For commercial vacuums, do a commercial test. Much of what you do does not really apply to a commercial application. Should have used paper clips and pennies for larger item pickups. Also, think about repairs and maintenance. The classic Sanitaire is easily repaired and parts are cheap. You can replace the roller brushes, or just the bearings, etc. This is one big reason why you'll still see a ton of these vacuums in buildings. The large debris kickback is not a huge issue for commercial cleaners. Most of us don't use uprights for hard floors, we use backpack vacuums or dust mops or autoscrubbers. You're using the same tests for commercial as you do for residential cleaning and they are not the same. Not many of us use a hose with tools, it is not efficient in the least.
Problem with "commercial tests" is it depends on the commercial application. Sure paper clips & pennies would be good for offices, schools, or a bank maybe. But what about a hotel, where there's a lot of grime, loose garbage, and bits of paper?
@@L44tsmasher735 same as a school. Most schools operate Sanitaire because of these objects, and can take a beating. They are great on carpet, especially residential carpet. Commercially, you want that big fan to quickly pick objects off the carpet, and if you add a magnet strip on the leading edge, it's only enemy becomes rocks, coins or similar non-magnetic objects
We use the Oreck for our daily commercial cleaning needs and it's done wonders. It's been so great because we have to continuously move from home to home, load and unload our truck, and carry it around the homes. The lightweight has been really good on our back and shoulders. I highly recommend it. Hoover hush tone looks great but too heavy to lug around. I have the red Sanitaire one as well, it's great but heavy. The Proteam vacuum died after a few years while the rest are still going strong.
I have a Santanaire SC-887 which I found discarded this model had the dirt trap/half bag. It was in pretty good condition, motor communicator was clean, carbon brushes had little wear. I did have to add a new line cord, replace the fan and obtain an adapter to use a HD commercial cloth bag I had. Same time I replaced the handle with a spare one I had. Going a bit further I added a headlight, got a headlight brezel from the business neighbor vacuum store. Still working great to this day.
I have an Oreck XL. Though they might not be the best, they last forever. Mine is 29 years old, never been serviced, original belt and brush roller, still used 4-5 times a week, still works as good as it did 3 decades ago. Its nice that the new ones have a squeegee, mine from 1994 does not and is terrible on hardwood or tile.
I really appreciate the data you guys are collecting and comparing on these machines. It is really interesting and helpful, as I am looking to find a suitable replacement for the 'fleet' of 5 vacuums I've 'inherited' as a facilities director. I have been disappointed by the design, quality, but mostly the RELIABILITY of the PROTEAM XP1500. After the first 3 months of repairing various, repeated issues with each unit, I bought a new one and kept what parts were still worth keeping from the retired one. The beater brush motor failed on the new XP1500 in less than 9 months @ daily use of 1-2 hours on low-pile commercial carpet and entrance mats, and the 'wheels' were leaving black marks down the VCT corridors (not vacuuming, just traveling) by a year and a half. I've found that they are extremely top-heavy and prone to falling over (breaking the handle parts and power switch assy's). The suction path will clog All - The - Time over something as small as a 1/4 piece of a Post-It note. AND the plastic 'wheels' that have no bushings or bearings will wear out regularly and may require replacing the entire lower housing of the vacuum (and wheels) to fix the problem for another year or so. TOO MUCH PLASTIC for commercial use. I expect more reliability for $400 a piece. And I will probably end up spending more on Windsors in the future, since I experienced WAY fewer problems with them (and more hours/day) at a facility where I was previously employed. I would be interested in some long-term testing/cost comparison of these models.
Everytime I look at a sanitare vacuum it brings me back to my childhood of watching my grandmother vacuum with her old 1950s style vacuum she had for YEARs 😂😂, only because they don't make vacuums that style anymore only for commercial use can you get that vintage vacuum look.. I will say the vacuums now a days are more practical for us home users because they are stronger with the suction plus come with 150,000 different attachments which is so useful for spring cleaning and deep dusting all over your home.. How ever at the same time the new vacuums aren't as durable as the sanitare style vacuums of the past and present they made those things to last so for commercial use I can see it being perfect but for home use its probably not going to be as useful do to the lack of attachments which is essential to a good cleaning. 😉
Good commercial vacuums have a separate motor for the vacuum and the brush roll, which is one reason why they are heavy, but they are also one pass vacuums, meaning you use them like mowing the lawn, run in a straight line, not moving it back and forth like a home vacuum. This is one reason training is important to educate the cleaning staff on how to properly use them, when someone complains they are too heavy they are almost always using them wrong. Also surprised you didn't include Advance, back when I was in the business the Advance was always a good selling commercial vacuum, Advance only makes commercial equipment, no home products.
Super weird how different they are compared to the vacuums used all over the world. Like we use attachments to begin with, the hose and a head like these.. and the base unit is separate. Weird how they kept the retro design. I mean I understand in the case of wireless vacuum cleaners (everything is in one place), but these wired ones, I don't know. Why? Americans, tell us!
@@CitarNosis317 Most consumer grade vacuums have attachments and are similar to what you'd be familiar with. These commercial vacuums are meant to be more robust and as a result have less parts to break or lose.
Vacuum Wars see if you can buy a Dyson DC01 off eBay. You may need to also get a power transformer as they were only sold in Europe and therefore only a 240 V version was made.
An old Kirby and an Electrolux from the 1969-1991 Super J generation would be great. They set the standards for performance and build quality in their time.
The thing they ALL HAVE IN COMMON? IS THEY COLLECT DIRT! DIRT DIRT DIRTY! HAHAHAHA! xD THE ONLY THING THAT THING "HITS" IS THE CORNERS THEY BUMP AROUND! I mean bob.
