I'm not joining the no vacuum movement.

[Living The Dream]

I can't believe the amount of people coming out of the closet as people that don't prevac and some of them aren't even dry stroking. I just picked up this piece of American fine craftsmanship. It has a power assist that makes it push easier than our Shark, Oreck and Lindhaus. Our other vacs will still be used depending on the situation but I'm excited to add this to our fleet.

Clunky piece of....

 

[Nomad74]

Does it come with a ramp?

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Is it dual motor?

Open up the belt compartment, and post a pic of the rubber band they use to drive the brush roll...

Yes I own one, and no, I do not like it at all...

I paid 250$ bucks for it, and that was about 200 more than I should have...

It’s used as my rug vac, and I change belts on it, on average, once a month or 2....

I also own a Lindhaus, a proteam, and my home vac is a Miele...
I wish Miele made a commercial vac....

Pussy. It's not heavy.

I'll take a pic as soon as I can. From just using it around the house it digs up pet hair better than our Shark and pushes super easy. Yes it is clunky but we still have our other vacs for different situations. I just ordered 3 more Sharks as well. Their powered lift aways are very versatile.

Use it commercially for a month, then tell me how much you like it...
I wanted to love it... I had it on my van for 4 months. I used it on residential and commercial for the entire time...

It’s not for me, or my company...

I’m planning on getting a Shark for gross places we come across. They are usually few, and far between.

Marty swears by them, and if a grumpy old goat likes them, maybe there’s something to them....

You’re stupid for two reasons:
1) Not realizing that 99% of all carpet cleaners are hacks.
2) And for buying that vacuum.
I’ll give you a pass from my idiot list because you vacuum.

This is the first time you've called me stupid. Usually I'm just an idiot. This vacuum will have it's place in our arsenal. I think it looks nice and does a good job, but our Sharks will still be our go to. I saw a post from years ago on another forum where you were bragging up Dyson.

Dyson used to be great
Until they dumbed down their brush roll
And before I found the powered lift away Shark

The powered lift way is pretty hard to beat. Very versatile. We let our employees choose which vacuum they wanted and they all picked that one.

Hold on there pardner, do you mind trotting through that again?

It was great when you were using it but now that you use something else, you're stupid if you don't use what you currently do?

Sounds familiar?

I bought two Kirbys for $100. Mrs. Coastie commandeered one for the house. She very kindly lets me use it every Saturday, though.

Do you have the power assist on yours? It makes pushing it effortless.

[Hack Attack]

you prevaccers need to get premium customers like mine..



I thought the 2 different carpets was next level class

No idiot
I went searching for something else once the Dyson changed their brush roll.
That’s when I found the Shark.
Somehow, I think you got it the first time.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

He does have a trailer.

 

[scotty747]

I just tossed mine at the dump. My Sanitare pulled out what the Kirby left behind. I do respect the Kirby though.

 

[hogjowl]

I’ve got two Kirbys at the office. They belonged to my folks. I bet they’re 60 years old.

Marty, can you please post the exact model you use in your business?

 

[Old Coastie]

Yup. Got them off a Ukrainian whose wife refused to box them if he sold on Ebay.
He wanted $100 each and sold both to me with attachments (which I’ll never use) For $100. At $50 each, how can I say no?

 

[scotty747]

Ni.
That's no in Ukranian.

 

[hogjowl]

Any “POWERED LIFT AWAY” model.
There’s several.
POWERED is key.
