    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe’ve had George in our family for over 15 years. In that time he has helped to do the standard weekly vacuum but also clean carpets where needed.
    But what really stands out, is that I only just realised that George is old. He fell ill last week and I opened him up (easily) with a Philips screwdriver and found a loose wire on the main switch. Reconnected it and he’s back working again. While I was there I checked the carbon brushes that still had plenty of life left in them.
    I’ve also purchased a new pole part a few years ago, where one part broke off, but that was easy to source on the internet with spare part shops. In fact any part on George is found easily as spare parts.
    I guess the minor points about George are he is a bit clumsy and he isn’t the lightest. But once you get used to how he wheels around you’ll be fine.
    Also, don’t expect miracles on a heavy carpet stain. The provided solution cleans the dirt out and you’ll see all the dirty water once you’ve used him. However, heavy stains may take some additional cleaning solution to remove.
    I’ve just used George to suck up loads of other liquids and cleaners. You don’t need to just use him with the provided cleaning solution.
    I’ve been really happy with George with over 15 years service. That really is value for money.

    Absolutely fantastic vacuum. Powerful suction. Very versatile with the wet and dry functions. Cleaned our sofas up a treat! Only very small gripe is the cable storage which is just a hook on the side of the machine. It would be great if it had an auto-rewind function like some of the Henry hoovers do, but otherwise it is very well designed, robust and easy to use.

    Great suction and utensils, shampoos and hoovers. great. Only downside is not very manouverable. When wheeling along it regulary falls over.
    i had the same model previously but the motior went, great versatile machines

    Great on the carpets and hallway but cumbersome in the bedroom and bathroom as the unit is big. Good suction in wet mode on spills.

    Golden Review Award: 73 From Our UsersYears ago I bought a Hetty vacuum cleaner. It vacuumed well and was easy to use, but I was bewitched by a seemingly all singing and dancing upright by a well known brand. I sold Hetty and regretted it. I’ve bought carpet shampoo machines too; not impressed by any including the top brands.

    I wanted a machine that would serve as a vacuum cleaner for regular round the house use, plus a carpet shampooer as I want to freshen my carpets regularly and I was hoping for a machine rugged enough to clear up things like a dusty garage floor.

    George does it all. Seriously, it tackles each of these different tasks with ease. The design has changed little, but I find this model the easiest to use in terms of changing and hoses and switching between functions. The capacity is endless, whether it’s dust and day to day carpet cleaning or more heavy duty shampooing. The suction is incredible and following recent water damage to a fitted carpet, this machine was outstanding at sucking up the moisture in a waterlogged fitted carpet. The shampoo tank which holds the clean shampoo water is separate to the dirty water tank.

    There’s a hose for wet jobs and a separate hose for dry. Comes with a bottle of shampoo which is generous enough to clean all the carpets in my home more than once. Plus there are 4 cylinder bags for day to day dust collection. Easy to fit, huge capacity and when full just remove and dispose of…they can be emptied and reused if you wish. Good for removing pet hairs a long hose for nooks and crannies and I’m even more pleased that the cleaner is UK made. Easy to store as it’s compact. Quality item, worth every penny as it will give years of service. Very highly recommended

    Bought this Henry machine a few months ago and waited to do a review. It’s is pretty easy to use a little on the heavy but it does an amazing job. Instructions are easy to use and the suction for the vaccum is great when you swap over from carpet cleaner and back. No issues at all. If you use the handheld it cleans better then the large carpet head.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersOK so I’m old and over the years I have had all types of vacuum cleaners except Dyson, which I think are the ugliest thing ever made from plastic, but I have used my mother in law’s.
    I needed a new one to replace a well used Sebo and I have a Hetty on my boat which I love ( in a non physical way I have to stress – see review) so I went for George so I could clean some rugs and carpets at home. As an ordinary ‘dry’ hoover it is amazing, the suction actually lifts my porch mat off the floor. I have used the wet facility on a pure wool cream carpet which is 8 years old and I was thinking of replacing but it was only dirty around the bed which is less than a quarter of the whole carpet. I did use a non numatic shampoo but the result I have to say was incredible. The carpet not only came clean it actually brought up the pile as well and the whole thing, I exaggerate not, came up like new. So I am well pleased with my purchase. My only criticism is that there are a lot of accessories to store and, unlike Hetty, the cord does not retract, minor issues given the results achieved.

