Will clean far "deeper" than any Filter Queen. You came home with a great combo at an excellent price if they are new, if used i hope you at least got a good warranty.
The one down side to that particular Sanitaire would be if you, or someone else in your household had allergies. It will blow a good amount of fine dust out of the bag. So regardless, do follow the instructions you were given a give a good cleaning from time to time. If you indeed have allergies in your household you can convert that model to one that takes ST Hepa dust bags that would work far better for you (see pic). For the money spent, and if it fit's your needs, dollar for dollar i believe that standard commercial Sanitaire (or the Koblenz Powr-Flite etc. clone of it), is the best cleaning value out there in a new vacuum...good job. |

fr standard commercial Sanitaires come in four basic versions:
1)dirt cup which you now have 2)shake out bag 3) zippered outer bag for F&G style paper inserts (pictured) 4) zippered outer bag for ST style paper inserts You want number 3 or 4. F&G type, number 3, is what i link to below. Number 4, ST type, is somewhat better performance but at a much great cost for the outer bag (and the inner bags over time) because as far as i know it's only available from Sanitaire whereas the F&G style is available widely in generic form. You have to be a little handy with a screw driver to install the new outer (zippered bag). CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK |

We bought a Sanitaire SC886 for our shop in 07/20/11. It's freakin' loud, but kicks butt. We have to buy belts by the ten pack, which isn't bad at $1.50 each. Just replaced the , Motor Drive Pulley a couple months ago, because the belts ate through the original one! The shake out bag is disgusting, but works for this environment.

My Sanitaire uprights will be made from 1983 to 1992. The "SC" refers to the heavy-duty commercial "red" line while the "S" refers to those household "blue" equivalents.
My hot sheet: Model SC679 / S639 "Maid Saver" (4 amps, Disturbulator brush roll) Model SC684 / S644 (5.5 amps, Vibra-Groomer II brush roll) Model SC886 / S646 (6.5 amps, Vibra-Groomer II brush roll) Model SC888 / S648 (6.5 amps, Vibra-Groomer I brush roll, headlight) Model SC899 / S678 Wide Track (6.7 amps, Vibra-Groomer I brush roll, headlight) (all of these with a type letter of A, B or D) ~Ben |
