Here’s a couple of Numatic Bertie cleaners, one blue and one orange with several years apart, the orange model being the later one. Bertie was exclusive to B&Q DIY stores in the UK and is now discontinued.
The big national DIY chains in the US are Home Depot and Lowes. Honestly, if Numatic wanted to expand their footprint in North America, I could see a blue model being a Lowes exclusive while an orange model would be for Home Depot.
And they could name each after the founder of the company. The Carl for Lowes and the Bernard for Home Depot. Their names would still fit within the Henry family of names too.
Hoses are original to the cleaners. Bertie 1 was a screwfix machine hence the blue base, 1 stage ametek 1100w motor, 1.8m hose, aluminium rods and a 270mm head with crevice tool and square dusting brush. Bertie 2 was a B&Q exclusive, 2 stage ametek twinflo motor, longer 2.5m hose, aluminium rods, 3000mm floor tool twin pedal and 3 standard normal numatic tools.
Wow ya still going remember watching u with son when he was 2 he's 9 now. Good show. Loved ya bids anyway. My son was obsessed with hoovers. Well Henry's and Hetty's
@@TheCoolGuy1001 sorry but I don’t believe that, there is no reason why it would cause an explosion numatic make a twin motor vaccum but it is very large
Hi Roger loved this video. Could you do a review of all numatic cleaners some day please? I think it would be very interesting. Many thanks for this video, you make me smile and have such a lovely presentation style.
Either the pcb is going or the switch is not making a contact might be the switch but I have a psp370A that the autosave wouldn’t work on high, ended up replacing the pcb for £12
It sounds like a problem with the circuitry. I think they use a thermoresistor to control when the high speed switches off, and when the high motor speed builds up enough heat in the resistor, it will cut off the high speed mode until it cools back down again. It's possible these resistors were a failure point by design and had a high breakdown rate and they hindered the owner more than helping save electricity and were just eliminated. Kirby did the same on the Ultimate G Diamond Edition, and everyone kept leaving the motor on low speed and burning the motor up and Kirby lost more money on warranty repairs from idiot owners than they made on the vacuum and just cancelled the vacuum's sales and the multi-speed motor switch and never did it again.
Bunnings is like 5 times bigger though. You practically need a golf cart to shop there. That's why they serve sausages on the way in so you don;t die of starvation before you get to the other end of the store haha
Blue Bertie does not have the right motor in it cause I have that exact Bertie and it sounds like orange Bertie on high power and I have a dyson dc14 that sounds the same as blue Bertie
