Do you still have that old Sanitaire SC886? Ive been looking everywhere for an old one like that. Would you trade it for a newer SC886 or a Hoover Convertible? Its green and white and it was built in 1982 but it doesnt even have one scratch on it. The model number is U4127. Hit me up if interested and if you wanna trade that old Sanitaire for a newer one I have several different models 7 of them being SC886s but none that old. And if you wanna trade I can throw in spair parts as well
@fiddleydiddley Gritty abrasive soils left behind by vac damages rugs and shortens their life. The biggest wear factor on a rug is a revolving brush vacuum. We have to repair sides and fringes every day in our rug care studio because a revolving brush vac has damaged the rug. A revolving brush vac also pulls fibers out of rugs and shortens their life significantly.
This Sanitaire had a fresh belt and was not slipping. If you use a Sanitaire for dusting rugs from the frontside you MUST replace the brush very often as it will weaken, slip and loose performance.
Note to all you Vacuum buffs: The RugBadger is designed to remove the abrasive, damaging dry soil from area rugs that ALL vacumms FAIL to remove, THEN you flip the rug and use an upright vac to remove the loosened soils. It is used on the backside of the rug, not on the frontside. It will NOT damage a rug, but the soil left behind by all vacuums WILL damage rugs. Don't believe me, just take my six second challenge!
@whoisthisguy724 We use a Dyson for the frontside of rugs. Great vac to remove lint, hair etc., but not recommeded for regular vacuuming of rugs as the roller will damage sides, fringes and dredge out loose rug fiber.
@whoisthisguy724 The Sanitaire had the brushes removed and beaters installed so it would vibrate the back of the rug much better so it could compete against the RugBadger better. The Sanitaire still failed to perform anywhere near as well as the RugBadger at "vibrating" the backside of the rug.
@6060nanaful The RugBadger is not designed to compete with the vacuum. The vacuum removes soil from the front side of the rug with the pile side up and leaves much of the soil behind no matter what brand. The RugBadger takes advantage of GRAVITY> the machine produces over 40,000. harmonic vibration per minute to effectively vibrate the soil loose while the rug is UPSIDE DOWN.
@bagintheback This Sanitaire had a new belt installed just before the demo. The slipping belt on the Sanitaire is a design flaw and will result in poor performance. Before the RugBadger we would use the Sanitaire vacs, but made it policy to always install a new belt every work day or it would slip and performance would degrade significantly.
@dustyv8x1r2 Um idiot. vacuums suck dirt up from under carpets all the time. They can do it with RUGS also. I have. So Kirb fan is right. That sanitaire just sucked it up. Do your research. Plus your little badger is like 40 pounds...that vacuums like 15-20
@vacuumlover1 Mr Vaclover, pls tone down your name calling. If you watch the video again you will note that the RugBadger puts a vibration deep into the back of the rug when the rug is put upside down. A vacuum with a revolving brush/beater will also do this,, it just can not do this anywhere near as fast and a vac will quickly loose performance. A vacuum can not remove dirt by sucking throught the backside of a rug,, sorry. If you really think it can then prove it now.
To see for yourself if your vac is getting the dry, gritty, abrasive and damaging soil out of your rugs just flip the rug upside down after you have vacuumed and cleaned and then rug ANY revolving brush/bar vac for 6 seconds.
Now flip the rug and see for yourself just how poorly all vacs perform at accually removing soil.
The only way to safely and effectivly remove this soil is to vibrate the soil out using a rugbadger
if you want to clean professionally dont buy a dyson. i work on them everyday they are the worst vacuum in the world they lose suction they break down, the cyclones clog, the cable breaks, the bearings wear out. all you people out there think that coz you can see the dirt they dyson picks loads up, come on people look at the size of the tank of course it looks a lot its all squashed round the cyclone in the middle of the tank, use a bagged vacuum with a new belt clean filters and a new bag

@fiddleydiddley Dyson has way to stiff a brush, will cause more damage than it removes soil.

@fiddleydiddley Sebo is a great vac for the front side of the rug. A poor choice to dust (vibrate) a rug from the backside.

1. the reason the sanitaire left behind less dirt than the rug badger is because it actually VACUUMS up the dirt it shakes out
2.say there is surface dirt on the rug. the rug badger would not be able to remove it because it could not push the dirt all the way through the rug
3.sanitaire needs new belt
4.who the HELL would buy something that competes with a vacuum except it does not actually vacuums

@6060nanaful 5. The Sanitaire's brushroll was ALL beater-bar!!! The two rows of brushes have been replaced with extra beater bars!!!!

wow, thats because the vacuum sucked away the dirt it vibrated out

@kirbfan94 Tell me how a vacuum could suck away the dirt. The rug was upside down. The vac can not suck the dirt through the back of a rug.
