Henry Xtra comes in a cardboard box with two reinforced card inserts to cradle his bottom and bonce. The quick answer is yes, there are some key additional features that help the Xtra stand out as an attractive option from the Henry Hoover range.

The bags themselves are the new HepaFlo bags, which are really strong and not made from paper like the older-style bags.And with its handy dusting brush and crevice tool, this cheerful vacuum cleaner can dust curtains and suck up dirt in tight areas. Also suitable for hard floors, this smiley little roller includes plenty of extra tools and accessories to get the job done efficiently. Tried and Tested - Built on a very well tested (and well loved) design of the original Henry Vacuum.

Her two-bedroom Victorian cottage is the perfect testing ground as it is dust-prone and rather small. Keep your home free from dust and dirt with the well-loved Henry Xtra HVX200-11 Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner. With 50 per cent more room in the tank and some additional tools to boot, we wanted to find out whether 'extra' was a worthy moniker. These slot in and out of one another with ease and I often take the whole pole off and use the adapter to connect things directly to the hose if I don't need the part of the pole that has the suction control. The main negative with the Xtra is that it’s fairly heavy and not the best vacuum for cleaning stairs, but it does have many positives.The suction is amazing and while it doesn't have lots of high-tech features, if it is good enough for professional cleaners, it is good enough for us. My office has a wooden floor with a thick pile rug, so using the combi tool here makes sense for a quick clean. The way the Henry Xtra is put together means you can get crazy lengths of hose and cord so you barely miss that it isn't cordless – mid-clean it is just you and the floorhead until you have to drag him to the furthest reaches.

His versatile toolkit includes 3 floor tools, including the unique AiroBrush for superb carpet care and a specialist hard-floor tool. The brand's fuss-free approach to design (bright red face aside) means they are often up there with some of the best vacuums in the UK.Whether you are a Home Owner or a Pet Owner or both the Henry Xtra with his cheeky little smile will equally bring a smile to your face. Lindsey has also used it for dusting the TV, cleaning her sofa, vacuuming under the bed (after far too long), and restoring the rug in her lounge. It does also come with an additional hard floor head, but other than that it’s not much different to the Henry.

Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product. As she was in the process of a kitchen renovation, it has taken Lindsey a while to test this vacuum, but better late than never. The Henry Xtra HVX200 is the most popular choice for the domestic "Henry" Vacuum for people who have a lot of carpets or wood floors in their house ever since it was introduced into the market. And if not him, then one of his colourful brothers and sisters — or one of the more industrial-style vacuums from parent company Numatic. No problem the Xtra comes with a clip on the face that can be removed should you not wish to have a smiley vacuum.

Of the vacuums I regularly use, the Miele C3 is definitely my favourite for power and cleaning capability. The airo brush is our opinion is the best brush Numatic have ever brought out which provides great performance on any flooring.
