Henry. They're amazing little hoovers. They store away well. Powerful. And so cute! I have a Henry. I've also had a James. They last forever too.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Our Dyson was shite. Bits snapped off it, the suction was pathetic. Threw that fucker out. Got a Numatic James. Henry's pervy cousin.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->Numatic Henry/James/similar. Buy an extra long hose, or have a vac shop make one up for you, and customise it with any standard 1.25" attachments that take your fancy. That's what I used for extended dusting jobs back when I cleaned houses for a living. Powerful, quiet (important for longer tasks such as this), and simple with no frills.
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum to use for dusting the entire house ->Numatic, wij hebben een james en die doet het al jaren naar tevredenheid. We hebben 2 honden en een kat, hij heeft eigenlijk geen problemen met de hoeveelheid haar. Hij heeft grote zakken en groot bereik met het snoer. Ding is super robuust en ligt niet elke keer op z'n rug (wat z'n Philips voorganger wel elke keer deed). Onderdelen zijn makkelijk te krijgen, dus repareren is niet heel moeilijk.
r/Nederland • Welke stofzuiger raden jullie aan? ->Numatic, wij hebben nu een James. Alle andere zijn toch redelijk snel kapot (binnen 2 jaar). We zijn hier chronisch aan het verbouwen, hebben honden en een kat. James maakt het allemaal niks uit. Hij is nu 5 jaar, onlangs hebben we het snoer vervangen, daar was een breuk in gekomen door mijn schuld. Voor 20 euro doet hij het weer. Hij zuigt prima, heeft een groot bereik (lang snoer), voldoende mondstukken en ligt niet heel snel omver oid. Vervangende onderdelen zijn makkelijk te regelen en uiteindelijk is hij zo simpel in elkaar gezet, dat vervangen ook niet heel moeilijk is. Hij kijkt altijd blij, ook een voordeel.
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->I have an industrial numatic, believe it would be James if named and it's marvellous. Bought it as refurb on ebay because I can't be doing with these less powered shit ones on the market now.
r/UK_Pets • Recommendations for a hoover that’s good for pet hair? ->Anything from numatic. Had a shark, cost about £170 new, lasted 6 months before needing a non-servicable part to be replaced which meant replacing the whole bottom half of the hoover. Was going to cost £130. Threw the heap of shit in the bin and dug the old 25 year old Numatic James out of the shed and have been using it ever since.
r/AskUK • Hoovers. What are you using and why? ->Henry all day. Our shark lasted 6 months before needing a part replacing that cost 2/3rds the cost of a new machine. Went in the bin. Our numatic James is about 25 years old at this point and still going strong.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->I definitely remember the adjustment from powered carpet head to straight suction. I switched from a Miele to a Numatic James because the cost of genuine Miele bags started to add up. I think we're lucky most of clients have newer builds and have hard floors and rugs rather than wall-to-wall carpet (Canadian Prairies). 9 years in with James and it only needed a switch and power cord replaced.
r/housekeeping • Best vacuum for the job? ->A Henry or Numatic James would be a good choice as they're simple and rugged
r/VacuumCleaners • Need help picking a vacuum for a 2,000 sq ft community center (mostly tile)— Miele C1, C2, SEBO, Henry or something else? ->Get the Numatic version of the Henry called James. It's exactly the same apart you manually wind the cable round a top handle. It's about 3 kilos lighter and same power.
r/AskUK • Which hoover would you choose and why? ->These are terrible vacuums. The single cyclone design makes the filter clog up quickly and bagless vacuums are more maintenance and don't last as long. If you're in Europe there are many bagged canisters available from AEG, Bosch, Electrolux, Numatic Henry, Miele, and Sebo to name a few. On the budget side there's this [Bosch Series 4](https://www.amazon.nl/Bosch-Serie-stofzuiger-BGB38RD2-duurzaam/dp/B0BGZTM918/ref=sr_1_33?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.srlNWwqJUMm3sXwypwLx-caMLMqHkVOJb1noOt39lppA8IrcZVwPSpDMAhL9Y6fPs_uLSMhpZMUBcx1pKITwZ3ZhVBUuI95CT5oEN2kzHJIHmd5kPJ59FYhXSrW23mYe-gAR8xaZGTHPpzG4fCZJ39haOB_ViEV8OhsnUXiwlGp8dFgegcfCMnSKo3U9vbBDaeg4el2k0pF1SrFLQVo8FbG0SiC6toCiTk_DOxknLbM.nU_dPQW-S2nn3iOW4vYQPr7o-ZfvMkHqGStZD8o8Zzg&dib_tag=se&qid=1739137106&refinements=p_36%3A20314671031&rnid=16332312031&s=home&sr=1-33&xpid=2ZQIoEtbg1xKQ&th=1) €134 and [Numatic James](https://www.amazon.nl/Numatic-900140-JVP180-11-stofzuiger-James/dp/B00N8O2HYM/ref=lp_16474214031_1_10?pf_rd_p=fca838d1-b9e9-4d1f-b94e-0de9bb410c0b&pf_rd_r=PVKH5SENV8GSWBQ0DQV2&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D) €139 both have better bags. They will last longer, have stronger suction, and they are quieter than the bagless canister vacuums. Thoughts?
