If there's one vacuum that has reached icon status in the UK it's Henry, with a face that you can find peeking out at you in offices, schools and homes up and down the country.

It’s Dyson’s most powerful model yet with a suction power of 262 Air Watts on boost mode, compared to the V15’s 230. The official sound rating for the Henry Quick is 77dB, yet we measured the cleaner at 66dB on the higher setting and 58dB on the low setting.Just like Henry, instead of being packed full of fancy features, Hetty is simply a reliable, hardworking vacuum.

Before that, she was Small Appliances Editor for the title, meaning she has lots of experience with vacuums of all kinds. While our fave corded Henry HRV160 was a bit of a pain to use on the stairs, Sarah found that the HVB160 was comparatively stress-free, with ease of use thanks to the 2. More power and longer battery lives will pay off in the long-run, and the convenience of a cordless vacuum won't be outweighed by limited power. If you love Henry (the vacuum) and you have pets, then the Henry Pet 200 would be an excellent shout for you since it has all the great features of a Henry with the added bonus of extra pet-friendly features. The EcoBrush came in handy during testing for giving upholstery and stairs a once over, according to our vacuum expert Jen.At Ideal Home, we want you to be able to trust our product recommendations as much as the British public trust Henry vacuums. It looks good and performs just fine on hard floors, but beware that large debris (like the cereal in our tests) may spell trouble for the inner mechanisms.

It’s the kind of thick fur that seems to stick to everything, nothing can budge it except this vacuum. However, the biggest draw is convenience – a cordless vacuum cleaner allows you to clean little and often rather than doing one weekly deep clean, and to easily spot-clean dust or spillages without the faff of dust bags and cables. The battery life on this one was particularly impressive during testing, and it charges up so quickly too. Swap it out for the hard floor cleaning attachment and you get similarly impressive results for a longer run time.

We didn’t experience any blockages during our four-week testing period, but since the Henry Quick leaves nothing behind, we could appreciate a time when this feature might prove invaluable. However, after testing the Henry Allergy just before this one, Sarah did note that this one is not as powerful. In her testing quest, she discovered that the HEPA filter at work here is good for keeping dust at bay and that the large capacity and bagged design mean you're more likely to keep allergens out of social spaces.
