My 4 year old son Elwood loves your videos. Thank you so much for posting! He is non-verbal and autistic. Whenever he’s upset, you always calm him down :)
I’ve just got the Henry allergy after seeing your review previously and I have to say I love it, although not the standard floor tool! The hard floor tool that came with it has litter pickers on it and I find it works really well on my carpets and rug although I ordered an arobrush too!
I recently bought an airobrush for my little blue Henry and I'm going to controversially say he's now the best vacuum cleaner you can buy in the UK!! 😂
Thank you for this video, Roger! Love blue vacuums…for some inexplicable reason! 🤣 In North America, we leave out the “i” in the last syllable of aluminum….especially in Canada where we have a lot of aluminum mining. So we pronounce the word “a-LOO-mi-num.” Our big aluminum companies are Alcan and Alcoa: Aluminum Company of Canada and Aluminum Company of America.
I love the British pronunciation of aluminum, it sounds so funny. Years and years of watching Top Gear UK, I say aluminum in the British accentuation and people are so confused lol
Numatic and Hoover are always my favorites. Yes of course there are many types but all in all Nomatic/Hoover for me are the best. (though I have dyson...😅)
Hi love your videos I need to ask can you do a video unboxing a Dyson Dco7 I love that vacuum cleaner because that's the one I my mum had like 20 years ago
I've got Blue Henry, I think I told you on an earlier video you need to be really fit and strong, which I'm not! I've got the pro kit, which does make it much easier. I was a bit disappointed to start with as I can't clean with the standard head. If like me you're prone to generating static electricity, you need to be careful, because you'll give yourself a rare belt when you touch metal!
Hi Roger I am 8 years old and I want a numatic vacuum cleaner for Christmas after I washed this video I think I am going to go with the James but I do have Henry 160 and I really want A another one for Christmas
I’d love you to test the suction of a Henry or James with a bag that’s half full or full to capacity. It would be interesting to see how much the 80-odd suction figure diminishes… be interesting to see how much you lose in turbo head performance too…
I have to say that the microfibre bags (even the copy bags as that's all I use these days) are absolutely brilliant at maintaining high suction power when collecting every day dirt. Yes, they clog with builders dust and that very fine grey dust which seems ever-present in just about every commercial setting I have ever cleaned (I would love to know what that dust is!), but for ordinary household dirt they are just fabulous at maintaining good airflow. In fact, most I change bags because they are starting to get smelly, rather than losing power, but in some cases where there has been no smell, I've been known to fill a dust bag to capacity, as there was still loads of suction.
A thing I noticed. Being a straight suction nozzle I recommend only using it for hard floors or having a full size upright with a rotating brush that you use every month or so to keep the carpets more clean. Reason being James has no agitation there for it won't clean carpets as well as a unit with agitation.
Hi Roger! Have you tried using the hard floor tool on carpet? I use Numatics at work and find the hard floor tool better on carpet than either the standard tool and turbo tool. Be great to hear your opinion in a vid 😊
Hi my little brother Marshall is obsessed with your videos and copies what you do in your toy Henry hoover videos and was wondering if he could get a shout out in your next video?
I’m from the United States and I was looking to buy Henry but I could not thousand and the amount of money they wanted for one. It’s just a simple shot that I could shouldn’t be over $100.
i want a mini version like the paladone one lol, my paladone is good yet i wish it was usb powered, will last longer, have more power AND be more realistic.
this is the same James by Numatic when i was hotel cleaning work better after i had a look for the tools and nozzle due the one they had was coming appart i was impress how good it clean but id like a electric head or turbo electric head for rugs
I have wached your channel sints i was 2 years old i rily luve your videos can you make a video of a hetty 160 vs a henry 160 thanks for all the videos i callect vacuums and i have shed full off them my name is kailen can you put my name in 1 of you videos please 🙏
Thing is, Henry isn’t that much more money and really, the cord rewind is a much neater solution than wrapping the cord around the top manually. Never understood why people scrimp on a Henry and opt for a James…
The James is for commercial cleaners and the cord rewind is dumped because it is a high wear part and it is more prone to breaking with heavy use which puts the cleaner in shop downtime and it's time wasted, so this is why the manual cord wrap is used. That's how the thought process is for the commercial environment. You want something to be as simple and with as little breakable parts as possible.
Nor me, not for home use certainly. Henry all the way. I take on board the comment about the flex winder being a point for failure, and I agree it is, but when you see the state of the flexes on cleaners without the rewind mechanism when used by multiple people in commercial settings, it's a very poor trade-off, as the long leads are hard work to wind and store, and get horrifically twisted.
