The last time I purchased Numatic Henry NRV200-22 Commercial Vacuum Cleaner I used it for a couple of years and then sold it to my farther because I was moving home. After a long moving process I finally settled in and over the next few years I purchased many hoovers. Most seem to last a couple of years max. Then I remembered Henry...
Standing at a couple of feet in height this modern marvel is in my opinion is undersold. This baby will not only clean your carpet but will be excellent on hard floors also. Its a little hard to push on carpets and you will have to work as hard as the machine for the result but you do actually get the result you want. If you hand wash a car then you use a cloth to buff the wax you woul not expect to get a shine by simply lighty rubbing would you? The same with Henry..it will take work to get the results, buy where this cleaner differes from many others is that the results are almost constantly guaranteed. And yes the machine comes with a guarantee and a few bags to get you started. They even have a bag fitted in the machine for when you get it home. And as for setting up I did mine in a few minuets with no need for a screw driver.
So why Henrey? Well one very good reason is that as I work in schools I noticed the majority of care takers use them. Now anyone who lives in the uk will know that schools here have a tight budget and no self repecting caretaker would ever consider buying a product that was going to break in a couple of years after purchase. The henry is prehaps the manistay of cleaners/ care takers across the uk. Not all but many will vouch for this.
A long cord, a suction from hell and we have Henry.
The only thing I would say is that the elderly may find it hard to use owing to the push power needed across carpeted floor.
