Where can I buy a George vacuum cleaner? I can find the Henry in a few London shops but not the George.
I've heard that the Henry is robust enough for DIY dust and woodchips but how does the George fare? Given that it's a wet-and-dry maybe it's too fancy to withstand heavy dirt?
And am I right in thinking that Numatic have no website with information about their products? In this day and age?
The George is bigger and also washes carpets with a pressure wash, not a piddle of water like the Vax.
There is no comparison.

Try online stores.
They're both heavy duty enough for diy, I've had a Henry and a Numatic industrial vacuum and they've both performed outstandingly.
Viking Direct sell them. Not always the cheapest but they soemtimes do good discounts.
This post me thinking as I was about to buy a new Vax so I had a google around and the best I can find is £165 delivewred from
No buy both they are cute. ;-)

I've known Henry for 10 years. He even lets me shove a tube up his jacksie. He copes well with plaster dust & rubble, but changing his bag is a pain in my ass as well as his.
There are plenty of hits on Google for >numatic george< e.g. BE Direct at about £200.
