VGI or VGII??

[sanitaireboy99]

What do you prefer for Sanitaire/ Electrolux/ Eureka vacuums? Vibra-Groomer I or Vibra Groomer II??

 

[vacman117]

I like the Vibra Groomer 2 the most. It just seems to groom and clean the carpet much nicer than the Vibra Groomer 1, but that is just my opinion.

Definitely the Vibra Groomer II , although that generic 4 brush agitator is quite a good performer if it's outfitted with the genuine Eureka brush strips.

The Vibra Groomer I if the beater bars are slid out and replaced with brush strips!

I've never used a VGI, so I can't say which I'd prefer, but on the hotel grade carpet we have in the living room, the VGII my Sanitaires have do a superb job of cleaning the floor and making it look all nice, but as they're commercial cleaners on what is commercial carpet, they're in their element here...

My VB2 works well on thick carpet, which is what I need it for!

It's interesting too that sanitaire puts the vg1 in the most expensive models and the cheap ones get the vg2

VGII (esp. on thick carpets) beats anything! A VGIII is even better.

Theres a VGIII??? :O :O :O I didnt know that!! :O Can somebody post a pic of it? Thanx!!

The VG III is a "4" brush aggitator. beater bars are replaced by brush strips. It is the same Helix shape as the VG I.

No a vg3 is a vIbra groomer two With no beaters rather more bristles in their place.

 

[twocvbloke]

A VGIII is basically a 4-row version of the VGII, the differences being the beaters are not there, and the brush strips have fanned-out bristles and have bristle stiffener wedges, they're for PNs only and will just burn belts on Eureka & Sanitaire uprights no matter how you try to modify them...

VGIII pic (well, a VGII axle & bearings modified to take a VGIII brushroll tube in my Eureka Rotomatic PN):

And let me say this.


Thats one hell of a power nozzle combo.

Shame it's cracked down the middle and missing a wheel (the latter's my fault for not putting said wheel in a safe place!!)... :S

I like the VG1 - with the beater and the after market version without the beater bar...both work extremly well.

The VG2 also works very well!! If it is a Eureka...it will clean!!!! Even the old standard wood brushroll with the plastic beater bar cleaned well...the old Disturbulator would as Hans Craig would say "tear up any rug and clean it"

VGIII

Pic of brush roll. Currently available only for Express series PNs. I hope there'll be one for uprights!

"I hope there'll be one for uprights!"

There won't, they cause the belts to burn out (no matter whether it's a Hoover Senior/convettible or the original Eureka RD belts), so there will never be an upright version of the VGIII...
