Our take on the TRADITION Upright Vacuum SC688B

The Sanitaire TRADITION SC688B is a bagged commercial upright built for daily carpet cleaning. Its 7-amp motor is rated at 145 CFM and 2,000 hours, and it carries the CRI Gold Seal of Approval. A 12-inch cleaning path, 50-foot cord and 17-pound body suit offices, classrooms, small retail floors and hotel corridors. It has no on-board tools and runs at 79 dBA, so it is best used after hours with a separate canister for edges. Against bagless commercial uprights, it trades convenience for sealed bag disposal and simple upkeep: the chrome VGII brush roll has replaceable bristle strips, and the brush roll and belt change without tools.

About the TRADITION Upright Vacuum SC688B

The Sanitaire TRADITION SC688B is a commercial bagged upright vacuum with a 12-inch (30.5 cm) cleaning path. Its cleaning performance carries the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Gold Seal of Approval. It is made for daily carpet care in places like offices, classrooms, small retail floors and hotel corridors.

A 7-amp, 840-watt motor produces 145 CFM of airflow and is rated for 2,000 hours. Debris collects in a 6.1-quart Style ST disposable synthetic bag, and a dual-zipper pull makes bag changes quick. The vacuum has no separate filter and no on-board tools.

The chrome VGII brush roll uses replaceable bristle strips. The brush roll and belt can both be replaced without tools. The 50-foot cord reduces outlet changes. The vacuum weighs 17 lb and runs at 79 dBA, which suits it to after-hours cleaning more than occupied spaces.
