Yes Kent makes Carpet Shampooers. Like the Kent Express. This is a very nice find indeed. But it looks too boxy to me. Its only my 2 cents | ||

i've been watching this very ebay auction...
this vac is sold under different brand names: Pullman-Holt, Nilfisk-Advance, Pacific something or other, etc. Commercial vacs in home settings is an interesting angle to me, Sanitaires, Guardsman's & many others seem to be a good fit for many homeowners. Like restaurant stoves & refrigerators these vacs could be the next chic alternative for this 'style conscious & brand aware' generation.

I started to say something stupid, but caught myself. It appears to take after some of the Eureka heritage, the VG1 as well as the bag looks alot like the Eureka Princess canister bags. | ||

In the UK Yes, they have been here since the 1970's and they weigh a tonne. They are great machines but were always too expensive and too bulky to be popular. The Numatic Henry beat off all the commercial competition on it's size and price. | ||

Electrolux Professional. What a name game it is. Here is what an Electrolux Professional looks like in the States. This is based on the Sanitaire Duralite, which I believe was based on the Eureka Ultra. I haven't seen another vacuum in the states with the Electrolux professional name on it.

In the janitorial field we refer to these as "hatbox" vacuums. We use them where noise is a factor. | ||
