Henry W3791 George Wet and Dry Vacuum, 15 Litre, 1060 Watt, Green, Green / Black, 40 x 40 cm

*NOTE: Please do not be put off by my review, the ONLY fault, and this is in my own case, is the rubber hose that supplies water to the sprayer. Take a look at other customers on here and you'll see most are happy. So this obviously isn't a widespread problem. Just my rotten luck as usual! I want to give this a 5 star rating, it genuinely deserves it, except for the rubber water supply hose in my case. REVIEW: It was delivered on the 28th of July, and that evening i used it for a few (maybe four) hours to clean two sections of carpet, one in the hallway (around 14ft long by 5ft wide hallway) and also in a mainroom, but only got part of that done when the rubber hose split at the trigger. However, there are two problems, and both are related to the rubber water supply hose. 1) The rubber water hose is too short to connect up if you use all the metal hoover tubes (3 of them). It clearly shows in the instructions, a woman using the washer with all three of the metal tubes. In my case, the hose would not stay attached at the bottom where the sprayer is, as it kept popping off. I almost got hit in the eye with the hose when i was first trying to connect it up as it popped off and lashed toward my face, but it luckily only caught me on the cheekbone! I thought running it through with warm water and giving it a bit of a stretch that it would loosen and be able to meet the connection and stay connected, but this has not happened, despite even trying to stretch the hose in a basin of warm water, then i tried again hot water. No luck, or better put, just my luck. I'm 6ft tall, and without that third section of the metal tube in place, my back took a beating when scrubbing the carpet with the water brush. It worked very well anyway, so I'm happy with the end result, despite the annoying backpain i got from using it to do the cleaning. I get a feeling there's going to be some trick to getting the rubber water hose to connect up while using all three of the metal hoover tubes, even though there shouldn't be some trick to get it to connect. It should just connect up with a bit of slack left over. 2) The fixing for the rubber water hose where the trigger is, must have something of an edge, as the rubber water hose has developed a split, and water now squirts from there. I suspect some plumbers tape will be able to fix this, but still, that it happened after doing the hallway carpet and then part of the main room carpet is quite sad. I can't even recall touching this section of the rubber hose, not even when attaching the trigger to the metal tubing. The plumbers tape as a solution would only be a temp fixer, since the hose would simply continue to tear along the split due to the pressure of the water. So it would need replacing eventually. - As to the function and build quality of the machine, it's as you'd expect for the type of machine it is. It just works, there is a kind of magic to it even. I kept expecting it to explode or short the main fuse box, but it just worked. Both Dry and Wet hoover modes are great. TO THE MANUFACTURER: I see a design flaw already with the wet hose. The simple fact the rubber water hose is taped onto the larger intake hose. It would have been easier to simply supply wide and thick elastic bands put over the thicker water intake hose to feed the rubber water supply hose through, which would also allow customers to more easily replace the rubber water hose if/when it gets damaged. As it is now, it looks like I'd have to return that whole part, and as we know, more weight and bulk means larger parcel size and higher postage costs. A larger trigger for us men who have large hands would be nice too. In summery, the machine is great, it works wonders in wet mode, and does the job you've come to expect from this brand when it comes to dry hoovering. I can't fault it there.

What can I say? This is typical of a Henry or George style vacuum cleaner. Good range of included attachments including the wet and dry accessories and even some detergent for wet vacuuming. Plenty spare bags are also included as well as a good set of instructions on how to use everything. This is a typical Henry cylinder type cleaner, so if you’re used to and happy with Henry you should be fine with George. Only downside to George is his cable can’t be rewound back into the lid as per Henry, you have to coil it back up, but there are hooks to loop the cable onto. A minor inconvenience considering the extra wet functionality George has. I wanted George for car interior cleaning specifically and he’s great for this. Very powerful suction and he just works. My Original Henry I use in the house is 19 years old and has only needed one replacement motor in this time, I’m sure George will be just as reliable. These Numatic cleaners are just bullet proof workhorses that get the job done.

This is a really terrific vacuum cleaner, especially if you use a turbobrush on carpets ( Hint, the Vax turbobrush Vax Genuine Quick-Clean Premium TurboBrush 32mm is a better tool and easier to clean out than The Numatic Airobrush ) it has oodles more suction than a Dyson Animal and is far better made . Also it is an extremely good tool for washing tiled floors , cleaning water up after a flood etc. but as a carpet cleaner....hmm, well it was nothing special really. I was less than impressed. The problem seemed to be that silly plastic fish tail extractor thingy that is supposed to suck up the dirty water, you end up spraying say a couple of litres of water/ cleaning solution onto your carpet and only getting half a litre of water sucked back into the dirty water tank, leaving the carpet wet and only moderately clean. As I said before the machine itself has loads of suction power but that fish-tail is the weakest link, it does not adhere to the carpet at all . Then I had a sort of a brainwave. Many moons ago I used to use a Vax wet and dry vac. (I still have it, but it is semi-retired now in the garage I use it as a workshop vac) and I remembered that the carpet cleaning head supplied with that seemed to work very well indeed Vax 3-in-1 Vacuum Cleaner Large Multi Function Wash Head I found that and after a bit of 'fiddling and diddling' ( i.e. adapting the water supply pipe to fit the Vax head inlet nipple, The head itself is standard 32mm fitting so that was not a problem) fitted that to Mr. George. WOW what a huge difference that makes. Now it makes a really beautiful job of our carpets, in fact I can honestly say it works better on George than it did when originally fitted to the Vax. That head clings to the carpet pile as you pull it backwards, thus drawing all the water and dirt out, put it this way, I am emptying the dirty water tank far more often than when I was using that 'as much use as a chocolate teapot fish tail' and after a quick vacuuming afterwards the carpets look like new again. So in a nutshell, 5 stars , albeit after a slight modification. Edit. Now I use one of these on it for carpet shampooing, A Vax 'Spinscrub' head Vax Genuine Multi-Function SpinScrub Premium Wash Head That is even better. George certainly has plenty of 'oomph' to spin those brushes around.

