So, if you have decided a vacuum is for life and not just for Christmas (or until the next gimmick), Henry Xtra will be happy to take residence in your home for the long run. As well as all of the tools you get with the regular Henry, Henry Xtra has two additional floorheads – one with a rotating brush for carpet, and the other is more slimline and best for hard flooring and tiles. Already loved and trusted by millions of households, Henry Xtra comes with a Hard Floor Tool, AiroBrush Tool and handy 9L capacity.

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. Simply unclip the top, lift out the filter and remove the dust bag, before replacing with a new one. The bags themselves are the new HepaFlo bags, which are really strong and not made from paper like the older-style bags. From deep cleaning hotel floors to sucking up cereal (or worse) in a student flat, all Henry vacuums are designed with function and durability in mind.The other 'control' you have is to lower or raise the brushes on the combi-floor tool if you choose to use that floor head. The benefit of this brush is that it beats dust from carpets and draws hair and lose fibres out of carpet pile, vastly improving the pickup performance of the vacuum on carpeted areas. Instead, it uses airflow and a turbine to power the brush and while it sounds basic, it is very good at lifting hair and refreshing the pile. The latest model is the Henry Xtra HVX200-11, and whilst there’s not much difference between models, it’s important to check which one you’re getting to avoid disappointment.

The AiroBrush is a specialist floor tool that is great for tackling pet hairs and removing tough dirt and dust when carpet cleaning. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed.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 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. AiroBrush easily picks-up stubborn pet hairs from carpets and stairs, using Henry's powerful airflow to operate the turbo brush, actively lifting hairs from the carpet fibres.

This is great for nipping around a couple of times a week, then I get Henry Xtra out of the cupboard to tackle the dirt my stick vacuum can't handle.Also, if you are like me, you will find these generously sized plastic bags handy for storing things like pillows and other items once Henry is done with them. The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. The difference this brush head makes to cleaning up hair is worth the added expense, and based on this I would go so far as to add it to the list of the best vacuums for pet hair too, though I have thus far only tested it on the human variety. 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.
