Well I thought i'd share this one with you guys since it's such an odd little vac. Firstly, it may look familiar to some of you because the basic design has been been sold as a commercial spray extraction machine under various names including Hoover, Taski, Truvox etc etc.

What makes this one slightly different is the fact it has a cool little attachment on the front that converts it into a dry pick up cleaner with water filtration. It's very simple, it uses the pump to spray incoming dirt with a mist of water which traps it. It is then drawn into the dirty water bucket. it's very effective and works surprisingly well. It's also pretty easy to maintain unlike some water filtration vacuums, you simply empty the bucket and give it a rinse and its ready for the next use.

of course, it can be converted easily back to a very effective spray extraction machine too. Take a look at the link to a video of it in action….

Nice score! These machines are very expensive to buy new, and the hallucinogenic graphics on the container are a hoot too.

I know on the conventional 3-in-1 version, the black recovery spout can be removed and a dust bag fits in its place for dry vacuuming. Is the same possible with this model, or is it strictly water filtration only? Would be even better if it could be used either way.

Hey Ryan....just wondering, is this company that manufactures this cleaner also responsible for the Numatic Henry tub cleaners?? That hose looks VERY similar to what is supplied with the Henry's I have seen advertised in North America, & that extraction cleaner head looks identical to what is supplied with the Numatic George.

hi guys,

No this ones purely water filtration only, the black spout is fixed

It's not got any links to Numatic (the people who make Henrys) I got the Aquapearl without tools so I converted it use standard Numatic 32mm tools. The extraction kit is from my old Numatic Nuvac which after many years of service, failed on me the other day

Looks like the numatic nhl15

 

[ryry_87]

yeh its pretty much the same design really

 

[jord123]

I saw your nv200 on ebay did you sell it

 

[beko1987]

A friend of mine has an ancient one of those, they are great machines! Love the funky paint job, or has it been sticker-bombed?

 

[ryry_87]

I had two NV200's, I kept the better one and sold the other.

It's a wrap around sticker by the look of it, looks cool all the same lol

 

[jord123]

Could you do a vid of your harry

 

[turbo500]

I think Ryan already has a video up featuring Harry? It's one of his Christmas clean up videos, IIRC.

 

[jord123]

Yes but he did i would really like to see a video of it vacuuming with the hairobrush

 

[dysondestijl]

I think he sold the harry

 

[jord123]

Oh ok

Cleanfix actually produce a lot of vacuums that other brands have used (e.g Karcher) or make (spot the SEBO). Our school has a similar canister, in red with the dome part. The suction tube and handle are similar to Numatic but they're not the same as the handle has a straight part. Just found it on the web...

The Swiss Numatic

I recently searched some info on this brand. They are Swiss and manufacture their stuff in Switzerland.

They have a interesting dry commercial tub vac. The Cleanfix S10

I know It looks like a nilco/fakir but it's actually different.

I provided a link to their about video on their youtube channel. It's a good video.
