Hoover.......



Henry.......



Don't call a Henry a Hoover, the Hoover brand has been crap for years.

Just called a local branch to ask if they had any in stock and at this price? Chap on the phone told me to try visiting the website, to which I asked him if he'd ever tried finding anything on the Asda website? He said it never seems to work for him! What makes you think it'll work for me? I said and that's where the conversation ended.:disappointed:

Thanks for that, you had me on tender hooks until the end.

When is the next installment?


edit: Heat for the OP, great deal.

​What are tender hooks? I've heard of tenterhooks.

In stock and £95 at Mount Pleasant, Hull. Out of stock at Bilton, Hull.

Hot deal if you can get it, but has anyone got it for this price?

Nature abhors a vacuous post!

P.S. See posts #10 and #14.

I am aware of that blanket term, along with people calling all e-readers kindles, all 4x4's Jeeps, all smart phones iphones etc etc...I have recently learned that the verb to hoover something is actually in the dictionary! However I hate the blanket term of all vacuum cleaners as 'Hoover's', let's hope iphone, ipad and kindle never make it into the Oxford dictionary as verbs.

This deal sucks!

ha ha yes very true but for some reason and me included many people have always associated any task, action or physical carpet dust removal device as a Hoover, for instance "i am going to hoover the car"

Stock levels will fall dramatically, without any increase in sales

You seem to have got your reply mixed up in the quotes there!

none in blackburn

We've got a couple at work. Reasonably reliable and easy to fix if they go wrong, but the damn hoses come off far too easily! The cleaners don't like them at all.

I just rang our Asda and this is what I got (besides wasted phone call)...
'Henry? Sorry, sir... I'll check. Is that George? (no, I'm Nigel :smile: )
Ahh, yes, you mean Numatic vac cleaner called 'Henry'.
Yes sir, we have 3 Numatic vac cleaners in stock and the Henry is currently on offer in store - I now get excited!! :innocent: - that soon ends, with 13% off - yes sir it is now just ...£95. :confused:
You said you are local, shall I put it aside for you?' No, but thanks for your trouble. :disappointed:

WTF do people vote hot when this was in probably just one Asda store and probably one only, which is probably a return?
It's over a 1000 degrees and apart from the lister, probably nobody else has been able to get one.

COLD ...ICE F. COLD!!!

So, let's get this straight. I'm not blaming the person listing it. I'm blaming the dicks voting hot for something that is available virtually nowhere else.

I will add my name to make the minority smaller.

Yes, they do - but they're very reasonable from Amazon.

I've been using the hepafilter ones from there, but they're expensive at around £10-12 for 10.

You can get these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoover-Numatic-Henry-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B00CBEZBE8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463573566&sr=8-3&keywords=henry+hoover+bags

For £3 for 10 and I think they're okay. They're pretty large, so you'd probably go through 1 a month.

Do these need bags inside like in the olden days?

Mine fell apart about a fortnight after buying. Hose kept falling off. Piece of **** crap. They don't use them commercially because they are good, they use them because they are cheap and simple.

More likely to be store specific. :wink:

​it might be store pacific but ring them before u set off

The thing with Henry's they very rarely break, i've had a couple over the years & have sucked up all manor of crap at work & they just seem to plod on.

I don't think they're great for around the house tbh, too cumbersome & they bang into everything & scratch your door frames & furniture. Horses for courses i guess.:smiley:

inspector dufus (scream movie) is making his way to Asda Blackburn as we speak!

We have a henry for our scout hut (at the insistence of one of the committee) - its crap, just pushes dirt around the floor, only picks up if its permanently on "hi" and you have to buy bags for it (is this still the fifties?)

Great deal (voted hot) but dont understand the popularity of what is a below average vacuum...

but remember its a doggy dog world out there :-)

Personally I wanted henrietta to take care of the sucking but my wife wasnt to happy about it.

My local store also has the same, do these scan at 47.50?

