Commercial vacuum
cleaners
are meant for heavy duty cleaning. Day-in and dayout, commercial
vacuum cleaners can undergo as much use in a single month as
household vacuum cleaners undergo in a lifetime.
Beyond durability, commercial vacuums have to
perform in the areas of ease-of-use, worker well-being, service,
maintenance and warranty.
“Convenience, ease-of-use and simple maintenance
were mandatory priorities in the development of our vacuum
line,” said Andre Motta, senior product manager for Rubbermaid
Commercial Products.
Rubbermaid has recently introduced a line of
commercial vacuum cleaners “designed to deliver years of
reliable service and high performance,” added Motta. Motta cites
dual motor, self-adjusting upright vacuum
cleaners
that feature automatic carpet height adjustment, improving
worker efficiency and well-being by eliminating the need to
manually adjust for different carpet heights.
Motta favors soft treaded wheels that glide
across carpeted surfaces. And with a low profile, vacuums that
allow the end-user to maneuver and clean under and around
furniture with ease.
Equipped with electronic indicator lights that
warn the end-user when the collection bag is full, or if there
is a clog in the system, the user does not have to notice the
red alert light, the vacuum automatically shuts down in 30
seconds to prevent the motor from overheating.
“This prolongs the life of the vacuums,” said
Motta.
He said smart design includes built-in features,
such as six-position brush height adjustment, 1.13 horsepower
motor, 50-foot power cord for extra-long range, and a bag collar
seal to prevent dust leakage. An easily removed agitator,
easy-to-replace belts and bags, and easy-to-empty paper bag
inserts allow for routine maintenance that can be performed
quickly and easily.
With ultra light upright vacuum cleaners,
stairways and/or steps are no longer diffi cult mobility
obstacles. Less than 10 pounds, Rubbermaid engineers have
designed a built-in, center balanced, “easy carry” ergonomic
handle for safe and easy transport up and down stairs. There are
no tools required for assembly and it cleans both hard and soft
floor surfaces with ease, thanks to its large soft, non-marking
outboard wheels.
Easy to Maneuver in Tight
Spaces
Backpack vacuum cleaners are
ideal for day cleaning because of their quiet operation and
ability to clean effortlessly around obstacles.
Unique padded backpack harness systems alleviate
body strain and reduce heat transfer. With the padded
hip-and-shoulder harness, these lightweight and quiet backpack
vacuums are quickly becoming an industry standard for high
productivity and worker comfort. And with the backpack vacuums,
cleaning high places and tight, hard to reach spaces can be done
quickly, safely and easily.
If you need a wet & dry vacuum, Motta recommends
a two-tank system with instant wet-to-dry changeover. The Wet &
Dry Vacuums include cleaning tools and wand for easier cleaning
in tight, hard to reach spaces—and a cart for easy
maneuverability.
And with on-board tool storage, the end-user is
prepared for any shop-cleaning task.
Service & Maintenance
When you invest in a piece of cleaning
equipment—you want to know that there is a solid service and
maintenance agreement behind it, as well as a warranty.
According to Motta, service plans ensure
improved service via:
- Short lead times for replacement parts;
- Attractive labor reimbursement rates;
- Extensive repair network availability;
- Quick and streamlined warranty claim process;
- Efficient and professional service personnel;
- Quality repairs.
“We’re proud to introduce our new line of
best-in-class smarter vacuums,” said Motta. “When it comes to
product and ease of-use, this line delivers on RCPs’ promise to
be the brand that professionals trust to help them work
smarter.” ❑
