Henry Quick Vacuum Cleaner Pods, Pack of 10

Product Information

The vacuum comes with 26 pods, which is sufficient to last roughly a year, and they’re made from 60% recycled material. Numatic also says it has put carbon offsetting measures in place to ensure its pods are climate-positive, reducing its carbon impact globally. However, the dirt-filled pods will go in your normal household waste and, ultimately, to landfill – so there is a moral conundrum of convenience versus clear eco-conscience to consider. Carbon offsetting is admirable, but not creating pollution in the first place is better.

Long battery life: With the suction on normal and the brush off, this device will run for approximately 70 minutes. Most cordless vacuum cleaners will only last for 30 minutes. However, in boosted mode with the brush on, it lasts for just 14 minutes, which is a bit less than some competitors.That means it’s more costly to run in the long run, and there’s more waste, but it does significantly reduce day-to-day maintenance on the device. Replaceable parts: If you’ve broken the floor head or damaged the charger, you can get replacements without having to buy a whole new device. The battery takes 150 minutes to recharge, which again is up there with the best. You can buy an extra battery if you want to double up on cleaning time, but considering we never ran out of juice, we don’t believe it’s necessary for any home with four-five bedrooms or less. The battery life ranges from 14 minutes in high power with the brush on, to 70 minutes in low power with the brush off, which is about the best you can expect from a cordless vacuum of this size.

Certainly, the model I tested felt sturdy, but it also felt heavier than some of the cordless vacuum cleaners I’ve tested in the past.

Accessories: You get a crevice tool and a small upholstery brush. These are great for general cleaning but you might want to look for a device with a small rotating brush head if you’ve got pets at home. Unlike its competitors, there’s no emptying the caddy after every clean, or cleaning out the filter every two weeks. We found we could easily vacuum a four-bedroom home from top to bottom in a single charge, with power to spare (there are four power levels indicated by LEDs and we never bled out before we were done). Admittedly, this was achieved by using low power on the hard floors (wood and tile) and low-pile bedroom carpets, switching up to high power only for a couple of rugs and the odd dog-hair strewn sofa.

It did the job better compared to some similar devices, but it also didn’t perform quite as well in other respects. Powerful Cleaning Pop in a pod for factory-fresh performance and powerful suction, time after time. The brush was able to really dig into the piles to bring up hair and other fluff. And on rugs, it did this without lifting it off the floor, which is definitely a bonus. Rotating suction head: The main suction head is equipped with LED lights to help you spot dust, but these only work when you have the brushes switched on. And unlike some of its competitors, there are no blades to stop hair from getting caught in the brush head, which makes maintenance a bit of a hassle.According to the manufacturers, you can get three weeks of use from each filter pod but this obviously depends on how big your home is, how dusty it gets and of course how often you vacuum. Fast charging: A full charge takes approximately 150 minutes, which is quite a lot less time than some competitors, which can require three or four hours.
