Hoover Commercial HushTone vs Kirby Sentria

Most carpet cleaners don't even carry a vacuum, but with Oxydy this is a standard operating procedure and I will normally actually post vacuum after I...

Just by picking up the Kirby it made my Dyson feel like a toy. The Kirby feels very well constructed and I’m excited to have a more quality vacuum than the DC50. I may still keep it around just because it’s a bit more maneuverable and I have the attachments with it, but I feel the Sentria will likely take over the reigns. At the same Goodwill were two other Kirby’s, a Generation 3 and another older model I’m spacing on the name of

Although you lose the hard floor brushroll shutoff from the T-Series, the Hushtone does give you a lifetime belt protection system and sealed filtration.

Same thing happens, another ridiculously large amount of baking soda just explodes into the filter section and he has to shut it off. This happens honestly about another 6 times until it finally seems like the amount of baking soda blasting into the filter starts to tone down a little. It was completely crazy. It made this other uber-expensive $800 vacuum look like a fisher-price toy

I really want to like this vacuum. I use this for my small cleaning business. It’s sturdy and has decent suction. The cord is a good length

I've been collection Kirby Vacuum Cleaners for 13 years. I have vintage Kirby's from the 1940's to a the new Sentria model we purchased just last month. I find the Sentria to be just as powerful suction wise as any of the Kirby Generation series model's. The Sentria is much lighter in weight, due to the fact the aluminum housing is much thinner then previous model Kirby vacuum's

Take a look at the Hoover Hushtone Commercial CH54113/CH54115 and the Proforce Proteanm 1200XP are two vacuums that sell between $300-350. Both are bagged commercial upright vacuums that are more durable for high use. They both have quick draw wands and hoses for above floor cleaning.

What I've found out is the price is very negotiable and you can get a better deal by being persistent.

Good Stuff - this vacuum sucks! Like, really well. However, it is HEAVY! Additionally trying to push it around objects is like trying to steer a cruise ship ..

The thing is big! It's shiny! It's noisy and powerful! Hell, it's made of METAL! What's not to love! Get one of these machines and we will never need another vacuum for the rest of our live! This thing will be a family heirloom! Kirby salesmen direct their pitch to the husbands. Check this thing out! It can do everything! She can shampoo the carpets, vacuum my car, clean invisible bugs out of the bed (yeah, that one is directed at her)..
