I purchased the Sanitaire SP6950A Canister to compliment our Sanitaire 6610 upright. The canister will be used for the hard wood floors, drapes dust bunnies, etc. The upright for the wall to wall carpet.
These vacuums are imported from Hungary by Sanitaire and are being sold in Europe under the AEG brand.
The vacuum has a 9 amp. 1000 watt motor that produces a great deal of suction.With the floor nozzle attached, I can actually see our wall to wall plush carpet lift up when I do a quick "spot" cleaning!!! It has a variable speed control knob on the canister that allows you to slow the motor down, producing less suction for cleaning things like draperies.
It operates with 2 fans that run in series that produces more suction for the amperage than a single fan and makes the vacuum much quieter. You can actually hold a conversation with someone while vacuuming (and not shouting!!!).
There are two flip down, covered storage compartments on each side of the canister that you can store accessories or extra bags.
The hose and retractable metal wand reach 10ft. which makes reaching cobwebs on the ceiling very easy.
Being that this canister vacuum does not have a powered brush head, Sanitaire includes it's deluxe floor and rug nozzle. With the brushes down it cleans hard surfaced floors with ease with very good edge cleaning abilities. With the brushes retracted, it does very well on the capeted steps and area rugs.
The HEPA filtration is good for people with allergies.
So far we're very happy with our purchase.
If you need a canister with a powered head, take a look at the System Pro P5, SP6952A.
