Sanitaire TRADITION Upright Commercial Bagged Vacuum, SC684G Red

Nice, realiable vacuum so far. Lately, we've been through many vacuums, many of them "high end" and several hundred dollars, only to have them become useless because one little plastic tab rendered the parts unconnectable, or undisconnectable, for maintenance. Can we just stop with the programmed obsolescence? Bought this because I've seen them in hotels, and I figure they can't afford to constantly have their vacuums break down. Almost everything on this thing is metal, and what isn't (like the cord hooks) can cheaply be replaced by a metal version. It does a good job of cleaning, and the beater bar is easy to de-hair.

Excellent vacuum cleaner.

PROS: This vacuum sucks. Hehe. In reality it seems very well built, metal handle and roller. The cable is thick and very long. It is probably the strongest vacuum I've used; I've used commercial vacuums in my work. Hopefully it doesn't crap out. If you need something to clean carpet, this is it. Seems like it's built to last. CONS It is heavy compared to it's modern counterparts, taking it up and down stairs might be hard for some people. It won't fit under a table or couch, no attachments or hoses for corners, but the suction is great. It's pretty loud, so if you live in an apartment it's probably best to use it during the day.

Sold me bags that I didn’t need.Machine runs good.

I’ve been a school custodian for 30 years and we have always used Sanitaire uprights simple design, and high-quality gets the job done

The refurbished product arrived one day late. There were mounting bolts which were missing and cheap plastic parts that broke upon installation I was offered a pittance for accepting the defects. This product was not worth keeping even at a discount. It is labeled commercial. The label should actually say children’s toy. The housing was made of plastic. I would run away from this product instead of buying. Please note that I did not even operate the unit, but I could tell it was very substandard upon assembly.

Amazing value for how good the thing works. People that are saying how good the suction is are very correct. I have never felt a vacuum this powerful. Highly recommend.

This is not a lightweight cordless vacuum, but a heavy-duty commercial machine that really does an excellent job on a carpet. The very long cord is very, very handy. It is also not quiet. But the 2-year-old carpet looks and feels like new.

Still working after a few months of heavy use in a store with high traffic. Not bad at all

Its a vacumm cleaner . What do you mean what did I use it for ? I baked a cake.
