Vacuuming your home can sometimes be a bit of a chore, more so if you’re using the wrong kind of vacuum cleaner. Reliability is key as you want to get something that will not only get the hard to reach places but is also versatile enough to handle both dry and wet floors, tiles and even carpets.
When it comes to corded vacuum cleaners, the Charles vacuum cleaner has features that enable you to vacuum and clean your carpets. Read on as I go through all the features and benefits in this Charles vacuum review.
Charles is part of the Henry Hoover range, and while he is larger and more expensive than most of the Numatic range, he is a wet/dry vacuum cleaner which reduces the need for a carpet cleaner.

When it comes to the Henry family, the Charles vacuum cleaner is by far one of the most powerful. Not only does it come with a 1060 W motor to boost power, but it also has an easy dry to wet switch that makes it the perfect vacuum to use in emergency situations.
The Charles vacuum cleaner is a perfect size and comes with an interesting design that makes vacuuming fun. It also comes with a long cord to enhance the vacuuming experience and is leak-proof making it an efficient item to have in any household.
The fact that it is lightweight does not affect its performance but only goes to improve on its portability. This vacuum cleaner is both reliable and convenient, more so because of its ability to reach the hard places including under seats.
Features Of The Charles Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner
Here are some of the unique features that make the Charles vacuum stand out.
1060W Motor
The 1060W motor makes the Charles vacuum cleaner powerful enough to handle even the toughest situations. This feature particularly comes in handy when one engages in DIY projects that leave the floor messy.
You can expect a big performance when using this vacuum. With this motor power, no matter how difficult the cleaning situation may be, you can always expect professional results.
HEPA Filter
The Charles vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags that have a self-seal tab to ensure the contents in the bag stay there. One of the problems that most people face when emptying vacuum cleaner bags is the mess that comes with it, including dust clouds after dry vacuuming that could trigger an allergic reaction.

What I Didn’t Like About The Charles Vacuum Cleaner
Despite all the great features and specification, I feel some things should be changed.
- Despite the cord being conveniently long, it lacks a cable rewind option. This means you have to wrap the cord around the vacuum, which can be tiring. This is also an inconvenience as there is a chance that the cord may not stay in place, making it all tangled up.
- It is rather noisy.
