Yes 1000w on low and 1200w on high. | ||

Jamie...
If you're Henry has a hi/lo switch, it should be 650w on low, 1000w on max. The only time your Henry will reach 1200w is when you put your hand over the end of the hose, or the floorhead is placed on a really thick carpet. You know when you can hear the motor power up when you put the floorhead on a thick rug? That's the 1200w kicking in.

Hello Turbo 500. Could you explain this a bit more as I'm not sure I fully understand. Are you saying that the Henry cleaners have a feature which boosts the motor wattage when suction is restricted? | ||

1200 on maximum setting yes, but only when used on the maximum permittable voltage. That being 240V. On 220V it will use 1000W or thereabouts on the highest setting. | ||

All vacuums do. When you look at the ratings plate and it says "1000w nom / 1200w max" or something to that effect, thats what that means. Basically, if you put your hand over the end of the hose, the motor increases in sound and the suction increases - that's full power. But vacuums don't run at the constant maximum all the time - the motor would overheat otherwise. I'm probably not explaining this all too well...maybe somebody else would be able to explain it better than I can, but I know what I mean in my head lol

The watt rating it what it would use at most, it's actual consumption will vary depending on how it's used, how clean it is and even what the temperature is, it's a variable basically, it's never quite the same from one moment to the next... | ||

It is in Somerset, England. I think Numatic are probably the only vacuum cleaner company we have left. | ||

I've never really considered that before. Of course being the age I am I am keen to buy British, but I've never thought about feeling proud to be using a British product. I just use them. I like your comment. | ||

It isn't just my Numatic I feel proud using though, it is also my 1977 HOOVER Ranger, which was made in "Great Britain" according to the ID plate (I say plate rather than sticker because it is a metal plate, ah, the good ole days!)
It is good to see that Britain can make good things, and both my Numatic and HOOVER are very good things! | ||

2CV thank you for the comment about the IEC. As I said, I wasn't 100% sure I was right on what it stood for. So do you happen to know why they are giving more information other than the top wattage? | ||
