The vacuum topic does seem to rile people up.

Because people who vacuum suck. People who don't, blow.

 

[steve_64]

Cyclonic sucking action.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Naw, not really, I don’t really care if he uses a dust pan and broom, long as he don’t work for me

 

[BIG WOOD]

I’d never work for a janitor

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Me either, that makes 2 or 3 of us.

Too much piss in the small. But i used my TM to edge it.

Just a recap from the morons above:

They're bragging on the Proteams. They're wrong. Proteams are NOT a good vacuum for our industry CARPET CLEANING. They are good for daily JANITORIAL work because the light dirt is on the surface of the carpet. They are crap for our need because of the amount of soil that's trapped at the bottom of the carpet. The reason being is the motor isn't on the head of the vacuum, which is needed to make the carpet vibrate, to cause the sand and soil to literally bounce to the surface. I know this because it took my dumb ass to go through 2 proteams to see the difference between those and a vacuum with a more aggressive beater bar action like a sanitaire or a cleanmax pro vacuum. Plus, the bags are STUPID SMALL. Why would a carpet cleaner use a vacuum with such a small bag, wasting money? If you're gonna use a vacuum with a bag...you need a decent size..

As for buying a shark: I'm not a fan of them because they don't have bags, but you can't deny the feedback of performance. It's certainly better than using your wife's vacuum. Now go clean your own carpet at your house today because you just brought in some NASTY on your own floor from that vacuum

It is a bold assumption that I, or anyone else in my family, vacuums at home ....

Do you want to look like the homeowner? Using a common houshold vacuum doesn't distinguish you as a professional. If there's any way that you can see your way clear to purchase a "Commercial" vac, they'll normally perform better for you, last longer, and give you a more professional appearance to boot. The modestly priced Lindhaus Activa 30 Pro is becoming popular with professional carpet cleaners. It's CRI approved too.

I try to be as neutral possible. If my vac brings negative attention once I know it can be an issue again.
Looking professional helps keep the negative attention away so you can put it to bed and focus on other things.
It's everything from your appearance to language you use.
I like to be as neutral as possible. Just doesnt always happen.

Looks pretty good but impossible to use in a staircase

 

[steve_64]

Have you ever been told...I already did that?

 

[steve_64]

And I have that vacuum.

You just insulted them.

 

[Dolly Llama]

Bring any vac in that doesn’t look like a raggity pos or stink like the last dog house, they’ll be impressed

I agree with that.

 

[Living The Dream]

I've never had a homeowner judge me from my vacuum. If anything they are excited when they see that I am using the same vacuum as they purchased.

 

[Cleanworks]

Hard to beat a Panasonic commercial vacuum. It says "commercial" right on it

I've had customers feel insulted I felt their carpet needed to vacuum first.

I pretty much only vacuum when it visibly needs it or I get a vibe from them. Some won't vacuum for a week knowing I'm coming.
I personally feel scrubbing is a much better step than vacuum.

It all varies.

Don't most Sharks have "professional" on them?

Don't most Sharks have "professional" on them?

And a no hassle warranty.

I tried the Proteam thing. The simple fact is, it's no tougher than any other vac. After repairing my Proteam and constantly waiting for parts.... I took the Best Buy shark route. Haven't looked back since.

 

[hogjowl]

I buy my Sharks off of Amazon.
Brady and I don’t beat them up.

You're not working hard enough.

 

[hogjowl]

The reality is there’s no reason for us to be in a hurry. I schedule well and our prices aren’t low.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I do the same plus I’m on SS, but they still ride around in a van
