Product Information

Of course Charles also comes complete with a crevice tool, that is great for cleaning those hard-to-reach surfaces. Although due to the size of his hose you may not need to use this attachment as much as you normally would. British manufacturer Numatic International has expanded the Henry Hoover range over the years to provide their first vacuum cleaner with some much needed company. There’s now fourteen different products in the Henry range, including a number of different Henry Hoover names which make up the Henry Hoover family. There’s Hetty, who’s also known as the female Henry Hoover, as well as James, Harry, George and Charles, the latter two which are wet and dry vacuums. Charles comes with other tools that you’d expect to see from a Numatic hoover, including a soft d usting brush floor tool which is great for cleaning the more delicate surfaces such as tables or soft furnishings. The dusting brush helps to prevent damage to those types of surfaces. At 8kg plus a full bag, the Henry Xtra is not to be taken lightly and is best suited for those who need the extra capacity and don’t mind the slightly heavier overall weight.

Humans far outnumber robots, one of which is employed every 30 seconds to lift an assembled Henry into a box for dispatch. “We do a different job every hour,” says Stevenson, who started out making Henry in around 1990. The Henry line is the busiest in the factory. Elsewhere I meet Paul King, 69, who is about to retire after 50 years at Numatic. Today he’s making attachments for a ride-on floor scrubber. “I worked on Henry years ago but they’re too fast for me on that line these days,” he says after turning down his radio. Henry Cordless (HVB160) - A more compact version of the standard Henry model running off two 36-volt batteries, 6-litre capacity. [12] An all-in-one vacuum cleaner, Charles wet and dry is one of only two vacuums from the Henry Hoover range that has been built to clean on both dry and wet surfaces. George Hoover is the other all-in-one vacuum from Numatic, and the two vacuums share a number of similarities. Stair cleaning is not a problem with Charles, as although he’s bulky he has an extra long reach which means you can leave him at the bottom of the stairs and clean a full flight of stairs with ease. The Henry range have tremendous amounts of colour to them – but only one (very distinctive) style. If it has that big happy face, if the nose is the vacuum hose, and if it perpetually, moronically, and frustratingly never stops grinning? It’s a Henry.

Charles in the dry

William WVC370 - William is essentially a cheaper Charles, his toolkit incorporated plastic wands oppose to stainless steel. It can clean wet spills, dry dust, scrub carpets, and clean upholstery. Essentially it is a 4-in-1 carpet cleaner and vacuum. Henry (and Hetty) Compact (HVR160 and HET160) - Smaller and more compact versions of the standard Henry models, 6-litre capacity. [11] Of course it wouldn’t be a Henry vacuum cleaner without mentioning appearance. Charles wet and dry is a blue vacuum, different to George who is green. But both come with a smiling face that is synonymous with Numatic.

James JVC225 - released in 1985, James had the top half of a Henry HVR200 and the bottom half of an NV250. Only available in grey, James JVC225 had a cable hook to store the cable. Because of his robust nature, he was tailored to the commercial market. Production ran from 1985 to 1988. a b c Goodhart, Maud (3 February 2017). "Design classic: Numatic's Henry vacuum cleaner". Financial Times.Basil NB200 - Yellow, lower-cost version of Henry which was also available in red, blue and green. Its colour was later changed to lime green when it was re-released as a Halloween special edition on 10 July 2005, discontinued by the end of the year. If you’re looking for a straightforward cylinder vacuum that won’t let you down, the Henry is a great choice for carpets and hard floors. While it can be unwieldy to use on stairs and doesn’t have many advanced features, it has excellent filtration, strong suction power and provides great value. The vacuum cleaner has several variations, including different names on the cap (including Hetty, Harry and James) as well as different models designed for different applications. [2] The model was introduced in 1981, continues in production, and sells well, despite the fact that Numatic never advertises Henry and retains no PR agency.

The wet and dry, the pet hair, and the larger models all use a one-size-fits-all-capacities bag. It makes it easier to shop.
