Verdict

The Numatic HPC160-11 Henry Petcare is a compact, green-coloured bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner featuring a 620-watt motor, a 6-litre dust capacity, a 10-metre power cable with manual rewind, and a noise level of 70–72 dB. Designed specifically for pet owners, it comes equipped with dual airflow-operated AiroBrush tools for effective hair removal and a charcoal-activated MicroFresh filter to neutralize pet odours. Main advantages include its exceptionally powerful suction, high-capacity mess-free self-sealing HepaFlo bags, robust build quality, and comprehensive accessory kit. However, at a weight of 7.5 kg, it is somewhat heavy to carry up stairs, and the interference-fit extension tubes lack sophisticated mechanical articulation.
