Hello. Please take a look at this list: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I'm very impressed with these machines. Very good.
Thanks for the helpful video showing hard floor cleaning technique. Do you know if it's possible to use other common floor washing chemicals such as diluted flash multi-surface cleaner with George for these tasks? I'd like to try this approach but unsure about using other chemicals in case of hoover damage...
Hi Joshua, glad it helped you, yes you can use any other product, just read the dosage to water mix and use a bit less than the detergent says, you can always add a bit more
Nice hooverlux enjoy making videos buddy
Jevan and dillan Chapman Thank you my friend. I will 😘😘😘
@@HooverLux no problems with anything try and get Henry compact
To be honest I have nearly all the variants in tubs and then I just swap the bodies around.
Hi mate, would you recommend this for large areas of hard flooring/ Amtico over the traditional hoover/mop combo? Do you think it would save time in the long run? Thanks
Not really no, makes the floors too wet and clean up is a pain, even compared to a Bissell Crosswave or a Tineco.
The issue I have with Numatics for wet pick-up is the fact that it uses a non by-pass fan - ie, the air from the fan vents through the motor. This means any water or spray goes through the motor windings, brushes, and bearings. The old Vax multi-function canisters used a by-pass fan so it never gets to the motor.
That is so true, but I try not to overfoam or let it fill so much, but I do know what you mean.
I’m aware that this comment is two years old, however all numatic vacuums intended for wet use; George, Charles etc all use bypass motors...
When I first used my George, I used too much shampoo and it started to suck foam and water through to the air vents, lucking I’ve not had that problem since 🤗
@@jacobbates3652 Ah, I didn't know that - the only vids I'd seen on Numatic cleaner motors were on Henrys etc - good to know :)
I'm debating between this George and a Bissell Crosswave to replace the wet mop system; I have a lot of tile flooring and less carpeting. Would you suggest the Crosswave over the George? Is the Crosswave able to clean the grout at all? I've got two young kids, so I'm looking for something to use regularly... Thanks for the informative videos; they're great! ........... (Also considering Hoover Floormate Deluxe, Hizero, and Tineco, if you have experience with those.)
Forget the floormate unless all your floors are groutless and completely smooth. Hizero is way too expensive for what it is. George is fab because he is amazing at upholstery, good on hard floors, hard to use for carpets, not very effective on carpets to be fair as it’s straight wet/suction cleaning, plus you’ll have a fab vacuum too, so for multi use, George is best, for just hard floors and rugs, Crosswave is the one. You can’t do rugs with the floormate and neither the Hizero. Forget the Tineco, it’s rubbish. 🤣🤣🤣
@@HooverLux
Awesome; thanks for the reply! I bought the Crosswave yesterday and just used my Crosswave for the first time. It's working great! It's so rewarding to see the dirty water, but I'm a little weird like that, lol.
But I do wish there were a way to modify/hack the dirty water tank to be larger and secure some bristle brushes to the sides for better edge cleaning; any thoughts (I love making things better or custom)!
Sarah Longenecker I love seeing the dirty water and what it’s picked up too 🤣. I can’t think of anyway to increase the water bottle size, the edge cleaning isn’t amazing, but much better front on than sides.
Wow ur floors looked clean yet it lifted that dirt. Also done a fab job on ur rug. I have a cat & dog so i hope its as affective as it was for u if i buy one? Btw forgot to say ur cat was adorable. X
Hi Lisa, hope you had a good day? The George is very good, but by eck it’s hard work 😓. We have 3 cats and 3 dogs that often make appearances, cats have to cajoled more than the dogs though 🤣
Also, what attachment did you use for the dry vacuum. Might need to add that to my brush head collection. Thank you in advance :)
R Begum hi, it was the standard Numatic floortool with the metal baseplate.
HooverLux Thanks for the super quick reply. Oh I thought it sounded like it had a spin brush and looks maroon in vids.
I have a Henry Wash, but also converted it to dry vac
Ah yeah, I think they can all be wet and used for dry.
