Had a wee look at www.numatic.de/... and discovered SEBO uprights badged under Numatic... Also are Henry vacs usually sold with the control panel looking out from the front? I thought they were always at the back?

The commercial UK cleaners have the controls at the front - quite why the domestic cleaners have them on the rear in the UK, I don't know. For one thing, it is easier to operate the cleaner with the controls on the front. For another, it must cost much more to run two different designs from the production lines.

When I was a kid nearly every numatic I saw in a shop had the head on back to front so the switch was on the front!

Placing the switches at the front would also presumably solve the problem of the PCB being near the exhaust.
They probably keep the switches out of sight at the back on the domestic ones so as to avoid spoiling the line/appearance of Henry's "hat".

Never seen the control panel on the front of the Henry's. All the ones I've seen that the cleaners use at work have the control panel/buttons at the back.

Interesting to see 'numatic' branded SEBOs in Germany.

My two favourite vacuum brands. Wow. British German collaboration, just like me ! :d Love it.

It is interesting. So numatic and sebo must think of each others products as good products for them to share each others brands and what not. They both are sort of a similar company, originally specializing in commercials usage. Very interesting.

Now if only Sebo would sell Numatics under their own name they would have a cylinder vacuum worth buying SurprisedWink.

This is one of the newer style heads from Numatic, we get them here in commercial form, One comes with a long handle and handy bucket. It seems these switch in front models have more noise reduction in them , some also feature Hepa filtration ( pvr 200a )

We had that VAC over here briefly Gareth, it was quite cheap and a few people from detailing world bought some as a good car VAC with storage.

Haven't seen one for sale for a while though
