Numatic International - George GVE370

Numatic George. Not cheap but it’s a 15litre capacity regular vacuum and a wet vac/carpet/upholstery cleaner. It’s also quiet.

Very very few machines do that. Usually, they end up being pretty bad at one job or the other. Numatic George technically can do that. It's like a cross between a canister vac, shop vac, and carpet washer. While it has great suction, as a vacuum its pretty bulky and loud. As a carpet cleaner, it's very clumsy and takes a lot of effort to use. It's large, has a lot of parts to store, and takes time switching from one function to the other. No machine can switch between those functions on the fly. Best approach is to budget for a separate good vacuum and separate good carpet cleaner.

Henry for home, George for work. Numatic hoovers are built to last, powerful and made in the UK too. What’s not to like.

Thats a good option but id rather invest in a numatic George (they're like 900$ but will probably outlive you if you take care of it) so you've got shop vac shit and a carpet cleaner

100% shop vac. If you’re in Europe a popular one are those red or green Henry/George vacs. Afaik the green one can do wet vacuum too. Some shop vacs use bags that help with suction and disposing but they aren’t necessary to function.

It’s crazy how much more expensive Numatic machines are over there. They’re really quite cheap / offer excellent value for money in the UK. My mains powered Numatic vacuum was only £150. And the Henry Xtra cylinder machine has just been on offer for about £130.

Over engineered and complicated, an absolute pig to work on as well. Miele for premium brand is much better or Numatic for budget (imo anyway)

Eigen ervaring is dat zowel de draadloze als de robotstofzuiger meer gedoe zijn dan het waard is. Na die experimenten een Numatic gekocht, en die doet het gewoon - als er iets kapot is, dan is het te repareren.

Al sinds de vorige eeuw een Numatic en hij zuigt nog steeds de tapijttegels van de vloer als ik niet oplet.

Buy a Numatic, they are by far the best.

You forgot it's about 100 times quieter... Shop Vacs are insanely loud. Numatics are one of the more quiet vacuums out there.

Numatic have a reputation for lasting decades. Also fully serviceable.

I would not add Johnny vac or Airstream to that list. Riccar currently they're only a decent product with the S10 . I would add Nilfisk, Numatic,VacuFlo,MD as good vacuums to that list. We all know about the troll that has been recently lurking. I suspect this post is a response to that.

Numatic! Robuust en de zak gaat lang mee. Blijkbaar ook goed repareerbaar en niet zo fragiel als Dyson

Numatic is literally unkillable.
