Scan 2 of 4
Scan 2 of 4 (models SC679 "Maid Saver," SC684, SC886 and SC888)
One thing I do not understand is why the SC684 and SC886 have the better Vibra-Groomer II (2nd-generation) brush roll, while the SC888 (the one with the headlight) only has the Vibra-Groomer I (1st-generation) brush roll. The SC679 "Maid Saver" probably has the Disturbulator single-row brush roll, since the description sounds more generic considering the SC679 is the lowest-priced of the bunch. ~Ben

One other question: Which of the uprights used the 'blender motor' and which used the 'pancake motor? | ||

@hoover719
I wish I knew how to tell which models used what you describe. Most popular among the bunch was the SC886. The two with the headlight were the SC888 and SC899, the latter being wide-track. Again this brochure dates to 1986. The SC886 and SC888 both used a 6.5-amp motor while the SC899 uses a 6.7-amp motor. But again, I wish I knew how to tell between a "pancake" motor and a "blender" motor, since all of these (seem to) look alike. ~Ben | ||

@normvac
In 1986 all of these Sanitaire uprights had "vertical" motors (I suspect "pancake"?). Amperage by model: SC679 "Maid Saver": 4.0 SC684: 5.5 SC886 and SC888: 6.5 SC899: 6.7 SC24: 13.0 combined (two 6.5 amp motors) I also want to know whether or not the 12" stainless-steel VG-I can be used in the Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle in place of the wooden Disturbulator roll? The RMPT (for short) was also sold by Rainbow as their #R-1024 from 1974-80. ~Ben | ||