Well that's down to the employees bending the cables moreso than the vacuum. I have a handy tip for fixing those extension/power cords/cables. Preferably disconnect it from the vacuum entirely, lay the cord out as straight as possible, take an old propane tank like for your grill, and tape one end of the cord to the top or bottom of it, then wind the cord all the way around the propane tank as tightly as you can, really wind it on there like hulk strength and straighten it out as you wind it around so its flat. Once all the cord is on, tape the other end down good, and then leave the entire thing sit in the sun for a few hours a day and then let it cool down. Repeat leaving it out in the sun to get hot for several days and then when you remove the cord from the cylinder, you will find it has gotten a perfectly looped shape back to it. @@sdm3447
It seems the stupidest thing ever that the likes of Numatic have changed the floor tool simply to obtain better energy ratings when under test conditions, and yet in reality the performance and user-comfort is pretty poor. I see that the floor tool here is the single-jointed type, as opposed to the ones with some of the Henry cleaners that have been double-jointed. A couple of years ago, I had to retake my GCSE physics qualification (despite being 43 years old at the time - long story), so went to an evening class at college. When the module came around to forces and levers, I used these floor tools as examples of how a force needs to be applied in the correct place and correct way, for it to be of maximum use. The wheels on the back of these floor tools are far too close together (they need to be larger and spread out, like those seen on the floor tool of the Dyson DC01 & 2 De Stijl cleaners etc) so with these tools all the force is concentrated on the mid point, rather than across a greater surface area like with the Dyson, and that makes it so much harder to use. Added to which, the double-jointed floor tools "waste" a lot of force on the back-stroke, as the first thing that happens when the user pulls the tools back is that the two joints move upwards, lifting the rear wheel off the surface, before any of that force is used to move the floor tool over the surface. Hence that clopperty-clopperty-clop movement that occurs when vacuuming. Back in the first lockdown of 2020, I worked on the housekeeping team of a hospital. Most of the vacuum cleaners there were Karcher T-10s, all of which had the identical double-jointed floor tool as seen on Henry, and no one -and I mean no one- I spoke to seemed to like the floor tools, not least because they stuck to hard floors like glue (and there was very little carpet to clean, save for the odd office that was awaiting refurbishment). That, and the clopperty-clopperty-clop movement of the tool, they were not well liked. Shortly after that, I did some domestic work for an elderly lady who had a Henry from 2016. Not only did the floor tool drive me to drink for all the reasons I mentioned above, but the suction was so strong that the floor tool would grip the carpets and the tubes would then separate when pulled backwards. I seemed to spend more time picking the lower tube and floor tool up off the floor & putting the two back together than I ever did cleaning. I still love the Henry though, I just wish more attention would be given to the floor tool. As for James, I can understand why the slight price difference may be appealing to a large cleaning company who might by 20 or more cleaners in one go, but for someone buying one for their own home I really think the extras that you get with a Henry for not much more money are so very worth it. I've also never understood why James has a shallower dust container - what's that all about?
My 4 year old son Elwood loves your videos. Thank you so much for posting! He is non-verbal and autistic. Whenever he’s upset, you always calm him down :)
Ohh me too and I love Henry’s and I didn’t know that Henry had a brother 😂
Love my james. Very powerful, light, great ergonomics, good filtration. Worth every penny.
I gave a yellow James to my son ..he's noisier than Henry but still pretty quiet. 😊
I always loved your new numatic vacuum cleaner unboxing videos, and they bring me joy!
P
Same😊
Had one last August (2022) and is amazing for my car vacuuming
I’ve just got the Henry allergy after seeing your review previously and I have to say I love it, although not the standard floor tool! The hard floor tool that came with it has litter pickers on it and I find it works really well on my carpets and rug although I ordered an arobrush too!
I recently bought an airobrush for my little blue Henry and I'm going to controversially say he's now the best vacuum cleaner you can buy in the UK!! 😂
Is it better than the one that comes with the henry
Yes the airobrush is a beast when you use it on carpets.
I bought a green henry ex house clearance for 40 quid. It was covered in crap but i cleaned it and the motor up and it looks brand new.
Excited as I am buying James tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉

Ah my namesake! I might just treat myself, although I think I preferred him before he went blue
Hi I Have been a vacuum fan for a long time
I don’t know why in the UK they don’t have the Wessel Werk TK 286 like they do in USA and Canada for Numatic/Nacecare.
Hi love your videos I need to ask can you do a video unboxing a Dyson Dco7 I love that vacuum cleaner because that's the one I my mum had like 20 years ago
So am I correct in saying that James is the same as a Henry or hetty just got a smaller capacity, is lighter and no auto winder?
Now there’s a blue, James
Hi I got James in my new house then I got a Henry for Christmas. but James is still fine, so he’s in the garage and now we use him as a car vacuum!
If James is fine why did you get a Henry just asking?
@@jessicabrand8758 Hi it's because of the cord rewind because Henry is faster and Henry is bigger.
Hi ibaisaic did James like being in the garage for 2 years!!
WesselWerk makes a lithium-ion powered powerhead. I wonder if they're available in the UK
I've got Blue Henry, I think I told you on an earlier video you need to be really fit and strong, which I'm not! I've got the pro kit, which does make it much easier.

No.
Would you consider getting the Bosch BGBS2BA1GB?
Can You Do A Hetty Lilac It Is Limited Edition
It’s exactly the same as pink hetty apart from the colour.
