Decent Commercial Machine
Original Message   Nov 24, 2008 1:03 am
I'm looking for a decent commercial machine to be used in a commercial setting in a video arcade by 16 year old kids that are in a hurry to get off work. We've got a Royal all M1028 that they are in the process of destroying. So far we've fixed, a few times, the pot metal handle where it connects to the machine . They also don't care what is vacuumed up. Although we've taught them to steer clear of pennies and dimes, the occasional hard candy still makes it's presence known in the fan case.

Beings that the video arcade is loaded with electronics, we are having a hard time with dust collecting on the circuit boards inside the games. With frequent air handler filter changes, the dust is still collecting, so a commercial machine with a HEPA filter is what we're looking for. And durable, as I stated. A Bag-first machine would also of course probably be the best idea with wide tubes leading to it. Probably bags beings nobody would ever clean the filter. Anything else I'm forgetting....oh...durability = #1 and then of course something that doesn't stir up the dust.

And keep the AB wells clean/free from bacteria build ups and stains.  The well is a poor design/function feature on the AB hand dryer.  In fact the whole AB shape, form and design is not conducive to public restrooms like all the other wall mounted units.  Does anyone know the answer to M00seUK's question about the new smaller AB model?  Does this new future AB scrub the well? 

BTW, HS, dyson may even hire you as an expert for the National Sanitation Foundation.  You can join the ranks of the independent business consultants.  Then you can play golf with clients and write off the costs of your new clubs as a business expense!  Unlike me, who is a kid and too young to play golf, you're an old goat!  You qualify.

You are the expert.  You know. ex=has been and spurt = a drip under pressure.

Here is the etymology of the word according to Webster's Dictionary:    "Ex" is an abbreviation for "example'' and "spurt" is a forceful gush.  Putting the two together, you undoubtedly are saying that I am an example of a forceful gush.  I graciously accept and thank you for your compliment!   While I have been called such on many occasions [like now by you] I never refer to myself as such.  To do so diminishes the value and the meaning.  It must come from others.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Here is a Web Site link for the above, a good choice, but by no means teens' proof.  Rated commercial grade but very very pricey.  Also approved by the Carpet and Rug Insititute and the vacuum choice of many industrial cleaners for hospitals, restaurants, office buildings, churches, cinemas, and the like.

A definition of gush:  a rapid outpouring of anything.  In your case it would be BS.

A definition of spurt:  to expel in a stream.  In your case it is diarrhea or the mouth.

Hello HARDSELL:

Another example of the HARDSELL flip flop.  Two different days, two different says.  You can't get your facts straight from one day to the next.  Typical.  After praising your free dyson DC07 for years, you sell it, and buy a bagged Royal Emminence .  Say what was that about BS of the mouth and mind?  I'm hearing that loud sucking sound again.

Did you ever buy a vacuum?

The Sebo/Windsor comes as close to being teen proof as any vacuum can be:

1) It cannot be operated w/o bag or filter, or while clogged

2) The belt cannot be broken

3) It is easily dissembled for de-clogging

4) It signals the need for a new brush roller

5) The brush roller can be removed easily w/o any tools

6) To break it would require serious intent, the likes of which would bregrounds for dismissal

I worked for a large and growing appliance electronics retailer. Each store goes through six or more household bagless vacuums per year. I suggested that they move to backpacks and vacuum daily, not at night, but in the morning before the store opened to pick up all the debris and dust that settled at night, thus saving the effort and expense of daily dustmopping which puts a large quanity of dust back into the air, and stopping the practice of putting at least six vacuums per year into the landfills.
Hi Trebor:
Would you recommend a back pack vacuum[s] for the teens' use in the Arcades?
