In reading your post, I think you may have come close to answering your own question. They don't import that many of them to North America and thus the economies of scale simply aren't there. I'm assuming the North American versions are set up at the factory for 110v, which means they're making those in small runs to satisfy a relatively small market. This all adds up to higher unit cost. Since they're selling less, they have to charge more to make it worth their while.

Try to see if you can find a commercial-janitorial supply place-they sometimes carry Henry/Numatic products at more reasonable prices than home vac dealers.In the US it seems like Numatic machines are marketed to the commercial market more than the home markets. |
