I will admit I don't vac every job, however I can tell if the carpet really needs it usually, and when it does, the problem with the house vacs like the bissel is they can't handle the volume of the crap, the bissel also will clog too. the sanitaire has a huge bag that will hold pretty much anything a house can have in it with one fill. the best vac imo is still a pile lifter, I don't get why people say they don't vac that great, the one time I did use one, I thought geez do I really even need to start the truckmount now.

I had a Sanitaire and loved it. In fact Ive been meaning to buy a new one. Do the ones with the dirt cup perform as well as the ones with a bag? I can tell you I will never get one with a shake out bag again.

Also Ive used a Dyson, the one for pet hair, and I was pretty impressed. I couldnt believe how much crap it got up.

the 886 on my arm.

Sanitaire by far.

 

[Rob Rocha]

Used Kirby, there built to last tremendous suction and self propelled.

We use Windsor versamatics and backpacks in our janitorial business so since I am breaking into the residential arena that's what's in my van.
Our oldest Versamatic is going on seven years and the only things ever changed were the brush strips,bags and filters.

dyson...old yella variety.

I use a Dyson and love it. However, if I were running crews, or had a helper on the van with me, I'd be hesitant about using a Dyson. You have to be very careful with a Dyson on berber style carpets. Any bad seam or pulled loop is fair game for the brush roller to pull out and make a corn row all the way across the room.

I'm guilty of that one Marty. By the time you realize what happened it's way too late. Usually, some choice words follow.

Sanitaire with dirt cup and nothing else..

Prochem winsor PV12. The one we have at the shop is 10 years old and still works just as good as it did brand new.

Let me help you out here. Now listen up and listen closely. You rank vacuums like you do women...the better one sucks the better off you are...but any sucking is better than no sucking.

So you do NOT need to buy an expensive vacuum cleaner. These guys that buy expensive vacuums are only fooling themselves and wasting money.

The main thing is....USE IT!!!

Buy a cheap one, spend two minutes a day cleaning the filters, use the damn thing, and take the money you saved and sign up for my betting service. You will be so far ahead after a month you'll want to kiss me...even with some tongue.

Dog may be a lot of things-( I will spare the adjectives)-but he is correct about this. I buy and use and recommend the Oreck 8 pound upright. It's durable (survives my van for a few years) and is easy for even an old lady to carry upstairs. The main thing is to use it.

 

[Ron Werner]

I would only add, that if you are going to use it
Use it to suck up the soil, not just for show

Art....like my girlfriend would say:

Are you love me?

The Hoover Mach 6 is by far the best one I have used. I have a Dyson at the cape house and a bunch of other vacs that just are not even close. I actually keep a few on the truck to sell because my custys like them so much

 

[Harry Myers]

Oreck and Dyson both do not have height adjustments. This is why there are many law suits with one of the favorite. Beater bar , stiff brush and no height adjustment means trouble.
