Hi Dave,
I get what you are saying, I don't really know why Numatic did it either. It would cost more in plastic and molding. there was nothing wrong with the original face as well. I do like to park feature very much, one problem people had with Henry's and other Numatic's has been the bulkiness of the machine, thus making it hard to store. Joe | ||

Actually..... Hey Guys Up until maybe 15 years ago Henrys came with a sheet of stickers and you did indeed apply them yourself- thats why you see the odd one on Ebay with upside down eyes and a frown rather than a smile etc...... Seamus | ||

LOL and Henry got addicted to drugs, Hetty gave him LOADS of slaps on the face which is why his face is permanently red :P
Whereas Mr George Washer had to wash Henry with his pump spray after Henry had a Puke accident! | ||

Opinion I know that's what it was. And as I said, I was interested to hear it. | ||

Half of the brands you see today need to focus on tool storage, Dyson like to make their vacs look tidy. | ||

The 3D face looks OK to me. Not much of an actual benefit to the consumer, but it doesn't diminish usability either. I reckon Benny hit it on the nail though, in that it was probably an exercise in simplifying manufacture. As it stands they currently supply some tubs printed, others plain, depending on which range the model belongs to. This way they could use the same tub for both, only supplying the clip-on face for those that are specced to include it.
The wand parking feature is a nice addition. It would, however, have been nice to see them include storage pegs for the small tools somewhere on the cleaner, either on the top hat or between the rear wheels. Maybe that will come at a later date with the next revision. Numatic tend to make small improvements over time, rather than drastically redesigning their product frequently, and it's not as though sales are suffering as a result. | ||

Except 1997 Henry's had an 850w motor, my 1999 Henry has a 850w motor, & they upgraded to 1000w in 2000. Oh we'll, they lost, but they still are good vacuums at somewhat a third less price. My school uses them | ||

I am very disappointed in Numatic for deviating from their classic design which has been a great seller for decades and (to my knowledge) showed no signs of deteriorating. As such, this update was (as Benny said) to save money and for that I am a little sad.
Numatics are a brand we could be proud of - they were made in the UK with good quality materials, they lasted for years and years without breaking down and were popular in households as well as in commercial settings. This latest design change - I fear - heralds a new (and cheaper) era for Numatic. I pray I'm wrong. | ||

DDS Oh yes happened about 2 years ago. We started selling them when Qualtex rep came to my dads business, & have sold loads. Everyone prefers them to Henry. | ||

On the decline If a 3D face is a cost-cutting exercise, hats off to Numatic for making a cut which did not eat into the build quality. The quality of the hose on the Qualtex is not that of the Numatic, but in every other way it is a perfectly good cheaper alternative. | ||

henry
i work for leeds city council and we use hundreds of these little work horses some of them are quite old there are even a fiew of the early metal ones with the Numatic logo . These machines are used and abused every day and i mean abused i have seen some of them absolutely full to bursting with people still using them [i dread to think what there homes are like]when they go wrong they are usually thrown away i once had a new one brought to my place of work it was to replace a faulty old one after a fiew weeks it simply stopped working a replacement arived the next day when asking what to do with the three week old faulty one i was told to bin it i brought it home and after checking it over i found a break in the flex right near the plug i cut the moulded plug off fitted a new one and away it went as for the face i love to see it on upsidedown it looks great
