The UK's most iconic vacuum cleaner has had a bit of an update to take it into the 21st century and this time, he's cordless. The Numatic Henry Quick Pet features that cheeky little face we're all familiar with but with powerful, battery-operated cleaning power and dust-free emptying with one click so you can say goodbye to the mess and deposit the dust bag straight into the bin. This pet model of this one litre vacuum comes with a mini motorised tool so you can remove even stubborn hair from your floors.

Our review by Rosie Floyd: "I've been using the Henry Quick Pet around my home for a couple of months now and every time I used it, I'm just so impressed at home well it sucks up the pet hair left behind by my three fluffs. As Barney is a Labrador/Golden Retriever cross, he malts. A LOT. He’s always leaving a trail of hair behind him wherever he goes and after he’s been groomed, it comes out in big clumps. Luckily, it’s no match for the Henry Quick Pet as it just effortlessly vacuums them up, whether that’s on hard floors or on carpets or rugs. One of the features I didn’t know that I needed until I had it was the quick scent pods which release a scent while you’re vacuuming to cover up the pet dander smell. Now whenever I’m vacuuming up the pet hair or crumbs from their kibble, all I can smell is vanilla, rose or passionfruit and it’s honestly delightful."

I really like the light which illuminates the floor, it’s very agile, my hair doesn't clog the foot and it's very easy to store. I thought it would be lighter, but it's not that heavy. Overall, it's a really good vacuum.”
