Numatic HVR 200 Henry

...both bagless and with the Numatic bags (which she bought on ebay!). So all things being equal we decided that a hepa-filter, whirlwind, bagless, pet-hair-sucking vacuum cleaner was a gimmick of the past and we'd try a Henry. Even choosing which model was good fun too, as you even have a choice of colour-ways; red, yellow, green, blue and a recent pink addition! We opted for the British Racing Green variety (which wasn't exactly the true colour - ...
...having to unplug it! Numatic claim the cleaning range is 31.8m and I'd say that's pretty accurate! The hose is 2.4 metres long. It has a pretty powerful 1200w motor. It's not hugely noisy either. It holds a fair bit of muck too between empties with a 9-litre capacity. And comes with the manufacturer's 2-year warranty. -Appearance- He's actually quite cute. Barrel-like body in your chosen colourway for the bottom half, with a face and the hose ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

...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 ...

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, ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

I've just bought a Henry after a long but fairly unhappy time with a Dyson DC01 (heavy, noisy, expensive, a nightmare to empty), and now I wish I'd bought the Henry in the first place. The suction is amazing - this is the first cleaner I've used where it's necessary to use the suction-reducing controls because it sticks too tightly to the carpet otherwise. It seems to capable of picking up things that other cleaners can't (including coins, so beware!), ...
...into its tube by sheer suction power. The main floor attachment doesn't quite clean to the edge, although approaching the skirting board head-on does the job. Although the suction is reducing as the bag fills, it's still very strong and much better than my Dyson with its filters half-clogged. The Henry's also very quiet, and light enough to carry easily. Its cord is very long, and winds smoothly (though not automatically) back into the machine. The ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

...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 with ...
...Henry comes in 4 different colours, red, blue, green and yellow. The 'R' in the model number simply states this as being red which is the common colour for Henry. The actual handle is adjustable using 3 tubes which are very easy to use and comfortable. You get a variety of heads with the vacuum cleaner for different surfaces. Also for delicate surfaces it has a hi-low switch which allows you to lower the suction power. The Henry takes Microflo bags ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 ...
...and tiles. I also have no problems using it to clean out our car. To top it all off Henry's smiley face also oozes character. The only slight negative is he is a little bit tall which occasionally means he can topple over if you're not careful. I would have no reservation in recommending Henry. ...

...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 that ...
...his wheels but may be a bit cumbersome to carry for some people. The power cord is wound into the unit lid and is fully retractable. However for longer duration uses it is a good idea to unwind the whole cable to avoid overheating. The cable length is about 5 metres in total and I can manage all 3 floors of our house from a ground floor socket. As well as the on/off switch Heenry also has a Hi/Lo power option. Selecting Lo reduces the operation ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 when ...
...I am afraid I can not tell you how much it actually cost. I do know that at the moment it is selling from between £89.99 and £149.00 I do know that it came with a free Henry bag (bright Red) in which you can keep all the extra attachments. Size etc. The model number is HRV200-22 Electrical cord is 10 metres and winds into the hoover itself (which is a godsend) It is oval in shape and measures 340 x 340 x 370cm The hose is 2.4 metres long Motor ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 tight ...
...we purchased ours around a year ago we bought an extra pack of bags and are yet to have opened them. The bags last for so long its un believable. The only disadvantage I can thing of is that it is a hastle to put in a tight cupboard because of the arm unlike an upright. But overall definatly a top quality hoover. ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 ...
...our old oak floorboards, and he reached nooks and crannies that no other hover could touch. He was regularity used to hover outside patio areas and great for car cleaning. He continued his high performance way beyond our expectations. Sadly, our Henry died yesterday after 17 years of fantastic service. He became part of our family. When my daughters set up home, both bought 'Henrys' , and they too are proving to be great, no trouble performers. ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 ...
...speed settings and a variety of tools, he also has a nice long lead and as far as my stairs and hard floors are concerned he can't be beaten. He is also wonderful at dusting - I use the soft brush and the low setting and the dust just disappears - it makes dusting so much easier and also means that the dust is gone rather than being caught up in a duster or flying round the room and settling elsewhere. On all the hard floors he picks up dust and ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 ...
...around the house easy but in my case I have a double winder staircase so find it difficult to clean the stairs, I have to carry Henry up and hold him half way up as it doesn't quite reach the halfway point, also when he gets near to full he is quite heavy, this is why I have rated it good instead of excellent. Overall though it is the best vacuum cleaner I have used and I would recommend it. ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 up and ...
...you are hoovering. We have used it during decorating where plaster and wallpaper etc have all been sucked up and still the Henry remains unfazed by any of it. I have been pleasantly surprised by this little hoover and i would never have anything else. I would reccomend Henry to anyone wanting a new hoover! ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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 ...

The only down side to my Henry is that it does not fit in my cupboard, where as an up right one would. This is not the fault of my hoover though. It is so good I have told all my friends an family and they are all starting to use Henry rather thans your Dyson etc etc. If you want a decent hoover that's gonna last a long time then Henry is a really good ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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! ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

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, ...
...youngest of my children will be picking it up and trying to eat it. Then came along henry the suction is excellent and the added bonus is that I can plug it into the one room and the lead will stretch out to every room in my flat. My children can also work henry and do a very good job of cleaning up after themselves. The bags for the henry are big so it takes a while before you have to change them which is cost effective. It is also a great space ...
