“UNSAFE/UNUSEABLE”

written by Canarysong on 26/05/2011

I have found the Henry Vacuum Cleaner by Numatic International to be UNSAFE and difficult to use. I would like to emphasize UNSAFE! The long attachments DO NOT fasten together with proper knobs and catches and ALWAYS COME APART when in use. I would like to emphasize ALWAYS! They have been like this from new out of the box and I have been injured on numerous occasions when the long extensions just fall away and disconnect from each other WHILE vacuuming with the chrome/stainless steel extensions hitting me and falling on the floor. It would make this a much better product if the attachments actually attached with a proper snap on feature because no matter how tightly you think you have fitted them they come apart in use. Without the extensions and the ability to vacuum the floor from an upright position, I find this product almost UNUSEABLE. I have recently purchased a Miele and though it was more expensive it was well worth the money so I recommend you buy a Miele instead
