George has been around for decades and is a fantastic wet and dry vacuum. He is the most expensive of the wet vacuums in this article but comes with many tools. 

  • Dry Use - He comes with all of the dry tools and filter that you would get with a standard dry Henry. 
  • Wet Use - He also comes with a wet filter which has a float inside to cut off the suction when your dirty water tank gets too full.
  • Wet Tools - Comes with a Carpet, Upholstery and Hard floor extraction tool for wet use. 
  • Shampoo Feed - the shampoo can be pumped from the internal tank to the carpet or upholstery tools that are controlled by a trigger.

Numatic Henry Wash

henry wash wet vacuum differences

The Henry Wash vacuum is the newest release in Numatics wet vacuum range. This is a true wet vacuum with all of the wet features and tools that george has.. but comes with nothing to use him as a dry vacuum.  This means he is a less money than George too. 

  • Dry Use - No. Henry wash only comes with the filter and tools to use as a wet vac.

Just like George, the Henry Wash has the features below

  • Wet Use - He also comes with a wet filter which has a float inside to cut off the suction when your dirty water tank gets too full.
  • Wet Tools - Comes with a Carpet, Upholstery and Hard floor extraction tool for wet use. 
  • Shampoo Feed - the shampoo can be pumped from the internal tank to the carpet or upholstery tools that are controlled by a trigger.

Numatic Charles 

numatic charles wet vacuum cleaner features

Charles has also been around for years and is by far the lowest cost wet vacuum in this range. He isn't designed as a carpet shampoo machine. He has no shampoo tank or pump so is purely for extraction of liquids. He can be used as a wet vacuum to dry hard floors, suck up spills and unlock sinks. 

  • Dry Use - He comes with all of the dry tools and filter that you would get with a standard dry Henry. 
  • Wet Use - He also comes with a wet filter which has a float inside to cut off the suction when your dirty water tank gets too full.

But.....

  • Wet Tools - Only comes with a hard floor tool for drying hard floors and spills
  • Shampoo Feed - no... this model has no shampoo tank inside and will not pump shampoo. Not designed as an effective carpet and upholstery cleaning machine. 

Note.. There is a new model now on the market called "Henry Wet & Dry"... he seems to have the same features as Charles so don't get him confused with the "Henry Wash" if you are looking for a carpet cleaning machine.
