in your demanding setting seems to behoove you to make sure you get a machine in top condition. We're talking about something 40 years old after all. An Electrolux will fill up with pet hair fairly fast i would imagine. I love the Kenmore's and own two, but with pets on a ranch i would look elsewhere. There are quality commercial canister vacuums with large capacity bags that can be bought new for under $300.

is the Silver King Vacuum. This thing is all metal, and has an extremely powerful motor. It is like the filter queen but even simpler as far as maintenance goes. The weak point, just like the older Filter Queens, is the power head, but it seems you only need straight suction anyways. It also is less convenient than a bag system. But both this, and the FQ, will be easier on your budget in the longer term because usually people with pets fill bags fast.
The one in the pic is "buy it now" on Ebay for a very good price. It is the Blue Max version, but all the Silver Kings are pretty much the same machine (see pic and link). CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK on eBay This post was last edited 02/27/2014 at 18:49 |