Sanitaire traditional is the only way to go for a real commercial carpet vacuum. The price and ease of repair blow the other options away. Just tilt the nose up to pick up larger objects ya knob. For pulling drywall dust and carpet pieces out of new carpet it's the best by far. The ease and range of adjustments for carpet hight is also way better. The original sanitaire I bought 5 years ago is still going strong. 2 others on this list took shit with heavy use and are not easy to fix. I only run sanitaire now.
i just want to say thank you for making this easy. I've used a sanitaire commercial and found it to be very maintenance heavy. I am looking forward to trying the hoover.
Nice video. I worked in janitorial for a few companies through high school and college. Sanitaire was king at all places i worked. They lasted, were easy to get back in service if you had a problem, and left a beautiful groom job. All of the weight was low so you never really felt it and you typically took a shop vac in to do hard floors and edging so debris wasn't an issue, staples were the main thing you rant to into. I always wondered about that bag though, they would blow dust like the video right after they were emptied.
I agree about the perceived weight in the hand, they really do feel like they’re floating. But, airflow specs aside I’ve never found them to work worth a crap In actually cleaning and picking debris from the carpet in a low pile carpet environment. I’ll chase little pebbles (tracked in from shoes), thread/string, crumbs, you name it. It’ll usually be thrown behind, or just moved around by the brush but never picked up. I’ve done my fair share of tinkering with them trying to get any sort of cleaning performance out of them but it just isn’t worth it when you can get much better machines that will last far longer with less maintenance needs and downtime.
Definitely the Windsor for me as I’ve used them a lot, albeit a Windsor, Sebo, Ensign and others that are Sebos in disguise 🤣. Hoover Hushtone second as its so much like an Electrolux Professional and they are awesome. Lastly a Sanitaire Tradition because I love its look 🥰. Absolutely not a scientific reply from me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People love their Orecks, trust me. Oreck is now owned by TTI, which has caused the quality to drop. Keep an eye out for another vac designed by the Oreck family 😜.
the carpet cleaning company i work for uses the proteam vac and also the clark (which was not tested here) for both residential and commercial cleaning. I personally prefer the Clark because of the tools and ease of use- the Proteam has the vac nozzle on the left side of the machine, and I am right-handed, so it is more awkward for me than the Clark. It also requires along lift to remove, compared to the Clark. I feel like King Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone when I need to use the nozzle. The Clark is also easier to clear a blocked line. The big downside to the Clark is that the brush stalls too easily on a carpet with heavy pile (which is not a concern for commercial carpets).
These tests are not all that appropriate for commercial settings. Lots of commercial accounts (or at least the big ones i.e. Aramark) don’t care much about price, and they normally wouldn’t be picking up very large debris. The main thing they care about is durability - instead of lifting it up the stairs, maybe you should’ve pushed it down them 😂. All that being said, it was a good review for homeowners and I love your channel.
yes the sanitare is 20lbs but its all in the BASE! meaning if your just pushing it on single level carpet the things handle weight of next to nothing is FANTASTIC
Nice competition! The sanitaire tradition can actually get lager stuff off the floor if it snow plows it just lower the Handel half way down and the head should start to come up then after you lift the head up just move the brush roll opening over the pile and then just put the Handel back up and you should be good to go with out get stuff kicked around.
The hotel I work at has had the hush tones for 2 years since it replaced the old Bissell big greens we used to have. Major improvement. The old big greens always had the brushes all clogged up and it was hard to maneuver it.
@@CITYBORNDESERTBRED My local Hoover dealer will not stock them because they are not good machines. If you want a good commercial vac, it's ProTeam, Sebo/Windsor/Karcher or bust. He also complained they couldn't even get vacuum bags for them for 9 months when they first came out.
I know this is a 5yr old video, but I work in a school, and Ive used that Proteam for a long time and I love it. Ive also used the Sanitaire tradition and I hate it, so much so that I would love to feed it into one of those metal shredding crushing machines! That one and the Oreck XL. The Proteam is such an easy and lightweight vacuum to use, and with the hose attachment how its designed is just quick to deploy when you're speed cleaning. Edit to add, the bags that it uses are simple and clean, no mess no fuss. Why the heck would I want to deal with the bag on the Sanitair tradition dumping it out and get dust all in the air. They can take that tradition and dump that whole heavy vacuum in the trash.
At the beginning of the vacuum industry uprights were all very simple direct fan machines that were designed to clean rugs. Attaching attachments was an endeavor and because of their fan design they didn’t perform well with attachments. Canister vacuums were suction only machines with straight suction tools. They excelled at hard floor cleaning but couldn’t beat a rug clean. In 1961 the powernozzle canister appeared on the market. (Electrolux) It improved a canister’s ability to clean rugs but to this day doesn’t equal a direct fan upright’s ability to deep clean a rug down under the rug’s surface. Around the same time Hoover designed the Hoover Dial-a-Matic which was the world’s first clean air upright. Basically a powernozzle canister on a stick they perform averagely on rugs and carpets and well with tools. The Dial-a-Matic didn’t excel as a deep cleaning upright nor did it have the strong suction of a canister. It was also priced like more premium machines that performed very well so the type of vacuum didn’t become popular until decades later when three manufacturers ( Sebo, Electrolux and Regina) joined together to redesign the basic structure of the clean air upright. It wasn’t until the mid 1990s that clean air uprights became popular. The majority of the uprights in this test are clean air upright machines based on the basic design of the Dial-a-Matic and the Prolux is based on the design that sprang from the Sebo, Electrolux partnership. As you can see their ability to deep clean is lower than the cleaning ability of the direct air Sanitaire upright. It’s not an accident that the Sanitaire is designed as it is. It’s designed for a specific use. Consider that it’s a commercial machine. In an office building’s lobby during winter, a carpet can be covered and ground in with sand brought in from outside. In that kind of setting nothing comes close to the thoroughness of cleaning or the speed at which cleaning a section of building than a direct air upright.
