Henry Vacuum Just Got an Upgrade — Everything New in 2026

Henry Vacuum Just Got an Upgrade — Here's Everything New in 2026

If you thought Henry Vacuum had already peaked, think again.

The nation's favorite vacuum cleaner—that cheerful red face that's been smiling at British homes since 1981—has just had its biggest glow-up in years. Numatic isn't resting on its laurels, and in 2026, the Henry Vacuum family has grown smarter, greener, and more powerful than ever before.

Whether you're a longtime Henry loyalist or you've been on the fence about making the switch, this is the year to pay attention. Here's everything new with Henry in 2026 — and why it might just be the best vacuum money can buy right now.

First, Why Henry Still Matters in 2026

In a world drowning in robot vacuums, app-controlled cleaners, and gadgets that cost more than your monthly shop, Henry has held firm. No gimmicks. No subscription models. No firmware updates that break your Hoover.

Just raw, reliable suction — made right here in Britain.

"One Henry rolls off the production line every 30 seconds. That's not luck — that's trust, built over four decades."

And now? They've raised the bar.

What's New: The 2026 Henry Upgrades

Henry Goes Cordless — Meet the Henry Quick (HEN100)

This is the big one. The moment fans have been waiting for.

Numatic has officially brought cordless power to the Henry name with the all-new Henry Quick (HEN100). And they haven't cut corners to get there.

Here's what you get:

• 25.2V powerful battery — serious suction, not toy-level cordless power
• Jaw-dropping 70-minute runtime — enough to clean an entire home without stopping
• Advanced 5-layer filtration — trapping the fine stuff, not just the big bits
• One-click empty pod system — no mess, no faff, no contact with the dust
• 1L pod capacity — compact but mighty

This isn't a watered-down cordless compromise. This is Henry Vacuum— just untethered.

Who's it for? Flat dwellers, busy families, anyone tired of tripping over cables. If you've been eyeing a Dyson cordless, the Henry Quick deserves a serious look first—at a fraction of the price.

Henry Xtra Finally Comes to the UK (HVX160-11)

It's been available in North America since 2019, and British fans have been asking for it ever since. As of February 2026, the compact Henry Xtra HVX160-11 has officially landed in the UK.

What makes it "Xtra"? It's the same beloved Henry body in the compact 6-liter 160 format, now bundled with an extended accessory kit including the premium AiroBrush turbo nozzle—the attachment that makes pet hair and deep carpet cleaning genuinely effortless.

Why now? Because demand spoke loudly enough that Numatic listened. And the result is the most versatile compact Henry yet.

The Eco Upgrade: Greener Cleaning Without Sacrifice

2026 is a year where sustainability isn't optional — it's expected. Numatic has answered the call.

The updated commercial and domestic range now features:

• 25–45% recycled plastic in key components
• Energy-efficient 420W Eco motors — powerful, but kinder to your electricity bill
• Professional-grade filtration — because clean air is non-negotiable

For eco-conscious buyers, this is more than a marketing tick-box. Henry has always been built to last, which is in itself the most sustainable choice you can make. One Henry that lasts 10 years beats three cheap vacuums every single time.

Henry Allergy — Built for Sensitive Homes

Got allergies? 2026 brings a fresh look at the Henry Allergy, which has been turning heads with its specialist filtration system designed specifically for allergy sufferers and sensitive households.

Spotted in unboxings and first-look reviews already circulating online, this model is generating serious buzz as one of the most talked-about launches of the year for anyone who suffers from dust, pollen, or pet dander.

George Gets a Glow-Up Too (GVE370)

Henry's big brother George—the legendary 4-in-1 canister vacuum—has also been refreshed for 2026 with the new GVE370 model. If you need wet and dry cleaning and carpet washing and vacuuming in one machine, George remains in a class of his own.

New for 2026, the GVE370 is already being called the ultimate all-in-one for serious home cleaners and professionals alike.
