I worked in a factory for a while years ago and it had submersion tanks with tones of rusty water that needed draining and cleaning every two weeks. The company had a really old George that did this and had for years. It took an absolute beating. I vowed after witnessing the relentless performance of my his little vacuum I would one day buy one. Mywife has so far vetoed this and bought various Dysons or whatever. They have usually looked cool and do certain things very well at least for a while but become unreliable or have other disappointing attributes. I’m going to buy myself a George soon for cleaning the car and sofas and fulfil this modest ambition. I’m certain it will out live a dozen shiny digital display flashing lights modern crap vacuums the Mrs brings home.

Dude, I accidentally found your channel and completely love it. You helped me so much in making decisions what to buy and why. Much appreciated 🙏

Hi Roger another brilliant demonstration my 3yr loves George and is a budding hoover enthusiast he already has 5 vacuums thanks for all your efforts

Revisited your channel to review a purchase I made sometime ago but never bothered to use the George as a wet cleaner till now. The advise given stood the test of time and I'm pleased to say the purchase I made is now returning great results.

Great demonstration Roger.

Thats why a NUMATIC is a professional device! Reliable and repairable for many years

I own a George and agree with you about it not being great at large areas of carpet with the large carpet head provided. Mine was bought for cars. I really wished It has better performance on room size carpet but it is superb on seats in the car with the valet/upholstery attachment as your video explains very well. House carpets are very hard work but I get great results as I use the upholstery tool on my home stairs and carpets. I spray, work it in with a brush nozzle by hand and not fitted to the machine then spray again and extract with the smaller upholstery tool. This way I work m2 area at a time it gets really cleaned well and dried as best as possible. After the carpet is fully dry just a normal “Henry” vac over has any loose lint picked up and the pile in the carpet gets pulled up neat. If I was cleaning room carpets more often I would go for the Karcher Puzzi range of cleaners £200 more than George. The grey Puzzi ones are top notch the lance has a handle mid way down it like a lawn trimmer allows you to push down on the pull back suction stroke over the carpet. The Puzzi carpet tool has a wide head better suction with easy visible tanks for cleaning solution and collected dirty water. Plus I would still always use a scrubbing brush on a long handle to work out trapped hairs and loose fibres from the carpet. Rotary brush cleaners of any brand need too much picking cutting out of hair to keep working time to a minimum. Sorry this is so long but thanks for reading. Cheers

You are the first channel I subscribe to thanks for the great videos

Used my george an hour ago.Finnally got it working.Bloody excellent machine

Thank you for this extremely helpful for first time users!

George is the best machine I have used for cleaning my stairs and the car. I agree with you about it being the best for car valeting, stairs and upholstery

Hi Roger Many thanks for this video. I've been on the fence about getting a george. but really only for cleaning the cars. So by the looks of it george is perfect for my needs 👍🏼

Nice multy vacuum cleaner, I like it and its design also. It reminds me of the old ones!!!!! :)

Great review. Thanks!

Solid video thank you

I like George, it is worth buying!

We use commercial grade van mounted carpet and upholstery cleaning units that run off the engine, including using the coolant to heat up the water to boiling temperatures. Always make sure to avoid over wetting and under drying when cleaning carpets and furniture, and be careful with cleaning natural fabrics and fibres as cellulosic browning may occur.

I still prefer George for carpet washing even if it is harder work i still prefer George. Also for upholestory but i actually Have a Numatic CT370 so its just like George but it has Numatic written on it.

This machine is a Best Buy for the home , I highly recommend it

nice 80s game show music in the beginning Roger!

I'm at work thanks for the inservice.

Thank you 😊

Thank you - I nearly bought a George for carpet cleaning since my Dr Rug has broken!

Pre spray and work it in with a drill(upholstery drill bit)then extract

Good video

8:38 “it’s not going to spray everywhere” Proceeds to spray everywhere

Looks like a rotten beef broth. Amazing how dirty we r and don’t even know it.great video 👍

thats for your shoutout /answering questions video

Nice detailed video as always. I love my George, as you say not the easiest to use for carpets but there is no better all round cleaning machine IMO, the versatility is brilliant and what is really nice is that you get all the accessories included, no expensive extras or fancy shampoo needed. It's also quite easy to maintain, my solution tube developed a leak and it was quite straightforward to replace with a new piece of hose. I am missing the float ball in my machine, Numatic don't seem to want to reply to my emails about a replacement though, shame their customer service isn't as good as their products.

