Sanitaire Force Upright Commercial Vacuum SC5845D,Black

The media could not be loaded. Vacuum works great; this is the second Sanitaire vacuum I have bought. I previously bought a different model for one of my apartment buildings that I manage, loved it and bought this model one for another building. The suction picks up the finest particles of dirt/sand/hair/etc, cord is very long so don't have to go back and forth switching outlets. I use this at a large apartment complex and needed a wide path vacuum. I would recommend this over any expensive commercial vacuum.

Truly an outstanding vacuum. Has great power. Was very surprised, and pleased, with the amount of dirt in the canister after only two uses of cleaning about 1700 sq ft. Cord length, width path, and quiet operation made it very easy to use.Have to disagree with those who say it is hard to empty, at least by my experience. Red button on top removes the canister, one push of a button on top of the canister and a ccw twist and the top comes right off. Lots of dirt, but that is what you want. Easy to clean the dust cup filter, which you will want to do often. I just take it outside, make sure I am upwind, and use a 1' disposable paint brush to clean the filter elements.Have to put it together, not hard but did have an issue. Two screws attach the handle to the body into plastic predrilled holes. One went in easy, the other was a challenge since the hole had not been opened. It was filled with solid plastic. Rather than deal with the aggravation and box it back up I just took a portable screwdriver drill and drilled a pilot hole, then the screw went in.I kept my last Hoover for 25 years before it gave up the ghost. We will see how long this one lasts. That is the true test.

Amazing vacuum!!! Very easy to use, not too heavy, low noise, long cord, very good deal. Only a few complaints, cord tears easily, not good on hardwood floors!! Spits dirt all over!!

I hate this vacuum. I've had it for over a year. It has never had good suction. I have to go over an area several times for it to pick up simple loose crumbs on carpet. It's heavy abd bulky and the twisting to open the canister top to empty it only works with large hands. If it worked well, that wouldn't bother me so much. For the price point this one just doesn't deliver.

Really like the suction power of vacuum and attachment. I wish the cord was retractable and it is a little stubborn opening up the canister to clean. I think with time this will get easier to open.

The vacuum gets clogged way too easily and starts spitting debris. It works well but we are super disappointed we just missed the return window. Will be reaching out to customer support to see if they'll be of any use. It's possible we just got a faulty model, but won't know unless an exchange is offered.In general, it's way too much spent on what is touted as a commercial grade vacuum when it only lasts a few months.

Purchased this for our church and so far we are very pleased with it. It has great suction and the on board accessories are a bonus for a commercial grade vacuum to get in the nooks and crannies. I wouldn't say its very cumbersome or heavy but its not on the lighter side either. I guess its somewhere in the middle. The cleaning ladies at church are very happy with it so its a win win!

Vacuum works fine. No problem at this time.
