hetty.
And it is soooooooooper lawd it’s wake every one in the hose and the naber

It's ok, get a Henry for about £100 in uk
