New Vacuum

[aaronjumps]

The wife has said that I am no longer allowed to use the home vac for work so I need a new one.

Not gonna be spending a fortune on one quite yet, but have a big school job coming up soon so I need one quick.

Are any of these preferable over the others?

The taski jet 50 is my favorite on bigger jobs. It's 20 inches. But the cord is the type that gets the twisted look. We use a lot of different vacs including cordless Dyson and 5 or 6 different sharks. Some sharks are junk.
The pro team probably gets used the most.
The proteam we have I'm not sure they make anymore. Might be able to find a used one but the protea and taski are worth the money if you can swing it.

Don’t pay any attention to the morons here about vacuums. They’ve been giving idiot advice for years.

So helpful

 

[Jimmy L]

Vacuums were obsolete when TM's with big blowers came out : )

 

[hogjowl]

See?

 

[Johnny]

I'd check Craigslist for a clean Kirby.

 

[Mikey P]

If that's all you have to choose from I would get the tall black shark

As a screaming LGBTQ Professional, I prefer the feminine Oreck XL Commercial, a Manly Man Kirby and a confused Canister for edges and some upholstery where you don't want to use your truck mount for whatever reason

Picture #3. Is the one. Maybe a duo version though

I would never take a shark into a customers home.
Or the oreck.
The proteam fits that bill.
And I wouldn't use a sharks to vacuum ASTRO turf or a school.

Bissell bagless around 60 bucks at Wal-Mart is a tuff very strong beast ...Used to be around 49.00 or so .But mine has lasted at least 15 yrs...Tween my own business and home ...Just maintain it ...An get a glue some magnets or get a magnet bar ...Magnetic brooms with wheels are vacuum cleaner life savers for commercial apts ...Regards...All you need is one piece of metal to ruin a great expensive vacuum much less a cheap version...They used to sell a lite weight version of a magnet broom in carpet Cleaning supplie house .But harbor freight has a heavier one that will work wonders ...Saves your tires also in dubious work areas ...

My Oreck says Commercial in it.

It's just too small. And loud.

 

[Mikey P]

Haven't you idiots ever paid attention that the fact that all those commercial Sebo like vacuums Ggoo for weeks on end without ever filling up that tiny bag?

I just feel he is wasting money buying a shark.
We have a bunch of them genny has bought but none of them compare to the proteam imo.
Get a used one if you have to.
Otherwise look for something at a garage sale for a few bucks if money is that tight.
The sooner you step up your game the better off you will be. Jmo

Our proteam bags fill up fast and are heavy. Not sure if you meant me or not.

 

[Rob Grady]

You guys should be testing for Consumer Reports. At least there you will get a consensus.

You mean like twice a week?

 

[Papa John]

The commercial rating doesn't mean it's good.
It only means the Motor can handle more frequent use than a regular home model.

 

[Papa John]

It's a fact- that the Shark will remove more volume of debris than a vacuum with a bag.
I use to sell and repair Dyson vacuums as well. For the Price- the Shark is a better value.

 

[steve_64]

You mean like twice a week?

Maybe every 2 to 4 hours. And it's packed like the taski and oreck.
Hallways and an office with one machine. I carry another. Ours work good. Way better than the sharks genny has been using before that. And faster. Just the weight is an issue. Low maintenance too. And a wand.

I'm pushing the taski for hallways too. It depends on the schedule.

Longer motor brushes.

I feel CR has lost some credibility once they started publishing advertisements.

With a shark, you might have to empty it after vacuuming each room. The canister doesn't lie.

Density. And you look like a hack.

 

[Papa John]

Density. And you look like a hack.

Do you realize that the "density" of the debris is caused by the vacuum sucking the debris down, which decreases the effectiveness of the vacuum?
