I prefer the feel of cleaning with a Sanitaire. It just feels like a superior machine compared to any of the later Hoovers. And it's easier to service, too. |

I'd have to say I prefer a Sanitaire as well; Simple, powerful, no frills machine that can be used as a garbage disposal if necessary. I cleaned my church with a SC684 for about a year and a half, and it couldn't be beat. Loved the 50 foot cord, it was lightweight enough to not be terribly tiring while cleaning approximateely 10,000 square feet of carpet and various doormats, and as long as I fed it a steady diet of brush strips and belts, never had an issue. Never clogged or jammed except for the occasional piece of gravel or salt under the belt. If I had to do it again, I would go with the disposable bag setup rather than the shakeout bag, which leaked a fair amount of dust and could be messy to empty.
