Additionally, the vacuums feature large capacity bags, which minimize the frequency of bag changes and enhance operational efficiency.

The Sanitaire 800 and 600 series also come with various accessories and attachments, broadening their versatility. Users can easily switch from cleaning carpets to hard floors or tackle upholstery with just a change of attachment. This adaptability makes these vacuums suitable for diverse cleaning needs across different environments.

Overall, the Sanitaire 800 and 600 series offer an impressive combination of power, filtration, durability, and user-friendly design, making them an excellent choice for professional cleaning applications.