You always see the Santiaire being used in retail settings. They would never waste time vacuuming hardfloor as they have special large cleaning/polishing/waxing machines that do that daily. They specifically need it for the carpet areas and it performs perfect there. Vacuuming hardfloor is basically unnecessary anyway. Broom and dust pan and mopping is all it needs.
Like Bruce said they were designed for doing one thing and doing it incredibly well, carpet vacuuming and as you saw in the full length review of the sanitaire it picked up deep embedded dirt and sand after all the others left stuff behind. Just incredible agitation and airflow. A lot of pro carpet cleaners use them for that reason so they get all the deep down dry stuff out of the way before using hot water and chemicals for cleaning.
The Eon is a Stolen design of the Windsor (Sebo) much like the Hoover Insight. If you're going to buy a Chinese made Eon you may as well buy a German made Windsor (Or Sebo) for the same price.
I have 2 hushtones. I initially liked them, but parts break all the time. Handle, Hose, Bottom Plate, Cord, Hose Clip. Replacement parts are expensive and difficult to get.
I sell most of these and the Karcher sensor xp has gone down hill since they got rid of the Windsor division. Sanitaire for the price, quality of the vac motor, and the cost to maintain/repair is my current favorite. I do like the proteam cannister vacs and minute man makes a decent product as well
Regarding the ORECK Xl Commercial Models, They don't ship with the "Bag Dock" adapter, which better secures the bags to the orifice. You can order one online for about $15 and retrofit it to the ORECK XL Commercial. THEN add the ORECK Hepa filter bag (purple in color. Part # AK1CC6H for 6 bags) Those two things increase the ORECK XL2100RHS from $150 to about $185. with those two mods i bet the ORECK would move up a couple positions in the final ranking. It's not the best vacuum, but it's probably the best for Commercial use it you ran a cleaning service. Your need a hand-held or shoulder strap canister to compliment it for crevices, ceiling fans, curtains and blinds, etc. But the weight savings, carrying it around ALL DAY EVERY DAY, make it a clear winner to me. Wear headphones while working, lol
The ProForce vac is the one I use at work (elementary custodian) and it really does well. Until it gets clogged.. which happens rather quickly and easily.
In an instant, yes. Without the slightest hesitation. Why? - Shark vacuums, first of all, are not meant to be repaired. The company doesn't offer replacement parts and generally is doing things I consider to be a no-no. - Dyson vacuums have great SUCTION. What they don't tell you, however, is that SUCTION does nothing to deep clean a carpet compared to AIRFLOW. Also, the Hoover looks cooler. :^)
Upright vacuums are being replaced now with easier to manage backpack units. They're a little more ergonomic and have enough power at the wand end not to require a power brush. In large areas with pew seating (temples, churches, etc.) people also purchase a cart vacuum with a long hose (a glorified central vac on a custodian's cart).
I think it is worth noting that for businesses the price often matters very little since a vacuum that is only a few percents faster at getting the job done will recoup the investment in no time. I think it would make sense to split off the price from the score for vacuums made for commercial use. If you want to go into more detail on price, perhaps try to figure out a way to calculate the price in relation to performance, preferably for each category. If you only need to clean hard floors, for example, the ability to clean carpets is pointless and gives no value in return for the extra investment.
The Oreck XL was the only vacuum cleaner I've ever owned that literally lifts the nap of the rug up, and the brush bar turns at a very high rpm. I've never seen a vacuum cleaner do a better job than an Oreck. That' my opinion anyway.
Same here, my Oreck XL2100 like this one in the video grooms carpet like no other. It do so amazing the first time I used it, that I wanted to see how it would do in two bedrooms of the house that still have the original cheap carpet from 1986 in them. Matted down bad too. And to my astonishment, the damn carpet, which haven't felt a good vacuum in their lives, started standing up...probably the first time they've fluffed at all since the 80's or early 90's. And with the more I vacuum them, they just get better and better looking, the one room almost looks new again, the other room needs a shampooing badly. As for the carpet in the rest of the house which was laid around 2007, it had gone a good 10 years without a good vacuum on it, and the Oreck instantly brought it back to life like nothing. The carpet literally still looks brand new now because of this vacuum.
@@jackoff1826 That should have been a major selling point for the Oreck XL. I never saw another vacuum cleaner lift the nap of a carpet up like the Oreck. As you said, even if the carpet is matted down badly. They still sell them today, I've seen them at Walmart. I only hope their as good as their older one's were.
@@brucegordon7248 mine is the XL2100 from 2017. They should still be the same. The Chinese group of TTI that bought them over a decade ago isn't as bad as some make them out to be as far as quality. Sure, the company might not be what it was when David Oreck was alive and running things. But TTI still build these in America and they also own brands like Milwaukee which are generally seen as the top tier of consumer pro tools. So it's not like they're a junk company.
@@jackoff1826 Very good. I did know that another company bought them, but I didn't know it was the Chinese group TTI. My sister bought one of the later Orecks and she likes it. I'm glad to hear they are built in America and that they are still a good vacuum cleaner. Yes, Milwaukee is a major player in the tool market, and thanks for that information.
Yes, after David Oreck's passing long ago now, his son took over the business and he was no David Oreck and struggled to run things as he didn't have his father's passion (nearly nobody would or does) and he ran the company dry I guess, and that's where TTI bought the company out of bankruptcy I think. So good for TTI to keep the vacuums going. They obviously changed things with the company going from family owned to corporation owned. But overall, the vacuums are still good I think and the latest one I have is amazing to me. And to clarify, the vacuums have parts made in China and they're put together in America. It's almost about as American made as anything comes these days unfortunately. I went out trying to buy tools American made, or at minimum anti China made....that was a crazy hard challenge to find tools made here or even not made in China. I hope this country gets wise with manufacturing issues if there's a crisis again. Hate seeing us rely on other countries to produce for us.
