Advantages: Suction that'll make your knees buckle Disadvantages: Poor instructions, cheap appearance, difficult to store
...far more industrial.
The Numatic range starts from £62.00 for the basic James and goes up to £137 for the range-topping George (all prices exclusive of VAT) and are more easily purchased on-line than they are in high street stores. But, despite their Thomas The Tank Engine facades and titles or the relative difficulty in not being able to take one home with you today, these are cleaning tools of which to be proud and, before going any further with ... ...A quick call to Numatic rectified the problem, however, and a new caster was quickly with us; George now glides around the rooms with the ease of Zoe Ball in ballet shoes.
That little issue aside, he needed putting together before he could be used. It's not that complicated, really, but the instructions are dire. George arrives with so many different tools that you're a little unsure just what's supposed to go where and the family friendly comic ...

Advantages: Built-to-last, powerful, Dry and Wet suction Disadvantages: Heavy, No Cord-rewind, messy dust filter, overkill for dry-only use
Asthmatics stop here! There's no HEPA filter.
I've been using this for about two years and I have aged more than it has and it has never required more than a new dust-bag. I've put the conclusion at the top because I do ramble on a bit.
Conclusion:
If you really need to clean carpets or you've lots of wet stuff to suck up then you really NEED George and all the relatively minor problems won't matter.
If you are a "real-man" type and love the ... ...are a small price to pay.
If you just want a hoover then try Henry, he's lighter, smaller and just as tough.
How it feels:
George is built from the sort of plastic that you find in industrial Mop Buckets. Treat it with care and it should last forever, treat it with contempt and it will last forever but will show some signs of wear. George has a cute face stuck on it which is out-of-place on such a mean machine, it needs a menacing scowl! It is ...

Advantages: sucks like a trooper Disadvantages: patronizing design
i've never been much of a fan of novelty hoovers. sorry i should say vacuum cleaners, but the george really changed my opinion. it's pretty green face made me feel at home in the world of manual work.
ok, so i grew up an aristocrat but i've turned my back on that now. i am thoroughly middle class and occasionally bake a cake to prove it. (lords and ladies only bake bread in case you were wondering).
my servants tell me that the george is a fine ... ...of three yards. just look at that lovely elephantine nose! how cute. patronizing, yes, but cute as a tellytubbie, whatever that is. my man tells me he has never used the george on account of it not being exactly part of his remit, but he hears from the scullery maid who hears from the farmer's servant that it is a fine beast. at least, i THINK she was referring to the george. come to think of it she might have been talking about something else. enough ...
