Can we please stop banging on about Dyson?
AMEN TO THAT! Thank God you said that before I did, Nar
.
Seriously, does every single friggin' conversation have to have friggin' Dyson injected into it at high speed by the same friggin' people every friggin' time? That's too many friggin's, but you get what I mean.
Slightly disapointing that Numatic no longer include the handy tool bag. Does anyone know if you can still buy it online?

And there we go again, boys and girls, the same members throwing Dyson into the conversation where they don't need to be.
It's not recommended to suck water up with a Dyson, Tayyab. Mostly because the minute the water hits the top cyclones, it's going to get the filter wet and suck through into the motor. And then what? BANG. You should know that.
Having said that, you did just tell someone to "egg your facts right" and there's so much wrong with the sentence, I don't even know where to start. Gives a good insight into the level of intellectuals we have posting on here, doesn't it?

Congrats on your new Henry! That hose is interesting, I've never seen another one like it supplied with a Numatic.

To my knowledge, a lot of those AA/ recovery motoring companies who help out motorists that inadvertently fill up their petrol led cars with diesel by mistake (and vice versa) and also the TA, swear by Numatics vacs that can suck out the fuel from car tanks. Of course one would imagine that it might be a Charles but also that the filter/motor would be properly protected.
Not that I am suggesting anything about sucking up fuel with a Dyson. I think any liquid and any electrical appliance is utter madness UNLESS the design purposefully allows liquid pick up, and even then you may still have to take precautions.

Goodness me, Parwaz786, you seem very hostile. You seem to only go on about dyson, yet this is a vacuum forum, not a dyson forum so have a little input in other makes of vacuums. Dysons, like Apple products (no mention of the new iPhone 6 anyone are incredibly over priced and over rated. They are not terrible and some of their designs are quite thoughtful, but they are very over priced and the owners of the companies are quite corrupt and dis-honest to their customers, but hey, like beats headphones, because it is "a dyson" with fancy packaging a letter written on the side of the box so you know its a state of the art product, it must be fantastic.
Anyways, I love how we are all referring to our Numatics as he's and she's. I am going to get a John or Lewis in John lewis tomorrow as I need something tough and easy to use on my garage as it gets dusty through sanding and a few cobwebs etc, also be good for doings the cars I guess. Glad you like it ! And they are also British everything! Built, design and manufactured !!

Parwaz,
Now you and I do get on very well but please. This is not about Dyson. If you want to go ahead and suck up water. & use a Dyson for commercial use then go ahead. They won't cover it under warranty. You have seen my experience with their machines. Enough said on that one mister.
That Henry looks amazing and I took am impressed they are produced in the UK in sunny Somerset, though I'd still like them even if produced in the Far East as the quality would be fine I'm sure. It's just knowing they invest in the UK factory force gives it that edge for me. These machines are incredibly robust and the suction is amazing for such a low wattage machine. Well done to Numatic for producing a lovely machine. That video clip is interesting too! I do remember a little kid being scared of those big eyes and smiley face ha ha)

That Henry cap is ADORABLE!....I feel as if I lost some of my manly-ness by saying that!
I don't think Dyson is a bad guy, but I also don't think his products live up to their expectations. I have yet to try a newer model, and rely on others experiences with them, and my own experiences with the Dysons I have owned in the past. The DC07, The DC14 and the DC17 all failed to impress me. I don't hate Dyson, hate is a strong word. Part of me wants to go out there and buy the latest Dyson, to see what they are like for myself. But another part of me wants to stay loyal to the Kirbys, Hoovers and etc. That has served me right in the past.
..back to Nunatic, using the vacuum as a tank-emptier sounds like as bad an idea as the Lewyt Electronic! Has anyone seen the show '1,000 ways to die'? In one episode they showed two morons stealing fuel with a shop-vac...guess how it ended? Boom! Reminds me of the 'in-home Lipo-Suction' episode,I won't go into details, but they made sure to have a clear tube on the vacuum!

Well, I finally gave in : ) I knew that I would either buy a Lewis or a Henry - and it has to be Henry.
Like Matt I also received the Wessel Werk plastic sole plate floor head. It weighs around 650 grams compared to the Metal based soleplate sold also by Nilfisk which I bought online. Fits perfectly and the metal one weighs 700 grams. The metal plate aids gliding and doesn't feel as rough as the plastic one. Both floorheads have snap fit tool slider collars for the tool park at the back of Henry, so it's only a matter of swapping the collars around.
Only for the moment the John Lewis ones appear to come with metal sole plate based suction only floor heads. Also took the opportunity in NOT using the generic cleaning tools that come with Numatic. Would rather save them and use up the spare tools I have from other brands - crevice and pull down reversible upholstery tool and brush taken from my old Vax Mach Air.
I got one bag fitted and 3 spare HEPA Flo dust bags. Very happy owning Henry - he's just like my old James model but with longer hose and at last the cord rewind roller. He is a bit quieter at 580 watts and only a little lighter to lift. My tubes haven't fallen off yet - its a matter of screwing them ever so tightly to ensure a tight fit.
Even better now are the main locking slider mechanisms at the sides - they're not as plasticky thin and painful on the hands, so little by little Numatic have made improvements here and there.

Sebo fan any chance you could take a picture of the box.I decided to get Henry extra it came in a standard box not like the box you're supposed to get quite disappointed as I always like to keep the box. Or you could just tell me if your boxes is just the standard box I was quite disappointed as I've always loved Henry's boxes

The box that the eco/Henry HVR200-A2 comes in is in the same box that Matt got his in. Its the same model as Matt's.
I also notice that the tubes at the top/bent handle seems to be thinner or more tapered than older ones.

It depends on what you term as Modern. To my mind, Henry isn't a modern vacuum cleaner - he is beyond modern! He's something different - He's a traditional tried and tested commercial model with only a few differences made for the domestic market - Less so now perhaps that the troublesome Hi/Lo switch has been removed.
Still today, there aren't as many well built alternatives that can offer the same excellent sealed suction and massive dust bag capacity not to mention widespread availability of bags or spares.
There are so many advantages to owning Henry - but in my opinion, only if you have the space to accomodate him. I'd have liked to have seen that "running" LED light have a change of colour like SEBO to indicate when the bag needs replacing or when there's a clog. That would have been more modern. Also a few more tool clips or something similar to the crevice/dust brush combination.
There is nothing wrong with any of Henry's tools - but you have to limit the 4 that you get to the 1 you will need the most and slide it onto the hook on the main body.
I was impressed the first time when I bought my first Numatic - the yellow James with the open tool caddy at the top and where the cord could be either lasso'd over the top or collected all up and stashed at the top, clumsily. The original James had a shorter hose and lighter aluminium tubes, but in my experience, the lighter aluminium ones were more difficult to remove than Henry's stainless steel ones. I think the newer ones still have the same kind of tooling, but the whole range now benefits from the Wessel Werk suction floor heads.