Quick question, can I dry vacuum dust in wet mode with a bit of water? I can only presume water is a better filter.. reason I ask is because after using wet mode it takes some time to dry back up for smaller jobs so if it isn’t detrimental to the George I would just vacuum up what I need to with the wet inside components.
R Begum Unfortunately no, the airflow into the machine does not go directly through the water, some would only rest on the surface and the rest would only have the filter of the mesh bag cloth over the ball float, unfortunately this doesn’t work like a Rainbow vacuum. 😢
HooverLux makes complete sense! Thanks so much, appreciate your responsiveness. My 6 year old nephew is obsessed with your videos btw :’)
R Begum Awwwwwwww, bless him. I try to put the dogs and cats in as much as possible as I think people like them more than the vacs 😂😂😂, if you’d like a shoutout for him, let me know and I will give him a mention with one or all of the dogs. Bless you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You could add an internal down facing pipe that sides just above the bottom of the tub and then add a 4-6 inches of water to cover the bottom of the pipe. That way the dust/air would be forced to travel through the water.
Depositing any debris in the water. It would be quite simple to make as I’ve done this before with great results. Used for sanding paint and varnish. Make sure you empty the dirty water/slurry responsibly.
If you wanted to buy a pre made hoover like this you would want the Rainbow vacuum
I am still so confused which hoover shall I get? We have a 1bed flat, just about 55sqm. Livingroom and bedroom are carpeted. I am using Hetty at the moment and wanted to swap for George that can shampoo the carpets as well. Thanks to our daughter the carpets got really stained, mostly spilled drinks... it looks gross and I intend to clean the carpets at least quarterly rather than hiring someone I thought would be nice to do it myself on regular basis. I love my Hetty hoover. Would George be still as good as Hetty re normal dry hoovering and be good enough to clean properly the two carpeted rooms + one sofa? I don't want to buy stg. bigger and more expensive and be disappointed after I give it a first try. I checked the Bissell Crosswave but I don't have good experience with this type of cordless hoover. Low capacity and the battery can let you down anytime. And I really need something that does both, dry cleaning and carpet shampooing. There is no space for two machines in my under stairs cupboard. What is your opinion, please?
Hey hey 👋, firstly thanks for watching, I really appreciate you comment. Ok, now lol, George is amazing as a dry vac, amazing at upholstery cleaning, house, car etc, but! And this is a big but, he is a hard slog work job at carpet cleaning. No agitation so you’d have to scrub the stain my hand first, the water extraction with the wider carpet nozzle is not as good and leaves the carpets very damp and is just sooooo much hard work. As you have limited space for storing a separate carpet washer like my vax, I could recommend hiring a Rug Doctor every now and then. Or yes a George, but you’ll have a workout with carpet washing 🤣
Thank you. I think I will hire Rug Doctor as you suggested. Sounds like the best option so far : ).
Zdenka Rahova Zdenka Rahova glad i could help, if storage space was t an issue I’d recommend a small carpet washer with the upholstery hose attached, you can pick them up in Argos for about 150 quid.
@@HooverLux it's to be expected to use a bit of elbow grease and energy to clean and noone ever said cleaning should be easy also it could also be user faults using different parts is a no no so use all original components
I love using my george I had my foam up once when I was cleaning a house in Bath luckly I brought two cleaners with me
I really like the quality and everything about Numatic vacuums but when it comes to washing my floors.......I grab my Bissell Cross-wave. Thanks for another great video mate. What's your thoughts ? Have you heard about the Bissell SpinWave ?
I have seen the spin wave and it does look like a good machine. Numatic still have good quality machines, I do have to say not as good as the ones in the past, but unfortunately that’s the way of the world. The Crosswave is just so convenient to use and is my go to floor washer. Small, convenient and just takes up little space. George is huge 😂😂😂😂😂
Very true. They are my rugged to to vacs. Guess that why company’s and tradies love em.
That’s so cool
Did you change the technique of using him for carpets
Yes, just pull back to apply and suck up.
