I have used Kenmore canister to vaccum the church. Was great for getting under the pews, but having to back out of each row was difficult. Was suggested to set the canister on the pews. Maybe a backpack would work better.
Also used one of my Kenmore canister to vaccum a friends house with mostly older hardwoods but some tile, area rugs and carpet mixed in, as well as wooden stairs. It did a good job.
My mother also used a Kenmore canister when she used to cleaned clubhouse in a retirement community with mostly commercial carpet and vinyl tile. When she cleaned client's homes mostly used their machines. She disliked the Rainbow -filling it each time and flushing contents down the toilet.
