Great carpet cleaner, but not easy to maneuver,
I would personally rate this vacuum 5 stars for its carpet cleaning ability, but if you have any limitations such as carpal tunnel or a bad back, get a lighter model. Because this item is heavy, it cleans carpet extremely well, but the sacrifice is that you can’t just turn corners one-handed like many models. I have gone through 3 vacuums in 3 years because the cheap plastic parts didn’t hold up to weekly vacuuming. I take very good care of my appliances, but plastic is not made to last 20 years like the expected life span of this Sanitaire model.

|Know what you want…,
This vacuum is, without a doubt, the best vacuum I have ever used! I had been searching for the perfect vacuum to suit my needs (every room in my home except the kitchen and bathroom has high pile carpeting); I also did not want to pay a small fortune. I found exactly what I was looking for in this vacuum. Please be aware though, that this is not a vacuum for everyone. 1)It is no lightweight, weighing in at 18lbs. (Who needs to lift weights? lol) 2)It has a shake out cloth bag (This is a BIG plus for me– I dislike vacs with cups as I find they fill up too quickly in my large home, and I have always had a really hard time finding the right size paper bag for any other vac). 3)It has no attachments (easily remedied with the purchase of an inexpensive canister for edge cleaning and quick jobs). 4)It has a 50 foot power cord– I LOVE being able to vacuuum most of the house without having change the plug! (though it takes a bit longer to wind up the cord). 5)Overall this vacuum is designed to do ONE job really well– CLEAN CARPETS. (ie, don’t try to clean hardwood or tile with it, but, for me, that is what my broom is for). No other vacuum I have ever used has worked this well (I have been trying friends’ and family’s for quite a while now, trying to figure out what I want, but now I think I’ll stick with vacuuming my own house). Even my neighbor has commented on how much better my carpets look and feel. This is one powerful vacuum!

|Best commercial vacuum,
It actually isn’t that heavy I weighed it and its 14 lbs with the cord on the ground as it would be in use. most good vacuums weigh in at this weight or are heavier. The handle is strong and I regularly pick up from the handle not the head as some cheap vacs require. This vac kicks Kirby’s butt which weighs more costs more and isnt near as serviceable. Sanitaire does make lighter vacs that I think beat oreck so those psuedo commercial units should be avoided get a real one for less money.
update: After almost a year of use I am still happy with this vacuum but sometimes the bag smells when I vacuum and I have to wash it. I like not having to find paper bags but I think the advantage of not having dust when emptying and no smell from dog hair would make me get the sanitaire with the paper bag, same vacuum just different model number. Of course I am a carpet cleaner and vacuum a lot so it may not apply with less use.
update: After 2 years of use it still looks and runs great. The chrome top stays bright. I have replaced the motor because I ran a long time on a damaged fan blade so it shook apart it cost me 45.00. I also switched bags for 25.00 so now I can use the Paper style Eureka F&G paper bags. Its nice how available parts are. People still comment on what a good job it does.
