In recent years Numatic has started to introduce Henry counterparts for much of the Henry range. Other than Charles Hoover who has many similarities to George, the closest match to George is Henry Wash. However, there is a significant difference between George and Henry Wash. Whilst George is both a wet and dry vacuum, Henry Wash is a dedicated wet vacuum only. There’s a lot of room inside the vacuum for dry and wet spills alike Numatic Charles Wet/Dry Vacuum – Outstanding suction power means it pulls in heavier debris with ease Curtis was a member of the Kaw Nation who served as Herbert Hoover’s vice president from 1929 to 1933, and he has a complicated historical legacy. Curtis supported women’s voting rights, child labor laws and the 1924 Indian Citizenship Act. At the same time, he promoted assimilationist policies that harmed many Native Americans. One of his most significant impacts on U.S. policy is the Curtis Act of 1898, which weakened Native governments and helped break up Indigenous reservations. The upholstery nozzle is a powerful accessory that will go to town on the interior of a car as well as furniture. As mentioned earlier, this tool would be perfect for car valeting. There is also the hard floor head which is the tool to use on hard surfaces.

You get all of the accessories you need for wet and dry spills Numatic Charles Wet/Dry Vacuum – It’s a versatile wet and dry vacuum with a great range of tools Really good tools but I had measured the diameter of my vacuum cleaner pipe incorrectly and they wouldn’t fit! I bought an adapter and now they fit! The turbo tool is particularly good for pet hair.In terms of appearance, Numatic George is similar to the rest of the Henry family with his smiling face and bright eyes. He is green in colour and therefore is most similar to Harry the Hoover from the Henry range. There is a reason everyone calls vacuum cleaners hoovers - Hoover vacuums were the dominant force when vacuums were becoming popular and they have stayed popular ever since. Nowadays you can choose from handheld, upright and cylinder types of vacuums, meaning that they have kept up with the times. So, whether you prefer bagged, or bagless, upright or handheld. Our large range means we have the right vacuum cleaners for your home. George is comfortably the most powerful vacuum cleaner from Numatic’s Henry Hoover range, and with great power comes great suction. George is more powerful than the rest of the Henry family because he needs the extra power when being used in wet cleaning mode, to allow him to clean effectively. For wet vacuuming there is the fishtail extraction nozzle which is designed to be used on carpet. This tool is great for shampooing and scrubbing dirt out of carpets and does a great job at removing tough stains. I bought this for the turbo and stair brush. Unbelievable quality soft bristle on stair brush. The turbo brush has made my Henry like an upright for cleaning. Brilliant, small (6'' roughly). So easy to unscrew the collar on the tool and pop the top open to clean. It's fluffed up my stair carpet like new. ?? I only wish I bought it years ago. X

His grandmother basically just says, ‘You’re bound for more important things,’” says Kent Blansett, a professor of Indigenous studies and history at the University of Kansas who is a Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Shawnee and Potawatomi descendant from the Blanket, Panther and Smith families. Blansett notes that Curtis’ grandmother wasn’t telling Curtis to turn away from his people, but to help his people by taking another path. While the election of Kamala Harris to vice president was historic, she isn’t the first person of color to hold the position. The first was actually Charles Curtis, who took office nearly a century ago. Edge cleaning – The suction abilities are strong but the floor-head design meant there was a little powder left close to the door. George’s hose is slightly longer than the majority of other Numatic vacuums, which means he should be able to reach the top of an average flight of stairs. As he isn’t the lightest machine to move around, being able to leave George at the bottom of the stairs whilst you clean is a helpful bonus.If you’re looking for a powerful vacuum cleaner that can be relied upon to clean both wet and dry surfaces, you’d be hard pressed to find a better solution than George the Hoover. George is a great all-in-one vacuum that is more than adequate at cleaning both dry and wet surfaces. Due to his extra-long hose and useful adapters, George is great for cleaning all types of surfaces, including carpets, hard floors, upholstery, stairs and the car. He also is the only vacuum in the Numatic range that has a shampoo facility, so if you want a carpet cleaner as well as a hard floor wet vacuum cleaner, George is a great option. As well as the standard Numatic attachments which come with each of their machines – such as the crevice tool and dusting brush – George comes with a range of additional accessories which help him perform his best, no matter the job. I was recommended a turbine floor brush for my Henry vacuum cleaner by my professional carpet cleaner guy. It was in the House that Curtis introduced “An Act for the Protection of the People of Indian Territory,” commonly known as the Curtis Act of 1898. This act built on the Dawes Act of 1887, which had introduced the policy of “allotment.” Under this policy, the U.S. government forcibly broke up Native American reservations—where land and resources were communally shared—into privately-held properties. Native people who couldn’t afford to maintain their “allotments” lost them, allowing white Americans to buy the land and move into what was once a reservation. George has a huge capacity and it’s easy to switch between dry and wet modes. Due to his capacity, it has to be said that George is fairly heavy, but thanks to his wheels he takes some of the weight when you’re moving him around. The larger than normal hose means you move him less than you would a traditional vacuum cleaner.

