What we like about Henry Hetty HET160

  • Powerful suction performance that outperforms many modern cordless vacuums
  • Compact and lightweight footprint making it easier to carry up stairs and store in small closets compared to the larger Henry 200
  • Generous 6-litre dust bag capacity which holds significantly more debris than bagless alternatives
  • Exceptionally long 10-metre power cable that minimizes the need to frequently switch plug sockets
  • Extremely durable, robust, and reliable build quality designed for long-term domestic use
  • Quiet motor operation during use
  • Hygienic and dust-free emptying system thanks to the self-sealing HepaFlo bags
  • Comes with a versatile and comprehensive set of onboard tools and attachments

What we don't like about Henry Hetty HET160

  • Can be prone to tipping over or getting stuck around tight corners while being pulled
  • The heavy suction can sometimes create a seal against plush carpets, making the floor head physically hard to push
  • Lacks a dedicated rotating turbo or motorized brush head in the standard kit, making pet hair removal from carpets more challenging without buying extra attachments
  • Friction-fit metal wands can be stubborn to separate or lack the convenience of modern telescopic tubes
  • The manual hand-crank cord rewind system can occasionally feel tedious compared to automatic spring-loaded cords
  • The self-sealing tab on the dust bag can sometimes bend and obstruct the main lid from closing properly

Verdict

The Numatic Henry Hetty HET160 is a compact, bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner equipped with a 620W high-efficiency motor, a 6-litre dust capacity, and a TriTex filtration system paired with HepaFlo bags. It features a long 10-metre power cable with a manual rewind system, offering an expansive 26.1-metre operating radius, and includes a versatile 9-piece accessory kit (with a combination floor tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush) alongside durable stainless steel extension tubes. Main pros include its powerful suction, a massive capacity that holds up to five times more dirt than typical bagless models, exceptional British-built durability, quiet 72dB operation, and entirely mess-free, self-sealing bag emptying. However, notable cons are its substantial 7.5kg weight which can make it heavy to carry up stairs, a lack of a motorized brush roll for deep carpet agitation, and the ongoing maintenance cost and hassle of purchasing replacement bags.
