The Shark Navigator is a good vac...BUT...

for pure raw ability to pull crUd out of carpets, the Bissel Momentum kicks the Shark's azz all over the carpet

i found a place that had them for $65 ea.
I bought 3 of them...... 8)

the NEW swivel Shark has a huge cup.


the POS Bisssellls do dig a bit deeper but 20% of the crap ends up in the air so it's all relative.

 

[daniel@procarpet]

Bissel is a pos.

After one job the filter is so stopped up that it just becomes a big mess.

Shark is a good vacuum, but my only complaint is the brush roll gets dirty fast. It cleans easy though.

Not the best vac, but a decent one for sure.

Who the hell needs a vacuum when you have a truck mount? hey Marty, blow me

I have been using a Royal Elite Everlast MYR 8300. Picked it up for 399 shipped, new in box. Works great. I got tired of cheap vac that don't hold up for more then a few months. I have 2-3 broken vacs in the garage waiting to be fixed this winter. One is a ry6900 http://www.vacuum-home.com/royal-ry6900/

Anyone else using this Vac?

The "Bissel Momentum" is a sweet vac. for the house but out in the field you HAVE to clean the filters EVERY day... Just not going to happen here, it's a pita.

I'll stick with my Shark for now..

The royal vac is unreliable. Can't pick up large debris without it stopping the roller brush and burning the belt up. I have a few but strictly are used by myself in restaurants and offices. Employees can not handle this. Vac due to the trouble it gives

I don’t get why you are willing to drop 20K+ on a truckmount and won’t spend $200-$300 on a commercial grade vacuum. The Wal-Mart vacuums will not impress customers or hold up to commercial use. I have been having good luck with the newer model bagged Sanitaire. Fook cleaning filters all the time.

The Shark looks super gay :shock: hey Marty, blow me :shock: hey Marty, blow me

The Powerforce was the one I had with major filter issues, but having gone through that(had a momentum also)... I like not having to deal with that. What I normally prevac for is hair, and the shark does well with it. I really like to prevac. upholstery with the tool supplied on the shark also...

The custy's I prevac. for don't need an impressive vacuum...

Mike how do you go into a piss filled home with your fancy vac. and run it over a carpet then go to a house with no pet and use the same vacuum(I'm sure you have two vacuums in your van,right??)? I believe a fancy piss smelling vac. would be alot worse then a nice smelling cheap vac.. I can just throw mine out.

ummm..cause that $300 com vac don't pick up as good as a POS Bissel

The Wal-Mart vacuums will not impress customers or hold up to commercial use.

I'd suggest just bringing in a vac is more than 90% of the BD's out there do .
as far as "holding up"...I don't know about you, but after a year of crew abuse, a vac looks like a beat up POS regardless of the price paid ...it don't look so "impressive"

and for the price of a new bag holder on your Sanitare when yours gets "stinked out" ...(and don't tell me they don't ....cause I "know" better) I can buy a BRAND SHINNY NEW vac ...which I submit is more "impressive" than that 2-3 year old beat up "com" model

I have been having good luck with the newer model bagged Sanitaire. Fook cleaning filters all the time.

ain't about "luck" man..it's about performance and a POS Bissel will out vac your sanitare .
Not to mention the virtue of an inexpensive (cheaply replaced) vac .
When they get roached out in looks or "stinked out" from dog dander smell, they get pitched or relegated to the abusive world of sec 8 rehabs


know what else??...I'll never have more than a $65 dollar bill in replacement parts when something does break or need replaced .
cause I'll pitch the POS and buy a shinny gleaming BRAND NEW one !gotcha!

Having tried vacs from pretty every manufacture, the Sanitaire is the only one that I have found that picks up the most dirt. Been using some for over 16yrs and only replaced roller brushes and belts. The vibra groomer roller brush on the Sanitaire does a great job "vibrating and suspending" the dirt making the carpets/rugs cleaner.

Does the Momentum not clog up like the powerforce? The powerforce just about drove me out of my mind.
