5 Ways to Avoid BREAKING Your Numatic Henry Vacuum

[@vacuumhelp]

I recently repaired a Henry that a student had used to unblock a toilet. 💩 😮 😢

Oh that's a new one!! Classic

[@TheMercury-13]

My Henry just 'died' overnight; I had it 17yrs 2nd hand & was unaware of it's full age, amazed to find it's actually *33 YEARS* old-!! 1991. It worked great all that time & survived at least 2 falls down wooden stairs, obviously 33yrs is a good innings but I wish I'd followed the 'unwind cable fully when in use' & overall treated it gentler! Hope the newer 1s are as well built, I've grown quite fond of the old, slightly battered & faded beige/brown Henry I adopted! 🤎

That's a true classic! Great story. Could you send me any pictures of this Henry? I think it's worthy of a mention in our next Henry video that's coming soon.

Don't understand the bit about unwinding the cord? How does it cook?

Using a bag also helps to keep the motor healthy, if you use it bag less you are shorting the life of the motor

[@sourcesupplies]

Absolutely. No bag is bad news for many reasons, this being the main one! Thanks for the idea and comment

[@redtoadengineering9226]

Using no bag won't harm it, but unless your using it as a shop vac, just use a bag.

[@sourcesupplies]

Controversial! Sure, it works without a bag. But it won’t last as a long and is a messy business.

Do not vacuum wet surfaces is a HUGE tip. Especially if you lend your Henry out to someone. It very much looks like a ShopVac, so the confusion is understandable.

[@sourcesupplies]

Happens all the time! The wet vac (known as George here in the UK) is a great machine and good value for money. Deep cleaning washrooms is easy with a wet vac.
