Well, as long as it doesn't have hi lo then I'm all for it. Be interesting to see how a wheeled floor tool takes being smashed about for 10 years... Hopefully the 600w motor will be very very quiet too |

I'm curious how effective this new lower wattage Henry will be in real world applications. We shall see.
As for the article, I've spotted it here: content.yudu.com/A2prwr/cleamainf... See Page 24. |

Thank you Moojuice. The article was posted to me by someone and I was not sure if it was my place to circulate it. I didn't have a clue how to find it on the internet. Well done, sir. |

That floorhead is definitely a Wessel-Werk design, looks nice. |

No I mean well done for finding it on the internet. I was unable to do so, so thought it may have been in some way confidential, you see. |

But I am of course glad you did. I'm worried now in case I've come across as sarcastic. I am sorry. I'm genuine. |

Here is the photo of Henry taken from the mag.
The wheeled floor tool is indeed a Wessel Werk design. Bosch, Miele and SEBO all use this one as well as Hoover in Germany with various models. It seems to be a German thing. Hotpoint have also started to use these on their new cylinder vacs dependent on spec. I think other brands have had them too including Electrolux. I will say this for Numatic - and for being the sole British company - well done on them for getting something out on the market to begin with in light of the EU law. |

Moo - the VCCs have been out for quite a few years now. They started off with producing the Vax canisters as well as bringing known "free label" commercial machines under their own name in the UK. I also have the "similar Oreck" VCU-02 upright which I adore, even if the plastics aren't that durable, the Vax Commercial Company continue to get other vacuums from other brands and badge them as their own.

Henry's complied with the September 2014 laws anyway. They still had another 3 years yet. |

I always preferred the floor tool they originally used from 1981-2003. |

Ahh excellent. Glad I haven't upset anyone. Im pretty good at tracking down things on the net. My old work place called me the ferret. If the ferret couldn't find it, it probably didn't exist!
As for VCC, I never realised because I never went looking I think. Collecting was something I did when I was young, pre internet! These days I just have a handful of machines and a little idle curiosity :) |