I actually have one of the original Workhorses, back when it was called the Amway CMS1000. It worked GREAT for about 15 years, but is starting to show its age, certain plastics are deteriorating, and it doesn't seem to have the suction it used to, it was stronger than the original Hoover windtunnel, now it's only half that at the hose. I might try taking it apart sometime soon and see if there are any other filters besides the one in the rear cassette drawer and give the motor a freshen up with a resurfaced commutator and new brushes
We use Oreck and Cleanmax vacuums. Both of their quality has greatly decreased over the past 10 years. Oreck is good only because it is a very simple vacuum and weighs a little over 8 lbs. Very disappointed in the how the Cleanmax Zoom, which use to be my favorite vacuum, now has brittle plastic parts and damages / breaks down so easily. I hope Cleanmax gets their act together and starts make quality vacuums again.
being pedantic, but would also say an extremely important definer of commercial vacuums is they tend to be very bare bones straightforward. You will rarely see them sporting any of the new tricks consumer vacuums often use, and they are designed to have larger, albeit more difficult to replace bags. They weigh a lot more, and in general are far less apologetic for being user unfriendly beyond ease of repair. They are designed to be tough and last, and easy to fix when they do need a new belt. They don't fuss over being feather weight, easy to store and taking a second to empty.
Have you compared the winner of this with your favorite upright vacuum? The shark one? I have a yellow lab that sheds like crazy and a cat in the house not to mention 4 kids. Just bought the bissell pro heat carpet cleaner now need to get a better stronger vacuum.
I guess the best thing to do is stick with Shark & just keep buying replacement parts. Problem is, I just bought one about 6 months ago & they don’t sell a replacement head. Thanks for this video!!
The sanitaire sweeps the floor in the airflow department (pun intended) with a hepa bag version instead of a shakeout version the filtration is greatly improved at least. I have really come to love direct air vacuums in the last year. I’m still tempted by a Windsor I think that is a good al around mix of everything, as evidenced by its middle of the pack final score. Hoover hushtone is sort of a clone of the Windsor if I remember correctly. Been waiting for this video great stuff!
In my opinion, if you have mostly carpet throughout your home, the Sanitaire would be the way to go. It would be best to use HEPA disposable bags, yeah, unless you don't have any problems with allergies or simply like the shake-out bag. Commercial environments probably wouldn't matter too much, but it would in the home. I really like that Hoover Hushtone and had do doubts about it scoring the best overall. I, myself, own a Kirby Diamond Edition, a Royal all-metal upright and a vintage Kirby from 1959.
Matt Jones I love my vintage hoover convertible, it’s hard to find such a well built machine these days. You just can’t beat the airflow of a direct air motor. I need to make more vacuum videos it’s been a while. This is what I use weekly now. ruclips.net/video/fC6a095_X18/видео.html
@@DIYDad1 You're right, man, you really can't beat those old machines. They were the best for carpet. I have mostly hardwood, tile and vinyl, but I have area rugs in each room. I toggle between my two Kirbys because they're multipurpose for all flooring types. I love my vintage Kirby, because it is lighter and easier to use than my other two vacuums. I did convert it to using HEPA filtration, but I decided to return it to it's regular form when I last serviced it. I like having one machine where you can dump out the dirt.
I have a fitness center/gym and I have 2000 ft.² of artificial turf it’s almost like plastic. there is a very tight woven short turf and then there’s long-haired turf as well I was looking at the Clark carpet master 215 I was wondering if you thought the extra $200 is worth it for the clarke over the Hoover Hushtone… The machine im buying cannot be a light commercial unit it Has to last me.. So the question is do you have experience with the Clark carpet master 215 and if you do worth spending more than $200 over the price tag over the Hoover or do I just stick with the Hoover
I am interested to see how any of these vacuum stack being used in a climbing gym. I can speak for many of the gyms and we go through vacuums almost 1 every 6 months (no joke). We are rurrently rotating 3 units of a Sebo upright but it is slowly comining to its terms.
If you ever do this test again, could you do a test of embedded fine grit like ground sand or asphalt dust, or does the dust emmissions test take care of this?
I use an Oreck XL on my rugs and some floors on a daily basis along with a Eureka Mighty Mite (which you have to test) on my floors, stairs and upholstery. However I find it necessary to use my Kirby and my Electrolux (Aerus type) at least every two weeks to certain that everything is cleaned thoroughly.
The ProTeam Proforce is more than adequate at picking up small debris on rugs, but in normal use one does have to lift it at an angle and drop it down over the debris. I use this one all day as a custodian and it's not really an issue.
I used to break fan blades by accidentally picking a quarter or pebble and it would hit the fan blade and boom, a repair charge. Don't you think it would be important to tell what kind of air path these have, or do they all pass or bypass the intake they the blade turbine area? I know, may be a dumb question but I at least would like to know :) Thank you for putting these videos together,mi know how hard it is to do them. Thumbs up!
The only problem I have with the sanitare is changing the belt and the roller bar when I have to change either one I just go buy a new machine with my arthritis it's just about impossible thank God they make them so good I only had to change the belt every 3 years

AND the plastic 'wheels' that have no bushings or bearings will wear out regularly and may require replacing the entire lower housing of the vacuum (and wheels) to fix the problem for another year or so. TOO MUCH PLASTIC for commercial use.
I expect more reliability for $400 a piece. And I will probably end up spending more on Windsors in the future, since I experienced WAY fewer problems with them (and more hours/day) at a facility where I was previously employed.
I would be interested in some long-term testing/cost comparison of these models.
We have the Windsor ones at my work and I love them! So much better than all the other commercial vacuums we’ve had
I love the Sanitaire Quiet Clean. I use it on the job, and would buy it for my personal use.

Dual motors doesn't have much to do with one pass cleaning. They are better since they can turn the brush roll off for bare floors.

