Church Vacuum

Hi Dustin I for 20 years worked in a church where just about every thing was carpet. I used with VERY GOOD LUCK THE KIRBY HERITAGE 2 and the Kirby G4.I found if you want them to Last you Must LOCK them up and leave a cheap vacuum for others to use when you are not their. Good luck Doug

Matt, I sent you an email.

Luckily the ladies and myself who help clean our church are very careful with our vacuum, as well as everything else. I'm lucky to be cleaning with a Hoover Concept One circa 1984 that has been well cared for and regularly serviced. So with careful use a good domestic use machine can last in that setting

Go to the Goodwill and try to find a Hoover Elite. They are the best thing next to a Sanitaire, if not better.

 

[vintageroyal611]

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.

Yahh...

You aren't buying the Versamatic because you backed out...you young collectors need to learn to go through with a deal, or keep your mouth shut. Don't get someone to have the deal basically packaged and ready and then say "Oh sorry, no longer interested"...thats not a good strategy in life.

Btw, I agree with Matt, no an Elite is not even close to a Sanitaire.

 

[vacman117]

Yeah, Matt and Kyle are right. A Sanitaire will REALLY out-clean an Elite, any day. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but that's honestly absurd

 

[vacman117]

And Dustin, instead of buying a new vacuum, you might as well pay to get the Fantom, Windtunnel, and Dyson fixed. Those will last a while. Did that even go through your head?

 

[vintageroyal611]

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

 

[tolivac]

I would also take a Sanitaire over an Elite.

 

[dustin]

Kyle, I am truly sorry for what happened, I really did want to buy it, but it turned out that I really couldnt do it. I thought I had the money and it turned out I didnt. again I am sorry.

 

[dustin]

Matt, I was asking you how much a sanitaire would cost, because it turned out that i didnt have the money to buy Kyles windsor. it turned out to be the same, possibly more. I never made any commitment, I was just asking some questions. then you had to warn everybody not to do any business with me. I really appreciate that. thanks. and BTW Kyle, I am 17 and will be 18 in 16 days.

Thrift stores, etc ARE great places to find

suitable vacs. Sometimes, they don't reallt know what they're selling, and the price is great. I WISH I knew your situation 2 weeks ago. I returned to Impact!, the yellow Eureka was gone. It looked to be in exceptional condition, and was only $15.00 A bargain (if you like that type of cleaner). I'd have gladly picked it up for you. I'm sure you'll find a solution. Good luck. John

hey dustin in case your still looking (i didnt read the whole thread) overstock.com is selling the bagless (you know- the dirt cup w/ the bag on top) sanitaire for $150. i have had really good experiences with them so that would probably be a good way to go
