Tradition Upright Commercial Bagged Vacuum, SC679K, Gray/Red

First time buyer. The assembly took less than 5 minutes, my dog could assemble this vacuum. I was tired of buying $300+ Dyson vacuums that only lasted 2-3 years in a commercial application. These high-tech machines that do everything except last longer than 2-3 years. Something breaks, good luck finding a replacement part. They are just too complex for commercial applications. We have only been using our "simple" vacuum for a few weeks at our business. So far, here are our pro's and con's. The unit is very simple to assemble. Very simple design and replacement parts are inexpensive and can be replaced with minimal efforts. The performance is very good, has similar suction as a new Dyson. For our application, this vacuum is exactly what we wanted and the build quality and simplicity is very good considering the low price. Overall, for the length of time we have been using, I am extremely pleased. As far as cons, the only item we have noticed is that it may not be as good on hard flooring as it is on carpeting. The jury is still out on this. The majority of our offices are carpet, so not a big concern for us. I am interested to see how many years we get out of this vacuum before it needs replaced. So far, I am sold that simpler is better than the complex.

I bought three of these, one for each of my childcare centres and they were very easy to assemble, work wonderfully and are lightweight. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Used daily in janitorial business - durable with above average suction. Will easily last a long time with house-hold use. Generous cord length. Good quality beater brush.

This vacuum is designed to do what it’s supposed to do minus all the fancy schmancy xtra you won’t even use. It’s designed to vacuum carpet. And that’s exactly what it does. The pick up speed is great. Noise level is normal. Sanitaire is a quality product used by commercial companies. The effectiveness is top tier. Always an amazing purchase.

So, my 15+plus year Eureka Complete Clean was no longer working. It had a torn hose and Eureka doesn't make them anymore. I only loved it due to the heavy duty suction and leaving 'great' lines in carpet. I wanted a new canister but was unable to find one with a power roller/brush I bought a Bissell something upright, broke on first use, returned. So, I was once again searching for a vacuum. I find this one for 150.00...it has metal wands, metal bottom, a power roller/brush (not self propelled but...) I decided to try this. It arrived within 2 days, it was easy to put together. I have vacuumed my entire house. I have small home and only needed to unplug once and move to another socket once, so the cord is super long for me. I must say, I am impressed. Now, I can't see how much is sucked up into bag, I will definitely check. I was able to vacuum all area rugs on '1' setting btw. So far, so good. Well worth the money.. I have literally had it less than an hour.
