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.

I agree with MOLE.  If the teens can "destroy" an all metal Royal 1028Z, forget the rest of the uprights on the market today.  They'll go through them like Patton went through Bastogne.  The best ONE vacuum fits all for your needs is a no frills straight suction canister.  Like an indoor/outdoor and/or wet/dry vacuum.  They're inexpensive and durable.  May want to keep and allow adult use/supervision, of the Royal All Metal upright exclusively for the rugs.  In concert with the aforementioned canister for all the teen cleaning including the once over the rugs before the final royal vacuuming.

Many if not all of the Casinos here have arcades for the big and small kiddies.  The vacuum of choice is the commercial grade EUREKA upright Sanitaire.  The primary users are adults, who in no way are delicate with these machines during operation, but at least they exercise some common sense.

Hey H.S.

NEED A NEW JOB?

I dont believe Carmine wants to work in an arcade, even though he is a big kid  now,

i THINK THE PERFECT JOB FOR YOU IS THE PERSON ON THE FLOOR THAT MAKES CHANGE WITH THAT MACHINE STRAPPED TO HIS BELT,YOU KNOW THE DOLLAR BILL CHANGER,

Maybe you could be the restroom attendent and watch over the AIRBLADE

Take care

Hello HARDSELL:

Do you ask because a thief stole your shovel?  Or was it your DC07?  No, you sold your dyson.  Must be that you miss the shovel!  

I'm a retired vacuum industry consultant.  I'm for hire.  Not sale.  Too bad Sir you don't make enough even to pay just my per diem rates, let alone my hourly billing rate. 

BTW, when I first read this post, I thought of the Royal Eminence you bought with the proceeds of your DC07 sale.  Why?  Meets the poster's criteria: Tools on board for suction cleaning, by-pass dirt path for avoiding fan breakage if hard candy and coins are picked up, and bagged!  And probably trade the royal metal for the purchase with a royal dealer.  Unfortunately no vacuum, regardless of brand make, model, and price, is teen proof. 

MOLE:

You're right.  I enjoy the arcades as much as the kids, which I consider myself to be [old kid, HS, not to be confused with young goat!].

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.

I never lose on the Titans.  The sooner the Titans, Bud Adams and Bredesen go the better.

I was disappointed that UT beat Vandy.
