New For 2017 - Numatic Henry Cordless HVB160-12

[alexhoovers94]

Hello all,

So, last Thursday I took the slightly impulse dissension to purchase the new Henry Cordless!

I got the new cordless Henry from Argos, the "magical catalogue shop" we all remember as kids! Lol...The lady on the till, (Ann, I believe her name badge read) had a rather disconcerting look about her, as she charged my debit card for £299.99. I got it home and quickly realised after I unboxed it, that Henry Cordless was actually based on the (also new) Henry Compact HVR160, in terms of size, as it was smaller than the regular Henry HVR200.

I love this new cordless Henry, I can't get over how cute it looks! It is the most powerful cordless vacuum I have ever used, it really does pack a punch, in my opinion, while using only a 36v battery and a 300w motor.

It is very well made, of course, like all Numatic products, made right here in the UK!

Here is the unboxing video if any of you are interested, if not, look for the photos further down.

The demo video will follow after the photos.



Thanks for reading,

Alex.

I've never had a Henry.

Probably because I don't live in the U.K, But aren't they more widely known? I'm very curious.

It is interesting that the Henry Cordless has the older style twin pedal carpet and floor nozzle and not the newer type one.

Here you can see Henry Cordless has the new moulded on "wand docking" and on-board tool storage!

The other models in the Henry range, as well as Hetty and Harry, also have these features.

The battery sits where the cord rewind would normaly be and is realised for charging by pressing the red button.[this post was last edited: 4/18/2017-20:35]

Got myself a nice early one here...Week 5 of 2017!

Unlike the other Henry models, Henry Cordless is twin speed, and also has a very bright LED "battery power indicator".

Here is a good close up of new design "wand dock" and tool storage pegs.

What a great vacuum for cleaning the interior of a car!!!!

How long is the run time between charges?

Enjoy your new toy!

 

[alexhoovers94]

Hehe thanks! I am still loving it!

Each battery lasts 20-30 minutes and you get two!

What an adorable new version of Henry! I'm glad the initial impressions of his cleaning power are so positive. While we don't see much of him stateside (apart from cruise ships) I've always been impressed by it and Numatic as a company.

Excellent battery system - the vac can be stored in a closet where there is no power supply while the battery packs charge up somewhere else.

Two more questions, if I may: a. do you think airflow would be strong enough for a mini turbo nozzle for car interiors and stairs? b. are lithium batteries difficult for municipalities to safely dispose of? I've always been a bit leery of the environmental impact of all these batteries from cordless devices.
