Numatic HET200A Hetty Canister Vacuum Cleaner (Pink)

In addition to being a cheerful looking help, the vacuum is very well built, the two suction power levels are great. The high power really does a thorough job on deep carpeting. The brushes are good, well made, and the only bit of difficulty I've noticed is that the floor brush is a little harder to move on deep carpeting since it doesn't have rollers. But, I'm really happy with it, and works better than any other vacuum I've ever used.

This vaccuum is awesome. Very powerful. Versatile..can use on carpet, in your car, even on hardwood because of the different adapters. Best of all, it's PINK!! It is adorable. Me and my friend are moving out this summer and we want our house to be a little barbie house so when we saw this we had to buy it, and we love it!...IT IS NOT A SHOP VAC though, or however it is spelled..cannot use to dry wet spots so if that is what you are looking for do not buy. Also it shipped like a week earlier than it said it would :)

This is an excellent vacuum for hardwood floors and area. The suction is excellent and the long hose and cord go everywhere. The attachments are nice but aren't stored on the vacuum so you have to carry them separately. After wasting money on vacuums that broke after a short time it's great to find such a reliable product. Also so cute!

The pros: This vacuum is made in the UK instead of a country with questionable labor practices. It's cute, totally cute, and powerful. This vacuum doesn't throw cat litter around like my old vacuum did. (Well, this new vacuum doesn't have a rotating brush power head, so it CAN'T throw cat litter around.) It's quiet and doesn't scare the dog. It has a LONG cord, so long that I can plug it into a central location of our 1800sq house and reach everywhere. It has a hook on the long wand so the thing can stand up and not fall over and bop me on the head when I open the closet door (speaking from past experience with former vacuums). I like the wind up crank. I like the long bristles on the attachment brush because the bristles reach into deep crevices that my old vacuum couldn't. And I like the long hose and wand. I can reach cobwebs on our 10-foot-high ceiling without having to stand on a chair. Did I mention how powerful this thing is? It's got great suction without hurting my eardrums. Great vacuum. The cons: I thought not having a rotating brush power head was a minus, but then I learned that those rotating brushes can be hard on carpet fibers. So if you just get a powerful vacuum that sucks up dirt, it doesn't have to beat the fibers to death. But a true con is that the sections of the wand don't lock together. They are just pressure fit. Every time I vacuum, the wand falls apart at least once. My husband tried to shove the wand pieces together with that gorilla grip of his, but within 5 minutes, the first two sections came apart. I've learned to vacuum while not yanking on the wand, kind of a bummer to have to think about. Other than not having a wand that locks in place, this is a fabulous, cute (really cute), powerful, quiet vacuum. Happy customer!

The actual NEW Hetty vacuum is WONDERFUL!!! However, Amazon did not send a new one as advertised and for which I paid...they sent some old, beat up, filthy-dirty, used vacuum cleaner. So be very, very wary in ordering this item from Amazon.com since it is their policy to palm off used returns as new vacuums. That said, Amazon Customer Service was GREAT in providing me with a postage/shipping paid label to send this item back and in refunding my money fairly quickly. It was a big hassle to go through this...but their customer service was stellar. I did not re-order Hetty from Amazon.com, I went directly to Go Vacuum (the Amazon supplier) because Amazon lost my trust with this one. Go Vacuum did a wonderful job and I now have my terrifically brand new Hetty to go with a previously purchased Henry.

Much quieter than any other vacuum we have used. Lots of air flow. It is just loud enough that you tend to raise your voice slightly to talk, but not loud enough to interfere with conversation. It is similar to an older dishwasher. The noise from the machine is about the same as the noise from the air flow from the hose which is the same air flow noise you get on any vacuum cleaner. The manual says it is rated at 63.9 to 67.1 dB depending on high or low setting. It comes with 4 bags that are easy to install (NVM-1CH). The face is removeable if that bothers you. High is 1200W, Low is 600W, airflow is listed as 42 L/sec, with suction at 2500mm W.G. / 1500mm W.G. (Water Guage) for high/low settings. Weight listed as 6.9 kg (15.2 lbs) but it seems light enough to us to easily carry up stairs. Switching between high and low is easy. Removal of top and bag is easy. Note that Henry and Hetty are identical except for color (compared all spec.s on website). Harry has the same spec.s as well, but comes with 1 additional brush attachment for hair / pets. To reduce air flow to safely clean drapes, there is a bypass on the handle that drops it from 100% to 70% flow. The bend in the handle is offset and reversible to make it better fit tall or short people. Dimensions listed for the main unit are 340x340x370mm so roughly 13.5"x13.5"x14.5".

I've had Hetty for a year now. I love this vacuum. Easy to use. So cute. But, the best part is it actually works and well. I have never had such an easy time vacuuming. I do the floor get the baseboards drapes window sills in one run. Changing the bags is a breeze. I will never own any other brand.

I've only had this vaccuum cleaner a short time, so I have no idea whether or not it will last, but I must say it's the best cleaner I've ever had. It's relatively lightweight (compared to Dyson), very easy to trundle around, and to carry, if need be. It's easy to empty the bag, a skoosh to clean the filter. The hand-wound cord is long enough for me to do the entire house (bungalow)from one plug. It operates almost without any noise at all, and the suction is amazing. I have never had my carpet so clean. Furthermore, the long-haired dusting brush is soft enough to use on all furniture without scratching. Another plus, is that the head and the metal pipes are narrow enough to slide quite easily underneath most furniture ...which is great for lazy hooverers like me! You can do a great cleaning job of your entire floor without having to move everything aside. There is a suction-adjusting valve on the handle, in case the suction needs slightly reduced at times (it might!) and also a suction-booster switch on the machine itself, which I have not had occasion to use yet. I think this machine is powerful enough to pull weeds, although this is NOT recommended! If there is a downside ...and this is very slight ...it is a bit challenging to disengage the main floor sweeper from the metal handle, in order to fit another head. This involves a bit of determined twisting and tugging, before they come apart. However, I find this gets easier with use. I am amazed at the quality of this machine, and have been recommending it to all my friends. I must say, I never took this brand seriously before, probably because of the little smiley faces. More fool me.

Excellent produit, je recommande,fil électrique assez long ,fiabilité et surtout la garantie 5ans de plus sympa la tête de cette aspirateur.

Excellent commercial grade vac

I have lots of pets, I have tried Dyson and Miele vacuums, they could not do the job. This vacuum is way better! Love it!

I looked at a lot of reviews before purchasing my Hetty as I was fed up with the 2 Dysons I had previously owned. The Dysons seem to need a lot of TLC as they require a lot of filter cleaning. To carry this our you need very capable dexterity. I got very fed up of this and found myself frustrated as the hovers eventually lose suction! Don't know whether this was because we didn't clean the filters as often as we should have? However - whatever the reason, I decided changing a Hoover bag is far more preferable to the numerous filter changes of the legendary Dysons. The Hetty is a no nonsense Hoover that does what it says on the tin. It's simple to use with long hoses and cables and is easy to Change the bag. I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely Hoover.
