As a general rule,.
Sadly, there aren’t many vacuum brands that still manufacture products in the UK..(of Henry Hoover fame) is really the only major vacuum manufacturer that still builds its products in the UK.
The company’s products are currently produced in a manufacturing facility in Chard, Somerset.The only exception is the Henry Quick cordless range, which is built in China.. All Numatic products are built in this factory, including their Henry and Hetty range, along with the various other members of the Henry “family.” Numatic also produces a range of industrial and commercial vacuum cleaners, which have stronger suction and more efficient filtration..The good news is that Numatic produces some excellent vacuum cleaners.
So, if you’re looking to buy a British-made vac, then the Henry (or any of the Numatic family) could be a great choice..Some of our favourite models from Numatic include:.
Numatic Henry Xtra.
The Henry Xtra improves on the Henry formula by adding a Turbo Brush for carpets.. Numatic James.While raw suction isn’t everything when it comes to a vacuum’s cleaning performance, the VC7020 won’t let you down in terms of power.. There’s also a suction adjustment dial, which is great for adjusting the vacuum when moving between different surfaces.. A downside is that the vacuum’s suction tends to reduce as the dust canister fills up.
This is a common issue we’ve found with cheaper vacuums, as these models don’t have the same level of cyclonic design found on vacuums like the Dyson.You’ll also need to properly maintain the filters, otherwise the vacuum will gradually lose suction over time.. Carpets.
If you have lots of carpets in your home, then the Duronic VC7020 could be a decent vacuum to buy.It’s not great when using the standard floor tool, but provides strong carpet cleaning performance with the turbo tool – especially considering the low price.. A drawback is that the turbo brush is a full-size floorhead.