Ok if you want to wrestle a 30ft python around the house.

thank you for your useful comment

George, Oh Myyy!

Although hot there is going to be none left for anyone, we are just a bunch of suckers

Same, I never use the low wattage mode on my old Henry, not a big fan of it. I don't think low power mode old Henry equates to the same as the new Henry though.

Not necessarily magic, but I guess using the car analogy in my first post could be a reasonable explanation. As in, some modern cars can go twice as far on the same fuel with the same engine power as older cars. Using my very basic science knowledge from my school days (if anyone’s an expert and can explain it better than me, please do!), things like heat and noise is basically wasted energy, and as technology improves and more efficient motors are designed, the energy used goes more towards suction (it's intended purpose, obviously) and less towards heat (unintended).

where is that?

the stocks will get hoovered up in no time

What the hell are tender hooks???

Presumably you meant tenterhooks?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenterhook

Get ready for years of you putting the middle finger up and calling him 'King Henry as he gets stuck behind doors, table legs, every conceivable obstacle and some you'd never even thought of.
That rubber band around the middle aides this, and fuels your frustration.

Local store just showing the £105 down to £95 price.
Are these scanning at half price or should it be displayed, p

I'm confused with all the different models. Who's better at sucking, Henry or Henrietta?

Tender hooks? Google tenterhooks, every day's a school day!

I thought the same, but a video on YouTube shows that the lower power Henry has more suction bizarrely. Must be a more efficient motor.

Its numatic international.

I bought mine fr same price from asda click and collect 18 months ago still going strong

I am not so sure, unless they have put some devils work into the motor and suction, I don't like running my Numatic PSP-200A model in 600W apart from on rugs....suction is not that powerful compared to the 1200W mode....are the new ones only 620W only I believe? They may have performed some magic I don't know about that someone might like to explain.

Far better than any Dyson

Go and read the reviews of the new lower wattage ones. Majority feel they still have the same suction power.

It's not ridiculous or unreasonable at all to push companies to work on more efficient vacuum cleaners. I'm pretty sure the whole Dyson range was already compliant when the law came in so it's not far fetched.

FWIW I have the old Henry and as much as I love it and rave about how good it is, it generates a fair amount of heat which is totally wasted energy.

I'm no tree-hugger but look at the engines that cars had 20 years ago compared to today's engines. Isn't progress with energy efficiency perhaps just a little bit of a good thing?



Half the wattage does not equate to half the suction power, which is the most important thing.

I came in expecting Henry gifs, am disappoint.

None in Edmonton Green :disappointed:

venkys out!!!!!

thanks

Can you upload receipt does it has specific model ?

None in Carlisle
Out of stock online but advertised at £105 on previous offer

none in my local stores :disappointed:

how many was there

None at Coventry, Walsgrave.

I just did a google image search to try and find something funny that I could post up in reply.

That's a load of stuff I can never unsee...

Half price and half the power compared to before the EU energy labels. 500w compared to 1000w. Seems Numatic want to screw their customers.

Check the power of the motor - should be either 1200 watt or 1400 watt, they are and were the decent of these kinds of hoovers, but think they reduced the size since the new ridiculous law came into effect.
If the motor power is much lower then £50 is a more reasonable price to pay than the £100 ish that is commonplace.

thanks

how much is the upright vacuum

​What are tender hooks? I've heard of tenterhooks.

Its about to get hot in here! This is an absolute bargain! Ppl are going to swallow this up :wink:

Incredible deal if you can get hold of one

None in Greenwich

now it's been posted of Facebook, this Asda store will have a huge number of extra customers.... some will leave empty some will end up shopping. great for asda profits!!

Can somebody pick 10 of these up for me so I can sell them on eBay and make a profit?

OOS on the website - perhaps a nationwide clearance ?? worth checking in stores

Who does he think he is, dealing out stories in chunks like that? Johnny Segment?

is this national?