Will done

thank you

Seriously thinking about trying one of these always had a bissell or vax upright cleaner but find they don’t suck up enough of the water and then the carpet smells damp

I love the vacuum cleaner sound. Please don't use a background music while vacuuming. Love your videos though.

there is one in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire for 20£

Ibaisaic hope you're well good sir. I have a question and I think it's the $64,000 one. Does one buy a George or pay for a professional to service carpets and upholstery once a year or hire a cleaning machine? Is it worth it to have George to maintain after a professional clean? Truth be told, George can't be expected to clean as thoroughly as a hire machine or a professional. But is going to clean well enough to justify the initial purchase all things considered? Also, professional upholstery cleaners tend to decry diy vacs such as George. They reason that they leave too much water and soap in the carpet. This attracts dirt and ruins the carpet faster. Obviously a truck mounted machine will extract all the soap and heat water to a higher temperature and therefore clean it better. Hope to hear your opinion on the matter. Cheers

I have just got this can you use the pole attachment any way to clean the carpet , with the attachments ? Or is it only handheld? 😖I can’t wait have remaining carpets replaced with hard floors.😶

You forgot to Mention, George is made in the UK! Chard in good old Somerset where Numatic International is. ditto for Henry and Hetty as well.

if your useing a george as carpet cleaner doing a large area use drill and brush

love that video how much for it

a good video.thank you.i like this machine.bissell detergents work very well. can I please ask a question for your shout out when you do it. how long does it take on average to compose your video's from start to finish ?.

the karcher commercial puzzi 100 and 200 are the best mashines in carpet and upholstery cleaning!! thats my opinion were ever will that ibaisiac test this kind of mashine give me a thumbs up that he can see😃😉

Does the George come with a solution bucket or is it an extra ?

while cleaning the sofa what is that awesome piece of rock music called?

My George Hoover seems to have lost its suction power when extracting in wet mode. Absolutely fine when back in dry mode. Can anyone help advise me what I can do to fix this? Thank you so much in advance x

Hello Roger do you know the name of the music on this video when you first start cleaning the sofa as my shazam app is unable to identify it I really fine that catchy kind regards

How does the cord wrap?

I know this sounds stupid, but what would happen if you use the airobrush with George? Would it leave a lot of solution behind or no?

You mention about dry cleaning before doing the shampoo clean on upholstery.. But what about if it's mouldy car seats , would you really want to do dry clean first?

I'm starting up a car detailing service & have all equipment apart from a vacuum. I want a wet dry vacuum so was thinking to buy a George vacuum & I'd love to know whether I will be fine with using only a George.. ? any help or advice would be massively appreciated

any one know anything about Klarstein vacuum cleaners ?

Hi will it deep clean the sofas? My friend has her sofa that is really dirty due to the old Tennants. So wondering is this vacuum the best one to recommend??

I wish all numatic carpet washers come with the clear hose like they did back in 2005

Where did you buy it?

Hello sir, I am seriously thinking about purchasing a GEORGE vacuum here in the USA (probably from Amazon) for my vehicle detailing (aka VALETING in the UK :) ) . I want to use the unit as both a great vacuum cleaner with superior suction capability compared to shop vac's (I've tried multiple ones, purchased 3 different ones over the years that had crappy suction, and they just didn't do a very good job getting the interior dirt off the carpets and upholstery in the vehicles. I've heard (and seen on KZfaq) good things about GEORGE. I also need an extractor and I thought this particular vacuum would be the perfect vacuum to use as a "dual purpose" machine. My question essentially is: "What is your opinion of this machine to be used as a "dual purpose" unit for vehicle valeting? Is it difficult to switch between using as an extractor and then back to vacuum mode? I only plan on using the extractor feature occasionally, every few months probably. I plan on using the VACUUM portion of the unit quite frequently to vacuum out my vehicles. THIRD: "Do you recommend anything else other than GEORGE for valeting? I want the strongest suction unit I can get my hands on for vacuuming vehicles, which comes with a good assortment of attachments such as the round brush, crevice tool, and others. Even if I had to purchase a separate extractor, i'd be fine with that. The good VACUUM is my priority. Thank you so much for your in depth (and comical sometimes) reviews! I just watched your Henry head to head competition video on all the models and I was actually looking at the Henry Xtra before I saw your KZfaq channel. Searching Henry brought me to your channel. Thanks again sir for any information you can provide. Cheers mate. Thank you from Maryland, USA!

