I was browsing through craigslist, and I came across this. It is a two motor, two bagged sanitaire vacuum. I've never seen it before, is anyone familiar with it?

It would appear to be two sanitaires literally bolted together complete with separate bags, handles, etc. It is missing the steel bottom plates though, but otherwise just looks like two sanitaires bolted together. | ||

The ad has been there for awhile. Are you thinking of going to get it if it's still available? I was but I'm trying to downsize and secondly I'd probably be killed before it got into the house or shortly afterwards. Hard to hide a thing like that. | ||

You're welcome! Thats why I posted them!
I had a cool idea a while back when I first saw one of these Sanitaires. I thought about getting 2 Generation series Kirbys and removing their nozzles and making a bracket to bolt the nozzles together. Then just attach the two Kirbys of your choice to the double nozzle, and you have a very wide self-propelled double Kirby! If you didn't attach a mower-style handle, the machine could use a differential type steering, similar to that of a zero turn riding mower or a tank, just more primitive. In other words, put both vacs in drive and push both handles forward to go forward, pull the left handle back and push right forward for a left turn, etc. Pretty cool huh! And that's not all, for once you no longer need a double wide Kirby, simply detach the two vacs from the double nozzle and give them each a standard nozzle! Easy as pie! If I ever get 2 spare nozzles, I am totally building one. | ||

That large office suite would be best vacuumed by a backpack vacuum-lots of tables,desks to go under and around.The widesweep vacs are perfect for large lobbies,wide hallways, and such where there is little furniture. | ||

The downtown convention hall would be another-there is a large carpeted main room in the building-before and after events-the widesweep vacs would be good there. | ||
