Can see it’s fairly old, I can remember a workplace many moons ago had an Henry it had paper bags , pre hepaflo bags, i remember the poor thing getting neglected and never bag changed until I got my hands on it and cleaned it up , i remember other staff “no idea why it wasn’t picking up” the bag was burst open and dirt stuck in the hose ..
Numatics Basil vacuum cleaner was an economical/budget version of their popular "Henry" series of vacuums. the bucket on this is NOT original as basil came with the un stabilised one (like on your cream and brown Henry) the wands WERE colour matched to the main colour and the floor tool was the same type as on the Vax 2000. production of basil ended in 2007 when he was replaced by the numatic James who's production started the year earlier (2006) the nematic James featured the same tool kit as basil. other variants of the Numatic Basil included the larger body type (like the Numatic Bertie and more commercial styles of numatic) though by this time they had done away with the customised tool kit and supplied standard grey aluminium wands and the standard carpet and tool nozzle. for a very VERY brief period of time (like 6-8 months) in selected independent Numatic certified vacuum shops, a Basil turbo was available in the larger body style with an electric power nozzle, these however were very unpopular and were soon discontinued and any remaining unsold units in Numatics possession were renamed "Numatic turbo"
The bits on the filter cover are just fixings for the cover, but the bit lower down would have been for a hook, I know older Henry's without cord rewind (HVC200) had a hook.
That's got a slightly newer drum, 95 and early 96 Basils continued to use the older drum without the stabiliser. Also this would've came out the box with blue steel wands.
i've got a red basil without a cord rewind, i just loop it round my thumb and elbow, twist the loop into a figure 8 and pull one of the little loops through the carry handle. did consider putting one of those cartridge extension leads and mounting it upside down on top of it so i could have a diy cord rewind that way, but i've been using it as is for the last 6 years, don't think i'll bother.
My 2000 watt Uoright vax is 13 years old. Had a lot of heavy use but i always keep the filters clean and reolace with rhe genuine lfilters. If you look after fhings hooefully they last

Nothing ever needs a new motor. Learn motor repair. What are you going to do when you have a 1920's Hoover 700. Think you can just go around and find a new 100 year old motor that's in the same ruined condition as the one you have? If you don't know how to repair things - vacuum cleaners aren't the hobby for you. You HAVE to know how to do this stuff.
@@匿名的-1 yeah mate it’s decent just dull happens if it’s been left outdoors or in a damp environment it’s fairly tidy though these motors tend to have their fans explode annoyingly I have one two years newer than this in yellow that’s in near new condition don’t use it though
14:01 “polish your helmet” cracked me up..
Omg 😆 😂😂😂
Happy to see you getting more vintage numatics roger, Love it
Sebo has done an April fools joke, of 3 new vacuum scents limited time only, Fishy Fish, Garlicy Garlic, Eggy Egg 😂😂

@@thepurdychannel8866 Facebook and instagram, they are not actually selling them
@@thepurdychannel8866 That's because it's a joke.
@jettmuss 😁 i fell for it I thought sebo posted the joke on their website
@@thepurdychannel8866 The ultimate april fool's joke - making an april fool's joke about an april fool's joke.
You did a Smashing job Rog, Basil looks better already.

I kept thinking of Basil Brush the entire video and it made me laugh every time.

I thought that about the drum too

Would you ever buy a Vacmaster D8 (VZA0708P-01)? It's a Cleav Henry "clone." I'd be curious you think it compares to an actual Henry.
I have one but I haven’t unboxed it yet.
Hey man, love your channel and I’ve been watching vids since mid 2019! IDE like to see some older vacuum cleaners next on the channel 😊

Wow nice vacuum cleaner 🤯
I agree with you
Nice pick up Roger, that’s weird having no chord rewind .
I'm surprised that you haven't tested modern bosch corded bagged vacuums like the BGL38BA3GB
It’s not surprising to me.
@@ibaisaic do you not like them?
They don’t interest me.
They do?😮 for me
No way that Bonnie delivered that massive hoover
I love this because it is super cool
Basil was pleased to be called 19 years old.
Just about to say you already have a hoover constellation
Imagine Numatic makes Henry shaped easter chocolates.
I wonder if 2-69 means the 69th day of 1992 or 2002.
It's from 2002 now that makes it 22 years old
That’s really a big shame that the new toy Henry and Hetty vacuums by casein don’t have the plug anymore I mean the plug was part of the childhood.
I wish they still make these with the new Henry engines have.
Ibaciac I'm archie Matthews do you remember me ?
Poor Basil 😮😕
I need basil that’s a cool one
It definitely needs a new motor

I saw that thing on ebay. nearly got it too lol.
1 hour team

I have a vacuum you don’t have it’s a Morphy Richards, super vac I’m six years old and I live in the south of England.
The filters perished
Basil had blue pipes
I enjoyed Basil's stripping...
Drum is too new for it to be original, should be the earlier style
ok
Crikey he needs a polish
tbh it isn't bad considering how old it is. New vacuums won't be lasting 29 years at all.

@@Mr_D2_1004N It's always lovely to see old machines in good condition. They are a part of history for crazy nutters like I am.
