Numatic Henry HVR200 Review Canister Vacuum Cleaner 

Numatic are the best that money can buy. Powerful and last forever

Very interesting to see a US oriented take on a machine that is widespread and perennial over in England. The lack of power head is something I've always found a bit odd, as they made at least two over the years - a mains powered one (likely only ever for 250V systems) that drew from the PTO socket on older HVR200 models and, later, a lower voltage one on the HHR200. Perhaps some day they will produce another. In any case, I too can attest to the longevity of the Henry machines, given my own unit turned 30 only a few weeks ago. Short of general maintenance over the years, nothing has ever really broken on him aside from wearing the original floor tool down to almost nothing through years of regular abuse. The slightly dorky look is definitely misleading, as it's a seriously capable and long lived machine when used properly.

I bought mine new in 2005 and he's still going strong in 2024 and I love to hoover!

SO glad I found your channel! I was looking at buying a Shark Vertex, but went with the compact Henry after watching your videos. Feeling really good about this investment. I've never been so excited to start vacuuming lol. Thank you so much for a thorough review!

I absolutely love Henry. He looks like he was a character in The Brave Little Toaster. Though I don’t think Kirby would have liked him very much. I do just wish they would sell one with an electric nozzle. I know that they have made them before, the Henry Hound I believe. But I’ve searched high low for one in the US but I don’t think it was ever sold here. If they were to bring it back, I would be so on board.

Very good indepth reviews. Very helpful. I am in the uk. It is helpful to know this is going to be a bit differernt. Appreciate you mentioning that. Means you done your research and know what you are talking about.

After watching your videos on him I bought one a few weeks ago and I think he is excellent mine is the 160

Henry is a great vacuum. I got mine in 2016, it's actually a two speed one but it does use the current motor I think, the motor only uses 680 watts but it has performance similar to much higher power motors. I think big Henry and little Henry use the same motor and the same bags. I think big Henry might have a longer cord. The one area where Henry is lacking is that it doesn't provide any direct way to use an electric power nozzle. I think there is a version available from Nacecare that can use a power nozzle but not sure. It would be interesting to make a video showing Henry paired up with one of the battery power nozzles. If you want to clean wall to wall carpet, I would suggest getting a battery nozzle, not a turbo brush.

We have a few Numatic's here, consisting of a 1.2kW 2007 Hetty (when they were a limited special edition), a 2016? George and a two year old Henry Cordless (brought to clean the car as we have nowhere to park the car outside where we live). My Brother also has my late grandma's 1987 Henry as his main vacuum.

He is mighty and powerful! I am thinking of investing into a Henry after my 2012 Miele Topaz canister dies. Thank you for everything!

Aww look at it. Don’t you just want to give it a hug?

The first time I saw this vacuum was in a Collin Furze video, and I thought it was a joke till I saw it on your channel lol.

Us brits *looooveeeee* a Henry. A Henry, Dyson and Miele go down very nicley in my home. Tho because of BREXIT, we Nuematic haven't been able to get many supplies so quality is a bit all over the place. You could get a super decent one as I got or my friend literally got one with tapered hose that cracked in about a month (he only ever used it for stairs).

Henry's are great, my nan's had 2. One in 2004 ( one of the first with a 2 speed motor) and one in 2016 which is single speed. She loved both of them. My mum has a 160 model she bought earlier this year and loves it. You can't go wrong with them. They're reliable, powerful and suited to almost any job. Only thing I feel lets it down is it's shape and size, it can make it awkward in certain situations and storage solutions.

Will you do a video on how to add the ebk360 battery version to Henry? I have both the 1200watt 2 speed, and the 620watt 2 speed . I love my Henry and have added Wessle Werk Turbo head which works great, but want something a bit more powerful. Love watching your videos and your reviews..

I use the end as a upholstery tool and a bench cleaning device, great for sucking up small bits of wire too

I think that’s a great design ,understandable,par care ,allergy,200,160 great 👍

i have the hetty 200 and the henry 160 and I love her and him lol

What about a factory warranty? How would I get it serviced under warranty if I buy from Amazon?

I was doing housekeeping and they had one of these Henry’s and it wasn’t working so well. It hardly picked up the carpet that nicely then I decided to watch a video on Henry and it’s no wonder they probably didn’t empty the poor guys filter in who knows how long? Maybe they never have. I think something was clogging the vacuum and the one I used had a broken cord so they taped it? That could have been problem as well.

I'm only shown a 2 year warranty in the UK. Is it 5 years in the USA?

The Sebo X7 upright also has an Ametek Italia motor. The Sebo X5 and the Sanitaire Eon have a Domel motor. Those are all definitely durable motors.

I want a hetty one I think it would be so cute.

Anyone have tips on how to clean the floor tools hard comb/bristle lining? Once any of it catches dust it can be difficult to even pick any off. Thanks.

Can it also vacuum fine construction dust? Or does the filter get clogged? I own a George and it's a great product.

I'm concerned about the metal on the bottom of the floor tool. Will it scratch hardwood floors?

Wouldnt a tapered house reduce suction. The suction is only going to be good as its widest diameter.

What do you think of the George hoover?

Do you need to change that filter after a while?

I give these out as gifts

This vacuum sells for £129.99 in the UK, that converts to about USD $175. Why does it cost twice as much in the US? As you noted in your review, the construction is very simple and we can see it should not be that expensive.

Henry hoover what to meet hetty 200

Does the James have a round exhaust port and is it able to be a wet n dry as well?

Does the 160 have the same hour rating on the motor?

The price makes me hesitant to buy it. Our current vaccine is on its last leg, and we need to get a new one. I’m just trying to find a vacuum that will last.

Is this henry 110v?

love your channel...this vacuum seems to be the best but those eyes and cartoonish design is ugly ..almost embarrassing to have lol id probably paint over it

I personally think it’s the worst machine we have ever purchased, I doesn’t pickup from the carpet you have to press down so hard before it wants to pick up, also the pipes constantly bangs against your paint work leaving marks,the multi is NOT fabulous it’s useless all in all I have felt like smashing it to bits just due to frustration. So it’s going and we will go back to a DYSON! SorryHenry YOUR FIRED!!

My girlfriend wants me to get a Henry because of the face

That vac is ugly and it would piss me off dragging it behind
