Sanitaire Commercial Canister Vacuum Cleaner for Hard Floors and Carpet

Kamloops Guy: The unit has good suction, but this is pretty cheaply made. Says commercial duty and metal tubes but the attachments, hose, and wand are all cheap plastic. The cord is really good quality and the power switch seems heavy duty too. The bags are generously sized and cheap to buy. So its not bad, but not really as described. It will do for now, i guess.

Amazon should ensure descriptions of items are accurate.

Will: Great little vacuum better than expected for the price

Leyton: I just received my little red vacuum today and was eager to try it out. It was very easy to put together and feather light. Mine came with the two piece wand an not the telescopic metal wand but this was a minor deal. When I turned it on it was quieter than I thought it would be due to other reviews. The suction was adjustable and was very strong. I can see myself using the carry strap because the vac is so light. I would use this feature for stairs or a room with lots of stuff to go around. Overall this is a great strong compact vacuum. I am very happy with this purchase and may purchase another for my custodial company. I highly recommend this product for anyone that doesn't want to pay $400-$500 for a vacuum from a retailer.

Dan: A great vacuum for hard floors, cars, and tight spaces. Much better for in the car or home than a noisy shop-vac. Nice wand and attachments. Easy bag change too. The wand/hose is made from decent material and seems that it will last. The cord is decent at about 15/20 feet. The vacuum does have cord storage and a quick release for the cord. Turn the front wheel and the whole cord comes free; great vacuum. I also have a Sanitare SC888 for my carpets, these two make a killer combo. Upright vacuums with detachable wands generally are poor performers, so I went the two vacuum route at enjoy the strengths of two styles.

Olivier: J'aime la puissance de cet aspirateur, qui me semble de bonne qualité. Je m'en sers depuis presqu'un an.

J'aime moins le morceau de tuyau en plastique, qui ne tient pas toujours bien le bras métallique.
Je n'aime pas le fait de devoir enrouler manuellement le fil électrique après l'utilisation.

Mais je recommande quand même cet aspirateur pour sa puissance et sa solidité.

Hunt Richardson: Purchased it for my mother (lives in a medium-sized NYC apartment) because it was light and easy to carry. Major problems in functions:

1. Weak suction. Suction on previous, older Electrolux model was stronger. Hole in extension of new vacuum is larger causing less suction per square inch.
2. Overheats quickly, very hot to the touch.
3. When bag is removed while unit is in cleaning position, dirt spills out because the bag has no closing flap
4. Hose it so long that it flaps around when cleaning in a tight spot, getting caught. And can knock things off low tables
5. Was told by a repair shop that Electrolux does not back the warranty - Eureka does. This complicates reimbursement for repairs
6. To get service in NYC, need to take to a store many miles away on West Side from home on East Side.

I intend to return the product and get a refund!

UPDATE:
A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DEAD:
Seller E-Source Direct refused to issue me a refund or allow me to return it. They have a 14-day refund request policy, and you must return product in 30 days or else they will not refund your money. However, NOWHERE is this policy stated on...

colette k: I've never submitted a review, but I am so happy with this vacuum that I feel compelled to write one. I was on the very of purchasing the mighty mite when one of its reviewers pointed me over here. I've only owned this commercial canister vac for a couple weeks, but I feel like my house is cleaner than it has been in years. My house is 1/4 wall to wall carpet and 3/4 hardwoods, I was looking for one vacuum that would be perfect for both carpet and wood floors, unfortunately this still doesn't fit the bill perfectly. However, I find that it is great for all my hardwood areas, the stairs (which are most annoying) and the small rugs in my entry and kitchen. For my carpeted hall and bedrooms upstairs, I'm going to stick with the old upright (which I wanted to replace because I hate using the hose & attachments on it, but it is ok for using to push around upright).

The only thing I wanted that this little vacuum doesn't have is the retractable cord. However, it does have a shoulder strap, which I feel some how made up for the lack of retractable cord. I used to hate my mom's old canister vacuum that I would lug around behind me and it would get stuck around corners and flip...