    overall a good hoover, a bit bulky and heavy and clumsy to use but fantastic cleaning and suction.
    build quality is excellent
    I would suggest that the manufacturer might consider using a different colour for the wet and dry function buttons just to make it a little easier to know which is which at a glance, but that is all

    Golden Review Award: 28 From Our UsersWhen I first used the George GVE I nearly left it a three star review, however the more I used it the more I realised how invaluable it is.

    Firstly, the suction is absolutely incredible, in fact it is too good for everyday carpet vacuuming. The incredible suction makes it hard work to move the tools back and forth on the carpet, therefore it is bit impracticable at times. It WILL clean as good as any other or better than any other cleaner though.

    Using my George, I cleaned an old bed sheet that was fit for the bin, it had lots of bobbles on it and looked really old. I put it on a bed and sucked of every ground in bobble, and the sheet looks like new and lives on.

    We had a flood at home which my wife kind of mopped up, but she told me two days later when the room was beginning to stink. I used George and sucked out a few litres of water! Once the carpet dried thoroughly (another couple of days) the stink went away.

    The bath and kitchen sink were very slow in draining. Forget a plunger… I used George to suck out loads of bits of gunk. The result… freely flowing sink and bath drainage.

    I brought a grotty rug back to a respectable life by using George in the carpet shampooing and wet vac mode. It’s hard work though once you get a big attachment on the end. The smaller carpet cleaning attachments are much more manageable.

    For large areas of carpet cleaning, then perhaps a more professional upright cleaner with a moving beater bar might be easier. Or for general carpet vacuuming then the Henry I think is more practical. If you want something for emergencies, and to suck up literally anything you throw at it, then go for George!

    It does a great job. I valeted the car and deep cleaned the couch so far. Used daily in a Henry body and has good suction. Hope it lasts 10 years like my Henry did.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI bought this item after reading the reviews posted by other buyers. I must admit that even at the time of purchase i had some doubt, as the reviews appeared too good to be true. However, i must say that i was pleasantly surprised with the product, as it surpassed all my expectations. It actually deep-cleaned the carper and completely sucked the water used out of it. After 3 to 4 hours the carpet (3 bedrooms) was completely dry – (as opposed to previous rented vacuum carpet cleaner used before – where the carpet took 2 days to dry). Very good machine and definitely worth the price.. Five stars all the way.

    Golden Review Award: 47 From Our Users*NOTE:

    Please do not be put off by my review, the ONLY fault, and this is in my own case, is the rubber hose that supplies water to the sprayer.
    Take a look at other customers on here and you’ll see most are happy. So this obviously isn’t a widespread problem.
    Just my rotten luck as usual!

    I want to give this a 5 star rating, it genuinely deserves it, except for the rubber water supply hose in my case.

    REVIEW:

    It was delivered on the 28th of July, and that evening i used it for a few (maybe four) hours to clean two sections of carpet, one in the hallway (around 14ft long by 5ft wide hallway) and also in a mainroom, but only got part of that done when the rubber hose split at the trigger.

    However, there are two problems, and both are related to the rubber water supply hose.

    1) The rubber water hose is too short to connect up if you use all the metal hoover tubes (3 of them).
    It clearly shows in the instructions, a woman using the washer with all three of the metal tubes. In my case, the hose would not stay attached at the bottom where the sprayer is, as it kept popping off.
    I almost got hit in the eye with the hose when i was first trying to connect it up as it popped off and lashed toward my face, but it luckily only caught me on the cheekbone!

