Info on the Nuvac please

IM not so sure about "limited production" in so far as being a leading sales tactic, but they were limited production quite literally because of their time line history and appearance in the Numatic family.

When I was a student and did a short stint of commercial cleaning for companies, NUVACs were basically Numatic's commercial name. I have used a few NUVACs in terms of the bowler hat style offered on Henry for example; the NUVAC name is just an early name applied to early machines for the commercial market.

Almost all NUVACS I have seen feature the more open top arrangement like yours although the bowler hat ones I used years ago were also actual NUVAC branded models. The Numatic James is the "domestic" version of the NUVAC you have and has a fixed unremovable cord and originally wasn't as long as the one fitted to Henry. The James also had a fairly shorter hose originally (compared to 2.5 metres on Henry) and came with aluminium tubes as standard.

Regardless of the actual name, end of the day they're all Numatic - and they do last for years on end.

Checkrate/Likes To be brutally honest, I think all UK collectors should have experience of Numatic in their lives, if not experience then certainly ownership of one machine at least; they really are effective and do the job and so much better built than so many other brands out there with cheap running costs to boot! I have owned four Numatics.