@@CitarNosis317 Most consumer grade vacuums have attachments and are similar to what you'd be familiar with. These commercial vacuums are meant to be more robust and as a result have less parts to break or lose.
The old school looks is so replacement parts are still in stock. These tanks can lasts decades with minimum part exchanges.
The older machines are heavier and have less features but do a much better job at cleaning and are built like tanks.
I see that Hoover everywhere. Every building I’ve ever worked in.
The Sanitaire is the best, nothing can beat it no matter what ppl say
you should make a video on testing a vintage vacuum.That would be cool
Good idea! Thanks!
Vacuum Wars see if you can buy a Dyson DC01 off eBay.
You may need to also get a power transformer as they were only sold in Europe and therefore only a 240 V version was made.
An old Kirby and an Electrolux from the 1969-1991 Super J generation would be great. They set the standards for performance and build quality in their time.
Bruce Solomon I see a lot of old Kirby vacuums (1970-1990) on Craigslist a lot. They aren’t that expensive.
@@VacuumWars video idea, direct air vacuums vs battle, sanitaire va kirby
I bought my proteam because of your review and I love it still today.
Great to hear!
É o melhor trabalhei muito com ele .
Oreck XL is light, a piece of cake to service, and picks carpet up very good.
Nice! That is great to hear!
I currently own the hoover hushtone had it for about 2 years now works great
Great to hear that!
The reason why the Sanitaire didn’t pass the filteration test was because it had a shakeout bag. Sanitaire does make another version with hepa bags.
The thing they ALL HAVE IN COMMON? IS THEY COLLECT DIRT! DIRT DIRT DIRTY! HAHAHAHA! xD THE ONLY THING THAT THING "HITS" IS THE CORNERS THEY BUMP AROUND! I mean bob.
Sanitaire traditional is the only way to go for a real commercial carpet vacuum. The price and ease of repair blow the other options away. Just tilt the nose up to pick up larger objects ya knob. For pulling drywall dust and carpet pieces out of new carpet it's the best by far. The ease and range of adjustments for carpet hight is also way better.
The original sanitaire I bought 5 years ago is still going strong. 2 others on this list took shit with heavy use and are not easy to fix. I only run sanitaire now.
i just want to say thank you for making this easy. I've used a sanitaire commercial and found it to be very maintenance heavy. I am looking forward to trying the hoover.
you are welcome. I hope you are happy with it!
I’ve always loved Oreck
Nice video. I worked in janitorial for a few companies through high school and college. Sanitaire was king at all places i worked. They lasted, were easy to get back in service if you had a problem, and left a beautiful groom job. All of the weight was low so you never really felt it and you typically took a shop vac in to do hard floors and edging so debris wasn't an issue, staples were the main thing you rant to into. I always wondered about that bag though, they would blow dust like the video right after they were emptied.
I agree about the perceived weight in the hand, they really do feel like they’re floating.
But, airflow specs aside I’ve never found them to work worth a crap In actually cleaning and picking debris from the carpet in a low pile carpet environment. I’ll chase little pebbles (tracked in from shoes), thread/string, crumbs, you name it. It’ll usually be thrown behind, or just moved around by the brush but never picked up.
I’ve done my fair share of tinkering with them trying to get any sort of cleaning performance out of them but it just isn’t worth it when you can get much better machines that will last far longer with less maintenance needs and downtime.
They are no longer made to last. Plus, their beater bar of a roller and brush strip setup is poor, and the belt drive is just beyond outdated.
Definitely the Windsor for me as I’ve used them a lot, albeit a Windsor, Sebo, Ensign and others that are Sebos in disguise 🤣. Hoover Hushtone second as its so much like an Electrolux Professional and they are awesome. Lastly a Sanitaire Tradition because I love its look 🥰. Absolutely not a scientific reply from me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn! An ORECK!
Maybe I"m out of the vacuum loop, but it's been a LONG long time since I've seen or even thought of Oreck.
A friend of mine bought one about 5 years ago and is satisfied with it.
I had a refurbished Oreck for years....it was flawless.
People love their Orecks, trust me. Oreck is now owned by TTI, which has caused the quality to drop. Keep an eye out for another vac designed by the Oreck family 😜.
Orecks are great. The whole TTI thing isn't that big of a deal, TTI owns Milwaukee tools as well and they're known as like the best brand of tools.
I use the Windsor at work every day. I wouldn't want to use anything else. Going from that to a store bought vaccuum is quite a shock.
the carpet cleaning company i work for uses the proteam vac and also the clark (which was not tested here) for both residential and commercial cleaning. I personally prefer the Clark because of the tools and ease of use- the Proteam has the vac nozzle on the left side of the machine, and I am right-handed, so it is more awkward for me than the Clark. It also requires along lift to remove, compared to the Clark. I feel like King Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone when I need to use the nozzle. The Clark is also easier to clear a blocked line. The big downside to the Clark is that the brush stalls too easily on a carpet with heavy pile (which is not a concern for commercial carpets).
Great input! Thank you!
These tests are not all that appropriate for commercial settings. Lots of commercial accounts (or at least the big ones i.e. Aramark) don’t care much about price, and they normally wouldn’t be picking up very large debris. The main thing they care about is durability - instead of lifting it up the stairs, maybe you should’ve pushed it down them 😂. All that being said, it was a good review for homeowners and I love your channel.
yes the sanitare is 20lbs but its all in the BASE! meaning if your just pushing it on single level carpet the things handle weight of next to nothing is FANTASTIC
Nice competition! The sanitaire tradition can actually get lager stuff off the floor if it snow plows it just lower the Handel half way down and the head should start to come up then after you lift the head up just move the brush roll opening over the pile and then just put the Handel back up and you should be good to go with out get stuff kicked around.
The hotel I work at has had the hush tones for 2 years since it replaced the old Bissell big greens we used to have. Major improvement. The old big greens always had the brushes all clogged up and it was hard to maneuver it.
