another website I visit prohibits product comparisons-the Candlepower Forums-a website for portable lighting and flashlight collectors.I have a collection of lights,too.
Now- for the vacs-dragged out my Sanitaire SC883 vacuum and currently giving the machine a try-its working well.Got the floor nozzle to a better height for my deep carpets-its at pos#6.-all the way up.The brush and fan are turning without stalling.Don't feel it needs the hole modifications.My other Sanitaires may need that.The SC883 Contractor model must have more nozzle height settings.The SC883 Contractor machine I have uses the ST Filtrete bags-like the Kirbys,7A motor(120V)and was built in Mexico.Sanitaire has been building their machines in Mexico now,The quality of mine is very good.I am using it for awhile to see how it does.So far-very good-Grooms very well.And like the Kirby-the flooring around it vibrates as the Sanitaire is run over it-and the Carpet "Airlifts"to the Sanitaire nozzle like with the Kirby or Royals.to put it this way the Sanitaire gives Kirby performance or maybe better-but at a lower price.and the Sanitaire would be easier than a Kirby to service. Now,I wonder why the orig buyer of this machine returned it?It works Supurb for me.Its presently getting a daily workout.and the more i use it-like the sound of it.
