And let’s quickly point out that the “basic” Henry is an amazing vacuum cleaner and more advanced in terms  of performance than any other brand that I’ve used…

But back to the Henry Xtra.  The Xtra HVX-200-22 is everything that the Henry HVR200A is, but with some notable additions.

The Henry Xtra has a 3 stage Microfresh filter system which Numatic claims “enhances filtration standards to 98%”.  This consists of 2 Tritex filters sandwiching between them an activated charcoal filter membrane.  This makes a big difference when it comes to controlling odours and should be of interest to pet owners.

It does seem that Numatic are targeting this Henry variant at pet owners because the other big difference is the Airo power brush which should be particularly useful for getting animal hair off the carpet.

I’ve found that the Henry HVR200A is all I’ve ever needed from a vacuum cleaner in terms of it being long-lasting and doing the job it’s supposed to do well;  extremely well.  If you don’t have special needs like pets then this should do you fine.  If you do have pets then the Henry Xtra is worth checking out.

Numatic vacuums are renowned for being hard-wearing and efficient and this is due to the rigorous testing that goes into the design of all Numatic vacuum cleaners.

I’ve tried most of the big vacuum cleaner brands and have had many vacuums over the years. The only one that has lasted considerably (years) longer than any of the others is my Numatic Henry. I can say without hesitation that the reputation for designing quality vacuum cleaners is well deserved by Numatic.
