The Henry Cordless is still made, NaceCare have just stopped carrying them.

Yes, they've been around for many years.

Something that does interest me is that they produce a Hoover AquaMaster knockoff

I believe so, but I'm no electrician!

The Numatic Maxima! Admittedly it's just an NV200 (of which there are many) but the purple colouring is cool and I've not seen this shade of purple since!

That Dirt Devil was sold as a Vax and Bosch over here!

IMO... There's absolutely no reason to use paper bags when fleece ones are available. It just makes no sense

The vacuum cleaner sub doesn't look like it's supposed to be for collectors, so that's not a fair comparison. I agree with a lot of their recommendations, but it's not a place for enthusiasts.

Just FYI The moving from China to the UK isn't speculation, it's confirmed. It'll be a while, but I asked at the factory and everyone from the factory manager to the CEO of Numatic said it will be. The new factory plot is expansive however, and will take a few years to build, so it won't...

TTI owns Vax in the UK, so it'd be under that name. This is actually already kinda done, with the Vax/Hoover OnePWR series

I love those Caddy Vacs!

I was at the Numatic factory for the week, they are expanding massively to help cope with demand from both the UK and NaceCare, and also to build Quick in-house. I also heard from another employee that they're moving production to somewhere else in the UK in a few months, just so they can have a...