    I thought running it through with warm water and giving it a bit of a stretch that it would loosen and be able to meet the connection and stay connected, but this has not happened, despite even trying to stretch the hose in a basin of warm water, then i tried again hot water. No luck, or better put, just my luck.
    I’m 6ft tall, and without that third section of the metal tube in place, my back took a beating when scrubbing the carpet with the water brush. It worked very well anyway, so I’m happy with the end result, despite the annoying backpain i got from using it to do the cleaning.

    I get a feeling there’s going to be some trick to getting the rubber water hose to connect up while using all three of the metal hoover tubes, even though there shouldn’t be some trick to get it to connect. It should just connect up with a bit of slack left over.

    2) The fixing for the rubber water hose where the trigger is, must have something of an edge, as the rubber water hose has developed a split, and water now squirts from there.
    I suspect some plumbers tape will be able to fix this, but still, that it happened after doing the hallway carpet and then part of the main room carpet is quite sad. I can’t even recall touching this section of the rubber hose, not even when attaching the trigger to the metal tubing. The plumbers tape as a solution would only be a temp fixer, since the hose would simply continue to tear along the split due to the pressure of the water. So it would need replacing eventually.

    – As to the function and build quality of the machine, it’s as you’d expect for the type of machine it is. It just works, there is a kind of magic to it even. I kept expecting it to explode or short the main fuse box, but it just worked.
    Both Dry and Wet hoover modes are great.

    TO THE MANUFACTURER:
    I see a design flaw already with the wet hose. The simple fact the rubber water hose is taped onto the larger intake hose.
    It would have been easier to simply supply wide and thick elastic bands put over the thicker water intake hose to feed the rubber water supply hose through, which would also allow customers to more easily replace the rubber water hose if/when it gets damaged. As it is now, it looks like I’d have to return that whole part, and as we know, more weight and bulk means larger parcel size and higher postage costs.

    A larger trigger for us men who have large hands would be nice too.

    In summery, the machine is great, it works wonders in wet mode, and does the job you’ve come to expect from this brand when it comes to dry hoovering. I can’t fault it there.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersNow i will just start by clearing something up. In no way was i influenced by numatic to review this product and the fact that my car is sign written with “i love numatic” is pure coincidence, and my kids James, Henry and Charles and of course Hetty my lovely wife can also tell you that it has not affected them at all.
    Ok to the review.
    The adoption of George went smoothly, a knock on the door and the charming delivery girl uttered in almost english “sign ere mate” I could see those dark black eyes on the adoption box staring at me and the day had finally arrived.
    So that i didnt startle him, i unpacked George in semi darkness, i have used this approach on many occasions, however since the last incident with a chainsaw i named “fred” i have allowed for slightly more light and can count on my remaining fingers how successful this has been.
    George was packed to perfection, his tools tucked away like “the ladyboys” of bangkok with no chance of unwanted movement thus preventing exposure to damage.
    I lifted that little fella from his box and those big dark eyes looked back at me lovingly as if to say “thanks for purchasing me”.
    George came with an array of tools that would put a naturist sauna to shame, different shapes,sizes and even something to get into those hard to reach crevices!!!!
    Today was Georges first outing into the world of cleaning. i decided to start small, a car mat.
    George did not hesitate and within moments was sucking away all the DNA deposits off the mats, dried blood, bone and just a hint of hair. I then changed him into the wash mode and tralaaaaaaaa he took away any chance of being caught…oops sorry…. stains returning. He left the mats nearly dry and was ready for more!!!!
    I then decided not to rush him and did the bottom of the stairs….i thought “lets take it easy George one step at a time”….hahahaha.
    Again he peformed well and left them cleaner than a husbands internet search history when the wife knocks on the door of the office. (private browsing cmon guys).
    So in conclusion George is settling in well, he fits into the family and he is the perfectionist when it comes to household cleaning.

    Now i am just popping out to pay a cheque in from an ermmmm acquaintance….Mr Norman Umatic lovely man so generous.

    enjoy the adoption process.

