Product Description
The Sanitaire SC679J Commercial shake out bag upright vacuum cleaner is lightweight( 12 lb.), has a 5 amp motor that delivers 120 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air flow, and has an 18 dry quart capacity Tietex fabric shake-out bag that can be emptied and reused to save costs associated with disposable bags. The handle has an automatic locking system with a foot pedal release for usability, and drops down flat for cleaning under furniture and for storage. This vacuum cleaner has earned a Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval (bronze rating) for soil removal and indoor air quality in the commercial use vacuum category. The height of the vacuum cleaner can be manually adjusted to four positions to accommodate different flooring surfaces. The vacuum collects debris in an 18 dry quart capacity standard filtration fabric shake-out bag for more vacuuming time between bag emptying than cleaners with less debris capacity. The 30-foot power cord enables the vacuum to cover a larger area without changing outlets than vacuums with shorter cords, and the cord-wrap hooks on the handle hold the cord for storage. This upright vacuum cleaner is better suited for cleaning carpets than typical canister vacuums and takes up less storage space. The foot-operated power switch is mounted on the motor hood. A furniture guard bumper helps prevent damage to furniture and walls. The vacuum cleaner operates at a sound level of 78 decibels. The vacuum requires assembly; instructions included.
Specifications
Motor power5 ampsMotor airflow120 cubic feet per minute (CFM)Cleaning path12"Cord length30'Capacity18 dry quartsSound level78 dBWeight12 lb.Vacuum cleaners have electric motors that generate suction to remove dust, dirt, and debris from floors and other surfaces. The dirt is collected in a dust bag (either disposable or reusable), a cyclone, or another chamber for disposal. Intake and exhaust air is usually filtered to keep dust particles from clogging the motor or being released back into the air. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) and ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filters are used for applications that require the filtration of very fine particles. Vacuum cleaners are available in a variety of styles, including upright vacuums, canister vacuums, backpack vacuums, and wet and dry vacuums. Vacuum cleaners may have residential, commercial, or industrial applications.
Sanitaire manufactures vacuum cleaners for home and commercial applications. The company, founded in 1972, is headquartered in Charlotte, NC.

The SC899 is a little over-powered in some situations (not in a good way), but the SC679J has just the right balance between power and size to be more maneuverable, and ample power (with very good airflow) to clean carpets that the larger SC899 tries to eat.
The wood brush roll (with bushings, not bearings) works well, but can be difficult to re-install when taken out for cleaning. This is solved by applying WD40 to the rubber end cushions and carefully re-inserting the brush roll until fully seated in the body again (the wood can swell in certain seasons, and shrink in others so it can vary in size slightly).
The shake-out bag system is fairly easy to clean, just take it outside and carefully turn it inside out, vacuum it with a hose and brush, or gently sweep the dust with a whisk broom to clean the fabric. Turn it back right side out and clean the outside. It only takes a few minutes when you get the hang of it.
These "dirty air" vacuums rely on airflow to work so resist the temptation to try and create a seal by lowering too much (leave a small gap for air to be pulled into the vacuum above the carpet), and you'll see small particles being drawn in from a few inches in front and around the vacuum head.
While perfect as it is for home use, I recommend upgrading the brush roll at some point to the VGII for an improvement in overall performance, but again this is optional if you use this vacuum frequently.
BTW, this one does not have the quick clean fan chamber (where two screws reveal the fan and the chamber for easy cleaning and replacement) so when eventual cleaning must be done, you have to remove the motor, which isn't a big deal, there are videos online to demonstrate this if you look for them.
It does come with an extra belt, but I've cleaned with mine for weeks now and am still on the original belt, so if you don't run the vacuum too low the belts can last a long time.
This is an exceptional vacuum for the price, but it takes adjusting to using this type of vacuum if you have been using the more common plastic vacs which have the motor behind a bag (or dustcup and cyclone) and must pull through all that and hoses to get to the cleaning head. This motor is right down by the opening, and uses airflow (with a large fan) to create a negative air pressure to pick up dirt. So you have to fiddle with the height adjustment to ensure a balance of airflow and agitation. This is easy to learn and creates superior deep cleaning when you get it right. Don't be fooled by the price, this one is worth at least twice the price they're asking...
The Sanitaire fit all the criteria above and was cheaper than the newfangled bagless vacuums. I bought a F&G conversion bag, an upgraded Vibragroomer II brushroll ,and it still was cheaper than a low line cheap plastic vacuum at most stores. Sure this vac looks low tech, and it probably is, but performance doesn't depend upon looks. I actually like the looks of it, it reminds me of my grandmas and mom's sweepers from the 1970s.
Now onto the performance, it is terrific. I completely FILLED a F&G bag in one sweeping on about 800 Sq Ft of carpet that had been vacuumed regularly (couple times a week) with the Caddy Vac! If you have ever seen a F&G bag they are HUGE, probably twice as big as most normal sweeper bags. I could not believe how much dog hair and other junk came out of the carpet. In the week since, I have swept daily since I got this sweeper and I have almost filled another whole bag. The Vibragroomer brush has brought back the nap of the carpet. This carpet was fairly new when I moved into this house about a year ago, and it looks like new again.
Needless to say I am extremely pleased with this sweeper! I would encourage people to take a look at this inexpensive yet strong performer. In case you are interested, here is the link to the bag so you can use paper bags instead of the standard shake out bag, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MNVLU0 Here is the Vibragroomer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A1CTP8
