About this deal

The Henry vacuum cleaner range covers a number of price points. The more expensive models, like the George, do more things than the models that don’t cost as much. Adversely, the cheapest Henry Vacuum is likely to be the original version. You would think that you paid less for less dustbin capacity (like what you get with the James, where you sacrifice dustbin space for storage) but this isn’t the case. What is a Class Rating? The cleaner also comes with a bunch of tools and add-ons: including smaller brushes, a thin crevice tool and different sized steel tubes. There’s no supplied bag or space in/around Henry to put them, though. Regardless, they’re a tight fit, without the need for suction clips or the like, and didn’t slip off during testing. Henry Hoover review: Verdict

Henry (and Hetty) Compact (HVR160 and HET160) - Smaller and more compact versions of the standard Henry models, 6-litre capacity. [11]Henry is manufactured by Numatic International at a factory in the town of Chard, in Somerset. The company was founded in Crewkerne in 1969, and initially employed just six people who made the first vacuums using oil drums and washing-up bowls. You can still see evidence of this in Henry’s drum-like body and plastic hat. Numatic moved several times over the years, eventually arriving in Chard in 1990. Beresford, Philip (24 October 2014). "Britain's Top 100 Entrepreneurs 2014: No. 96 - Christopher Duncan, Numatic". Management Today.

It has a useful hi/low feature which allows you to switch seamlessly between the more powerful 1,200w and a lower 600w mode. It’s a great way to manage your electricity use. For most jobs, 600w will be more than enough power to get the job done, but occasionally, for really stubborn tasks, you might want to switch up to the more powerful 1,200w. This allows you to do just that. In the light of recent European legislation, though, Numatic have released a less powerful 620w model, but they’ve put in a huge effort to tune this up so despite the power drop you still get excellent performance – capable of meeting any job. George GVE370 - George replaced Nuvac NVE3, the All in One Carpet Cleaner. Originally released with a plastic toolkit in 1989 and in green up until 1992, it was later changed to stainless steel. Welcome to the internet’s most comprehensive resource for the Henry hoover and his family. Firstly, we would like to say that you have made a great choice in choosing a vacuum cleaner that has proven to be massively popular not only with domestic users, but also with commercial users alike. While the traditional Henry has an A class energy efficiency rating, other models don’t match it. The worst is actually the Harry, which has a C class energy efficiency rating. It is important because a higher consumption vacuum cleaner will use more, costing you more in power. They aren’t as environmentally friendly either, so if being E-friendly is important to you the basic Henry is the better model. Size & ShapeEveryone struggling with storage space needs to consider size limitations before they buy from the Henry vacuum cleaner range. The smaller models will work best for smaller homes – but come with less dust bin capacity. We recommend the Henry Micro for smaller homes. The largest of the Henry vacuums is the George, which is a 4-in-1… although the Charles comes close. Colour & Style Charles CVC370 - Larger blue wet-and-dry vacuum with a 15-litre dry and a 9-litre wet capacity which was also available in red, green and yellow at one time. In the late 1980s, this model and some others were also manufactured in cream-and-brown. [17] [18] Wendy NV250 - Numatic's first "female" vacuum cleaner. Green, introduced on 3 January 1997 as a Machine Mart exclusive, now discontinued on 4 December 2020. [22]

David DVR200 - Green, introduced alongside George and another green vacuum with a 15-litre capacity called "William" on 5 February 1990 as model DVR200, now discontinued. William was a lower-cost version of Charles, discontinued after a short time. [21]

How to choose the right Henry vacuum for you

AiroBrush140 - Compact, lightweight and powerful, the AiroBrush140 boasts all the powerful cleaning technology of the AiroBrush — just in a smaller size! Perfect for spotless stairs, sofa, car seats and all those other awkward spots. 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. Some features such as the turbo brush and mini pet turbo tool are only included with certain models of Henry. But they are available to buy as an add-on and are compatible with some of the most popular Henry vacuum cleaners. Harry is a lot like his older brother Henry except he’s been design specifically for pet lovers. So, if you have a few four-legged friends running around this could be for you. However, is Henry the right vacuum for you? Vacuum cleaner tech has progressed massively since Henry’s inception and the cordless vacuum cleaner has risen in popularity, with Dyson’s lightweight and powerful models – quite literally– leading the charge.

a b "The History of Henry: From humble beginnings to household name". Henry. Numatic International . Retrieved 13 June 2021. David DVR200 - David is essentially a cheaper Henry HVR200, his toolkit incorporated plastic wands oppose to stainless steel. David DVR200 ran from 1989–1992. The Harry Hoover was the last member of the family to come to life, he was introduced for pet owners who needed a vacuum cleaner specifically to deal with pet hair and the unfortunate “pong” that pet hair can sometimes leave in your vacuum cleaner. When he was first introduced he had a 1200W two stage vacuum motor.This was fitted with a “hi-lo” switch so that you could alter the performance of the vacuum between two different power levels when required. In 1981 "Henry" became the first Numatic International model to have a name on its cap. [3] [4] Henry was also one of the first vacuums to use large-capacity microfibre dust bags known as HEPA-FLO bags, made of a material that retains dust and is stronger than the paper usually used, which can tear. [2] Bored office cleaners were talking to Henry in night shifts. From then sales took off. While Numatic are careful never to use the trade name, Henry was often informally called, alliteratively, the "Henry hoover". Duncan commented "We turned an inanimate object into an animate object". Since the introduction of Henry in 1981, at least 10 million units had been sold worldwide by 2017. [2] [5] In 2021 sales were increasing by a million units per year. [1]

One of the great aspects of this is its allergy retention, which is great for those of us who start sneezing every time the dust gets agitated.
