Sanitaire SC888G Commercial Upright
by Electrolux Home Care Products North America
If you are looking for a powerful and very durable commercial upright
vacuum cleaner, the Sanitaire SC888G Commercial upright may be the
one for you. Electrolux Home Care Products North America
(formerly The Eureka Company) is one of a
very limited number of manufacturers who are still making high quality
vacuum cleaners here in the United States. The Sanitaire SC888G upright
is made by their Sanitaire Division which manufacturers commercial
quality vacuum cleaners. For information on the company name change from
"The Eureka Company" to "Electrolux Home Care Products North America", see
"The Electrolux-Eureka-Sanitaire Connection."
Having begun in 1909, this historic company has a long history of manufacturing
outstanding vacuum cleaners. For many years the Sanitaire Division has had
an excellent track record of consistently producing Commercial quality
products which perform well and seem to last forever. The Sanitaire SC888G
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.
The Sanitaire SC888G 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. Its
manufacturer is an industry leader, having successfully used
Lexan for 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 SC888G.
It is light weight but extremely tough, being able to flex and handle high
impacts without breaking.
Large amounts of air flow and rigorous
carpet agitation powered by its 7.0
amp. (840
watts) high performance motor combine in the Sanitaire SC888G 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 SC888G 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 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.
The tempered extruded aluminum brush roll,
named the "Vibra Groomer I", is one of the strongest in the industry. It
has a contoured spiral design which enhances the
agitation produced by the double rows of
brush strips. 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 thread guards 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.
The Sanitaire SC888G comes equipped with a zippered Micron outer bag
with Premium paper bags. This Micron
Filter System retains up to 99% of pollens, household dust mites and other
allergens as small as 1 micron. Premium
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 Premium 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.
|
Extra Wide Commercial Wheels |
|
|
|
The Sanitaire SC888G 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 SC888G 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.
