"Henry"

Numatic's Henry vacuum cleaner

One of Numatic's most popular products is a vacuum cleaner called Henry, which is easily distinguishable by the large smiling face on the front of the canister (there are two screen printed eyes and a mouth, and the vacuum's hose forms its nose). Since the introduction of Henry in 1980, over 7 million have been produced worldwide.[1]
