I received my new sanitare this week. I used it today. It’s replacing an old Hoover wind tunnel power drive. It was my third wt. I can’t believe the difference! I have an area in my living room that always looks dirty. The new machine has the vibra groomer and it shook all that old grit out of my 3 year old heavy carpet. What a difference. I don’t need a hose as I have an old filter queen for that. I found old style beats new . The upright canister combo is still the way to go.