Oscar how are those Hushtones running? Have you been able to get parts pretty reliably?
@@CITYBORNDESERTBRED My local Hoover dealer will not stock them because they are not good machines. If you want a good commercial vac, it's ProTeam, Sebo/Windsor/Karcher or bust.
He also complained they couldn't even get vacuum bags for them for 9 months when they first came out.
I know this is a 5yr old video, but I work in a school, and Ive used that Proteam for a long time and I love it. Ive also used the Sanitaire tradition and I hate it, so much so that I would love to feed it into one of those metal shredding crushing machines! That one and the Oreck XL.
The Proteam is such an easy and lightweight vacuum to use, and with the hose attachment how its designed is just quick to deploy when you're speed cleaning. Edit to add, the bags that it uses are simple and clean, no mess no fuss. Why the heck would I want to deal with the bag on the Sanitair tradition dumping it out and get dust all in the air. They can take that tradition and dump that whole heavy vacuum in the trash.
Throwing out price, Windsor the best vacuum on the market and the best design.
My favorite would be the Sanitare, for one is it is very easy to work on if something goes wrong at 3 AM. It is simple to use and to fix
The fact that some of these can't be used on hard floors completely blew me away. Who designed that?!?
At the beginning of the vacuum industry uprights were all very simple direct fan machines that were designed to clean rugs. Attaching attachments was an endeavor and because of their fan design they didn’t perform well with attachments. Canister vacuums were suction only machines with straight suction tools. They excelled at hard floor cleaning but couldn’t beat a rug clean. In 1961 the powernozzle canister appeared on the market. (Electrolux) It improved a canister’s ability to clean rugs but to this day doesn’t equal a direct fan upright’s ability to deep clean a rug down under the rug’s surface. Around the same time Hoover designed the Hoover Dial-a-Matic which was the world’s first clean air upright. Basically a powernozzle canister on a stick they perform averagely on rugs and carpets and well with tools. The Dial-a-Matic didn’t excel as a deep cleaning upright nor did it have the strong suction of a canister. It was also priced like more premium machines that performed very well so the type of vacuum didn’t become popular until decades later when three manufacturers ( Sebo, Electrolux and Regina) joined together to redesign the basic structure of the clean air upright. It wasn’t until the mid 1990s that clean air uprights became popular.
The majority of the uprights in this test are clean air upright machines based on the basic design of the Dial-a-Matic and the Prolux is based on the design that sprang from the Sebo, Electrolux partnership. As you can see their ability to deep clean is lower than the cleaning ability of the direct air Sanitaire upright.
It’s not an accident that the Sanitaire is designed as it is. It’s designed for a specific use. Consider that it’s a commercial machine. In an office building’s lobby during winter, a carpet can be covered and ground in with sand brought in from outside. In that kind of setting nothing comes close to the thoroughness of cleaning or the speed at which cleaning a section of building than a direct air upright.
@@LlyleHunter damn that's interesting, thanks!
You always see the Santiaire being used in retail settings. They would never waste time vacuuming hardfloor as they have special large cleaning/polishing/waxing machines that do that daily. They specifically need it for the carpet areas and it performs perfect there. Vacuuming hardfloor is basically unnecessary anyway. Broom and dust pan and mopping is all it needs.
Like Bruce said they were designed for doing one thing and doing it incredibly well, carpet vacuuming and as you saw in the full length review of the sanitaire it picked up deep embedded dirt and sand after all the others left stuff behind. Just incredible agitation and airflow. A lot of pro carpet cleaners use them for that reason so they get all the deep down dry stuff out of the way before using hot water and chemicals for cleaning.
The Eon is a Stolen design of the Windsor (Sebo) much like the Hoover Insight.
If you're going to buy a Chinese made Eon you may as well buy a German made Windsor (Or Sebo) for the same price.
I have 2 hushtones. I initially liked them, but parts break all the time. Handle, Hose, Bottom Plate, Cord, Hose Clip. Replacement parts are expensive and difficult to get.
Those sanitaire vacuum cleaners are really good carpet cleaners.
I have a c2094, works pretty well
Vaccum wars,
Dam, you don't mess around on your tests! This was an hardcore real world test! Hoover hushtone it is.
Thanks!!
I sell most of these and the Karcher sensor xp has gone down hill since they got rid of the Windsor division. Sanitaire for the price, quality of the vac motor, and the cost to maintain/repair is my current favorite. I do like the proteam cannister vacs and minute man makes a decent product as well
i love the Oreck XL
I've been looking at vacuums for awhile. You just sold me on the Hoover.
More Oreck reviews please. You should do a “Best lightweight vacuums”....thanks for your great reviews
Would be nice to see how well they vacuum on wall edges, from that corner where the carpet and dirt is so hard to get to. I didn't see that here.
I love vacuum wars I think you do a good job with your vaccums keeping them clean
Sanitaire commercial will outlast them ALL i know for a fact. Tool free maintenance and you can replace any part for really cheap.
Regarding the ORECK Xl Commercial Models,
They don't ship with the "Bag Dock" adapter, which better secures the bags to the orifice.
You can order one online for about $15 and retrofit it to the ORECK XL Commercial.
THEN add the ORECK Hepa filter bag (purple in color. Part # AK1CC6H for 6 bags)
Those two things increase the ORECK XL2100RHS from $150 to about $185.
with those two mods i bet the ORECK would move up a couple positions in the final ranking. It's not the best vacuum, but it's probably the best for Commercial use it you ran a cleaning service. Your need a hand-held or shoulder strap canister to compliment it for crevices, ceiling fans, curtains and blinds, etc. But the weight savings, carrying it around ALL DAY EVERY DAY, make it a clear winner to me.
Wear headphones while working, lol
great tips. Thanks!
