    NOTE TO ALL: I would NOT advise doing business with Dustin. For reasons, please email me privately. I would rather not publicize them.

    new vacuum advice please!

    Hoover Elites are most definitely not a better cleaner than a Sanitaire. Opinions are nice. Fact is fact though. And as I said above, and so did several others, a commercial vacuum is the best choice for a commercial environment.

    When did Kirby

    I believe it came out in 1994 and ended somewhere around 1996 or 1997.

    If ebay and other places aren't up to your standards, why not just buy a Sanitaire from me? I have a few of them available and I'm sure we could set something up for you.

    What kirby should I find?

    The Tradition uses a different fill tube set up for its paper bags than a Heritage II, Legend II, or G Series. The classic style emptor is definitely original. And I think that design is quieter because of the larger casing, the paper bags, and other design changes between the 561 (1961) and the...

    More votes in favor of the Sanitaire. I knew I was on to something. I mean, I only have 5 going on 6 years experience in commercial cleaning, and all these other people are vacuum experts in their own right.

    Well, you asked for advice. You got advice. You choose not to use said advice. We all tried.

    new vacuum advice please!

    Well then you're basically screwed. The cheap garbage at the big-box stores will never last in a commercial environment and will not be able to handle that much dirt.

    new vacuum advice please!

    A COMMERCIAL vacuum is what's required for a job of that size if you want it to last at all. Go on eBay and find a used Sanitaire, or go to a janitorial supply store and find a good quality commercial machine. Some good brands to look at are: Sanitaire, Kent, Advance, Tennant, Powr-Flite...

    Dial A Matic

    I've never been a fan of the Dial a Matic. If you're not happy with it, do what you wish. They're not the easiest to fully service.

    Well, I finally found one of my most sought after childhood machines.

    One more. This time looking up at the business end of this beast from the dirt's viewpoint.

    Well, I finally found one of my most sought after childhood machines.

    Its been cleaned. Hahaha. I refuse to remove that paint from the base. It was always like that when I used it daily, so I don't want to change the memory. But it is truly amazing that nobody knew it was down there for 5 years. Thanks for your kind words!
