I also have a couple of Sanitaire vacuums and they are phenomenal. So when I ordered the Sanitaire Force Commercial Upright bagless vacuum, I expected another hit. Unfortunately, this model did not meet my expectations and even disappointed me. The main issue I have with this vacuum is how incredibly heavy it is. I'm a fairly healthy person, and yet this vacuum is so cumbersome to lug it from place to place that it ends up sitting in a corner and not being used. This is doubly important to my 65 year old mother who tried to use it. Weight aside, it's still just a mediocre vacuum cleaner. The suction power seems to be a bit lower than all other models of this brand that I own. The suction power is ok, but I expected a little more from it. However, it does a few things well. The hose in the kit is long and flexible. This makes using extra brushes or a crevice tool easy and convenient. This model is also bagless which is a big plus in my book as I hate worrying about whether or not it's time to replace the bag in my vacuum. In general, the design is not bad, except for the weight. Verdict: Too heavy to be useful, carrying it between floors becomes a tiring task. At this price point I feel like you could get more bang for your buck with another vacuum, it just didn't make me as excited about the brand as my other vacuums have been of it.