The ProForce vac is the one I use at work (elementary custodian) and it really does well. Until it gets clogged.. which happens rather quickly and easily.
I will go with CFM over attached hose anyday.
I like the hoover hushtone
I wonder how a Kirby sentria would do against these as that's what I own now
So would you pick the Hoover Hushtone over the Dyson V11 & Shark Apex DuoClean (AZ1002) if you could have ONLY 1? Be honest!
I'd also like an answer to this
In an instant, yes. Without the slightest hesitation. Why?
- Shark vacuums, first of all, are not meant to be repaired. The company doesn't offer replacement parts and generally is doing things I consider to be a no-no.
- Dyson vacuums have great SUCTION. What they don't tell you, however, is that SUCTION does nothing to deep clean a carpet compared to AIRFLOW. Also, the Hoover looks cooler. :^)
I know this is an older video ‘ but was helpful in finding a serviceable home vacuum.
Upright vacuums are being replaced now with easier to manage backpack units. They're a little more ergonomic and have enough power at the wand end not to require a power brush. In large areas with pew seating (temples, churches, etc.) people also purchase a cart vacuum with a long hose (a glorified central vac on a custodian's cart).
Backpacks are for use on hard floors mostly. Without a brush roll you cant really pick up debris on carpet unless its really low pile
All I use is ORECK
I think it is worth noting that for businesses the price often matters very little since a vacuum that is only a few percents faster at getting the job done will recoup the investment in no time. I think it would make sense to split off the price from the score for vacuums made for commercial use. If you want to go into more detail on price, perhaps try to figure out a way to calculate the price in relation to performance, preferably for each category. If you only need to clean hard floors, for example, the ability to clean carpets is pointless and gives no value in return for the extra investment.
Hoover hush tone seems to be the best
But with the Windsor you'll get every bang for your buck. Because they're built to last.
The Oreck XL was the only vacuum cleaner I've ever owned that literally lifts the nap of the rug up, and the brush bar turns at a very high rpm. I've never seen a vacuum cleaner do a better job than an Oreck. That' my opinion anyway.
Same here, my Oreck XL2100 like this one in the video grooms carpet like no other. It do so amazing the first time I used it, that I wanted to see how it would do in two bedrooms of the house that still have the original cheap carpet from 1986 in them. Matted down bad too. And to my astonishment, the damn carpet, which haven't felt a good vacuum in their lives, started standing up...probably the first time they've fluffed at all since the 80's or early 90's. And with the more I vacuum them, they just get better and better looking, the one room almost looks new again, the other room needs a shampooing badly. As for the carpet in the rest of the house which was laid around 2007, it had gone a good 10 years without a good vacuum on it, and the Oreck instantly brought it back to life like nothing. The carpet literally still looks brand new now because of this vacuum.
@@jackoff1826 That should have been a major selling point for the Oreck XL. I never saw another vacuum cleaner lift the nap of a carpet up like the Oreck. As you said, even if the carpet is matted down badly. They still sell them today, I've seen them at Walmart. I only hope their as good as their older one's were.
@@brucegordon7248 mine is the XL2100 from 2017. They should still be the same. The Chinese group of TTI that bought them over a decade ago isn't as bad as some make them out to be as far as quality. Sure, the company might not be what it was when David Oreck was alive and running things. But TTI still build these in America and they also own brands like Milwaukee which are generally seen as the top tier of consumer pro tools. So it's not like they're a junk company.
@@jackoff1826 Very good. I did know that another company bought them, but I didn't know it was the Chinese group TTI. My sister bought one of the later Orecks and she likes it. I'm glad to hear they are built in America and that they are still a good vacuum cleaner. Yes, Milwaukee is a major player in the tool market, and thanks for that information.
Yes, after David Oreck's passing long ago now, his son took over the business and he was no David Oreck and struggled to run things as he didn't have his father's passion (nearly nobody would or does) and he ran the company dry I guess, and that's where TTI bought the company out of bankruptcy I think. So good for TTI to keep the vacuums going. They obviously changed things with the company going from family owned to corporation owned. But overall, the vacuums are still good I think and the latest one I have is amazing to me.
And to clarify, the vacuums have parts made in China
and they're put together in America. It's almost about as American made as anything comes these days unfortunately. I went out trying to buy tools American made, or at minimum anti China made....that was a crazy hard challenge to find tools made here or even not made in China. I hope this country gets wise with manufacturing issues if there's a crisis again. Hate seeing us rely on other countries to produce for us.
Give me the Windsor all day aka Sebo best vaccum ever.
I’ve seen a lot of videos on the workhorse (think that is what it’s called) and it looks amazing! 😊
It’s a re-branded Dyson DC01
I actually have one of the original Workhorses, back when it was called the Amway CMS1000. It worked GREAT for about 15 years, but is starting to show its age, certain plastics are deteriorating, and it doesn't seem to have the suction it used to, it was stronger than the original Hoover windtunnel, now it's only half that at the hose. I might try taking it apart sometime soon and see if there are any other filters besides the one in the rear cassette drawer and give the motor a freshen up with a resurfaced commutator and new brushes
Confession; I'm just here to see those lines that vacuums leave in high pile carpeting. Idk why but that's so satisfying to me lol
@Lemonsplash lol, thanks for the recommendation
@Lemonsplash great recommendation! I'd be so happy doing that job all day lol. Thanks!
We use Oreck and Cleanmax vacuums. Both of their quality has greatly decreased over the past 10 years. Oreck is good only because it is a very simple vacuum and weighs a little over 8 lbs. Very disappointed in the how the Cleanmax Zoom, which use to be my favorite vacuum, now has brittle plastic parts and damages / breaks down so easily. I hope Cleanmax gets their act together and starts make quality vacuums again.
My choices would be windsor or oreck
Oreck is probably great for most basic hotels but Windsor in a fancy hotel
Can you review the Bissell BigGreen Pro PowerForce Bagged Upright commercial vacuum? Thanks!
