Best Numatic Vacuum Cleaners

Our Henry was purchased in 1994. It is a HVR 200. Since that time it has never failed about from occasional hose damage-try not to step on them too… Read more

many times.

Henry vacuums vinyl floor covering, tiles and caret and occasionally the car. Hoses and bags have been constantly available. I think we paid $400, a lot at the time but hell we have had our money's worth. Sorry no receipt but it was 32 years back OK?

Fantastic machine – A professional cleaning company was unable to get out glue, nail polish and glitter glue out of the carpet but george when matched with the correct cleaner had no issues at all. What a fantastic machine. Well worth the money. Show details

I bought this model to replace my Pullman AS10, though I've recently bought the necessary parts for that one, so now I guess I'll have two great… Read more

vacuums!

I use my vacuum daily on multiple surfaces -- hard wood, carpet and tile. It gets a workout, so a well-built machine that lasts is a must, and in the past I've had the worst luck. I've been through countless k-mart vacuums (surprisingly, their $49 model is the best of what they offer), as well as other more expensive brands, and was tired of replacing them so frequently.

The Pullman AS10 (discontinued?) with its Italian-made motor was by far the best one I've owned. After doing some research, I landed on the Henry/Hetty commercial series (UK-made) and was excited to try it out.

Suction is excellent, even too much. It can be difficult moving the head across the carpet because the suction is so strong. The machine feels solid and very well-made. Parts are easy to source. Nothing gets stuck, and it's easy to clean. I feel like the hose is a little stiff, though, and it was pinching my fingers a bit. Will definitely need more time with this model to suss out its longevity, but so far, so good.

Putting it together was easy without instructions. I love the mechanism for lengthening/shortening the (very long!) power cord. It's also SO quiet for what it is; I've never owned a vacuum that made such a gentle noise, lol.

This looks like an awesome commercial vacuum, and its cutesy appearance is just a plus. Will return in a few months if/when I have more to say.
