Vacuums

Vacuums lists four Perfect machines for commercial floors. The P101 is a corded upright with a built-in magnet for metal debris and an adjustable carpet height. The P109 is a full-size upright that runs on a lithium-ion battery, with a 13 in cleaning path and a top-fill bag. The PP1001 is a 10 qt backpack vacuum with shoulder and waist straps, a hose and a tool kit. The PCS3 is a rechargeable sweeper with a bagless dirt cup.

Think about where each machine will work. Long runs of open carpet suit an upright, and a battery model leaves no cord to trip over in occupied spaces. The backpack suits furnished offices and corridors, where an upright is awkward. The sweeper is for spot pickups between full vacuuming. Check which bags and belts a machine uses before buying, so that spares are on the shelf.

Belts are in Vacuum Parts; a Sanitaire upright and a portable carpet extractor are listed under Equipment.