Love your videos😸
being pedantic, but would also say an extremely important definer of commercial vacuums is they tend to be very bare bones straightforward. You will rarely see them sporting any of the new tricks consumer vacuums often use, and they are designed to have larger, albeit more difficult to replace bags. They weigh a lot more, and in general are far less apologetic for being user unfriendly beyond ease of repair. They are designed to be tough and last, and easy to fix when they do need a new belt. They don't fuss over being feather weight, easy to store and taking a second to empty.
Have you compared the winner of this with your favorite upright vacuum? The shark one? I have a yellow lab that sheds like crazy and a cat in the house not to mention 4 kids. Just bought the bissell pro heat carpet cleaner now need to get a better stronger vacuum.
What about vacuum cleaners from the 1980's 1970's and so on
We don't see ourselves going retro any time soon but we agree that would be fun!
I guess the best thing to do is stick with Shark & just keep buying replacement parts. Problem is, I just bought one about 6 months ago & they don’t sell a replacement head.
Thanks for this video!!
Great review and testing.
Thank you!
Could you check out the Bissell Big Green Pro Bagged Powerforce?
Proteam Pro Force sounds like a Gym squad
If you can at some point test the “workhorse” vacuum vs the sanitare would be great
The sanitaire sweeps the floor in the airflow department (pun intended) with a hepa bag version instead of a shakeout version the filtration is greatly improved at least. I have really come to love direct air vacuums in the last year. I’m still tempted by a Windsor I think that is a good al around mix of everything, as evidenced by its middle of the pack final score. Hoover hushtone is sort of a clone of the Windsor if I remember correctly. Been waiting for this video great stuff!
In my opinion, if you have mostly carpet throughout your home, the Sanitaire would be the way to go. It would be best to use HEPA disposable bags, yeah, unless you don't have any problems with allergies or simply like the shake-out bag. Commercial environments probably wouldn't matter too much, but it would in the home. I really like that Hoover Hushtone and had do doubts about it scoring the best overall. I, myself, own a Kirby Diamond Edition, a Royal all-metal upright and a vintage Kirby from 1959.
Matt Jones I love my vintage hoover convertible, it’s hard to find such a well built machine these days. You just can’t beat the airflow of a direct air motor. I need to make more vacuum videos it’s been a while. This is what I use weekly now. ruclips.net/video/fC6a095_X18/видео.html
@@DIYDad1 You're right, man, you really can't beat those old machines. They were the best for carpet. I have mostly hardwood, tile and vinyl, but I have area rugs in each room. I toggle between my two Kirbys because they're multipurpose for all flooring types. I love my vintage Kirby, because it is lighter and easier to use than my other two vacuums. I did convert it to using HEPA filtration, but I decided to return it to it's regular form when I last serviced it. I like having one machine where you can dump out the dirt.
Pro team freeflex review please
I have a fitness center/gym and I have 2000 ft.² of artificial turf it’s almost like plastic. there is a very tight woven short turf and then there’s long-haired turf as well I was looking at the Clark carpet master 215 I was wondering if you thought the extra $200 is worth it for the clarke over the Hoover Hushtone… The machine im buying cannot be a light commercial unit it Has to last me.. So the question is do you have experience with the Clark carpet master 215 and if you do worth spending more than $200 over the price tag over the Hoover or do I just stick with the Hoover
Out of the Windsor and the proteam to buy which one would you pick
great review. you killed it my bwah
I find myself praising this algorithm... only a bit tho. 🧐👌
Awesome! Would love to see more robot vacuum videos and perhaps videos about robot vacuum news and rumors!
I am interested to see how any of these vacuum stack being used in a climbing gym. I can speak for many of the gyms and we go through vacuums almost 1 every 6 months (no joke). We are rurrently rotating 3 units of a Sebo upright but it is slowly comining to its terms.
Why did you change the numbers for the Sanitaire Eon? Your test video reflects totally different numbers.
The hushtone looks like a kids toy
If you ever do this test again, could you do a test of embedded fine grit like ground sand or asphalt dust, or does the dust emmissions test take care of this?
What about the hushtone cordless
My best one is the oreck
I like the idea of Orecks, I think Im going to buy one of their top of the line models to test.
Vacuum Wars my favorite is bissell powerforce helix turbo rewind
I use an Oreck XL on my rugs and some floors on a daily basis along with a Eureka Mighty Mite (which you have to test) on my floors, stairs and upholstery. However I find it necessary to use my Kirby and my Electrolux (Aerus type) at least every two weeks to certain that everything is cleaned thoroughly.
The ProTeam Proforce is more than adequate at picking up small debris on rugs, but in normal use one does have to lift it at an angle and drop it down over the debris. I use this one all day as a custodian and it's not really an issue.
Have you reviewed the workhorse?
I do wonder how backpack vacuums would compare to the commercial uprights
I used to break fan blades by accidentally picking a quarter or pebble and it would hit the fan blade and boom, a repair charge. Don't you think it would be important to tell what kind of air path these have, or do they all pass or bypass the intake they the blade turbine area? I know, may be a dumb question but I at least would like to know :) Thank you for putting these videos together,mi know how hard it is to do them. Thumbs up!
Oreck and Sanitaire tradition are direct-air. The others are pass/bypass machines.
Awesome video
Thank you!
The only problem I have with the sanitare is changing the belt and the roller bar when I have to change either one I just go buy a new machine with my arthritis it's just about impossible thank God they make them so good I only had to change the belt every 3 years
Old school
What about the Dyson and shark?
I need a dust filter for a Hoover Max Extract® 60 Pressure Pro
Which one is the best one for deep cleaning
The Sanitaire EON did not pass the filtration test in this video but it did pass the filtration test in its on video. Please explain?
Thank you so much for your research.
My pleasure!
