The Numatic Hetty HET160 (902289) is Henry's pink sister: the same bagged cylinder, the same motor and the same tool kit, in a different colour. It suits homes with a mix of floors where you want a sturdy, simple vacuum that is easy to empty. It shares its specification with the Henry HVR160.

Cleaning

Hetty's 620 W motor pulls dirt through a FloMax conical hose into a 6 L HepaFlo bag, and a TriTex filter cleans the air on its way out. It works on all floor types, from carpet and hard floor to stairs and the car. The combination floor tool covers carpet and hard floor, and Numatic quotes a cleaning range of 25.7 m when the 10 m cable, hose and tubes are added together. Numatic rates its sound pressure at no more than 70 dB(A).

Everyday use

When the bag is full, lift it out and throw it away with the dust sealed inside, which keeps clearing up after DIY jobs tidy. In the box:

• Hetty with TriTex filter and NVM-1CH dust bag
• FloMax conical hose, stainless steel bend tube and extension tube
• Combination floor tool
• Crevice tool and soft dusting brush
• Upholstery nozzle with slide-on brush and a double taper hose adaptor

The tools store on the machine, so they are there when you need them.

Size and installation

Hetty measures 32 × 34 × 34.5 cm and weighs 7.5 kg with its kit. There is nothing to install: plug it into a standard socket and pull it along behind you, and the cable rewinds when you finish. Its round, compact shape fits easily in a cupboard or under the stairs.
