Maybe UK but they often don't say. Also they tend to have Chinese sounding names on them, like Sun Fai.

Very nice Alex! Congrats on your purchase!
That plug is odd, both my James and Bertie (purchased new this year, or last year I suppose, happy new year!) Have the square plug like you mentioned, alyhough I have seen other Henrys with the triangle plug too.

It will all depend on who is charging what, and what flexes are used.
For instance, as a domestic model, the Henry and Hetty use a long 0.75mm lead which is hard-wired to the cleaner. These leads are quite likely to be purchased in bulk by Numatic, with the plugs ready fitted.
Other models use a 1.00mm flex which then terminates into a socket, the likes of which can be disconnected easily by the user. The moulded socker outlet is unique to Numatic and therefore they will have had to strike a deal with a manufacturer who could model that socket, and then have the 13amp in the style of what that manufacturer is offering.

I too was cringing while trying to remove it. I kept debating whether to pull it harder or not and in the end I thought F**K it and just pulled it off. It is not something I will be doing on an on-going basis!!

Finally Alex you have something to give those carpets a really good deep clean, because deep down you know you need Henry. Henry, who better? Ok this joke is over 
In all seriousness that is a very nice machine and I generally like numatic cleaners (who doesn't?). In fact I'm half considering getting a James for general use so I can keep my Henry looking nice.
