Numatic International - Henry HVR200

Man, when did Henry’s shoot up in price *so much*? We bought ours in ~2023 for $320. I can’t seem to find any under $500 in the US. I remember [this](https://evacuumstore.com/products/numatic-henry-200-canister-vacuum) site had it for $350 when we were going to buy one

Commercial grade (Numatic) Henry, easy to fix and durable,I am tempted to get the back pack version! Shark is fiddly to repair, especially when it gets clogged up, they have made it to be unfixable by the average user and require special tools to take them apart, you also need an extra set of filters, so one set can be used while the ones being cleaned and dried before next use. On the Henry, HEPA filter bag all contained, and just replace when 70-80% full (before i notice any performance drop), also the attachements can be purchased separately and standard fit with all models. Dysons don't have standard attachements with diffrent series.

I use the henry to clean out the filters and drums as that is where most of the problems occur on cordless and bagless vacuum cleaners.

hol dir nen Henry; für den Preis die mit abstand besten Staubsauger. Saugleistung wie die Sauger an der Tankstelle; nur eben mit Kabel, dafür aber unverwüstlich.

We use the 'Henry HVR 200 Professional Canister Vacuum Cleaner' NC-HVR200A Had it for 20+ years with only minimal repairs.

Henry for work (in the trades), Sebo for home.

Henry. But not just your bog standard 600w Henry. There’s a guy on eBay who reconditions them with 1400w Dyson motors. This fucker tries to pull the carpets up if you stick him on high power mode. 100% recommend. https://ebay.us/m/twWQRw

The only reason your Henry is “crappy” is because it’s a straight suction. I assume you don’t have the aero brush head? If not, invest in that and it transform the Henry into a really good vacuum for carpets suddenly. Not Sebo level with an ET1 powerhead but still very good and effective for what is a very small investment (around £30)

The Henry is going to be more durable and reliable, although Miele aren’t bad in that front, they have become more fragile recently. Spare parts and bags are more expensive. In the UK, a Henry like this can be had from £100, which makes the argument for it far easier. Miele tend to be far more complicated to repair than a Henry or Sebo which are both derived from the commercial sector.

Not compared to anything Numatic or Sebo which are by their design, serviceable. I can only speak from experience but the S7 upright Miele did a few years ago was the most complicated vacuum I have ever worked on, including modern dysons. Horribly complex.

Because it’s a simplistic design dating back to the early 80s; the motor being above the bags means there is no loss in suction even as it fills, the plastic tub at the bottom has nothing mechanical or electrical, and the top unit housing the cable rewind. Everything is designed to be tough, durable and repairable. Most Henry’s ever made (over 15 million) are still in use today. Absolutely no benefit if a Henry looking like a Miele which while it might be more aesthetic, is compromised in comparison. There may be an argument that Henry is top-heavy, but given the many other benefits over this design vs the Miele, it’s not a big deal at all.

I’ve never had a Henry fall while using it. The coasters are much bigger on Henry than a Miele. Miele canisters can dig into the carpet. I’m still struggling with the original comment suggesting that this design is in any way ugly. It has a smiling fucking face 😂there are far uglier appliances out there

I'm jealous because you can buy a Henry Quick for £199. They cost about $650 in the U.S. The Henry Quick is one of the few cordless vacuums that uses bags they call pods. So you don't have to empty a dirt bin and clean the filters. The Henry Quick doesn't have any anti-tangle brushroll but it's easy to remove the brushroll to clean off hair. There is also a Henry Quick Corded £159 that has a little more suction power than the cordless and it's a little quieter. But if you want the most suction power a normal corded canister vacuum like a standard Henry £119 will have the most suction power. I'd get a canister vacuum with a parquet/hard floor brush, since it doesn't have a spinning brushroll you won't get any hairwrap. Some hair does get caught in the bristles but you just vacuum that off with the hose before you put it away, no tools or scissors. It's soundling like a Henry commerical but you can get any bagged canister vacuum and use a parquet hard floor brush on it. Thoughts?

I agree with the Henry recommendation, they're very durable vacuums with strong suction, but they are surprisingly quiet. Henry 160 is the smallest canister good for homes. I think you should check out the Henry 200 and Henry 240, their bag compartment holds more and the cords are longer. I think your clients will really like his face and you can draw/add some body builder arms on his tub. Henry fits standard 1.25 inch tools so adding a good Wessel Werk hard floor brush is easy. Backpack vacuums are good for covering large areas that are not cramped or confined. I do not like backpacks if you have to bend and move stuff a lot or stop vacuuming frequently.

All of the cheaper cordless vacuums have more battery and motor problems within a year. No matter the price or brand I recommend getting a cordless vacuum with replaceable batteries and replacement parts available. It looks like the Xiaomi G20 does not have a replaceable battery so I would avoid that. If you live in the U.K. I would take advantage of the amazing prices you have on Henrys. The Henry Quick Pet is on sale for £219 and a regular corded Henry is £129. Thoughts?

Samsung stopped making corded vacuums for some time so these are all older vacuums. The picture is of a suction-only vacuum, no carpet powerhead so it's best for hard floors. The cyclone and filter are above average for a bagless vacuum. But it's still a bagless vacuums so that means it's not good for allergies and it requires more maintenance. I wouldn't get a used Samsung bagless vacuum if this is going to be your primary vacuum. Don't buy it unless you're a collector. For regular daily use the Henry Hoover is so much better and brand new prices are pretty cheap if you're in the UK. If you have carpets get a Sebo with a carpet powerhead.

I like Henry but Henry lacks suction speed control. For a plush delicate rug the gentlest cleaning is done with a combo brush, brisles retracted, and you can turn down the suction to the appropriate level. The Miele C1 Pure Suction and Sebo K2 Kombi are 2 canister vacuums that you should look at. Both have tools to clean baseboards and much more. The Miele C1 is a little lighter and quieter. The Sebo K2 is a little more durable and it has a longer cord.

I haven't tried the new Bissell SpotClean C5, but I know the Bissell SpotClean HydroSteam is quieter than the older SpotClean Pro series. So I think it's reasonable that the Bissell SpotClean C5 is quieter than the old SpotClean Pet/ProHeat series. I have a Henry vacuum and they are very quiet. It's larger than the Bissell spot cleaners but the Numatic Geroge can do carpet cleaning and regular dry vacuuming and it should be a quieter machine. You could vacuum and then spot clean with the same machine with a George.

Henry is the best all rounder, and there is a reason they are the go to trade hoover. Shark I'd say are the best small light cordless ones, ideal for a flat or small home, but pretty useless as a main hoover in a big home. Dysons are great if you like to show off to people and never clean with them. They are so so loud, don't hoover very well and I've never liked James Dyson.

I wouldn’t entertain the new Henry, it’s rubbish compared to an old Henry. We thought a new one was needed when we moved house and the old one was given away. Big mistake.

That makes sense. The shock of using a new hoover and wondering if it was blocked or something it was so poor.
