Hi Were the BX BX & Nationwide ones any different specification wise to a normal Numatic? I've seen pictures of these types & always wondered why these models were badged that way/ produced. Cheers Dave :-)

Cheers for that vintagerepairer, I'll bear that in mind, as the commercial type Numatic that's in my garage is getting ready for a new hose. Thanks again Dave

Hi Yes thinking about it with something like a filter, I suppose it's better to play it safe & stretch to a genuine one as an inefficient one might prove expensive in the long run if it didn't work too well.. With the hoses etc it obviously wouldn't be as important. Cheers for the input guys...

Those Hoovers are great, look like small sc-fi type robots -they're screaming out for 2 big eyes (sorry, it's this damned Henry obsession, I put faces on everything- lol ) I like the carpet cleaner type head - something else to now look out for :-) I have the Airobrush & it works very well but...

Fascinating stuff this, many thanks for all the info'. Has anyone noticed that the standard floor tool on the upright Swift looks very similar to the standard floor tool used on the cream/beige & brown Henry? I have this colour of Henry with its original floor tool & always wondered why it was...

That is fantastic ! Thanks very much for doing this I really appreciate it, it's exactly what I was looking for. Seeing them in order & the different variations really helps me understand what's out there & what replaced what. That way i've an idea of the specific models & type of Numatic that...

ryry 87, that would be fantastic ! Please do post the pic's i'd really appreciate that, it's exactly the kind of stuff i'm into. I'm gradually trying to amass a collection of brochures so seeing these Numatic ones would be great. Cheers Dave

680w yes I can imagine it's still pretty powerful. I think my new NV200 is 800w & I can't really see much difference between it & our modern Henry performance wise. Cool pic' of the David, I'll get myself one, one day ! Cheers Dave

Hello Great stuff thanks for all the pics & advice I really appreciate it, i'll contact Numatic re: the clip. That all red Numatic NV200 is something special, i've never seen one before, it's fabulous. What size motor do those have? I'm particularly keen to lay my hands on the David version...

Great stuff, those period adverts really capture the feel of the time.

Hello all. I just bought an old Numatic Nv200 to go with my other Henry type machines. It doesn't have a cable re-wind, instead I believe on these the cable/ power cord is hung on a clip on the back when not in use, however on my machine the clip/ hook is missing. Does anyone know how these...

Some cool looking vac's there. I must admit i've never used a Dyson. I've sometimes considered getting one but never quite managed it (not sure why). The DC01's are definitely my favourite Dyson from a looks perspective, great looking things. How do Dyson's perform, do they actually retain...

It's still haunting me that just prior to me becoming properly interested in vacuums (i'd always liked them but it wasn't the obsession it's becoming now !) I let my mum send one of these to the council rubbish tip. Yes, I know it was wrong & i'm hanging my head in shame. Dave :-(

Cheers for the compliment gottahaveahoove. I must admit it's strange how a vacuum can sum up (for me)so perfectly how a country felt about itself in that era as those 60's Hoovers do. America at the time was unbeaten & full of confidence & thought it could do anything (& probably could!) A look...

Wonderful stuff & pics. Those 1960's Hoover Seniors are for me so incredibly stylish. It's like looking at a late 50's/early 60's american car whereby the styling is so somehow confident & just damned impressive. Dave

£9 for that! Bargain !!!! Great looking Hoover, I really like that colour & the condition is great. I agree it possibly was an upstairs vacuum for an old person, my parents used to have one for that purpose (oddly enough that too was a Hoover).

Cool tip Sebo_fan. Thanks

That's superb sensotronic, thanks for that. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, I assume it's sunny where you are! Dave

Wow ! Very cool, I love the hoovers & the funky rug.

A parking bracket on the back of a Henry is a good idea they've needed one for ages as currently storing them is a pain. I also agree concerning the tubes, they're ok but a bit basic & a telescopic set would again make storage easier & probably increase sales- the only reason my parents didn't...
