Numatic Henry Reviews

Lets face it no one actually likes vacuuming. Its one of those things we have to do and is up there with worming the cat and doing the ironing as a necessary but unavoidable household chore. Theres a seemingly infinite range of vacuum cleaners on the market from the cheap plastic Dirt Devil to the deluxe Dyson with its funky colours and giant ...  Read the complete review

In the university accomadation that I am currently staying in, residents are provided with one of these Henry Hoovers so that they can keep their rooms nice and clean. My review therefore is based on my experiences using Henry to clean my own floor, and I must say overall I am very impressed. At home we have only ever had Dyson cleaners, so it's ...  Read the complete review

We got our Henry 5 years ago and it is still going strong. The only thing that has gone awry is the on/off button which is now permanently switched on! However, as we obviously don't leave the Henry plugged in constantly then it's not an issue - just means that we have to beware that when switching it on at the mains then the Henry will ...  Read the complete review

I have used the Numatic Henry vacuum cleaner on various ocassions and it is a tough little thing. I like the simplicity of it and the fact they have hardly changed for years - keep it simple was their company motto I guess. The handle makes it easy to carry although it's not the lightest cleaner around. The capacity is impressive along ...  Read the complete review

I have quite a few friends and family who I frequently babysit for or house sit for. When I have been looking after somebody's house for a few days or weeks, I like to ensure it is tidy as possible for their return. This means I've used quite a few vacuums in my time. Henry is a high performance vacuum cleaner is instantly recognisable. ...  Read the complete review

There are already lots of upbeat reviews here (two of my favourites are from JJJJ and nar2) from happy owners of Numatic's legendary 'Henry' canister vacuum cleaner. So instead of restating what's been said before, I'm going to approach the issues from a rather different angle. A vacuum cleaner exists to improve your environment: ...  Read the complete review

this little boy is the best hoover i have ever bought. we had got a new house and with 2 children and 2 cats i needed a hoover that did the job. i received my henry opened it up and was amazed at what i got. i had many add on bits of all different shapes, i had 5 bags included in the box plus i had a little shopping bag too which i thought was ...  Read the complete review

The Numatic Henry is a great machine for an average house, as it works on all floors with the simple click over on the end of head. This drag along vacuum has a great powerful suction with a 2100W motor. The new one of this model now come with the two power suction for lots of dirt and dust on hard to move ...  Read the complete review

when i moved out of my mums house unfortunatly the time had come when i had to buy my very own hoover. Mum had had the henry hoover for as long as i could remember without having to replace it or mend it, so i'd already decided what i wanted. When i started to look for the cheapest around i came across the numatic hoover. I think i paid about ...  Read the complete review

A brilliant little hoover - when he wants to be. This hoover has been in households and alike for years and will be for years to come. When it comes to hoovers there are only 2 choices - dyson or henry? Henry comes with a full installed 10m cable which you pull out and then simply wind in which keeps it all neat and tidy and ...  Read the complete review

I live in a student house and this little Henry is really robust (ie when it bashes into the wall it doesn't make a difference; not even a scratch)! Although there are four wheels in the corners it moves really easily and quickly in any direction and is really easy mhen you clean because you don't feel the weight of it at all and you can move ...  Read the complete review

It feels slightly odd to be so attached to an inanimate object, but I think this hoover is wonderful. I was initially given a second-hand one (approx 5 years old) to use when I was renovating my house. I used this 2 or 3 times a day for a year for really heavyweight jobs, like hoovering big lumps of plaster, nails, tonnes of dust, ...  Read the complete review

I went into the shop to buy the pink version of Henry, but they didn't have one. The sales assistant telephoned around all their shops in a 50 mile radius, but none of them had a pink one, so we bought the "male" version! I know it doesn't make any difference to the performance of the hoover, whichever colour it happens to be, but I just ...  Read the complete review

Everyone probably recognises the beaming smiling vacuums also knows as Henry. There are manufactured by a British company 'Numatic' and much like the 'Mini' this vaccum is small, compact and simple in design. They cost around £89.99 if i recall correctly and also come in a pink design called 'Hetty'. We have owned one of these now for a ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

i already own a upright dyson which i absolutely adore and still use. my husband insisted one day browsing in makro that the henry was on offer for 79.99 plu vat that t was a bargain not to be missed. we live in a 3 floor terrace and hate lugging the dyson up and down the stairs and hence one of the reasons my huband said it would be easier. ...  Read the complete review

We have had our numatic henry hoover for about 5 years now and its great. We paid £89.99 for this hoover. This is a great style of hoover it is really small and versatile. Made of tough hard wearing red and black plastic. It is a canister hoover which requires a bag. The bags can be brought in a pack in argos or other hoover shops. ...  Read the complete review

My mum had a Henry, I grew up with it and I think it's probably the best vacuum cleaner I've come across. My mum's worked for 25 years with no faults or repairs needed whatsoever. I think the reason is that it is a very simple mechanism, and there is very little to go wrong. The quality of manufacter is top notch - all parts are really solid and ...  Read the complete review

Henry the hoover is excellent and one of the best hoovers I have ever purchased. I did own one years ago and for some reason gave it away. I found my normal upright hoover difficut and clumsy for stairs and the car so decided to purchase my new henry. For all around the house it's great with a long hose it reaches all those hard to ...  Read the complete review

well what can i say about my Henry, i must admit he has seen better days, all scuffed up and rather old and battered looking. I dont use him so much now i have a new hoover but i call him my old faithfull, any time my new hoover decides it had enough i can always go back to old faithfull. He is so easy to use and still now had garte suction. I did ...  Read the complete review
