Henry Allergy HVA 160-11 Bagged Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, Summer Blue

Product Information

But even if you’re not an allergy sufferer a HEPA vacuum can be a good idea to help purify the air in your home keeping it fresher. A micron is a particle that is one-millionth of a meter. So, that can range a bit in size. Some microns are even big enough to be detected by the human eye. Still very small though.

Many good vacuums these days come very tightly sealed. If you are an allergy sufferer, you need to make sure that the vacuum with a HEPA filter is among them. If the gaskets leak air then the HEPA filter is useless. Henry is the model that started it all – although he’s had a number of upgrades over the years. With a charming exterior and simple design, you could be forgiven for thinking it can’t compete with more expensive models. As we found in our Henry Hoover review, however, this is far from the case. Henry vacuums are many things: nostalgic, iconic and reliable. That's why you'll find them in homes up and down the country, as well as in the arsenal of many a professional cleaner. The Henry HV160 is the original Henry, and it's also the most affordable model you can buy from the brand.We were impressed by this cordless number after giving it a whirl for our Henry HBV160 review. As with his plug-in mates, our tester Sarah found this Henry was capable of cleaning carpets, hard flooring, car interiors, and the aftermath of DIY projects.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 2.2 m hose which could reach every step with no trouble at all. The Henry Allergy vacuum cleaner is compact and powerful. It comes with all of the standard tools that you would expect...Plus HEPA filtration to eliminate airbound dust particles. It’s also worth considering the compact versions of Henry vacuums. Many people don’t need the extra capacity provided by full-sized models. Summary The Henry Eco is very similar to other 6-litre Henry models, with the key difference being an energy-efficient motor – 420W compared with 620W. Reducing the motor power helps save on energy bills, although the suction power is slightly reduced as a result. I’ll be honest, if you’re worried about pet allergies and need a great vacuum, the Shark or the Dyson above will be a better choice. But if you don’t have the money for those that’s fine because this hoover is a great alternative that’s more budget-friendly.

Then the fact that this turns into a handheld with a flexible hose means that you can clean the stairs or your car. All the while enjoying clean, bacteria and particle-free air while you’re at it. The Philips Expert does it all if you are a pet owner. It is so powerful that it claims to remove up to 40% more dust than its peers. This is welcome news if you are one of those pet owners that have allergies to pet hair or dander.There’s also a number of different Henry versions, including the popular Henry Xtra, Henry Allergy, Henry Pet, Henry Eco and Henry Micro. There’s even now a Henry Cordless option too. Henry is now suitable for dust related allergies. No mess, No dust, No allergens. Still the Henry we all know and love from Numatic but with the added seal of approval from the British Allergy Foundation. Henry Allergy-Friendly Cleaning

But that doesn't necessarily make for inferior cleaning performance. There are plenty of cordless vacuums that ace our cleaning tests and score much higher than some corded vacuum cleaners, regardless of their power. I love Shark vacuums, they come up time and time again across all my articles because they offer superb suction and great value for money. The latest Dyson is probably “better” but the prices are getting out of control so in my mind they aren’t as worth the money. I can’t deny it is very hygienic, all the dust is stored in a bag and in the case of this Hoover, it’s a self-sealing bag that ensures there are no dust clouds when emptying it. 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. Our tester Jen found that it excelled as collecting hair left behind by her adorable guinea pigs. It's for sure one of the best vacuums for pet hair.A HEPA filter must be tested and the minimum accepted range is the previously mentioned 99.97% of microns trapped. Your basic HEPA filter will be rated to filter 99.97% of particles over .3 microns. That is probably enough for most allergy sufferers. However, people that have certain allergies may need something stronger than that.
