Wow, who invented these? I've got one fitted to my Henry Vacuum Cleaner - a highly recommended product - Numatic HVR200 Henry Vacuum Cleaner Red 1200W - and it is one of many I have used. No rips, overflows, burst bags or general delinquency yet. They just do the job they're designed for, and they do it well. They're so brilliant I'm thinking of marrying one.

At the time of writing this (19-1-08) Amazon is describing this item as including the stainless steel toolkit.
It doesn't - it has the grey-painted aluminium tubeset, and a reduced number of accessories in the toolkit.
The stainless steel toolkit is 'Kit: A1'
This comes with 'Kit: NPH1' (aluminium)
You can see the difference in tools on http://numatic.co.uk/products4.asp?id=29 - download the 'cleancare accessories catalogue' pdf near the bottom of the page.
The top picture in the pdf ('JV1' toolkit) is actually what you get (same as 'NPH1'). The next pic down is the A1 stainless kit.
Numatic says on that page that the standard toolkit is 'A1' (stainless), and shows ... Read More:

25-ish years ago, I used to love toy replicas of my mum's real domestic appliances made by Casdon. And 25 years on there is no doubt about it: kids ADORE this toy replica of the commercial/domestic Numatic 'Henry'. Even kids who are petrified of real vaccuums! From the moment I bought this, this has been one of the most popular toys with both my kids and their friends. The children wander round, happily vaccuuming the floor (with or without batteries), pulling or carrying 'Henry' along with them.
Unfortunately, the popularity of the toy is diminished by the poor build quality and some really daft design features. The 'body' and 'hat' of this toy Henry, though not what I'd call particularly solid, seem to be reasonably robust. However ... Read More:

I bought this iron about six months ago and it has worked perfectly since day one. The range of steam settings offers good incremental positions and the no steam setting can be selected with one small movement of the slide.
The shape of the face plate seems to suit my shirt size(16)and I think my shirts have never looked better. I iron my shirts box flat when travelling for business or when I have limited space and a work colleague has now asked me three times if my shirt was new!
The water reservoir is a bit small and does need refilling fairly frequently otherwise I would have given this 5 stars.

Nice looking kettle with a good lid. It does take a while to switch off when boiling so don't position it under a unit as the steam will cause damage. I find it heavy when it's filled to MAX. but I'm only 5'1".

I was looking for a simple, no frills kettle to replace our very old one. Having read some of the previous reviews, I decided that this one was way better than others - quick, "nicely balanced", "easy to fill".
Although I am still happy with it - it boils water, after all - I must say that I do not agree with some of the reviewers. My wrists might be wrong shape, but I do not find the kettle nicely balanced at all - it's awkward and heavy. It is not particularly easy to fill through the spout and the lid is stiff on my kettle. It is noisy and not very quick. Otherwise a nice, neat-looking kettle. We have had it for over a year and it's still working.

I always read reviews prior to buying so thought it about time I wrote one of my own. I have to admit that i have not been a great beleiver in buying the more expensive things in life thinking that lesser money doesn't always mean lesser quality. In this instance I am glad I paid the extra money for a quality item, granted I bought the 50l touch whilst on offer for £45 but having compared the bin to other makes, I was going to buy one from Argos for £24.95, but on viewing the " Chrome effect", I opted for the excellent Brabantia.
I feel I must also give a big thumbs up to Amazon, the first bin arrived with a big dent, I rang customer services who sent me a shiny new one within 24 hrs and then gave me 30 days to have the damaged one ... Read More:

My only regret is not buying this sooner. My wife has a Phillips sensonic which was twice the price and we were reasonably happy with however although this Braun does not come with all the extra bits (which I did not want) and does not play as many beeps as the Phillips it does however ....
+ Clean better
+ Comes with spare tooth brush head
+ Have a more stable base so it doesnt topple on thin bathroom shelves
+ and finally a 2 year guarentee extendable to 3 years if you
register with Braun.
A lovely, compact Microwave. Still plenty of room inside. Beep doesn't bother me at all and I don't find it noisy. Easy to use and clear display.