Good quality cleaner that easily cleans carpets and fabrics, easy to use, tank is a bit small and needs frequent emptying of dirty water, other than that its brilliant.

This hover is amazing the best hover I have ever had, highly recommend it cleaned your carpet perfect hoover is up perfect all around. I definitely recommend this over.😊👍

I couldn't bring myself to mark it down for the one minor gripe that I have with it; the lead does not retract inside the machine. That's it! I bought this machine with my own money for use at home because I have a team of cleaners that use other machine in this series day in and day out with excellent results. Believe me when I tell you that those machines have survived shocking treatment by each user and all bear scars to prove it, but they still work. This vacuum has the same solid build and fantastically powerful suction. My son can't use it on carpet without opening collar to let some air in. I accidentally used it near some socks that I had just bought (don't do that!) and had to take the bag out of the machine to get them back out. So, we can say that it's powerful enough to suck all but the colour out of a carpet in the dry mode. In the extract mode it's even better, the liquid is sprayed into the carpet or onto the floor under pressure, unlike lesser brands, and the liquid pulled out is reassuringly filthy. Plenty of accessories are included and spares are readily available. One tip though, buy an additional cloth filter and change it at the same time as the bag (the white HEPA ones are best) and then the first job is to thoroughly vacuum the old one ready to be exchanged back the next time and alternate between the two. £200 or so is the correct price to pay, how some of these are being offered for well over £700 I do not know, it's good, but not THAT good! I have been through loads of Numatic cleaners and each and every one has performed faultlessly. They all retired after years of very hard use and abuse and have been tremendous value for money. In a domestic setting I really don't expect to have to replace it for a very long time.

I purchased this device in March 2020, based on the rave reviews on Amazon and everywhere else. We were moving to a new flat and needed a vacuum to do a wet clean of the carpets and then to use as a normal vacuum cleaner. Firstly, the wet cleaning function was used twice as per the instructions and the third time I tried, the pump would not start. So much for the loud statement on the Numatic website. "Numatic delivers professional, practical and reliable equipment, designed, engineered and made right here in the UK. Independently rated the UK’s most reliable vacuum brand, Numatic understands the need and demand for sustainable cleaning solutions" Purchased a replacement VAX Air™ Stretch Pet Max Upright Vacuum Cleaner. After using this new device, I question whether George was any good. The amount of hair and dust picked up by Vax suggested that George was incapable of performing to the same standard considering the size (everytime I see the Vax I think its a toy). Overall a disappointing device and Made in UK statement has no indication of the quality - more about the price you will need to pay for a device that is not able to do its job.

Now i will just start by clearing something up. In no way was i influenced by numatic to review this product and the fact that my car is sign written with "i love numatic" is pure coincidence, and my kids James, Henry and Charles and of course Hetty my lovely wife can also tell you that it has not affected them at all. Ok to the review. The adoption of George went smoothly, a knock on the door and the charming delivery girl uttered in almost english "sign ere mate" I could see those dark black eyes on the adoption box staring at me and the day had finally arrived. So that i didnt startle him, i unpacked George in semi darkness, i have used this approach on many occasions, however since the last incident with a chainsaw i named "fred" i have allowed for slightly more light and can count on my remaining fingers how successful this has been. George was packed to perfection, his tools tucked away like "the ladyboys" of bangkok with no chance of unwanted movement thus preventing exposure to damage. I lifted that little fella from his box and those big dark eyes looked back at me lovingly as if to say "thanks for purchasing me". George came with an array of tools that would put a naturist sauna to shame, different shapes,sizes and even something to get into those hard to reach crevices!!!! Today was Georges first outing into the world of cleaning. i decided to start small, a car mat. George did not hesitate and within moments was sucking away all the DNA deposits off the mats, dried blood, bone and just a hint of hair. I then changed him into the wash mode and tralaaaaaaaa he took away any chance of being caught...oops sorry.... stains returning. He left the mats nearly dry and was ready for more!!!! I then decided not to rush him and did the bottom of the stairs....i thought "lets take it easy George one step at a time"....hahahaha. Again he peformed well and left them cleaner than a husbands internet search history when the wife knocks on the door of the office. (private browsing cmon guys). So in conclusion George is settling in well, he fits into the family and he is the perfectionist when it comes to household cleaning. Now i am just popping out to pay a cheque in from an ermmmm acquaintance....Mr Norman Umatic lovely man so generous. enjoy the adoption process. j
