My first Numatic [NVR170]

[compuvac]

Hi everyone, happy new year!

Haven't been on vacuumland in a while but i recently got my first Numatic!
It's a NVR170-11 in dark gray (Numatic calls it Graphite).

It has the smaller compact sized bucket but also has a bumper and 4 slots on the back for on-board tool storage. The rating sticker for some reason doesn't show the motor wattage but I'm certain it's a 620W Lamb motor and it has very good suction. It comes with the standard Henry kit with the new recently introduced wessel-werk floor tool. It has a long power cord and good filtration and the tube fittings are 32mm so i can use any other tool i want.

Overall I think it's a great machine and I really like it.

I love this.

Never seen one in dark grey / black before. They are such good machines. Inexpensive and built to last forever.

@oliveoiltinfoil

Very good machines indeed!

I think the dark gray color is more common in other countries outside the UK as i have seen a few dark gray machines on the german Numatic website. [numatic.de]

Congrats! Numatics are wonderful machines! I have two and use one of them daily cleaning homes here in Wilmington. MY customers love the smiling face, too! Greg

Those models look very cool!

I think its because we in the UK are so used to seeing Red and Green ones, its quite a novelty them being black or grey, yet they look great!

numatic cleaners

Numatic makes great vacuums, simple design and works very well. The only thing they don't offer is an electric power nozzle but you could get one of the battery powered ones to use with it. I really enjoy my Henry cleaner.

Very powerful, and simple! But the best part is the comforting purr!

@n0oxy

battery power nozzle

There are a couple of different battery power nozzles. Here is one made by Perfect Products.

Would be nice if you could get these outside of the US. Not everyone lives there you see.

another battery nozzle

There's also the hide-a-hose CX1000, this is also known as the Volt nozzle.

Man I wish we got these in the United States.
We're stuck with red and pink .

@vacuumdevil

I feel you.

Numatic only opened officially in Spain in 2018 previously you either order it from a special dealer or you can import from the UK as the voltages are the same. I still havent seen any Henries, Hetties or Pacos at my local appliance store. Although one of my local cleaning supplies supplier recently started selling Numatics and thats where this NVR170 came from and actually dark gray was the only color in stock so i really was out of options lol.

I hope Numatics will become even more common in the future.

Also

Spain's tourist industry is very big so a lot of Brits come here and some stay to live here and some bring their 'hoovers' with them and that's how sometimes theres old Henrys for sale localy.

And since the voltage here is practically the same all you have to do is adapt the plug.
