Numatic are the best that money can buy. Powerful and last forever

[@anthonyfrancis2374]

I bought mine new in 2005 and he's still going strong in 2024 and I love to hoover!

[@HighTreason610]

Very interesting to see a US oriented take on a machine that is widespread and perennial over in England. The lack of power head is something I've always found a bit odd, as they made at least two over the years - a mains powered one (likely only ever for 250V systems) that drew from the PTO socket on older HVR200 models and, later, a lower voltage one on the HHR200. Perhaps some day they will produce another. In any case, I too can attest to the longevity of the Henry machines, given my own unit turned 30 only a few weeks ago. Short of general maintenance over the years, nothing has ever really broken on him aside from wearing the original floor tool down to almost nothing through years of regular abuse. The slightly dorky look is definitely misleading, as it's a seriously capable and long lived machine when used properly.

[@ashleys9711]

SO glad I found your channel! I was looking at buying a Shark Vertex, but went with the compact Henry after watching your videos. Feeling really good about this investment. I've never been so excited to start vacuuming lol. Thank you so much for a thorough review!

[@PerformanceReviews]

Thanks for watching. Enjoy your Henry!

[@bingobaz6402]

Very good indepth reviews. Very helpful. I am in the uk. It is helpful to know this is going to be a bit differernt. Appreciate you mentioning that. Means you done your research and know what you are talking about.

[@hollowellblake]

After watching your videos on him I bought one a few weeks ago and I think he is excellent mine is the 160

[@mikearrigo5674]

Henry is a great vacuum. I got mine in 2016, it's actually a two speed one but it does use the current motor I think, the motor only uses 680 watts but it has performance similar to much higher power motors. I think big Henry and little Henry use the same motor and the same bags. I think big Henry might have a longer cord. The one area where Henry is lacking is that it doesn't provide any direct way to use an electric power nozzle. I think there is a version available from Nacecare that can use a power nozzle but not sure. It would be interesting to make a video showing Henry paired up with one of the battery power nozzles. If you want to clean wall to wall carpet, I would suggest getting a battery nozzle, not a turbo brush.

[@dglcomputers1498]

We have a few Numatic's here, consisting of a 1.2kW 2007 Hetty (when they were a limited special edition), a 2016? George and a two year old Henry Cordless (brought to clean the car as we have nowhere to park the car outside where we live). My Brother also has my late grandma's 1987 Henry as his main vacuum.

[@craglabrake6802]

He is mighty and powerful! I am thinking of investing into a Henry after my 2012 Miele Topaz canister dies. Thank you for everything!

[@PerformanceReviews]

We can keep your s6 Topaz going as long as you want.

[@craglabrake6802]

@@PerformanceReviews oh wow thank you! I thought for some reason, after the 20 year mark that would be it for the machine. I hope it does last past 20 years.

[@megatronskneecap]

Us brits *looooveeeee* a Henry. A Henry, Dyson and Miele go down very nicley in my home. Tho because of BREXIT, we Nuematic haven't been able to get many supplies so quality is a bit all over the place. You could get a super decent one as I got or my friend literally got one with tapered hose that cracked in about a month (he only ever used it for stairs).

[@breckfarrar8663]

Will you do a video on how to add the ebk360 battery version to Henry? I have both the 1200watt 2 speed, and the 620watt 2 speed . I love my Henry and have added Wessle Werk Turbo head which works great, but want something a bit more powerful. Love watching your videos and your reviews..

[@bread-gz3rl]

I use the end as a upholstery tool and a bench cleaning device, great for sucking up small bits of wire too

[@elihughes9508]

[@RJA_World]

Henry's are great, my nan's had 2. One in 2004 ( one of the first with a 2 speed motor) and one in 2016 which is single speed. She loved both of them. My mum has a 160 model she bought earlier this year and loves it. You can't go wrong with them. They're reliable, powerful and suited to almost any job. Only thing I feel lets it down is it's shape and size, it can make it awkward in certain situations and storage solutions.

Ahh so you’ll understand the frustration of going into a room and this cheeky cu*t getting stuck on the door frame. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME

[@RJA_World]

[@Kubulek17]

[@shannonburke7346]

What about a factory warranty? How would I get it serviced under warranty if I buy from Amazon?

[@fracturedmind8124]

I absolutely love Henry. He looks like he was a character in The Brave Little Toaster. Though I don’t think Kirby would have liked him very much. I do just wish they would sell one with an electric nozzle. I know that they have made them before, the Henry Hound I believe. But I’ve searched high low for one in the US but I don’t think it was ever sold here. If they were to bring it back, I would be so on board.

[@jempro1674]

I'm only shown a 2 year warranty in the UK. Is it 5 years in the USA?

[@goodgremlinmedia2757]

Aww look at it. Don’t you just want to give it a hug?

[@_Lassic_]

The first time I saw this vacuum was in a Collin Furze video, and I thought it was a joke till I saw it on your channel lol.

[@Mhfksvbnjf]

I think that’s a great design ,understandable,par care ,allergy,200,160 great 👍

[@matthewbroom3969]

i have the hetty 200 and the henry 160 and I love her and him lol

[@catalinababy6068]

Is there a carpet attachment?

[@GlitteranGold]

I was doing housekeeping and they had one of these Henry’s and it wasn’t working so well. It hardly picked up the carpet that nicely then I decided to watch a video on Henry and it’s no wonder they probably didn’t empty the poor guys filter in who knows how long? Maybe they never have. I think something was clogging the vacuum and the one I used had a broken cord so they taped it? That could have been problem as well.

[@applianceman6009]

The Sebo X7 upright also has an Ametek Italia motor. The Sebo X5 and the Sanitaire Eon have a Domel motor. Those are all definitely durable motors.