So are you going to keep George for carpet cleaning
I only use him for upholstery as it’s simply amazing for that job
Where can bbn I get the turbo brush?
I bought mine in eBay.
easy setup
Yeah, it’s really straightforward, if I can do it, anyone can 🤣
Which carpet shampoo you use?
Hi, sorry for the delay, I use pro Kleen cherry scent, I bought a big 3 litre bottle of it.
i would lovee to buy a hard floor turbo brush! looked them up but cant find one :(. could you give me the link please?
Ah yes, just a sec,

@@HooverLux it's George and your using Vax parts on it no wonder you have problems wow what a tit Hoover's ain't all universal and could even restrict the power it provides
J GILLY They all work on exactly the same principal, in fact many manufacturers buy their attachments from the same manufacturers. It will make zero difference.
Hoover lux awesome vaccum george is awesome
Thank you, he is really good. Very handy to have. They need to sell them in the states for a good price with electric powerheads.
HooverLux. Nice they expensive i bet
They are not too bad over here, you can get them for the 200 quid mark, more or less, depends on offers etc.
They're reasonably priced here in the states considering that they're a quality machine.
Some people have said they are expensive? Would like to see the prices and the comparison to the UK?
I cant beleive i just used an hour of my life watching somebody clean a floor lol i need to get out more. 🤣🤦♀️ Thanks for the demo though. I wouldnt bother with buying that additional brush. The one u done the wet floor demo with seemed to do the trick. I was unsure between the george & the blue one. Whats the difference between the 2?
Hi Lisa, that happens all the time, please don’t snatch any of my washing machine videos! They are addictive 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I spend lost time watching the industrial carpet washing videos, especially when the carpets are filthy and they come up like new! What we like!!! 🤣🤣. There’s not really much difference between the two, same thing different colours basically.
@@HooverLux the blue ones are wet only so look it up first
@@jgilly3362 are the green ones both wet and dry? So if I needed one for a car I should get the green one ?
Henry Blue wash.Is just that ,washes only and will handle spills.George on the other hand can also be used to dry vacuum as well as washing and dealing with spill etc.. Whilst watching another on TH-cam.Henry fanatic.He said there is no reason why you couldn’t buy the attachments separately.filter and bags and use the blue for dry vacuuming also.But would work out cheaper to just buy George in the first place.Unless you happen to have an old Henry then you could use the parts from that In the blue one.
Do you turn on both switches at the same time?
No, I usually turn the vac on first and then the pump.
Sorry, I meant are they both running at the same time 😁 thanks for the help
When using it yes 🤗
@@HooverLux great ty
What's the link for the turbo brush
Oh gosh, there are many many sellers of these on eBay, you won’t have a problem finding it in the search
@@HooverLux I can't seem to find it
Is George better for hard floors than he is for carpets
Not really, but what he does excel in is upholstery, the absolute best in my opinion.
I don’t think wetting a laminate floor this much is a good idea it will eventually start to warp and ruin the floor.Best to stick with tile or linoleum etc.
This laminate is specifically for kitchens and bathrooms, over the 12 years it’s been down and mopped so many ways, had copious amounts of liquids in large quantities spilt on it, it’s still fine, so just to make you aware that laminate flooring comes is many forms my lovely, next time google before you comment 😘
That’s Ok then.My laminate wasn’t very expensive.And obviously not water resistant in anyway.As even the slightest bit of something wet can cause it to peel/and it has warped over the years.Probably cause I used to use a mop not soaking the floor at all .Just damp not wet wet.And puppy accidents won’t have helped.
I am aware laminate has improved since Mine was bought and laid.They’re much more resilient nowadays.I forget sometime just how long mine has been down .When I consider how old it is and what it’s endured.All these years.I am surprised it doesn’t look a lot worse.
Hoping to redo soon.
I also would like a new hoover and the Henry is appealing to me most.But can’t make up my mind on which one to go for.
I saw that George removed that stain off the carpet
He’s really good
OH! he's a tinkerer, can't leave things alone till they get busted
What are you on about? 🙄
