    I Jus Luvs Me My Henry

    The Henry has to be one of the best vacuums out there today! I used my Henry at my job today for about 4 hours and one full bag. Never lets me down! It's why I've bought 2 more for work!

    Beam Q Central Vacuum

    Stay away! I've been in the Central Vacuum industry for over 30 years and sadly, today, Beam is not the best anymore. The Q power team is like the Aerus and made only for Beam and not industry standard. You can never try using any other brand of nozzle with this system or for that matter you...

    Updated Numatic range

    Numatics in America! I've had a Henry for 15 years here in the States and it's my most favorite canister vacuum ever! It's been through the wars and still "keeps ticking." I don't think Numatics are overpriced here anymore. A James is $280.00. A Henry is $380.00. I think the value of the...

    A Big Shout Out to Kent Oyler of KirbyNeeds LLC or KirbyFans on ebay! I purchased a re-furbished Sanitronic VII from him that purrs like a kitten and cleans like nothing I've used in a while! I more than pleased! So look him up on Ebay and get to know him. I'll buy from him again! Greg
