Review on The Mighty Sanitaire Tradition SC889B: Ultimate Commercial Upright Vacuum by Brian West

Bissell / Sanitaire vacuum cleaners have always impressed me. The Sanitaire line is mainly intended for commercial vacuum cleaners for large areas. So you have powerful motors that produce powerful suction. This is my second Sanitaire and the second one is still working very well. My house is quite big so it's best to keep the vacuum cleaner on the lower level. I have 2 Siberian Huskies. wool. And carpet. This vacuum cleaner has a 50ft cord so it can work long distances. Unlike some Sanitaire vacuums, this one uses disposable bags, which I like a little more than reusable bags that need to be emptied. (It uses Sanitaire ST or compatible bags.) The vacuum weighs about 23 pounds, so it's not a vacuum you'll want to carry for long distances. It has an average volume (about the same as that of an average TV). It has a 2 speed motor so you don't need full speed if you do a lot of cleaning. Unless it's the whole Siberian Husky thing. Given the vacuum's weight, it's designed for long, straight trips over carpet. Not the little 5 foot passes that a lot of people make. Because it's heavier, it's not as maneuverable as my old Dyson, so I ride it back and forth as straight as I can. This is how I get the best results with the least amount of effort. And the carpet looks professionally cleaned afterwards. In terms of attractiveness, it's not that attractive. It's an old school vacuum cleaner, just like my mother's. It works and it works pretty well. I was happy with that. It cleans carpets and removes dog hair as well or better than my old Dyson vacuum which looks great but isn't as powerful as this one. Overall this is not a cheap vacuum but it is very well made and works very well. Much better than most cheaper similar looking vacuums you'll find around here. I haven't had any problems with my Sanitaire vacuums so can't say much about their customer service but I really like them.
