What we like about Henry CVC370-2 Charles

  • Amazing and powerful suction that easily handles both dry debris (like dust, pet hair, and plaster) and wet messes (spills, pipe leaks, and blocked drains)
  • Large 15-litre capacity canister requires less frequent emptying during heavy-duty cleaning
  • Highly versatile with the ability to easily switch between wet and dry cleaning tasks
  • Durable, rugged build quality that is trusted by both homeowners and commercial users like tradespeople
  • Great value for money, offering professional-level performance at a reasonable price point

What we don't like about Henry CVC370-2 Charles

  • The power cord lacks an automatic rewind feature, making cord management tedious
  • The unit is bulky and takes up a significant amount of storage space
  • It can be too heavy or cumbersome to carry up and down stairs frequently
  • Not optimized for thick or high-pile carpets (performs best on hard floors and low-pile rugs)

Verdict

The Henry CVC370-2 Charles is a highly versatile wet and dry canister vacuum featuring a powerful 1060W Twinflo bypass motor and an extensive 11-piece accessory kit for multi-surface cleaning. Main pros include a large 15L dry and 9L wet capacity, quick-switch modes for seamless transitions between liquid spills and dry debris, and HEPA Tritex filtration for trapping fine dust and allergens. However, a few notable cons include its bulkier and heavier design, the lack of an active on-board cord rewind despite a long 10m cable, and its unsuitability for deep carpet shampooing without purchasing separate, dedicated detergent extraction attachments.
