Sanitaire SC888 Vacuum Cleaner Introduction

If you are looking for a powerful and very durable commercial upright vacuum cleaner at an economical price, the Sanitaire SC888 Commercial upright may be the one for you. For many years Sanitaire has had an excellent track record of consistently producing Commercial quality products which perform well and seem to last forever. The Sanitaire SC888 Commercial continues their tradition of excellence with its outstanding cleaning effectiveness, incorporating an efficient motor with extra-large suction producing fan and very durable revolving brush roll.

Commercial Construction

The Sanitaire SC888 is a high quality upright which is designed for commercial cleaning. Its hood, base plate and complete handle are made from durable chrome plated steel. Even the handle release pedal and latching mechanism are made of hardened steel for extra long life. Eureka is an industry leader, having successfully used Lexan for manufacturing their upright bases, fans, and other parts requiring high impact resistance since the mid 1960s. Lexan is General Electric's registered trademark for a particular type of polycarbonate resin. It is an extremely tough and strong synthetic plastic with the ability to maintain its shape and size even under great stresses over a wide range of temperatures. This makes it ideal for the main base of the Sanitaire SC888. It is light weight but extremely tough, being able to flex and handle high impacts without breaking.

Efficient 7.0 Amp Motor

Large amounts of air flow and rigorous carpet agitation powered by its 7.0 amp. (840 watts) high performance motor combine in the Sanitaire SC888 Commercial upright to deep-clean all types of carpeted floors. Featuring lifetime lubricated ball bearings and well constructed motor parts it will perform dependably for many years. The belt pulley is made with hardened steel to reduce wear even when cleaning sand and other abrasive substances. When it comes to cleaning carpeted floors, this upright will out perform most uprights, even those with higher amperage ratings.

Efficient and Durable Suction Fan

The sturdy, well designed suction fan in the Sanitaire SC888 is one of the most efficient in the industry. The fan's extra large diameter and tall blades are designed to handle large volumes of air efficiently. This special fan, combined with the extra large air passages and extra large paper bag, produces an extremely high amount of air flow through the system for very effective cleaning. Being made with Lexan, it is extremely tough with the ability to maintain its shape and size even under great stresses over a wide range of temperatures. Its ability to flex with impact enables its blades to take direct hits from large debris with minimal risk of breaking.

The "Quick Kleen" transparent fan chamber lets you see when your vacuum cleaner fan chamber needs to be serviced. This enables restaurants and other food oriented users to easily remove residual food which adheres to the outer surfaces of the fan chamber.

Heavy Duty Brush Roll

The chromed steel brush roll, named the "Vibra Groomer II", has successfully been used for years. The brush strips are replaceable, reducing the cost of replacing the complete brush roll. The brush roll revolves on two sealed precision ball bearings which are protected by metal end caps for longer maintenance free operation. Except for the brush strips, the complete brush roll assembly is metal and should last the entire life of this heavy duty vacuum cleaner. For reduced vibration and extended life, its metal end caps are mounted in rubber when the roll is inserted into the Lexan base.

Center Mounted, Funnel Shaped Air Intake

The center mounted air intake behind the brush roll flares out to the edges of the cleaning nozzle as it approaches the brush roll. This wide funnel shaped opening causes the air flow to be distributed quite evenly across the entire cleaning width for more efficient and uniform cleaning. This also creates a flat dirt collection area immediately behind the brush roll so dirt and grit are gathered and whisk away by the air flow before they can bounce back out of the nozzle. This substantially reduces the scatter effect which many uprights experience when picking up grit and small stones.

Micron Filter System

The Sanitaire SC888 comes equipped with a dual zipper Micron outer bag with disposable white fabric bags inside. This Micron Filter System retains up to 99% of pollens, household dust mites and other allergens as small as 1 micron. Filteraire bags have the ability to filter out 10 times more of sub-micron size particles than ordinary vacuum cleaner bags. This filtration is accomplished with minimal loss of air flow. For those preferring not to use paper bags, we can substitute a matching commercial Sanitaire shake-out bag. It will emit significantly more fine dust particles than the Micron Filter System with the Filteraire paper bag.

Far Reaching Commercial Power Cord

The extra-long 50' power cord enables you to clean large areas without breaking your pace to change to a different electrical outlet. Its extra heavy construction with kinkless vinyl cover makes it a very durable power cord to match this durable commercial upright. A grounding wire and three prong plug are incorporated as well to meet safety requirements. This cord is detachable near the vacuum for easier replacement if damaged.

Extra Wide Commercial Wheels

The Sanitaire SC888 has extra wide wheels which will roll easily over your carpeted floors while enabling this upright to be easily pivoted for excellent maneuverability around your furniture. Being made with tough vinyl using a reinforcing ribs design, they will perform without breaking for many years to come. All wheels are mounted on steel axles for reduced friction and extended life. The extra wide rear wheel base adds to the stability of this commercial upright.

Convenient Height Adjustment

Easily adjust the Sanitaire SC888 to match the exact height of your carpets with the front mounted six position height adjustment knob. This enables you to set it exactly as need for optimum cleaning and ease of use.
