Numatic Henry Questions & Answers

Hi I’m afraid I’m not sure as I don’t have a shedding dog-

While I don't own a dog, I think it should have no problems - it's pretty powerful. I use it in my shop to vacuum up sand, metal nuts and bolts, gyprock dust - all stuff that is challenging for most vacuum cleaners.

We have the yellow henry. We have 2 dogs 2 cats and 4 kids and I don't have an issue with hair.

We don't have animals but I bought a secondhand rug that had dog hair in the flat tight weave, I assumed I'd have to pull each one out by hand but I just used Henry and it was all picked up.

The bag is disposable, costs about $2 each on ebay. Have only replaced it once - but have read others don't use a bag at all - not sure that I would recommend that - so get to vacuum (large home, two story) 4 times before need to change bag; but the bagged ones do produce better suction so that is why I went that way because had been bagless for sometime with other vacuums. I think comes from UK, have a two year warranty via ebay with mine but haven't had to use it. Looks a very robust simple vacuum. Hope this helps a little. Sandra Wellington Point Qld

The primary bag is described in the instructions as 'Synthetic'. So to answer your ques, it is a disposable bag. There is a secondary bag which protects the vacuum motor from any dust particles that may happen to get through the primary bag and this appears to be an excellent quality cotton bag. So far there is absolutely no indication of any dust passing through the first bag to the second. We are still using the original primary bag and there is no indication that it will need replacing anytime soon.

Henry is made in England and as much as I hate to admit it I think that the Poms have finally got something right. The supplier we got our Vacuum through sent it with 1 bag in the machine and 13 spare bags plus an extra head. Maintenance is not a problem with parts readily available in Australia.

If you decide to go ahead with Henry, I would suggest that you google something like "best price Henry vacuum cleaner Australia" and take it from there.

I really appreciated these answers they are very helpful THANK YOU

Haven't had to pick up little bits of cotton, but Henry would be valuable in a messy garage/workshop.

Yeah Henry will do it. We have one for our restaurant. Gets used in the dirtiest of places. I would suggest the larger wattage motor like 780 watts. We use it in car. The first one I bought was a George which is bigger machine and blue in colour. George sucks wet and dry and has a water tank unit for valeting. That unit is nearly 20 years old and still works to today. I have valeted my cars and house restaurant carpets as well as hoovered up saw dust and rubble from building sites. Trust me you will not be disappointed he sucks like a trooper :D

No, I do not use one Mate.

They do have bags and I use them. It keeps the filter a bit cleaner. They're very cheap and widely available. Under a dollar each on eBay. They last ages too.

Yes I use the ones that came with mine, but have seen others say they don't use them, just keeps the filter cleaner for longer. Bought my on ebay for $389, came with 12 extra bags, would expect need to change the bag every 3 months, as only vacuum once a month.
