Advantages: Powerful, long power cable, lightweight, plenty of accessories. Disadvantages: Can't think of any!
A powerful, easy to use, easy to empty vacuum cleaner. A+++
After having several "bagless" vacuum cleaners that all seemed to fail (despite regular maintenance), I came to hear about Henry.
Henry is a professional spec vacuum cleaner you see being used in offices, airports, hotels, hospitals, shops and schools etc, so if it can cope in a commercial situation, domestic dirt should be a doddle for Henry!
Numatic International (the company who manufactures the HomeCare and CleanCare range of vacuum cleaners) make Henry to a full professional spec, including stainless steel tubes and extensions, a crush proof hose, combination Carpet/Hard Floor Tool, crevice tool, dusting brush, upholstery tool (with slide on brush) and an extra long power cable.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Numatic Henry

Eventually having tried a Numatic Henry wet 'n dry which had great "suck" but no powered head I took the plunge and ordered a "Henry Hound". On arrival, and with some trepidation, I unpacked it, connected the hoses etc, put on the 24v power head [which was quite heavy] and pressed the button.
My "test" lasted half an hour by which time every corner of the flat was devoid of dog hairs, dust, and even chewed wood ...
The giant container has a capacity of 90 litres (dry) and is carried on our stainless steel big wheel chassis and provision for emptying is by a standard dump hose facility. The 2000 has always been very popular in the dairy and food preparation industries where the use of high pressure cleaning processes are commonplace resulting in a lot of water needing collecting nearly all of the time.
