Very Nice Surprise I would be very happy if more vacuums included a surprise like that (not gonna spoil it for people who haven't seen the video). | ||

Argos Have for many years had a stair-cleaning hose included with their Henry and Hetty cleaners. They used to say so in the catalouge at one time. Only Argos though. | ||

Argos are hopeless at advertising anything they sell, and frequently get product information wrong. Their website often leaves a lot to be desired. Pay peanuts, get monkeys. | ||

Funnily enough we had the same convo on the FB group, Roger, which is a darn shame that you are not a member of.
Actually the Airobrush by Numatic is pretty good and I don't find it any noisier than Miele's or SEBO's similarly designed tool. I owned one for many years (black version) and sold it off when I sold off my James model. It is made by Wessel Werk and was also produced for Electrolux and Hoover. The other one I like is the Hoover J5. It has an air valve opening on the underside and a pivot at the front which is great for cleaning even when the suction tubes are at their most upright. It was originally equipped with the Hoover Telios Pets model and other variants with 32mm measurement. It is a real pity Hoover don't sell them any more for the original retail price of £14-99. As for less suction, don't forget the air valve at the top of the handle - I used to use mine all the time with the single 800 watt James.

Facebook group I keep hearing about this Facebook group but I don't know what it's called. I tried to join two vacuum collectors groups but my requests were ignored, so I withdrew them. | ||

" I think Numatic should supply it anyway " I doubt they ever will, more likely this is the "Argos Incentive". As I said, Argos always used to say there was a stair-hose, indeed going so far as to point out it was an ensemble exclusive to them. | ||

Im unsure whether Numatic need to put another freebie like an extra hose. If you buy the Henry or Hetty model doesn't it come with the standard 2.5 metre hose anyway? Sledge style vacuums at the most (discounting certain SEBO cylinder that come with 2.1 metre) either measure 1.5 metres to 1.8 metres.
Put simply, you'd still get a bargain longer reach hose if you buy a standard Henry vacuum. Or course I can see the benefit of an added hose, but at the same time, I found the 2.5 metre hose is long enough for most homes. As an ex-James owner, I found the smaller hose was more than acceptable at times, even though the 2.5 metre version continually used to bang off the doors in my home | ||

The standard Numatic hose is longer than average, but still not long enough to reach the top of the stairs. A common complaint about Henry is that he doesn't sit on stairs particularly well, and must either be stabilised with one's knee or carried in the other hand. This additional hose solves the issue by allowing you to leave the cleaner on the ground as you work your way up. It probably isn't essential, but I'm sure it's appreciated by many. Argos really ought to point out that they have this bonus as an exclusive, because I'm sure many customers would consider it far more useful than the Henry branded shopping tote or beach ball (?!) that they would have received by purchasing the cleaner elsewhere.

There is a picture of the new motor in Numatic's 2014 ISSA Interclean brochure, which is accessible from www.numatic.co.uk... home page.
It's a two-stage motor that to me appears to be sourced from Ametek Italia. | ||

There was no spare hose in with my John or a bag. I did get an Aero-brush as well as a normal floor tool though. Dave | ||
