Who knows this vacuum?

[Mikey P]

Talked to a 36 year vet today

He use to run six truckmount crew.

Now he rocks it solo out of a minivan, a 150 Ninja, a 175 and a mountain of Polysorb loopy bonnets.


I could tell with out a doubt he does a great job.


This is his vacuum...

 

[Kellie Hiler]

It's old! I have no idea....

 

[WillS]

Sanitaire

POS PowrFlite vacuum........... Had like 10 of those back in the 1990's......

Just tossed the last one a few years ago..... Took up too much wasted space.... lol

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, I bet he does wonderful work ...

 

[rjwood]

That vacuum looks very familiar. I know I've used one - whateveritis.

 

[Jimmy L]

What Nate says........powerflite

 

[Mikey P]

First time I've seen one.


What issue other than jamming or cracking fans does it have?

 

[Vincent Feehan]

I used to run them, the ports get plugged up all the time. Pretty powerful vac. The flat belt didn't last very long either

 

[KevinD]

I have a couple I still use.
Only problem I ever had was the bar in the brush roll coming loose from the groove on several.
Could have been a bad batch of rollers.

I had a blue plastic a Royal from clean freak had the same setup on the bottom worked great til the rubber melted the plastic.

Looks like a Powrflight vac to me..
Yes I think they spelled it that crazy way..

 

[rwcarpet]

Maybe a PF 757 upright? (Powrflite) John the Pad Man used these after padding, years ago.

 

[Mikey P]

No longer offered?

Power Flite vac like everbody has said, I use to use them back when I was 20 years old and my first cleaning company, we did a bonnet system and used a power flite vac it was pretty powerful and light weight.

Um we might say there junk......but that thing looks like it has been around for a while LOL

Looks like the PF117 model which is no longer made.
There is a sticker on the right side under the cover (removed in picture) that would tell you for sure.
Probably the closest comparable unit now would be the PF757

Power flight was my first. Didn't last very long before the motor started screaming. I threw it away. Worked fine up until then. I even had the attachment that you could show your customers the dirt with. I might still have that some where

 

[Desk Jockey]

I had one like that...yep got her in a box of Cracker Jacks.

I don't think I would clean anymore if I had to go back to a porty. Walmart greeter sounds better than using a porty again.

YES that is the same thing I had hooked on the back of the vac.
My supplier at the time told me " This is the soil analysis test" You do this and you can sell vacuums too!! Oh being 20 years old and gullible
