One of Numatic's most popular products is a vacuum cleaner called Henry. The 'Henry' name and character was conceived by Designer and Illustrator Mike Walsh, after being shown the shape of the machine through an intermediary of Chris Duncan. It is easily distinguishable by the large smiling face on the front of the canister (there's a 3D clip-on face which has eyes and a mouth, and the vacuum's hose forms its nose). A new parking bracket was added in September 2012. Since the introduction of Henry in 1981, over 7 million have been produced worldwide.
That big smiley face of the famous Henry now comes in a mini version, just right for your work desk! Watch those crumbs disappear in one foul swoop with our Henry the Vacuum. Battery powered so you aren't limited by pesky cords, the desktop vacuum offers a hilarious hint to offending desks across the office. Henry is a true domestic icon known the world over. With his huge smile and freakish nose, he has swept his way over carpet and vinyl for years. Try him on worktops, desktops, keyboards and any other mucky small area. Simply empty him out in the normal way and off you go again!
