The one shown is a commercial Numatic - they still make them. WV30, 40 or 50 series. Though don't quote me on the model numbers. I've used a similar one on a trolley with bigger wheels.
You should really check out www.numatic.co.uk... - you'd be surprised how many designs there are using the staple design. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

I think you will find this is one of the oldest examples of a cleaner like this. The filter and threaded machine-end of the hose are very old. The font possibly is one of the first used. |

Hey Joe!
Sorry this is a bit off topic but I know you like Numatic's, I just started a new job and they have an Eco Henry and I have to say he is rather cute looking lol and it's kinda made me want want but when I lifted him up I was surprised how heavy he was and I wonder if he would be a pain to pull around? I've never used one maybe if the office is empty I'll get him out and try haha Dan |

Hey Dan, I know I'm not joe but I have 4 numatics so I know what they're like. They aren't too heave to pull around die to the 2 back wheels and 2 Front castors! It is quite heavy to lift though as you have pointed out. George |

Speaking as a fan of the Numatic James, even though he has a shorter cord, he is slightly lighter - I think Henry's bowler hat cord tidy and the motor makes the machine, overall heavier. Not a chore to pull on carpets on hard floors though due to that long, wriggly wiggly hose of his and those massive wheels at the back.
