Ok so for a couple years I've been working for a resort in the housekeeping department. I've never seen 1 department go through so many vacuums as they are. We had metal Royal which the wheels kept falling off, then we got the Hoover Hushtones which didn't hold up I managed to get 2 before they were thrown out one I had to fix because someone vacuumed up hot ashes and burned a hole in it, then the Sanitaire Ion, Sanitaire red/grey hood which are falling apart, Bissell Big Green hard plastic body which didn't even make it a half season, they are now trying 1 Oreck and 5 Hoover Taskvac bagless. Our new season is about to start and I'm wondering what they're going to be sending us next since most of the decent ones get stolen plus I'm doing commercial laundry I work with huge extractors/originators, 1 towel folder and 1 iron finisher which is a miracle if i can get through the day w/out something getting caught in it! From what I've seen it looks like the plastic they're using on then now is not what they used to use many years ago.

I've got one of those I kinda like it aside from the weight. For the price it has a lot of feature to it, though i've been questioning it's ability to hold up in commercial use.
Anyways I'm guessing your co workers are quite hard on the machines. Have they tried a Proteam 1500xp? those seem pretty sturdy. Or perhaps the Titan commercial unit would be a good fit due to it's low price point. Perhaps even a backpack unit, though many cleaners tend to hate them. I clean at a school, our main units are windsor versamatic pluses but people around here still manage to break them so I don't think they'd be a good fit especially with the high price tag. We also have Proteam Supercoach backpacks but very few of us utilize them.

I don't know what corporate will be sending we had a Cleanmax I seen it only once then it disappeared things seem to walk out of the building due to no one checking what comes back in. The cleaning crew is very rough on things, I've suggested many times on how to stop it and make people accountable but they won't so it's not my worry.

I know the proteam coach commercial vacuum is probably most popular out there. It's a backpack vac. It's selling point is you can vacuum twice as fast as other commercial vacuums.
I know you may be looking into upright. I do think proteam has a high CFM and cover large areas quickly. I thought I'd throw it out there. Les |

Wow that's an amazing list of heavy duty things to go through.
I hope you're keeping track of what went wrong with what. I love hearing field reports. I'm going to post videos of the two toughest commercial machines I know of right now maybe you'll get a chance to put them into service. @speedqueen I was wondering if you we're aware that machine has changed internally significantly since TTI bought Hoover ? I've got reports that the motors are only lasting 500-1000 working hours at best. Back in the day the Hoover conquest sure was a great machine. I'm still looking for a clean example for the collection. |

I was looking at it for familiar components and design elements to see if anything about it resembled some of their Rotafil/Lindhaus sourced models from the past few decades. This one looks completely different. |
