Early Numatic Henry vacuum HVC200

Those of you that chat to me on a regular basis will know how much I love Henry's, my first vac was a Henry and i've loved them ever since

My HVC200 is one of the first Henry's from about 1981-1985 not too sure of the exact age. I've nicknamed this one 'boss-eyed Baz' for obvious reasons lol there seems to be a lot of these early Henrys with wonky eyes, this was because the face originally came as a transfer kit for the owner to apply. It has got the old style ultra durable 800watt Numatic motor. Its not unusual to see these old Henry's still running as smoothly as they did 25+ years ago.

[U5096]

@randomuseronthenet the face used to come as a sticker set that the owner to apply when they brought their new Henry

cool I hope mine does I too do regular bag chages and filter cleans.

I think numatics single fan motors (1100) last about 10-15 years so hopefully the twinflo motors will last about 20-25 years. but like you said only time will tell.

@NumaticVacuum you cant really put an amount of time on it, all depends on the amount of usage and how well its looked after, and what its used for. I find that any vacuum that is used to pick up fine dust on a regular basis (ie builders dust etc) doesn't tend to last very long

Dennis Markuze A.K.A. Dave Mabus brought me here. Thumbs up if you were brought here by him too!

I've just bought my first ever Henry. I have had 3 Dysons in the past ten years and they are so poorly made and expensive. I love the Henry, it's so simple with very few parts and is light to carry and easy to store. It has a fantastic suction, well beyond the Dysons. Wish I'd bought one years ago but like many people was fooled by the marketing blurb of Dyson.

i supose your right, but you know it's beyond me why people use henrys bagless because it makes a mess and slows down performance.

@NumaticVacuum god knows, I doubt it but only time will tell I spose. my nans had her Henry twinflo since 2004 and its still going strong but it is very well maintained by me with regular bag changes and filter cleans.

will the new henrys with the twin flo motors last as long as this one?
