Verdict

The Numatic Henry Pet PET160 is a corded, bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner equipped with a 620-watt motor, a 6-litre dust capacity, and a 10-metre power cable that provides an extensive 26.4-metre operating radius. Key features include an air-driven EcoBrush nozzle engineered specifically to lift stubborn animal fur, alongside a specialized MicroFresh activated charcoal filter designed to trap and minimize lingering pet odours. Main advantages include its exceptional suction power of 2300mm H2O, robust build quality, relatively quiet 72 dB operation, and highly hygienic, dust-free emptying via self-sealing HepaFlo bags. However, some users note downsides, such as its 7.5 kg weight, which can make it heavy to carry up and down stairs, its bulky shape that can be cumbersome to maneuver around tight furniture, and the tendency for long hair to wrap around the non-anti-tangle brush bar.

What customers dislike about Henry Pet PET160?

Cylinder design can be clumsy to manoeuvre and has a tendency to tip over during use.
Can feel heavy and cumbersome to pull around or carry up and down stairs.
The EcoBrush floor head is not anti-tangle, meaning long hairs can warp around the brush bar and must be removed manually.
The floor head can feel heavy or high-resistance to push on thicker carpets due to the strong suction.
Lacks an on-board storage solution that fits every single included accessory simultaneously.
Relies on ongoing purchases of genuine replacement bags to maintain optimal airflow and filtration performance.