[@sprockkets]

I thought Sebo went with Bosch. Huh.

[@catalinababy6068]

What about longer carpet piles

[@GlitteranGold]

I want a hetty one I think it would be so cute.

[@KubikCv]

Can it also vacuum fine construction dust? Or does the filter get clogged? I own a George and it's a great product.

[@PerformanceReviews]

That's a very broad term. It uses similar style bags to George.

[@KubikCv]

@@PerformanceReviews I know, I have George for wet car cleaning. For home use, I am considering Henry. After the renovation of the apartment, I need to vacuum the dust. So I'm not sure if the Henry filter will do it, or if I should borrow an industrial vacuum cleaner.

[@lewisner]

I work for a national cleaning company and as long as you use a bag the filter won't get clogged. If you don't use a bag the motor is likely to get clogged and fail.

[@nananikinas8864]

Anyone have tips on how to clean the floor tools hard comb/bristle lining? Once any of it catches dust it can be difficult to even pick any off. Thanks.

[@PerformanceReviews]

You're supposed to vacuum it off when you're done.

[@nananikinas8864]

@@PerformanceReviews of course, i feel dumb now, thanks!

[@margretreilly]

I'm concerned about the metal on the bottom of the floor tool. Will it scratch hardwood floors?

[@PerformanceReviews]

The metal sits about 10 mm off the floor and just the brushes and wheel make contact with the floor. The same tool is used by almost every vacuum cleaner company. If you are still concerned you could get a brush tool like this one shown in the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4KZk2qln9aHZ8U

[@margretreilly]

@@PerformanceReviews Thank you for your quick reply and many thanks for the video link. I think I will have to get one for when I buy my Henry.

[@DannyDL1ght]

Do you need to change that filter after a while?

[@PerformanceReviews]

It's typically lasts 5+ years

[@wichtelchen]

You can refresh the filter every once and while. Once the filter is dusty, bring your Henry to a friend who also owns a Henry and clean the filter of the one Henry by using the other Henry.

[@jasonwb6884]

Wouldnt a tapered house reduce suction. The suction is only going to be good as its widest diameter.

[@PerformanceReviews]

The tapered hose doesn't affect the section. It affects air flow. In this case it increases Air flow.

[@Carnivore99]

This vacuum sells for £129.99 in the UK, that converts to about USD $175. Why does it cost twice as much in the US? As you noted in your review, the construction is very simple and we can see it should not be that expensive.

[@PerformanceReviews]

UL certification, transportation, completely different electrical components then the UK. Again it has to be shipped halfway across the world. Hopefully that explains it to you

[@markhamill8016]

What do you think of the George hoover?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Are you referring to this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXCiaNoiqeLgaM

[@markhamill8016]

@@PerformanceReviews yes! Sorry just seen you had done a video on that!!! What do you think about it as a main house vac to be a one for all for vacuum for dry , wet , hard floor cleaning and car detailing? We only have a cordless dyson and need to get a corded vax and this one seems to do all we need and not have multiple machines

[@wichtelchen]

Overkill for domestic use unless you really need the extra capabilities George has. It's bulky and not really fun to use such a machine every day at home. Otherwise, just stick with regular red Henry.

I give these out as gifts

A Henry is the vacuum equivalent of a classic Land Rover Defender imo

[@PerformanceReviews]

But way more reliable and longer lasting.

[@Mustang-mb7cg]

Does the 160 have the same hour rating on the motor?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes, it has the same motor.

[@Mustang-mb7cg]

@@PerformanceReviews Thanks! Just bought it. Replacing the gifted Kirby my grandmother gave us a year ago, and somehow got conned into buying back in 2010. Hopefully it’s an upgrade as far as attachments go. Like the channel!

[@wichtelchen]

160 and 200 are equal quality. The only difference between them is the size of the shell. The internal parts, including the motor, are the exact same. 160 is more compact but 200 takes more dust per bag.

[@dvrklyrics]

Is this henry 110v?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes of course.

[@alyshaguzman4197]

The price makes me hesitant to buy it. Our current vaccine is on its last leg, and we need to get a new one. I’m just trying to find a vacuum that will last.

[@PerformanceReviews]

These machines are designed to last a very long time. I'd recommend the smaller compact version here's a video explaining the differences. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHmyeqyZZrCFm5I

[@Susan70003]

Does the James have a round exhaust port and is it able to be a wet n dry as well?

[@bread-gz3rl]

None of them have a blower and Charles is the wet/dry

[@PerformanceReviews]

No vacuum cleaners no longer include this as a feature. This was removed from most vacuum cleaners in the early 2000s because the amount of dust that can come out of those from doing that.

No they are not wet and dry. They are domestic house vacuums

This one is a very cringe worthy looking makes it harder for me to take it seriously as a really high tier brand/model.. in fact I was surprised it’s actually this good. Q: Not related to henry but can u help me understand the SBAN0 code in some miele models? I heard its a china model. And in general is made in china miele less desirable than made in Germany mode? Why?

Get one. Worth its money. Don't get fooled by its funny appearance - It's a decent vacuum!

[@upy0ur5]

Do you have all hard floors?

[@richardlamb2551]

I personally think it’s the worst machine we have ever purchased, I doesn’t pickup from the carpet you have to press down so hard before it wants to pick up, also the pipes constantly bangs against your paint work leaving marks,the multi is NOT fabulous it’s useless all in all I have felt like smashing it to bits just due to frustration. So it’s going and we will go back to a DYSON! SorryHenry YOUR FIRED!!

[@PerformanceReviews]

This is not designed to be used for carpets it's designed for hard floors and area rugs. You can purchase a separate turbo tool that sometimes it's a happy medium. If you were looking to go back to an upright vacuum I'd recommend you take a look at SEBO.

[@brandi5730]
