What are these Henry relatives like?

[julianf]

I've got a whole troop of Henry's, in red, green, and pink, but this sibling turned up on Facebook.

Are they notably more brutal than an every day Henry?

(£30 asking price on my local group)

I mean, I'm pretty much certain of don't NEED another Henry...

We have a George….wet n dry….does the job..

 

[ajlelectronics]

That one is likely the grey sheep of the family.

 

[Barking Mat]

We had a Numatic at my last job, worked really well.

My Hettie definitely isn’t a darling, she cannot suck a golf ball through 1/2 meter of garden hose….

This Numatic jobs are very good indeed. I think I’ve seen one in @Pete. ‘s van.

If he has one, it will be good!

Have had Henry, George, Edward, and Hettie. Never the actual Numatic branded ones, as these are more aimed at the "professional", but all of them have been great. Cant be beaten for the price, and bags are really cheap if you buy them at Costco

 

[bourbon]

Bonus is. Spares are available in the UK

I got a Numatic around 8 years ago, second hand from an industrial auction for £50. Been worth its weight in gold - sucks up anything and everything in the garage, including oil, leaves, sawdust, steel & alu swarf.

At £30, that one is even more of a bargain.

I’ve bought several numatic vacuum cleaners along the years, from wet and dry to specialist cleaning ones with hot water atachements and no bag filters. All have been great but the best was a fully metallic one I picked from a skip back in 2000 which I abused on sites, in the workshop and at the garage, that was a beast with huge suction !
As I am renovating my flat in Brasov I also have an industrial Kranzle vacuum cleaner (they make for festool and Hilton) - I use that with my wood working machines as it starts when the machine starts however with all bells and whistles I often connect a tiny Henry one which is from their micro range and it’s so easy to move around and it’s lightweight as well !

I think mine is the same as the pic, twin motor and bigger bore hose than standard Henry's
Mines on its own trolley.
Say the word if you want anymore details

I've got one the same or similar, twin motor, washable filters....totally different league to the domestic ones and worth every penny of £30

Funny, the red one is a Henry micro but it’s larger than the one on the right of the picture ! And also it’s got a smaller diameter suction hose ! Yes, they worth every penny !