    Golden Review Award: 26 From Our UsersI am very satisfied with product and I would recommend it to everyone. Delivered to Ireland earlier than it should take. Five star.
    It does what is said and even more. Packed in large box with cartoon protection, very safe to travel. Includes all what is mentioned and shampoo as well. It comes with four bags. It’s made of plastic, but very good quality. Cable and hoses lengths are great. Easy to assemble, to use and to clean. Sound is not to loud if you ask me.
    My floors are made of mixed materials wood, tiles, carpets, and I have a dog. Hoovering is just perfect, it collects everything and there are small extensions for different tasks as edges, dust from furniture and I also hoover my dog 🙂 (I think that only my dog likes to hoovering him).
    Wet cleaner: I cleaned tiles, all bathroom including side tiled walls, bath, shower tube, carpets of different material, half leather inside car… I was wondering how much dirt I had around especially in carpets and on the car seats. If you are out of water you will hear different sound and as well if you sucked too much water. Don’t worry about leaking cause it’s very good made. Plastic extensions are very good especially because you can see dirt water through it, so you can know when to stop.
    It will stay a little wet, but not too much.
    It sucks water easily.
    Only few bad sides, but nothing to take serious.
    It will not clean very old dirt as easy as the other dirt, and some stains you cannot clean with anything. You will need a little more space for George. Wet cleaning on some edges is really demanding.
    All in all, I like it very much.
    There is pics before and after…

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Usersgreat machine, bought this to replace a severely abused and battered 15year old george!
    Even at full rrp they are cheaper than they’ve ever been. There is nothing out there to compete with anything this mark provides.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersThis cleaner is great; multi-purpose top of its class. It really does pick up the dirt and can be called upon for liquid spills or carpet cleaning. This is my second the first having done great service over 30 years; it was cheaper than buying spares for the old as much was worn. Everything for a George is available but it really is a pretty touch workhorse.
    The reach with flex and pipe is enormous, not the quietest but does the job. This really does extract water back from carpets where my dedicated carpet shampoo machine (VAX) fails and of course this can do car seats and carpets and staircases. This is also better for vinyl/wood floors as it really gets up the moisture which is fairly essential and can get into corners. I use the dedicated shampoo cleaners for these as you do not want too much foam to be created. I use the Numatic bags as they seem to be far more serviceable and even with heavy use they last for ages.
    It is worth noting its size as the water collector and additional piping/fittings have to be stored – not a problem for me but a warning that it requires much more space than a Henry but has far more features.

    Shame the power cord doesn’t wind in like Henry’s does but I used it to valet the carpet and upholstery in a very, dirty car (along with G101) and it did a good, professional job.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersHaving used a VAX equivalent before, I have to say that this machine blows it out the water (no pun intended). The setup is incredibly easy, straight out the box, connect a couple of hoses, fill with water and cleaning solution and your ready to go. Suction is amazing and the motor isn’t as noisy as others either. Would never, ever buy another brand again. Well worth the 200 I spent on it.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersAn amazing machine i use it everyday to vaccum and clean up spills and wash my floors its so easy to switch between the wet and dry function the only downside being you have a lot of useful parts to store

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersGot this to replace a Dyson Animal and a Vax upright carpet shampooing machine.

    The performance is fantastic. Sucks rugs off the floor if they’re not held down! Not only does the dry performance exceed the admittedly knackered Dyson, the carpet shampooing performance is equally impressive.

    Like other reviews mentioned, i attached a vax spinscrub floor head for carpet scrubbing duties. Handles muddy pile and puppy accidents with no fuss.

    Switching from wet to dry is easy. Swap hose, take out bag and filter, then put the detergent tank then wet filter in. Turn on the pump and suction, you’re good to go! It’s simple. Plenty of accessories, but the unit is simple and tough. Which is what you want in a vacuum.

    Beyond what’s in the box, I’d recommend picking up a couple of reusable bags and the Vax Spinscrub floorhead. There’s also a numatic dry vacuuming turbine head as well. Might invest in that at some point as it has wheels and the suction of the unit makes pushing about the basic floor head a little tough!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFantastic machine. The wet function is incredibly good, cleaning rough brick floors and very soiled carpets with ease. The huge bag for the dry (ordinary) vacuum operation and the extremely long cord make it very convenient for cleaning a big house. The only down sides are the lack of storage for the cord and the hand tools.

