I know a lot of carpet cleaners use the Sebo BS36.

but what other vac cleaners are being used, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

[Straker Cleaning]

I use BS36 for offices and the Dart for domestic jobs 

Do have a backpack for curtains when up and down steps 

Use Hunter vacuums on upholstery & mattresses ............ try to use and advertise the fact you use Hepa filters

bs46 on commercial. Kirby (bargain on ebay) on domestic (best vacuum cleaner on the planet)... and heaviest

Sebo BS36 good but I tend to use the dart 2 more now as its more agile ,but not as robust as the bs36.

Joe all the makes mentioned above are good including the Nilfisk GU350A which I put in my residential homes. I Believe the new Oreck is pretty good too. Basically any twin motored vac that has a decent beater bar will do.

what the hell is a vacuum cleaner

Now Now Colin, lets not start that old chestnut again.

Thanks guys - just being nosey as to what others use.
I have the Sebo BS36, and the Hunter hand held.
I have a Sebo Felix for our own home, I understand the Dart 2 is a wider head, but the bags are smaller then the BS36 are'nt they.

Notice one person had the Kirby. I would have thought for a large area that would be pretty good.

In the domestic cleaning side of the business have had an Oreck XL but that was noisey - highs rpm.
Hav'nt seen/worked the "new" commercial Orecks. Anyone?

[*paul_moss]

I use the Dart 2 most these days,Its bigger than the felix Joe in trms of the motorised head only.
I used to use the little hunters on mattresses but now use a Filter queen which is no comparrison.
On suites I use filter queen again with turbo head.

We have Darts and BS36's, I was using one of the 36's today, its nice not to have to bend over all of the time when sucking out the edges.    Must be getting old.

[*paul_moss]

Spencer thats a big plus as well as the larger bag it holds compared to the dart. The only annoyance is that I have a cloth bag for the bs36 but they wount produce one for the dart 

[Joe H]

Spencer - you're just a young whipper snapper still!

[spencer davies]

Thanks Joe, thats the best compliment I have had all day    Paul, get the missus to run one up for you on her sewing machine

[spencer davies]
