Product Description:

SC889A Commercial Vacuum

The SC889-A is UL listed for commercial use and is certified by the CRI, which is signified by the CRI Green Label. Its noise level is also controlled at just 69 dB. As such, it is considered as one of the select commercial vacuum cleaners in the market that meets the stringent LEED requirements.The SC889-A has a major advantage over other Sanitaire models, making it the brand’s cream of the crop, thanks to its large 6.1 dry quart capacity.With a single flip of the switch, you can easily move between the normal and the Quiet Clean modes, thanks to the convenient fingertip controls of the SC889-A.The SC889-A uses a special Micron Filter system to capture and retain up to 99 percent of dust and other allergens such as pollen. This system works especially with ST 63213 disposable bags that help ensure the dust and dirt don’t escape even when the bag is disposed of.It is easy to replace the dust bag thanks to the easily accessible dual zipper bag design.The SC889-A’s motor comes in two speeds, a low and a high speed, so you can use the setting that’s most appropriate to the task at hand.As part of the Quiet Clean series, the SC889-A is designed with the cooperation of ARM & HAMMER, the name behind the specially designed vacuum bags that the model uses. 

The ARM & HAMMER vacuum bags are noted for their ability to retain fine dust particles, even those that are microscopic in size. However, the best feature of ARM & HAMMER dust bags is how it also neutralizes odor in the atmosphere. The SC889-A, therefore, does not just clean the air, but also freshens it up.With a 50-foot power cord, the SC889-A is capable of cleaning large areas without having to stop every once in a while to change outlets.Users can choose from 6 different heights to match the height or thickness of the floor surface that they are cleaning. If you are cleaning thick, heavy pile carpets, then you can set the vacuum cleaner at its highest level.At just 16.6 lbs., the SC889-A is lighter than its contemporaries.
