TRADITION Upright Commercial Bagged Vacuum, SC684G Red

This is not a lightweight cordless vacuum, but a heavy-duty commercial machine that really does an excellent job on a carpet. The very long cord is very, very handy. It is also not quiet. But the 2-year-old carpet looks and feels like new.

I’ve been a school custodian for 30 years and we have always used Sanitaire uprights simple design, and high-quality gets the job done

Does a great job. Easy to set up. Great long cord.

I work at a golf course with multiple event rooms that need to be vacuumed multiple times per week and we previously owned 2 of the heavy duty, all metal SC886G models until our maintenance man threw them out because they weren't working at the time because he did not realize how cheap the replacement parts cost!! So we had to start over with all new vacuums and I purchased this 1 first to see if there was a noticeable difference between this one (SC684G) and the all metal model (SC886G). The main difference is the hood and power button on the 684G are plastic where the hood and power button are metal on the 886G and at first it didn't seem like a huge difference but it turns out this model is much less durable than the 886G. The switch for the power button stopped working less than 6 weeks after buying it!! I bought a new switch for $10 and changed it myself but I am worried that this vacuum is going to have problems with the power button and electrical switch breaking and needing to be replaced every so often. As soon as it broke, I ordered one of the 886G models. I got lucky and found a refurbished one being sold by Amazon so I paid the same price the 886G that I paid for the 684G but I would have paid full price for a new 886G if the refurbished one wasn't available. I highly recommend spending the extra $80 to get the all metal 886G instead of this 684G.

PROS: This vacuum sucks. Hehe. In reality it seems very well built, metal handle and roller. The cable is thick and very long. It is probably the strongest vacuum I've used; I've used commercial vacuums in my work. Hopefully it doesn't crap out. If you need something to clean carpet, this is it. Seems like it's built to last. CONS It is heavy compared to it's modern counterparts, taking it up and down stairs might be hard for some people. It won't fit under a table or couch, no attachments or hoses for corners, but the suction is great. It's pretty loud, so if you live in an apartment it's probably best to use it during the day.

Amazing value for how good the thing works. People that are saying how good the suction is are very correct. I have never felt a vacuum this powerful. Highly recommend.

WOW !!! What a Powerhouse Vacuum.... this thing really grabs the debris.. I Like it... and the price was lowered for Black Friday.. all the Better...

The refurbished product arrived one day late. There were mounting bolts which were missing and cheap plastic parts that broke upon installation I was offered a pittance for accepting the defects. This product was not worth keeping even at a discount. It is labeled commercial. The label should actually say children’s toy. The housing was made of plastic. I would run away from this product instead of buying. Please note that I did not even operate the unit, but I could tell it was very substandard upon assembly.

Still working after a few months of heavy use in a store with high traffic. Not bad at all

Its a vacumm cleaner . What do you mean what did I use it for ? I baked a cake.
