Advantages: Cheap. Reliable. Fun design.

Disadvantages: Slight design flaw in having to bend a bit to use

Numatic are an interesting British company that no one really seems to have heard of. Based in Chard they employ over 500 people and have been around for the last 40 years. Compared to Dyson though based about sixty miles away, this company seems to get no publicity and I bet the average person on the street does not know anything about them. Yet they still go out churning vacuum cleaners and related products.

For a company that no one has heard of, they have a product most of us have. The Henry Hoover. Henry are very well designed and have advantages over their competition. Their designs are bright, fun and inventive and the product is cheap, light and robust.

Advantages-
+ Light weight
+ Cheap
+ Colourful designs
+ Fun
+ Reliable
+ Robust
+ Easy to move.

Disadvantages-
+ Have to bend slightly to use product

The Henry and its off shoots are good solid vacuum cleaners and as made by a wholly British company in this financial market well worth considering. They are cheap and from my experience last the test of time well.

Summary: Good cheap fun consumer product
