Here is the inside of a Henry. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwBrJ9H6vWA

That's right - Henry is a small dry vacuum cleaner. The wet vac is the Charles. The next one is George, and he wet cleans carpets as well as sucking up water.

No, Harry is Harry. Henry Hound is just that. I am not sure if it is still in production. There was a red standard version of it, and then the green hound which had a carbon filter too.

"Let's review: A Henry vac is essentially a Shop vac that is roughly five times the size of something like a Eureka Mighty Mite which is a little bit larger than a large clothes iron, and about as heavy. The Mighty Mite even stores some of it's attachments on it's self, something Henry...

Most Numatic cleaners came with a power socket and an electrically powered head could be purchased as an optional extra. I am not sure when Numatic stopped the power socket on all cleaners, but on the Henry they stopped it about 20 years ago. Henry later came with a different type of power head...

There have been programs on TV where owners of new homes could not get the furniture up the stairs.

Who knew how many times I'd have to read the word "serial" before I understood it to mean cereal. I don't think what Turbo500 said was in any way an exaggeration. Yes, Great Britain does have it's fair share of enourmous homes, of course it does, but houses built in cities en-mass have always...

So true, Sebofan. Cylinder vacs with power nozzles were never going to catch on in the UK, because rather than offering the best of both worlds - as may be the case in a large open-plan home abroad- over here they seemed to encapsulate the worst aspects of both types of cleaner. The lightweight...

I think perhaps you may like to suggest to the UK Kirby distributors that they perform a dried cat vomit test in the homes where they have called to demonstrate the cleaner. Next to the mattress cleaning session, perhaps?

I saw one of these today. Once again, a cheap tub vac which uses Henry sized parts so as to attract the custom of cleaning businesses who may have a glut of spares already, but all the same a neat cleaner. The retail price is not much lower than the Henry, and for the fact it has no...

"I understand that Homes across the UK and other areas are much smaller and I would think that uprights would make cleaning more difficult because you move the while vacuum unlike a canister you just move the hose and tools." That is pretty much so, although despite this Upright cleaners have...

Turbo500, that's why I said "per se" because the homecare line up and supporting brochue is all very new and has arrived years & yers after the penny dropped that people were buying these commercial-grade cleaners for their homes. Anything which now suggests the Numatic cleaners have a domestic...

In all my years I have never seen Henry as a shop-vac. If anything I thought it was a more powerful and sturdy version of this: http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9nnZsrCqZY

Well you see this is the interesting thing - a cleaner which is easy to use and move around a clutted home that performs "moderatly" actually out perfoms the bigger & more powerful cleaners that are too big & powerful to manage. Effectivly it renders the performance of the latter none-existent...

Meant to say female versoin of the Henry, not Hetty.

Hetty = short for Henrietta. In the mid 1990's some of the Numatic cleaners had a cartoon little girl on the box which the cleaners came in. She was known as Henrietta, but it wasn't until the late 2000's that Numatic started building a female version of the Hetty. Great Universal Stores were...

It is not just the fact that European homes are smaller that is the problem (though that is part of it), it is also what we put in them. Many British homes can be cluttered and stuffed full of furniture and nick-knaks. Not only do you have to go round everything at floor level, you have to be...

I don't know of course, but I expect there is more to this than meets the eye. That is to say this smacks of someone who wants to get known for something and has been told to do a video about something he knows a bit about. What this one individual thinks about Henry is neither here nor there...

I find it beyond words to describe how difficult it is for me to call that machine 40 years old as it still seems very modern to me. How time passess.

I don't like the design of the exposed motor!
