ive had henry for over 8yrs and he's hoovered alot and i mean alot of customers cars plus my own, numatic that make the henrys are the best in the valeting and detailing industry, it will last you much much longer than a dyson trust me, dysons are good for house work but cant handle the stress you put them under when doing car interiors.

Dan is right...
I have a George and a Henry is going to be my next investment... I also have a Dyson that I bought a couple of years back for home... George sometimes gets brought inside to do James Dyson's dirty work.... nuff said
a lot of people have their preferences... but it works out like this..
Dyson - £200ish... plus you need to buy a 'car kit' for the cars... doesn't do a triffic job
Henry - £85.. comes with all the accessories you need as the suction is strong enough... does a triffic job
for the price you'd be silly not to... or be silly to opt for the Dyson
-
Well thats decided then, dyson's are very expensive, they look the biz and alot of advertising behind them but from yer opinions on the george / henry, ill be purchasing the henry

top man :grin: you wont regret it :wink: ive found a place that can do the brushes for my henry so its going to cost me peanuts to get him back for another 8+ yrs of good faultless service.

thought id give the wagon a quick hoover today but when i plugged HENRY in he coughed and pluttered and wouldnt work :cry: :cry: :cry: i knew this day would come eventualy as he has done alot of hours sucking sh!te out of customers cars and my own so he's worked very very hard for me :tongue:
took him apart and all seems normal apart from the carbon motor brushes that apear to have had there day :rolleyes: im hopeing that i can get the brushes replaced saving me having to buy another unit, if anyone knows if this is possible to do then post up please :wink:
RIP Henry :sad:
I might get a Henry myself, either that or I'm toying with the idea of one of them handheld dyson jobbies.

Just for the ease of use, pick up and go. and even for the days when im not detailing and i notice a few crumbs and stones etc i can zap em without getting a full sized hoover out.

I'm thinking a portable handheld will do the job quicker and easier than getting a vacume out ?

think its a two stage switch guy, one for low suction and the other for full on power, dont quote me on that but from memory of using my neighbours one it has two seperate buttons or a two stager.

Couldnt get to b&q tonight, will go tomorrow for sure.

My mum set Henry on fire! She was hoovering around the hearth (she's got a real fire) and managed to suck up some glowing embers. Half of Henry was saved but the bit with the bag burnt in the front garden where it was thrown... A few bits from the Henry shop and e-bay and he's back up & running again! :laugh: :laugh: :cool:

I think Henry is Robocop.

Whats the difference between the Henry HVR200A and the Numatic NRV200-22 ?

Hmm, just did a spot of looking and the Neumatic is Henry's son ? :grin:

sorted :wink:

We've had Numatics since the early 80's. When they were steel and didn't have names like Henry and George.
Parents do about a house build/renovation every two years. Apparently no project is complete until you've sacrificed a Henry.
There's only so much sawdust and plaster dust one fat little guy can ingest apparently. :grin:
Mrs Hell has a posh little Miele thing, but when I changed my rent-out house to renting by a family I reclaimed my five year old Henry, who was just fine. Local holiday camp bought three Dysons one year. By the end of the season the only vacuum cleaner left working was the three year old Henry.

Any mention of prices ?

There was, but can't remember them, sorry. Try their website?

Henry is £72 at Homebase tomorrow, its currently £84 there but the 15% off tomorrow and saturday brings it down to £72.
-
finally, got myself a Henry, £72 from Homebase. It was the HVR200A model.

Been messing around with it, once I stopped putting the hose down my pants and chasing the misses round the living room with it I got down to testing. The little accessories will be perfect for the car and the little bugger has great suction. I'll enjoy using this and at 72 bux its a bit of a brucy bargain.

lmao :laugh: you have me in stitches Kev,
a tip for you mate!!!! firstly stop putting henrys trunk down your kaks :grin: you can take the internal bag out because they fill up quite quickly but just make sure you empty it after each time you use it and shake the filter out every time aswell.