    Terrific machine – excellent vacuum cleaner – excellent wet cleaner. Brilliantly strong suction. The only gripe is that it cannot carry its own tools or stow the tools and the hose around its body. Otherwise brilliant.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is a really terrific vacuum cleaner, especially if you use a turbobrush on carpets ( Hint, the Vax turbobrush Vax Genuine Quick-Clean Premium TurboBrush 32mm is a better tool and easier to clean out than The Numatic Airobrush ) it has oodles more suction than a Dyson Animal and is far better made . Also it is an extremely good tool for washing tiled floors , cleaning water up after a flood etc. but as a carpet cleaner….hmm, well it was nothing special really. I was less than impressed. The problem seemed to be that silly plastic fish tail extractor thingy that is supposed to suck up the dirty water, you end up spraying say a couple of litres of water/ cleaning solution onto your carpet and only getting half a litre of water sucked back into the dirty water tank, leaving the carpet wet and only moderately clean. As I said before the machine itself has loads of suction power but that fish-tail is the weakest link, it does not adhere to the carpet at all . Then I had a sort of a brainwave. Many moons ago I used to use a Vax wet and dry vac. (I still have it, but it is semi-retired now in the garage I use it as a workshop vac) and I remembered that the carpet cleaning head supplied with that seemed to work very well indeed Vax 3-in-1 Vacuum Cleaner Large Multi Function Wash Head I found that and after a bit of ‘fiddling and diddling’ ( i.e. adapting the water supply pipe to fit the Vax head inlet nipple, The head itself is standard 32mm fitting so that was not a problem) fitted that to Mr. George. WOW what a huge difference that makes. Now it makes a really beautiful job of our carpets, in fact I can honestly say it works better on George than it did when originally fitted to the Vax. That head clings to the carpet pile as you pull it backwards, thus drawing all the water and dirt out, put it this way, I am emptying the dirty water tank far more often than when I was using that ‘as much use as a chocolate teapot fish tail’ and after a quick vacuuming afterwards the carpets look like new again. So in a nutshell, 5 stars , albeit after a slight modification.
    Edit. Now I use one of these on it for carpet shampooing, A Vax ‘Spinscrub’ head Vax Genuine Multi-Function SpinScrub Premium Wash Head That is even better. George certainly has plenty of ‘oomph’ to spin those brushes around.

    just bought it and love it.
    two negatives though:
    1. hoses do not have a clip and may slide 🙁
    2. Top heavy

    great suction, easy to use, needs a bit of space for the staff

  86. Doretha73G says:

    Very powerful suction. A bit too much for my 2 bed flat but can’t fault the product. Also you need large store room to store it away. Does the job. Not tried the wet yet.

    This new model replaces old George which served me well for almost 20 years. That’s why I didn’t hesitate in buying another. A highly recommended piece of quality kit.

  88. KristianCrensha says:

    I bought one like this 30 years ago, it was a different colour (white) but the same make. It was used in my small shop for 18 years, when the water pump/spray eventually unit failed it was used at home for another 12 years as the power unit for a central vacuum system.
    I bought a cheaper carpet cleaner vac but it was not as good, so decided to get another Numatic.
    I will be very pleased if this lasts as long as the first one.

    his my second Numatic 3 in one .
    had the first one for 15 years (and i bought it second hand) used it constantly until it burnt out..
    this new one is made to the same quality as my old one which is why i bought it.
    very east to set up and very good tools..

    I love my new George , he sucks up everything so easily.
    Wish he came with the aerohead as this makes hoovering so much easier, great for cat hairs , I have 4 !
    Am yet to use the shampooing mode but am sure he won’t let me down .
    Got a really good price on amazon , 40 less than I had seen it elsewhere

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI remember seeing George as a child stowed away in some TV shop. It wasn’t until years later when I didn’t want to fork an extortionate amount of cash renting a deep cleaner that I would end up reunited with good old George!

