Verdict

The Henry HVR 160-11 is a compact, corded canister vacuum cleaner equipped with an energy-efficient 620-watt motor, a 6-litre TriTex filtration bag system, and a 10-metre power cable that provides a generous 26.4-metre operating radius. Key advantages include its robust and reliable build quality, exceptional suction power on hard floors and low-pile carpets, quiet 72 dB operation, and highly hygienic, dust-free emptying via self-sealing HepaFlo bags. However, it can be heavy to lift at 7.5 kg, sometimes gets caught on corners during tracking, and the lack of an active motorized brush bar means it struggles to deep-clean thick, high-pile carpeting.
