I finally got to try out the one wide area vac we have at work. I like this a lot better than our ride on vacuum i feel there is a lot more airflow to it and it may pick up better.
For those unfamiliar with the Carpetriever it's a 3 motor system, two motors for suction, and one for the brush. The brush has a wide diameter with...i think 5 rows of fairly stiff brushes. Has anyone else had the opportunity to use a wide area vacuum? |

I've seen some pacers for sale on ebay.
The rider we have is a Windsor Ivac here's a youtube video on it. It has dual counter rotating brushes a circular side brush, an onboard hose, and a post motor hepa filter. The people who use it like it. I'm not a big fan of it as standing still hurts my feet i'd rather be pushing a more conventional wide vac around. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Blackheart's LINK |

Rex,
How is the airflow on that Power-flite? I've been somewhat curious as to how the direct air ones and clean air ones compare, unfortunately i've only ever used a clean air vac. John, I think i recall seeing pictures of that somewhere, it's an interesting way to solve the issue of large spaces, i've also seen pictures of a eureka with a similar setup. |

We have one of those at work, it does a great job, the janitors can do a whole hallway in no time. |