George is great on carpets too. Just like with hard floors, you just fill the clean water tank with fresh water and detergent, and allow George to do this thing. With a large capacity and long cable, you’re able to clean large rooms without unplugging. But what really helps George stand out on carpets is his shampoo facility. George is able to revive old and dull carpets and give them a real facelift. You don’t have to worry about George soaking your carpets either, he’s been designed to distribute his clean evenly across carpets, which prevents them from becoming too wet. You can also use shampoo on hard surfaces thanks to the hard floor head, which has two sides that work together to produce a fantastic clean. Henry Wash has all the wet features that George Hoover has, including a wet filter, wet tools in the form of a carpet, upholstery and hard floor extraction tools, and a shampoo facility that is controlled by a trigger. Around 1873, when Louis and Julie were moving with the Kaw Nation to the Indian Territory in the current state of Oklahoma, Curtis planned to go with them. But his grandmother dissuaded him from joining them. When using George in wet mode, there’s a clean water tank – which has a huge 15 litre capacity – and a mesh filter. Both the tank and filter are removable, meaning removing dirty water after a stint of wet cleaning isn’t a difficult job. The water tank is easy to fill up too, thanks to a handle that means you can carry it to your sink with ease and fill it with clean water.Much like the loved Numatic Henry, the Numatic Charles has a friendly face on the front, but this big brother can clear liquid spillages, too. It’s equally robust as the Herny, equipped with a long hose, huge 10m power cable for plenty of reach, a powerful 1060W motor, and a good range of cleaning accessories for different flooring and hard-to-reach areas. Charles is a sweet, smiling vacuum that never fails to get a return smile from visitors. It’s a little larger than the familiar Henry vacuum cleaner, with Charles adding wet cleaning abilities and a larger capacity bin. The bags themselves that come with George vacuum are the Numatic HepaFlo bags. You should get four bags with George and they are large and built to last, so you shouldn’t need to replace them very often. As mentioned above, George has a large 9 litre dust bag capacity when cleaning in dry mode, and it takes a lot of vacuuming to fill bags of that size. Included in the box is a good selection of accessories including a crevice tool, soft dusting brush, upholstery nozzle and slide-on Brush. We especially liked the dusting brush for its long soft bristles, which worked well on our office chairs and keyboards. All of the tools simply push on to the decent-length, 2.4m flexible hose. This is a tough piece of tubing amply capable of being the tow-rope for Charles as you move around the room. The Curtis Act was something that caused irrevocable damage,” Blansett says. “Even years later, [Curtis] would do a radio show with the famous Cherokee Will Rogers in the 1930s, and Will got booed for having Curtis on. Because in Oklahoma, Cherokees especially couldn’t stand what the Curtis Act did [to the Cherokee nation].”

After they had been chosen by the Republican Party for renomination during the Republican National Convention in Chicago, President Hoover and Vice President Charles Curtis posed at the White House, June 17, 1932. There is an all-purpose nozzle which comes with a removable brush, designed to make things easier when cleaning furniture and stairs. There is also a hose adapter for smaller and more confined surfaces.
