Henry

"Henry" is Numatic's most famous vacuum cleaner.. Introduced in 1981, this model is still in production today with a few minor changes from its original iteration.

Whilst the basic concept of Henry has remained the same since it's introduction, there has been several different versions of the Henry produced over the years, Here is the list of models and links to their pages.

 Standard Henry Models 

Henry HVC200 - 800W (1981-1988) http://numatic.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_HVC200 - This was the first version of the Henry produced, and the only one not to feature the rewindable cable reel. This model was available in red, and cream and brown.

Henry HVR200 - 1000W (1985-1995) -  This model of the Henry saw the introduction of the rewindable cable reel. When first introduced, this model was available in red, and cream and brown. The cream and brown variant was discontinued after a short time, and was replaced by green, blue and yellow model starting in 1992.

Henry HVR200 (Stabilizer) - 1000W (1995-1997) -  In 1995, a new model of the Henry was introduced that included a stabiliser on the rear of the bucket, to stop the machine from tipping over. Henry's face was also changed at this point, now being printed onto the bucket instead of having separate face stickers for the user to apply themselves. The face stickers, however, were still supplied with Numatic-branded machines and international releases until the mid-2000's.

Henry HVR200 (Outlined Coloured Font) - 1100W (1997-1998) - In 1997, the font on the front of the Henry machines was changed. This was the last model to include a power nozzle socket.

Henry HVR200 (Outlined White Font) - 1100W (1998-2003) -  In 1998, the power nozzle switch on the back of the machine was removed, and the red "Henry" font on the front of the machine was changed to white. This was to make the manufacturing process of Henry machines cheaper.

Henry HVR200 (Push Button Single Spd) – 1100W (2002-2004) -  in 2002, the single rocker switch on the back of the Henry was replaced with a larger, foot-operated switch. This model was only produced for two years, as the switches were known to easily break.

Henry HVR200-22 (Push Button 2 Spd) – 1100W (2004-2005) -  In 2004, the first two-speed Henry model was introduced. This mode, used the foot switch for the power, and had a green switch on the back to control the power setting.

Henry HVR200-22 (W/ Wheel Caps) – 1200W (2005-2006) -  In 2005, caps were introduced to the Henry (and other models') wheels.
