Having recently sent back a faulty wet and dry vacuum cleaner - a Karcher - i was hoping this one would work - and it does. however, it arrived with a slightly cracked carrying handle. so slight that it seemed not worth the effort to pack it up again and send it back; besides which, i need it NOW. so i thought i'd test the wet function out, and if it worked then i'd ignore the handle defect. happily it sucked water up vigorously, and in no time at all i had a clean kitchen floor - having simply slooshed bowls of water over the floor and sucked the water up again. less effort than a mop, and more efficient. (hopefully it'll perform equally well if i have to clean up muddy flood water, which is what i've bought it for.) i was very impressed with the ease of cleaning the wet filter - which is a lid and a basket-like attachment with a net covering, and a plastic float ball inside. i simply rinsed it under running water, and it was clean in a moment. it dried very quickly, too. the bucket part emptied easily, as it has a handle for carrying, and with a quick rinse round, i left it to dry upside down, outside. shortly afterwards i was able to reassemble the now-dry cleaner with the dry filter and dirt bag (five of these are provided)and it did a very good job of dry vacuuming a wooden floor, a rough stone flag floor and a carpeted staircase. top marks for suction, both dry and wet.
one definite point against this cleaner: (i found this with a previous Numatic cleaner, too.) the tubes assemble by pushing into each other, and they are difficult to push into place, and really difficult to get off again, especially if you have slightly arthritic hands. a simple twist and click mechanism would work so much better. the flex is extremely long, which is good, but does not retract into the cylinder, as some of the Numatic cleaners do. the various cleaning heads are well made, although the rubber-edged one for wet cleaning looks a little flimsy; time will tell whether it stands up to rough stone flags, etc. however, all the parts are easily replaceable from Numatic.
on balance - and assuming it keeps working as well as it's done so far, i think this is a good buy. i'd prefer the tubes to assemble much more easily, and i also found the top, which houses the motor, quite difficult to fix in place: the push-in 'ears' don't push in easily - they have to be practically kicked into place! these may seem small quibbles, but they all add up to extra expenditure of effort. please take note, Numatic!

Recently I have been getting air locks in my cold water system and the plumber came round with a blue Henry and left two minutes later with £80 of my cash. It happened again on sunday, but this time i ordered the Henry from Amazon monday lunchtime and it arrived 10am next day special delivery and by quarter past I had the water going again. Fantastic. The machine itself is great, robust, comes all set up for wet work but with all the dry stuff too, and has almost paid for itself within ten minutes.

Very good in both dry and wet mode. Suction is very good like all numatic vacuums.
Very durable. We've used it a lot while renovating the house and it has coped well with dust, bits of rubble etc.
Easy to use, including changing the bag and well made like all numatics.
