I don't think it sounds like an original modern Henry which is what I miss

I can assure you, mine sounds absolutely nothing like a Miele

 

[parwaz786]

Is your's a 2015 model with 2 rocker switches?

 

[turbo500]

It certainly is! Serial number dates it to week 38 of 2015.

It sounds like a Miele, I have the same one Chris has and mine sounds identical to his, I can tell you, it deffinately has the similar miele tone, sounds nothing like the previous 1200w twinflo motor.

 

[parwaz786]

Cool, guys

I like the sound of the 1200W Henry's, I think it sounds lovely on a Henry, probably because that's the most common sound of a Henry I heard everywhere when growing up! Love it Sounds lovely

 

[turbo500]

Whoever said it sounds like a Miele clearly doesn't own one and hasn't done a side by side test. Trust me, stick em next to eachother and they sound nothing like eachother.

The Henry is much lower in pitch and slightly louder than the Miele. The Miele is quieter and higher pitched. If anything, the current Henry sounds more like the older ones. I'd say it's more comparable to my Dad's old NV250 from 1979 than it is a Miele.

Awesome, I never owned a Henry before but I have 3 Family members with 3 different types of Henry's and having used them, they are brilliant machines! I want one and we need one because there is no way I will be using my mint machines for the house extension we will have in the summer.

My favourite ones are any between 2004-2013, the motor sounds nice and is pretty powerful!

"If anything, the current Henry sounds more like the older ones."

Are you insane?

It sounds NOTHING like the older Numatics! It sounds more like the 1996-1998 1100w single fan motor Henry's that had the coloured outline lettering.

These new Henry's have a cheapy all plastic single fan motor.

The older Henry's from 1981-1995 had twin fan motors with prior 1990 models having an 800w motor and 90-95 having 1000w motors and both sounded nothing like these new models.
Numatic began to cheapen Henrys in around 1996 when they introduced an 1100w single fan motor, then in 99-2003 an even cheaper, smaller motor, again single fan and still rated at 1100w.
In 2004, Numatic re introduced a twin fan motor in Henry cleaners, this particular motor known as the "twinflo" motor, that was 1200w and was used in the push button with hi/lo switch, double rocker on/off/hi/lo, on the top back and the Autosave variants.

For some reason and for the first time, Numatic have gone to an all plastic, motor, but single fan, like the mid 90s variants, it is also significantly smaller than the predecessor, the 1200w "twinflo" motor and is not as easily serviceable.

Alex.

Hmm think I will go for the twinflo motor HEnry!

Ooh, I presume Alex is talking garbage again. Figures.

 

[parwaz786]

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, apologies for buttin in aswell but it's probably for the best- why not just make up and put this behind us like real men? We aren't women where we hold grudges from nursery till the age of 60...

It's much better to forgive and forget, it would be really depressing if (God forbid) one of us dies prematurely and with a grudge still held against the other? Just my tupence...

[alexhoovers94]

I am speaking the truth, everything I have said was true about Henry's, I should know, I have had every varient of them that was made, believe me, I know what I am talking about.

 

[turbo500]

Sorry Tayyab but I disgree entirely. I've found the best way to deal with that level of negativity and bad attitude is to cut it out altogether. I won't bore you with the details, but for years I have defended Alex when he was trolling and pissing everybody else off, but I reached the point where I'd had enough. Alex's actions recently pushed me too far to the point where I no longer wish to associate with him. I won't bore you with the whole story, although no doubt he will post his twisted, backward, arse-worths version of it on reading this.

UNFORTUNATELY, he seems to want to reply to everything I post and contradict every comment I make. Classic attention seeking and desperation. So despite the fact that I have his posts blocked and can no longer see what he posts, his name keeps cropping up. I'm not remotely interested in his posts and he should take the hint and stop addressing me on here. Certain people were continuing to send me screenshots of things Alex was posting, I have now asked them to stop and made my feelings about Negative Nancy completely clear.

So, dear fellow vacuum enthusiasts, please PLEASE stop messaging me and telling me what Alex is saying. I'm not interested.

 

[sebo4me]

Oh dear I don't think Alex will be getting a valentines card from Chris this year

 

[parwaz786]

I think it's just best not to have any beef at all so there's peace & no grudges

 

[alexhoovers94]

Lol, I dont think I am the negative one here, I think Chris is the stuck up one here.
I would like to make it perfectly clear, not that it is anyones business anyway, I have no desire to chace after Chris, he is the one that stopped talking to me and frankly it has had little inpact on me. Deapite what anyone might think. I do reply to everything he post and always have, because he chats complete shite!

 

[alexhoovers94]

Chase* impact* despite*

 

[sebo_fan]

But Alex, he doesn't talk complete excrement (a nicer word that doesn't rhyme with "bright.") because everyone is allowed to express their opinions.

Truth be told, Chris is very knowledgable, reads a lot as do other collectors through the years and learns about machines. So what if he finds the motor noise isn't like a Miele. At least he has expressed his differences. Respect that. If you can't - you're on the wrong, forum.
