I'd love to get a Kirby for this job but I don't think Kirby is OSHA approved and that is an issue. Would the Royal Commercial Vacuum be good in this situation?

If you can't use Kirby, then I would definitely get a Commercial Royal. The cleaning ability is just as good as a Kirby and better than the Sanitaire. The belts last a long time on the Royal. It is available in two floor nozzle sizes 14" and 18". Does your church have pews or removable seating? I would get the 18" size unless you need to get into tight areas. |

The Sanitaires are just as bad with belts, sadly. I had one to clean my church a few years back, and it ate through belts regularly. It was all flat commercial carpeting, and the most I ever got out of a belt was about a month. I was even using the Hoover 48 belts rather than the Eureka RD belts (slightly shorter and tighter) the eureka belts would start slipping within a week. More than once the (seemingly fine) belt would break partway through vacuuming and I would have to stop and go to the hardware store to get a new one, since I was out. Even with the belt issues, it was a great cleaner and the carpets never looked better. I would recommend you look at Windsor's Versamatic line- they have 14" and 18" nozzles, and are driven by a geared belt- so no slipping breaking belts. They have a performance indicator on the nozzle (green means the brush is set to the correct height and the bristles are the correct length, red means the brush has jammed and cut off, red and green means the brush is working, but not optimally- either the height is set too high or the brush (easily replaceable strip) has worn out. It also has a full bag warning light, and the machine runs very quietly. They are rather heavy, so keep that in mind. Excellent machines though. I have the 14" model and love it.
