SanitaireTradition Upright Bagged Commercial Vacuum, SC886G 8.5" x 17.3" x 21.3"

I have worked custodial services for years, this is the vacuum we always use. Easy to service and takes a lot of abuse. Bought a new one for home, had a household version of a Sanitaire for 20 years, but they are now discontinued. So I got the commercial one. Long cord is great, plug it in once and do the whole house. Practically sucks up the rugs. Very powerful. Nothing special just a strong, old school vacuum. It will do the job.

The vacuum arrived very quickly, easy to assemble, and our dusty carpets are gone, and now we have a well vacuumed showroom floor area.

Great vacuum. Same model used in numerous commercial applications. Very sturdy and power cord is heavy duty. Most vacuums come with roller brushes, but the Sanitaire comes with brushes and a "beater bar" that smacks the carpet and allows the brushes a better chance of cleaning debris from carpet fiber. I use in my basement area that is half workshop (concrete floor) and half carpet. I constantly drag saw dust from the workshop side to the carpet side. This vacuum is the only type designed well enough to dislodge and vacuum up saw dust in the carpet. Does a great job no matter where you use it at. Granite you have to remove and manually empty the vacuum bag (I use a dust mask when doing so), but the vacuum never needs replacement paper bags.

Good quitt

I have owned several Commercial vacuums some of the cheeper ones and less watts are not worth the problem's. I found this commercial upright vacuum on amazons New/Used inventory, the only difference I could see was that it didn’t come with original box, there are no noticeable defects what so ever, the vacuum bag was never used and still in original sealed bag, it had not even been put together so I know it wasn’t refurbished or worked on and so far it all works great and for a great price. It is a little heavier than the others I own. It has plenty of power and is great for picking up pet hair.
