Numatic are brilliant. I have a George and they are so tough and durable, built from really high grade materials. Just genuinely functional units, relatively easy to sue for what they are as well.
Post a picture of the new floor head ? Think numatic have used the same generic floor head forever ahah | ||

This is what I liked about James with his open top.. but then you'd have the fun of having to lasso the entire cord wrapping it around the body after you finish vacuuming.
Id have thought Numatic could have put slot rings on the back of the wheel castor frame beside the main switches. It would have been more logical to add rings there either side of the new park position added onto the back of the tub for the new floor head to slot onto. | ||

Thank you. I've seen it on more modern Vax canister tubs as well as elderly Electrolux MasterVac tubs.
I have already suggested it to Numatic many moons ago but I think they were worried about the durability tests and if the rings shot through if Henry/et al was abused badly. They also tried a secondary wall around the existing design to house extra tools, but that also had the same problem if the sides got knocked. Im sure there's another solution. | ||

Well actually, on board tools are an issue on the Henry. I've heard buyers say it and I've read reviews about it - the issue of not being able to store tools like the dusting brush AND crevice on board is a downside. The clips are handy but they often break and so, they are a short term solution.
Numatic don't install the free bag any more with Henry vacs unless you happen to buy an past year model. You now have to buy the bag separately, which I think is a great pity - the canvass bags are also great for shopping with! Another downside was the floor head as a complaint from domestic owners - which the new one obtained from Wessel Werk may be a lot better or lighter to push along carpets without the air valve at the top opened. | ||

Thing is though, until that EU law was passed, Numatic have done very little for the domestic market other than bring out fancy colours and a slight change of adding that parking slot onto the back of the cleaner. Switches have been changed presumably down to the non-functioning buttons or broken switches when the Autosave button ran into problems.
Bit by bit, domestic suggestion or pressures to pull Henry into this century show that the company are willing to change the design, if only a bit at a time. After all, not many commercial cylinder vacs "proper" I have used have a park position on the back for the floor tool and commercially, as you probably know Benny, the worse part of Henry that goes early is either the floor head twin pedals, or the flex which needs to be restitched back in. Other issues are worn down cuffs where cleaners have used that to get into corners to clean dust out of and at times the cuffs get bent, making it impossible for the other pipes to push back in. I can sympathise greatly that no tool storage would be required on commercial versions of Henry etc as tools could get lost over time, or the things that hold them in would break easily. SEBO's Professional D series has only 2 cleaning tools as opposed to the standard 3 on the domestic version, and a pigtail type connector cable should it break in use. | ||
