Commercial Vacuum options take #2

@kirbyclassiciii
Those are all super cool vacuums.
Generally speaking dir air for commercial use is a no-go these days. The added cost of fans and belts are unnecessary .The industry has reflected this.
Also it appears we can no longer order Royal metal uprights from TTI.
I've seen the generation series used commercially it tends to be a rather expensive proposition.

Alex,

Especially not those metal Royal uprights with the shake-out bags (the ones without a "Z" in their model nomenclatures). When I watched this video, you explained that the shake-out bag had been outlawed in a few states.

How come Sanitaires are STILL the most common commercial vacuums?You should have seen a Carpetpro that was used in a burger place that the user tried to pick up a WHOLE hamburger with it!!!!!WHAT A MESS-A Sanitaire would have been easier to clean out.Actually as I a said it before---NO vacuum cleaner is really good for food service use!That is why brooms,Bissel sweepers are still used in restaurants.

@photowizd Just buy a SEBO and call it good. Can't ask for better then them !

@tolivac I haven't seen one direct air commercial sanitaire out in the field im my travels. The only Sanitaires I've seen have been bypass coming on lately. They've really lost most of their commercial market share. Nilfisk-advance,Karcher,Bissell&commercial Hoover have taken the place for sure. I think it was a different story 15 years ago they definitely were pretty popular. I'm included a link to my Instagram where I've documented my travels and what I've seen.

@kirbyclassiciii I can't have a custom video for everybody. The point of that video is the show the shortcomings of Dirty air vacuums . The dump bag was besides the point. TTI Royal does make good HEPA bags. Another example of the point I was trying to make.

The Sanitaires are VERY common out here.ProTeam uprights are also common here.At one restaurant I frequently eat at--they have NO vacuum at all-just a mop and a broom.The place has all hard floors.

 

[tolivac]

The Sebo shown in the video is surprisingly clean for being in a restaurant.The Sebo dealer here DOES NOT recommend them for use in foodservice places.The Sebo is another HOME type vacuum.The warrantee can be invalidated if this is used commercially-but folks use them like other vacuums for commercial use.

I reeccomend a Hoover Guardsman or convertible/decade. The guardsman is not listed as bagged on Hoover commercial’s website, but it is available as model c1431-010. It also uses the same motor from the 80s convertibles and decades. Alternatively you might find a Kirby to be a good choice. I’d reccomend a sentria or later, but reallly any model is going to work fine. If you want a clean air, try the cleanmax pro series. I used one during my time working at a rec. centrer, and it cleaned well and withstood all the use it got.

@tolivac I definitely didn't sell them that vacuum. But it came in so I made a video .
That's an important point about the warranty!

Of course if you're using commercially I would recommend the Windsor or Karcher version

[tolivac]

Notice how familiar the Karcher vacuums are!!!!!On the Felix style vacuums I would be concerned about the nozzle on the main body breaking.Has happened.I haven't seen ANY Windsor vacuum cleaners in my area.No Windsor dealers here that I know of.The closest would be Raleigh or Charlette.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@tolivac Windsor dealers don't really exist. bigger companies usually work directly with manufacturers and buy wholesale with service contracts.
This is how most commercial vacuums are sold.

I think we are all well aware of Karcher/Windsor/Sebo being the same .
Never seen a main body break, could you email me pictures of what you have seen ? I am most definitely interested in what you have seen .

If you broke the "main nozzle" on a kärcher, Felix, Windsor

It is part# 7078 air duct in the schematic owners manual. I believe it is a thicker and fiber reinforced plastic compared to the power nozzle plastic. I seen a video of someone kicking and smashing the Felix like a and it was designed to give and let go. The upright latch mechanism didn't even break. Sebo has definitely considered the possibility and attempted to do something about it.

Costs $35 to replace from sebo direct. The fixed neck on the et1 is about $25 is you didn't want to pay 50 for the swivel.

Costs a little more than a pack of bags.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@holeefuk What happened that it broke ?

 

[holeefuk]

I did not break airduct only have a picture of it expose for reference of strength and difference from residential.

I consider to replace this part because it not the same compared Felix premium variable speed when I asked sebo America.

I make workaround without buying part.

This part very strong not likely to break unless thrown out a window
