I am working on a demo and my options are to go by a ton of vacuums and test each one to see if I can find one with 55" of water lift or less OR ask you all to see if you know of any.

A couple restrictions:
No Kirby or Sanitaire fan units
Preferably the model would be something currently on the market.
The lower the better and the more the merrier.

Oh and it needs to be an upright as well.

Maybe something by Bissell?

Kirby/Sanitaire would be one of the only ones.
A Oreck classic & Dyson stick vacuum get about 30-40"
Bissells are usually 60" +

@VacuumDevil / PR
Yeah I was afraid of that.
Ill keep looking though just in case there is an outlier.

Although there aren't many modern uprights that would have so little suction, I think some of the smaller to compact size uprights might fall in that range. Specifically the bissell powerforce compact model 2112 (walmart), the dirt devil quick lite model UD20015 (or similar, dirt devil has several mini uprights like it), or the black and decker airswivel model BDASP103 (amazon) or the other variants of the airswivel since they all use the same motor.

Other than those I'm not sure, with most modern cheaper uprights using clean air designs most can get at least 60 inches as vacuumdevil points out.

The ClearTraks (Rebranded as Workhorse) uses an 8 amp motor. I would check those out.

The Bissell Powerforce Compact Bagless

is probably your best bet. Available at Walmart.

My 2013 model does a whopping 51" of lift from the hose end using a 7 Amp motor.

You can regulate the suction pressure of a vacuum with a vent. With an adjustable suction relief vent, you can turn even high-powered vacs into what you are looking for.

Forgot to add:

As you know, not all vacs have suction relief vents. That said, I’m sure you could make something out of PVC pipes and fittings which could go on the hose end (or some other convenient location in-line with the air path) to regulate the suction pressure of whichever vacuum you choose.

Also, vacs with variable speed motors might also accomplish what you are looking for.

This Eureka Airspeed Vacuum is worst of any modern plug in vacuum I can think of in the past 5 years. Might be a good one to Throw under the bus.

Good choice

Bissell has a blue version maybe a fewer years old. I could be wrong but they look like the same turd.
People on Amazon really don't know how to rate or have not had any vacuum not plastic crap via big box stores.
Great videos by the way. Out of all the vacuum reviewers I have listened to your suggestions and bought based upon your reviews. You do a great job and thanks for great honest reviews.

I'm confident you could accomplish that with any stick vacuum on the market today.

These have terrible suction. I had one and it was by far the weakest vacuum what I have ever tested.
