Numatic George opinions

[Scaniabebe]

Ah, Numatic...

Been a Numatic user, I am fairly experianced with these machines. I own a 2011 HVR200-A and a GVE180, I must say, the George is a very good vac.

But, I may suggest that with your purchase, you buy a Numatic Airo Brush for use on carpets, as with the higher power of George, the airdriven brush spins much faster and grooms the carpet more.

George also does very well at cleaning carpets, my carperts are about a year old and the bedroom carpet, got a whole Canister full of Black, sludgy water!:S

Still, I would definatly encorage you to purchase, as it'll last you years, and does a very good job at cleaning!

I think you'll find then, that even if Numatic have an impeccable reliability record, that every manufacturer is falling into the warranty game whether their products need it or not. Our original Sebo X1 A didn't have the 5 year warranty from Sebo because Sebo didn't offer that, back then. I think it came with a 1 or 2 year guarantee but in all its 15 or so many years, it never had to be returned and never suffered a fault apart from its original drive belt breaking, which was totally my fault!

Hello

Thanks very much to all for all the comments & opinions they've definitely helped !

After a great deal of deliberation it looks like the way forward might be to buy a dedicated carpet cleaner (Bissell) & possibly get a Numatic Charles wet & dry at a later date (Charles could take care if necessary of any leaks etc).I might even buy the Charles second-hand.

The dedicated cleaner I like is the Bissell Cleanview Reach, as they look like fairly decent carpet cleaners (I hope ?) & have a revolving brush bar so it should make it easier/ more efficient than suction only. They are also on offer at reduced price in several places & as it won't get hammered or over-used i'm hoping will last a decent time.

Hopefully with my normal vacuums, the Bissell & at some point a Charles that should cover everything !

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave


As the owner of a Bissell carpet upright, I was shocked to discover that Bissell's upright washers aren't like normal upright vacuum cleaners - I assumed that the suction channel would be behind the roller brush, but, in actual fact the suction channel is in front of the roller brushes, thus the brushes just continuously roll. If you have new carpets, you'll find that the roller constantly clogs up, so just be aware of that. The brush roll is just there for agitation.


 


If you are going to buy a Bissell upright washer, make sure you buy one with a hose - it is a lot more practical and far easier to use for spot cleans than trusting in the bigger floor head itself.
