Why Canadian Allergy Sufferers Need Specialized Vacuums

Allergies don’t stop at the door, especially in Canada, where fluctuating seasons bring waves of microscopic allergens into your home. For those who suffer year-round, traditional vacuums just don’t cut it.

These vacuums release allergens, like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander, back into your home’s air, triggering symptoms instead of relieving them. That’s where a specialized HEPA vacuum or hypoallergenic vacuum cleaner makes all the difference. Henry helps Canadians maintain a healthier, more breathable home through every season.

Advanced Filtration Features in the Henry Allergy Model

Henry’s quiet power and advanced filtration make for a healthier home.

Henry Allergy traps allergens with H-13 HEPA, TriTex, and HepaFlo filtration.

Henry packs powerful, efficient cleaning and allergy-fighting tools; less hassle, more spotless living.

Don’t just pick up surface hair. Henry’s strong suction digs deep into carpets, rugs, and pet beds to pull out embedded fur, crumbs, and debris left behind by even the messiest pets.

This motorized brush attachment is perfect for pulling stubborn hair off stairs, sofas, and car interiors. It spins as you clean to agitate and lift hair that other vacuums leave behind.

Henry’s advanced filtration system captures 99.97% of allergens, including pet dander, dust mites, and fine particles, making it a great choice for homes with allergy sufferers or sensitive airways.

Henry is designed to run quietly, which means less stress for your family (and fewer surprises for your pets, sleeping babies, or remote meetings).

Henry’s extra-large HepaFlo bags hold up to 7.6 litres of debris. That means fewer emptying trips, less mess, and more uninterrupted cleaning.

On-board tool storage means tools are always on hand and neatly packed away.

Henry Vacuum Features - Henry For Home
“Henry the red vacuum is powerful, easy to use, and makes cleaning so much faster. I love the long cord and huge capacity. I don’t have to stop and empty it all the time. Sturdy, reliable, and a little fun with the smiley face. I even convinced my young step-son that feeding Henry was fun, and so he started vacuuming! Highly recommend!”
— Alethea Spiridon
“I couldn’t be happier with my Henry vacuum. From the first use, it was clear how well-designed and durable it is compared to other vacuums I’ve owned. The suction power is excellent, and it easily handles everything from carpets to hard floors. I also love how simple it is to use—no complicated buttons, just plug in and go. Overall, Henry is a trustworthy and no-nonsense machine that does exactly what you want it to do. Highly recommended!”
— Ty Huggins
“Between crumbs under the kitchen table, snack spills in the living room, and the endless trail of dirt from outside play, Henry keeps up with it all. What I love most is how powerful yet simple it is - picking up everything in one go without needing to go over the same spot twice. The different attachments make it easy to switch from carpets to hardwood, and I can even get into those tricky corners and under the couch where toys like to hide. So easy to store once done, without missing a part. I love how convenient it is, while saving space and it's made cleaning around the kids so much fun!”
