Sanitaire Tradition Upright Bagged Commercial Vacuum, SC886G 8.5" x 17.3" x 21.3

This commercial-grade vacuum stands out with its robust build and heavy-duty power cord. Unlike typical models, the Sanitaire features unique brushes and a "beater bar" that effectively clean debris from carpet fibers. Highly recommended for its exceptional cleaning performance.

Great vacuum. Same model used in numerous commercial applications. Very sturdy and power cord is heavy duty. Most vacuums come with roller brushes, but the Sanitaire comes with brushes and a "beater bar" that smacks the carpet and allows the brushes a better chance of cleaning debris from carpet fiber. I use in my basement area that is half workshop (concrete floor) and half carpet. I constantly drag saw dust from the workshop side to the carpet side. This vacuum is the only type designed well enough to dislodge and vacuum up saw dust in the carpet. Does a great job no matter where you use it at. Granite you have to remove and manually empty the vacuum bag (I use a dust mask when doing so), but the vacuum never needs replacement paper bags.

But this for the company these are great vacuums they last a very long time easy to work on.

Suction power is very good. It is easy to maneuver and assembly was easy. The cord is a bit long for household use but easily changed due to the removable cord. I haven't had to dump the bag yet but will probably change to the disposable bag eventually. Since it isn't possible to stop the brush roller, it isn't meant for bare floors. Great for what it was intended for though. Just a good no-frills upright with a brush roller and good suction. Just what I wanted. I chose this one for the longer motor life. We have a commercial grade carpet with padding under it in our apartment and this vacuum lifts the carpet just like the Kirby used to. So it has great suction.

Amazing amazing amazing Suction power. Pulled crap out of the carpet I didn't know existed. Everything else is so so about it. Build quality feels flimsy especially at the handle. Yes it has some metal but that metal is attached to plastic which makes me thing that plastic ain't gonna last long. Ease of maintenence is awesome. Features suck but if you want a vacuum just to vacuum then you ain't gonna find better. It will make ur carpet cleaner then you ever had it. I will never buy a vacuum from wally world or target again. Just a word to the wise, do not empty the bag indoors unless you want a mess.

This is only my second time using this vacuum. I use it at home only. The bag is clean. The brushes stopped turning and I could smell burning. I had it on the next to the highest setting on normal cut pile carpet. I took it apart to check the belt and the metal shaft burned me badly. Nothing was stuck in the vacuum. I am a professional carpet cleaner. I own a carpet cleaning business and know how to use a vacuum properly. This is an expensive lesson. Very disappointed.

Very professional vacuum. Excellent suction power.

I have worked custodial services for years, this is the vacuum we always use. Easy to service and takes a lot of abuse. Bought a new one for home, had a household version of a Sanitaire for 20 years, but they are now discontinued. So I got the commercial one. Long cord is great, plug it in once and do the whole house. Practically sucks up the rugs. Very powerful. Nothing special just a strong, old school vacuum. It will do the job.

Looks like it's out of the 70's, built like it was too. Extremely happy with this. We've tried everything on our area rugs. 3 pets, all shed like mad. I can't say enough good things about this Vacuum. I tell everyone to get it. Not only does it pull up every last hair. it reconditioned our rugs to look and better yet FEEL like new. MUST have for pet owners. I guarantee you wont be disappointed. Wish I bought this years ago!

Customer support is AMAZING! First, I love the vacuum, we use it in our business. We purchased it about 2 years ago and only recently had an issue with it. I contacted customer service (using the 1-800 number) and they answered right away. They were SO helpful and kind! I'm honestly blown away! I would HIGHLY recommend using this company and their products. We have other Bissell products (carpet cleaners, other vacuums, etc) and they're always amazing quality and durability, but this customer service experience now means 1000% we'll always shop with Bissell FIRST! Thank you!

The vacuum arrived very quickly, easy to assemble, and our dusty carpets are gone, and now we have a well vacuumed showroom floor area.

Good basic vacuum cleaner. Loud. Long cord. Easy empty bag; however, it can be dusty when emptying so recommend emptying the bag outdoors. The handle connections seem a little weak and am afraid they may break eventually. Good vacuum for the price. Being used in a church for daily cleaning.

I bought this vaccum for my little boutique and - oh my - what a disappointment, to not say daily frustration. I don't understand the positive reviews. It spits everything right back out to the point I have to broom after vaccuming, and have now given up on it. And it's extremely noisy. It was a big investment for my little boutique and I am really upset that I cannot return it. Also, beware, this vaccum arrives in small parts and needs to be assembled.
