Numatic Henry Vacuum Cleaner HVR200/P |
|---|
| message from Bill on 21 May 2004 |
Have been looking on the internet to buy a Henry and see that the 200P (200
Plus) is some £20 dearer than the HVR200. Despite extensive Googling
however, and a visit to the Numatic site, I'm no wiser about what you get
for the extra money. I suspect it's something to do with extra filtering but
would be grateful for any enlightenment.
With thanks
Bill

Go for the Dyson with heppa filter. My partner and I used to both
suffer from a mild dust alergy. It went when we got a Dyson.
At work we have a Henry vac that the cleaners mainly use and a Dyson.
It is amazing what the Dyson will pick up that the Henry mises.

The Henry 200 Plus has a HEPA filter. And is still about half the price.
And reliable.

Although there is a noticable loss of suction power with the Nenry
after a very short amount of use.

Give over...
Henry's are better than Dysons. ;-)

I hope so cos on the advice of this newsgroup (and having knackered
three ancient vacuum cleaners in six months by doing DIY) I just
bought a Henry
When it is in action it has a high pitched whine. Is this a feature or
a bug? It works perfectly well

Hmm, thats not my experience with Henry at all. The only noticable drop-off
in suction occurs when the bag is getting very full. Incidentally, I fail
to see how even a cyclone cleaner such as a dyson can advertise no loss of
suction ever. Surely when the collector is full it is full, and suction
_must_ drop off?
Even with a three-quarters full bag my missus managed to suck up one of my
thick walking socks with Henry before she noticed what was happening...
Also shredded some old voile curtains when they got sucked up by a negligent
henry operator....
You sure that henry's filter is properly set up such that the plastic insert
is the correct way up and retained by the elastic straps provided? Suction
was adversely affected when I forgot to put the insert in there once.

I would be amazed if this were true, AFAIK nothing sucks like a henry,
people tend to look at dysons through rose tinted dyson glasses.

It simply has the finer version of the filter (forget the technical
name) that is good for asthmatics, etc. You can buy that filter
separately for about 25 quid if you ever want to 'upgrade'.
ISTR I asked Numatic about this a while ago - or someone here did. I
can't remember if it was me - at my age I have a few bad sectors!

Many thanks Bob - that confirms what I suspected! I am only too aware of,
and sympathise with, all symptoms of 'increasing maturity'. Take care;
there's
not enough of us out there although I'm sure younger heads might argue the
opposite!
