SanitaireTradition Commercial Bagged Upright Vacuum, SC688B ,Red

We use these vacuums at our school and they work so much better and last longer than some other more expensive brands. I highly recommend.

This vacuum is backed by top quality carpet manufacturing companies and used by many professional carpet cleaning companies.. so I had to buy one.. works great and doesn’t whip up the wool carpet.. many settings for every type of carpet

It works very well on my rugs and tile love the bag feature to filter the air. My home don't smell dusty after using it!! The cord is almost long enough to do the whole house on one plug Might just use a different outlet the next time. Only complaint is the clamp that holds the cord already broke all by itself just sitting here. Only have the top clamp and it's not very sturdy either and cord is heavy. May have to improvise and use a 'S' hook to hold it? Shame it being brand new! Also would have been nice to receive a couple of extra bags with the machine. Only one belt was included. I understood the vac was made in Mexico but there is sticker on underside saying it's made in China. It sure beats the canister vac with the hose that kept coming apart and had the nasty job of emptying the dirt canister then clean the filter.update well only used the vacuum twice and now the foot pedal is jammed and won't release so can't use the vac at all a shop wants 50 to service it. will be returning it

Easy to assemble. I have a hard time with vacuums either breaking belts or just not have the suction power to pick anything up. I chose this one because of the metal parts and the hope that the old fashion design meant it has been around long enough that I won't have any problems with it. The suction is AMAZING! I have carpet throughout my entire house, including one of my bathrooms. The belt has not broken yet and that is great because the moment I turned on my last vacuum, the belt broke. Another plus is the roller is easy to clean. I have two teenage girls that have long hair like me, so you can only imagine the amount of hair I have to take off of the roller and having to clean the roller every time I vacuum a room. The only problem I have had so far is the top plastic cord holder broke. So, I will need to find a replacement because it holds the bag upright as well.

Makes the task much easier. No filter to clean, no bag to empty, so no dust in my face. A must for carpets.

While the vacuum is easy to assemble and works well, both bolts on the handle keep vibrating loose! It is a pain to have to keep retightening them; yesterday the upper bolt came totally loose and I lost it! I had to shove a pencil through the hole to keep the handle together and finish the job!! Argh!!

One test rated this vacuum at 110% cleaning ability because it cleaned dirt that the reviewer thought he'd cleaned out already plus the dirt that was added for the test (by weight). This vacuum is no joke. It's lightweight but that doesn't matter; the thing sucks and beats the rugs so aggressively it's like pushing rubber on rubber. Though this makes it not easy to push, that's physics, folks....no free lunch. Find something else to clean a cat litter polluted tile floor because it sends the litter flying all over. No attachments here, so you can buy some other stand-alone unit to do that (dust buster, etc.).

This vacuum was recommended in the carpet care information. I bought a wool carpet and the cleaning instructions said that Shark, Dyson, etc had carpet beaters that were too stiff and low for a wool carpet. This explained why my previous wool area rugs would fill the canister up with carpet fuzz. This vacuum has 6 adjustable height levels and works well on my carpets. Only disappointment, which I probably misread, is that the description said attachments but it comes with no attachments. Shipping was very fast, next day.
