Numatic HVR 200 Henry > Reviews

Advantages: Very Easy To Use, Compact Design, Microflo Bags, Cleaning Range 31.8m & Variety of Heads
Disadvantages: None

...think everyone should have a Numatic HVR 200 'little' Henry in there home. I've had this vacuum cleaner for a few years now and has never let me down. Don't be fooled by its size and smiley face, it's got some serious pulling power. The design of the vacuum cleaner is compact and can be easily stored. It has a power on/off switch and handle for carrying on the top. The body is where the bag is located and all the dust will be sucked up into it ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful, low maintenance, Simple
Disadvantages: Can be a bit awkward

I have been the proud owner of a Henry for over two years and in my opinion it is one of the best values for money products I have purchased. It is simple to operate with a large red power button as its only control. It has a large capacity bag and is very simple to empty. The power lead is exceptionally long and winds in and out so you don't have lengths of cable all over the floor. The motor is powerful and suction is extremely good. It picks up ... Read review

Advantages: Reliability and effectiveness
Disadvantages: Weight

...bit of kit. Made by Numatic in Chard, Somerset, purchasing one of these will also help what is left of the UK's manufacturing industry. The overall design hasn't altered in years which says something about the quality and reliability of this cleaner. The Henry can be used bagless or bags can be purchased separately and the bags are widely available in local shops and also the DIY chains. We pay £6.50 for 10. Probably the only negative point is ... Read review

Advantages: Great - will pick up most types of rubbish
Disadvantages: A little awkward when doing the stairs

Henry the Hoover It coultn't of had a better name as my hoover is like my friend. It is something that I use each day. I have recently been trying to hoover up a mouse that I have at home. It has got so brave this mouse that it has begun to climb up onto my desktop to sniff around. It seems to follow me everywhere and Henry and I ,have tried to catch it - but up to yet - no joy (I am afraid) In actual fact I was given this hoover by my father ... Read review

Advantages: great suction, bag last a long time, easy handle
Disadvantages: hard to store in tall cupboards

We purchased Henry after our upright Dyson broke down. We had some cleaners in and everytime they left the carpet was SPOTLESS. So my mother asked me if they used a commercial hoover or some type of product and when I told her they used a Henry hoover she was shocked. A big advantage about the Henry is that having the arm instead of an upright means you can hoover under tables and chairs etc without having to move them and you can get into the ... Read review

Advantages: Lovable, Super suction Lightweight, glides with ease, cord storage, Workhorse.
Disadvantages: None

I hired a Henry for a few weeks in July 1991 for major renovations to an old Farmhouse. He picked up everything from nails, plaster, wattle & daub, sand, rubble, brick and much, much more with ease. (with or without bags) Brilliant!, so we purchased one ,thinking if he only lasted lasted the 6-9 month renovation period, we would be quids in. He was worked so hard, and was by far, our most reliable, efficient and courteous labourer. His tremendous ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant on hard floors
Disadvantages: Hopeless on carpets if you own pets.

Before I owned Henry I used to have a Dyson but though the Dyson was good on carpets it was pretty hopeless on hard floors (it was an oldish model so perhaps the newer ones are better). As I have a mixture of carpet and hard flooring I decided to buy a Henry as reading reviews about him it appeared that he was a good multi-purpose cleaner. I've owned him for about 4 months now and in some ways he is brilliant, the only downside is that if you have ... Read review

Advantages: Great Suction, moves around easily, long hose and quiet
Disadvantages: not great on stairs & gets quite heavy,no indicator to tell when he's full

I think this is a fantastic Vacuum cleaner and would highly recommend it for people requiring a lot of suction, we purchased Henry because we have just started to do a lot of building work and needed one that wouldn't stop working after a few weeks of brick dust like others we have had. We have had Henry for over a year now and he is still going strong. He is great at sucking up smaller bits of rubble and brick dust as well as normal cleaning around ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful Suction
Disadvantages: None!

Over the years i have tried many different hoovers that all promise great things only to be disappointed each time. When my husband came home with a Henry a little over a year ago, to be honest i was not impressed! That was until i tried it however! It has a very powerful suction and makes cleaning quite effortless, a year on and the suction is as good as the day we bought it. It has a Hi- Lo function which allows you to turn the suction ...

Advantages: Powerful, long cable, easy to use, good value
Disadvantages: None

I bought my Henry about a year ago. I am really happy with it! In fcat it is the best hoover I have ever used. The hoover is powerful and the wire is very long. This enables me to hoover my whole flat (which is not small) without unplugging it. It has a number of attachmenst which are really useful to get in all the nooks and crannys. It is suitable for cleaning all surfaces. I even hoover my tiles, wooden floors and my carpet. In the time that ... Read review

I love my Henry! After years of using various bagless high tech hoovers including Dysons, Vacs and the pod, my stepmother recommended i buy a Henry. The bagless hoovers start off great but they soon lose suction and before you know it picking up the dirt with a dustpan and brush is quicker. Plus, to make matters worse, you are £200 worse off than you were before. At only about £90, Henry is a bargain. We've had ours for almost 2 years now and he's still as strong as ever. Yes, remembering to buy bags can be annoying but it is well worth it for the performance. Some have said that the nozzle can break if you drag him around your house with force but a bit of care and so far ours has been fine. Admittedly, hoovering up is harder work with Henry than it is with an upright cleaner but personally i could with the exercise!

Advantages: easy storage, good suction, long lead
Disadvantages: expensive to buy

Henry well all I can say is he is treated like part of the family he is trust worthy and reliable and he helps me look after the children brilliantly. I have had countless vacuumes that have ended blowing up in smoke or just not sucking up the bits out of my carpet. Having 3 children running around with cake, buscuits and any other consumable component that crumbles when you bite into it is a challenge to keep the flat in a clean and orderly manner, ...