i have a big shop vac vacuum wet and dry i once use my portable steam cleaner whit hose to steam clean the couch them proceded to vacuuming the water whit the shop vac did a good job but i had to use 2 machine seperatly not bad but woww george seems to work well i would vacuum the remaining liquid until dry whit the vacuum only . Some people clean the cushion then let air dry id clean and apply solution whit george and vacuum at the same time then id do a few dry passes just me tho how ling did it take ti dry dont take this the wrong way you did a fantastic job just tought of using george whit out applying shampoo and vacuum the couch till dry to the touch speeds up drying time my 2 cents i could be wrong maybe the suction is good enough u would not have to do that

So what is better? George, or Karcher puzzi or any Bissel or Rug Doctor? For car detailing business

Hello ibaisaic I have the same Numatic George and am trying to clean an 8 year old carpet that has never been washed and finding using as you suggest gives very limited results with the dirt still there so what would you suggest I do...i am also using the vax ultra+ as the solution.

I have used my Heorge twice now and u get liquid/foam coming out the exhaust. Is this because it is full. How do you know the ball valve has been activated? Thanks

Hi, How much water to chem 4 do you use? Do you know the ratio? Helpful Video. :-)

Hello would you recommend A Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Or A Miele (dont know which model) We have A Miele for 20 years And it works well but I realized it wont clean everything up I just want a Vacuum that is stressless

Is George any good at cleaning car seats & carpets and dose it come with the and dose it come with the cleaning tool for car detailing as like to detail the car.

George or karcher 5100?

roger please get a morphy richards performair i have one its fab you can get them on gumtree

Why do i need to hoover before hand?

I didn’t realise that you have to have the vacuum suction button switched on as well as the cleaning spray button. Is this correct?

Hiya hope whoever picks up this message is having a great day. I wonder if I could please have just a moment of ur time? Please could u advice me, whats the difference (apart from the price.) between the George upolcleaner & the Henry wash? Would love a reply asap. I'm looking 2 buy a cleaner asap & I trust he henry brand. Thank u in advance 4 ur time. Sam x

I have just bought the Henry Wash, does it work the same way?

With choosing a wash & dryer

Hi I’m just after some advice on Numatic choice. I’ve had a Henry for 10 years and I stupidly sucked up water cleaning my car mats and now it won’t work at all. I gather I’ve killed it. As cleaning cars is a big hobbie of mine I’m contemplating buying George, however my partner thinks it will be too big & heavy to use around the house , all our down stairs is wood floor whilst up stairs is carpet. What would you advise please. Thanks.

The label on the sofa I'm wanting to clean says to wipe with a damp cloth, but not to wash. Does using George count as 'washing' do you think?

surely it would be easier and better on the seat cushions to just remove the covers and put them through the washing machine?

What's the difference between this one and Henry wash which is around £200 in argos.

0:00 - Whats the music name?

What does George drink on a daily basis? Dirtbena

Can be it use for commercial purpose ?example :sofa cleaning business

You get the best results if you pre-spray and you rub it a bit on a rug only for upholstery*

Can you press both switches together?

How much itcost natic

We have an extractor in the U.S. that comes with a nozzle just like the one on the George, but it’s called Mighty H.P. 60 Hot Water Extractor.

How to you make such good videos.

Did you wear green socks that day on purpose?

Is it louder than the traditional Numatic Henry?

Hi can you use your George to clean your mattress?

Hi would the vax 6131 be good for cleaning a car

How does it compare to the vax 3 in 1?

I was hoping to see how you add the solution..

Ive got the Henry wash which is the same

I've looked at Charles an now George I have a pets & a child with disability who has accidents, Can you help? Please need expertise advice an your the man for it.... Nice1

How much water for 40ml solution??

ibaisaic, What happened to your original George?

can you read out all these long comments on your next shout out Mr ibasiac. ? . lol glyn.

Well made and informative video but I think we could do without the loud music.

The george is lacking in power being only 1060w my cheap vax-020 has more power at 1300w i'm disappointed in numatic as they do make quality machines but this one isn't worth the £240 price tag.

Does 379 euro sound right for George?

The dirty water is suspiciously similar to the colour of the sofa! Maybe you’re removing the dye!
