. . . This review is on the very robust Henry Numatic model HVR 200. You will know it as soon as you see it as it has a smiley face, and comes in four colours, red green blue & yellow, well now they have added another to the range - PINK!!! Technically this one is called HETTY, but it is identical otherwise.
The shape is cylindrical, but not laid down, it is upright, like an oil drum, and has a buffer ring surrounding it, which does not mark walls. It is mounted on castors, and so is easy to move about.
As for the suction, I can only say it is brilliant, the cable is wound up neatly in it's own drum, all tools are there, the machine itself is light enough to be carried up the stairs, what more could you want in a cleaner?
There is of course a down side, but not much of one, for instance it is not easy to vacuum the stairs as you need to balance the machine on the tread, and hold it there with your leg. You will find that the bag (if you use one) is quickly filled, although it holds nine litres of dust. This cleaner is also a little "industrial" looking, but that is about your lot.
Weighing in at under seven Kilos, this plastic beauty has a massive 1200 watts of cleaning power. The hose length is 2.4 metres, and the cable reaches for 10 metres. The usual nozzles, brush, and obligatory crevice tools are of course included. The warranty lasts two years, and the instruction manual is very informative. These are built in Britain by Numatic International, in Somerset actually.
The cheapest I have seen these is under £75 which I think us a bargain, bearing in mind it will last you many years. I have actually seen it advertised for a gigantic £138! and hope nobody has paid even close to that.
I usually list all the contact details, spares, repair locations etc. but in this case see below as the company has it's own website containing all this information, go on :- http://www.numatic.co.uk and see for yourself. . . .
