Numatic Hetty 160 Vacuum Cleaner – Efficient Pink Cylinder Vacuum
The Numatic Hetty HET160 is a compact dry cylinder vacuum for routine floor and detail cleaning. Its pink body and 6-litre drum provide an easily recognisable machine for shared cleaning cupboards and room-to-room work.
This listing describes the standard 620W HET160 dry model. The compact dimensions help when planning storage, while the working tools allow the cleaning setup to follow the floor and furnishing requirements.
Floor Tools for Carpets and Hard Surfaces
The combination floor tool changes between carpet and suitable hard-floor settings. This helps the operator move between surfaces without replacing the complete hose and tube assembly.
Smaller tools reach edges and appropriate furnishings where a full-width floor head is less convenient. Match the attachment to the surface and follow its care instructions, especially around delicate finishes.
TriTex Collection and Tidy Cable Storage
TriTex filtration works with a fitted NVM-1CH HepaFlo bag to collect ordinary dry dirt. The self-seal bag tab helps contain the contents during replacement and supports straightforward bagged disposal.
The 10-metre cable provides reach around the working area, with manual rewind for storage after use. On-board tool storage keeps frequently used accessories together between cleaning sessions.
Keep the specified filter in place and order compatible NVM-1CH HepaFlo dust bags so a replacement is ready when needed.

- Mixed carpet and hard-floor routes with suitable tools.
- Edges, furnishings and detailed areas around furniture.
Directions for Use
- Check and assemble: Read the supplied instructions. With the plug removed from the socket, check the cable, hose and tools for damage, fit the correct dust bag and filter, and connect the hose, tubes and selected attachment securely.
- Select the surface setting: Use the combination tool with its brushes raised for carpet and lowered for suitable hard floors. Follow the flooring or furnishing care instructions, and choose a smaller accessory where the floor head cannot reach comfortably.
- Vacuum dry material: Use indoors for dry cleaning only. Keep the cable clear of the working route. Do not collect liquids, hot ash, burning material, biological hazards or hazardous or explosive dust.
- Switch off and maintain: Unplug before changing bags, clearing blockages or cleaning the machine. Check the bag and filter regularly, keep tubes and the hose clear, and inspect for damage after use. Rewind the cable and store the vacuum in a dry indoor location.
FAQs
Is Hetty HET160 the 6-litre or 9-litre model?
This HET160 has a 6-litre drum. The model number matters when comparing machines: a similar-looking vacuum may have a different capacity, so choose against the specification as well as the familiar face and colour.
Can I use Hetty on carpet and hard floors?
Yes, with the appropriate floor-tool setting and subject to the surface manufacturer's care instructions. The combination head changes between carpet and hard-floor use, while the smaller tools help with detail cleaning and furnishings.
Which replacement dust bags does it use?
Use Numatic NVM-1CH HepaFlo bags suitable for HET160. Keep the TriTex filter fitted too; replacing the bag does not replace the machine's filter. Check the exact model before ordering other spare parts.
Is the cable rewind automatic?
No. Hetty uses a manual rewind for its 10-metre cable. Wind the cable away after unplugging, and keep the tools with the machine so it is easier to prepare for the next cleaning session.
Can it pick up spills or hazardous dust?
No. This is an indoor dry vacuum, unsuitable for liquid recovery, biological hazards or hazardous and explosive dust. Those tasks require equipment selected specifically for the material and working conditions.
How heavy is the machine for storage and moving?
Numatic specifies 7.5kg ready to work. Its dimensions are 320 × 340 × 345mm, so allow additional room for the hose and accessories when planning cupboard space, and consider the weight when moving between floors.
