Henry's brother!
Hi Hans,
What's the difference from the Henry model?
Hi Hans,
What's the difference from the Henry model?
This is the closest
To a Apex Strato Cleaner power wise as anything I have ever seen. It even sounds the same. The best attachment setup I have ever seen. Very similar to a early lewyt. The curved wand is removable from the hose and the attachments can be used with or without it. The wands are aluminum like an airway all this and great filtration and it makes my Turbocat SCREAM this is truly the only new vacuum I have found that I have got excited over. If I ever had a vac shop. This is what I would sell

O.K. I took one to Hans went I visited recently! We had more fun with it and used several different turbo's on it including the Compact Turbonette (which I want!).
The difference between the James and the Henry are as Hans said, smaller container size equals less bag capacity and no cord real which adds weight. The power plant (using a Kirby term) is THE SAME! The Henry also has heavier stainless wands. I really enjoy the lighter weight of the James wands when I use it 2-4 hours daily cleaning homes. The cord length on both is 30 ft. Both use the same hepa bag. Quiet too! Dusting brush and upholstery too have clips on machine and if you use the genuine Numatic combo tool, it has a clip on the back.
Ask more questions! Greg

In the US the Numatic line of vacuums is often sold thru commercial vacuum and janitor supply places.

No idea why Numatic machines over there are so expensive.... James retails around £109 British pounds / $139 dollars in the UK. A Henry is the same price pretty much..... you can usually pick a Henry up for £100 over here.
The top of the range Henry Xtra that comes with 3 full size floor heads (straight suction, full size turbo brush and parquet nozzle) is currently on offer for £120 / $153 in the UK.
Numatic are designed as commercial machines and while they are very popular in the domestic market over here they are also equally popular in the commercial market and with tradespeople such as builders who need machines to clean up after themselves.
Quiet running, super reliable and very robust along with really cheap consumables make them really popular.

I've seen a few on Craigslist in the last couple of years here in the U.S. They don't always have the googly eyes pasted on with a name...... but a magic marker and a pad of facial stickers from the craft store can fix that. lol.
Still one of my fav. Henry vids from a Youtuber I still follow, lol. "Why I (H)ate (H)enry:
Henry, George, James, Hetty,.......Eugenie, Pat, Robert, Dennis, and the whole inbred lot is quite popular in the UK. lol.
I want to get a George carpet cleaner which can do both wet and dry, and pair it with a Bissell rotating brush upholstery tool.

I imagine the reason why the Numatics are expensive here is because of the 120-volt motor and North American cord and plug that must be installed. Not sure if these are installed in the UK, or at the Nacecare facility in Toronto, Canada. In any case, the proportion of vacs created for the North American market must be miniscule compared to the numbers created for 220volt Europe. So the added expenses and shipping and packaging are probably driving up the prices here. And because there are so few suppliers in the USA and Canada, these are marketed as special commercial machines. After all, we see no advertising for them, and you can’t even get them at Home Depot or Best Buy or even Costco.