    Is George worth it? I would say he starts paying for himself rather fast if you don’t mind switching between dry, wet and shampoo mode which can take a short while; I won’t lie. But if you dry vacuum floors, carpets and upholstery very quickly but only shampoo surfaces on occasion then this is not a problem at all. It only becomes a pain if you tend to spill things a lot and want a vacuum to deal with the mess. I have heard the wet capabilities are superior to the Orange Vax but as I have no experience I can’t back up that claim. The dude is well put together, the instructions are well presented if a tiny bit confusing in some sections; the accessories are intuitive, cleverly yet simply designed. The only thing that annoyed me was that Henry Hoover’s cord rewind wasn’t mobilized in George.

    I haven’t owned him long enough to comment on his long-term reliability (loss of suction etc.) but the warranty is 2 years and Numatic has a brilliant reputation. And he is so damn cute. If you have had a rubbish day, George’s big grin cheers you up – I’m sure studies can back up the dopamine boosting effects of smiling!

    My advice – go to youtube and watch the 45minute demonstration video to make up your mind. Final word: go George!

    Shame there is nowhere to store dry tools when wet vacuuming, or wet tools when dry vacuuming.

    An automatic cord rewind would be helpful, and some sort of clip to hold the shaft in place in storage.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThese are great! powerful, strong, consistent suction. Fabulous for automotive work (I do Pro Car Detailing). and easy to switch to the wet function which I have to do a lot! a real work horse. Nothing better in my line of work. Thoroughly recommended. Great supplier too.

    Brought our faithful Henry to Greece in ’94. Alas, he’s getting a little tired and noisy so we’ve pensioned him off to light (car-cleaning) duty. George has just had his test-flight and performed admirably. Well done Numatic, and Amazon for getting him to our Greek island home.

  96. Steven Parker says:

     United Kingdom

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGeorge has an generous power lead and unlike my previous Henry, where it is wound up and stored inside the unit, we are left to coil it up by hand so it can be hung on a flimsy plastic hook where it promptly drops off the moment your back is turned. Not having a proper cable store means however close you are to a socket, you have thirty feet of chord trailing about to trip over and get itself snarled in knots.

    The carrying handle is a weak affair too. When filled with water, George is heavy and the handle flexes noticeable when you pick it up. I wonder how long that will last as the plastic ages?

    The vacuum hose is unexpectedly short too. Much less than supplied with my previous Numatic cleaners and this means constantly yanking the cleaner forwards at each stroke. Actually, the cleaner comes with a second “wet” hose which has the ability to carry the shampoo to the spray heads. This second “wet” hose is four feet longer than the standard “dry” hose.

    Overall, this is a sturdy and powerful cleaner, and I don’t regret parting with my money but I cant help feeling disappointed that there are a few obvious minor niggles that could so easily be sorted by Numatic at virtually no additional cost.

  97. Brian Bennett says:

    I have borrowed a George for carpet cleaning over more years than I can remember but decided to take the plunge and buy my own. The more recent design shows a few improvements in what was already a good product. Everything fitted together with no problem at all. The long hose and cable means that it is straightforward to use on stairs. Does the job of carpet cleaning well – I’m not at present planning to use it ‘dry’ so will not need to switch mode – but it does not look to the that difficult in any case.

  98. Helen says:

    The strapline says it all, easy to use, efficient and cheaper than leading brands which are significantly more expensive… the only thing I would say is you will need spade to store both George and his various components. If you have the space, you will not be disappointed.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAfter reading up on carpet cleaners for weeks I finally came across George. Since we already owned a Henry I knew the quality was good and instantly ordered the George.

    It is amazing. The suck is so much more powerful than the Henry, so powerful in fact that it pulled up my not-very-well-fitted carpets. We used the wet vac to clean our carpets in a rental house that had quite clearly never been cleaned and they have come out like new.

    Couldn’t rate this anymore, we bought this for a carpet cleaner and I think it’s the best on the market.

    Well worth the money.
