If you want bifl go numactic.. we use the James and it's great
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->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? ->That'll be a blue George! They used to do them all in every colour. They changed the wheels in June 2003, and although I'd say their quality did go up and down after that, they did exceed the early 2000s models with the mid-2000s Henrys. The issues only really came in with the 160 imo.
r/VacuumCleaners • If there was one Vacuum Cleaner that you could bring back from being discontinued and sell on the market tomorrow what would it be? ->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? ->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? ->Miele's are great, but they're not really meant for hard commercial use. They have lots of refinement, but the bags are on the smaller side If it's just hard floors, and you have issues with hair, I'd go for a Numatic. Probably a James or a Henry, but they have lots of other similar ones. Very simple machines built to take abuse, huge bag capacities, low running costs. The James also has an easily replaceable cord If the supplied floor tools prove inadequate, a good upgrade would be the RD285 from Wessel Werk for handling hair
r/VacuumCleaners • Vacuum Recommendation ->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? ->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?
r/VacuumCleaners • Amazon Basics 15KC-71EU4 vacum cleaner good? ->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.
r/VacuumCleaners • Numatic Henry Quick Pro review ->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)
r/VacuumCleaners • DO NOT BUY A DYSON (I wish someone had told me this) ->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.
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Al sinds de vorige eeuw een Numatic en hij zuigt nog steeds de tapijttegels van de vloer als ik niet oplet.
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Buy a Numatic, they are by far the best.
r/VacuumCleaners • DO NOT BUY A DYSON (I wish someone had told me this) ->You forgot it's about 100 times quieter... Shop Vacs are insanely loud. Numatics are one of the more quiet vacuums out there.
r/VacuumCleaners • Please don’t beat me up for asking this question, but why choose a Numatic over a shopvac? ->Numatic have a reputation for lasting decades. Also fully serviceable.
r/BuyItForLife • The BIFL Vacuum Market is Annoying Me: help! ->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.
r/VacuumCleaners • The reason brands like Sebo and Miele get recommended ->Numatic! Robuust en de zak gaat lang mee. Blijkbaar ook goed repareerbaar en niet zo fragiel als Dyson
r/nederlands • Over welke stofzuiger ben jij tevreden? ->Numatic is literally unkillable.
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on reddit ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
