🏢 Buy Professional Commercial Vacuum Cleaners: Upright, Cylinder & Industrial

Commercial machines are engineered for the "duty cycle" of a business—often running for 4 to 8 hours a day. Key differences include:

• Motor Life: Commercial motors (like those in the Numatic PPR range) feature heavy-duty carbon brushes and cooling systems for continuous use.
• Cable Length: Professional units typically have 10m to 12.5m cables for high-productivity cleaning without switching sockets.
• Repairability: Every part on a commercial machine is replaceable. While a domestic vacuum is often "disposable," a commercial machine like a SEBO BS360 can be maintained for decades.

Cylinder vacuums (or "tub hoovers") are pulled behind you and are generally more versatile for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and reaching under low furniture. Uprights are pushed in front of you and often feature a motorised brush bar, making them highly effective for large expanses of thick carpet. For mixed flooring and agile home cleaning, a cylinder is usually the preferred choice.

For hotels, we recommend the SEBO BS or Dart upright range or the Numatic Henry Professional (NRV). Uprights are superior for deep-cleaning large carpeted corridors, while the quiet operation of the Numatic Nilfisk cylinders are ideal for guest-room cleaning during daytime hours.

Not all, but many of our leading models (like the Nilfisk VP400 or Numatic PPR170H) are equipped with HEPA 13 filters. These capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, which is vital for maintaining air quality in hospitals, care homes, and offices.

As UK specialists, we suggest three key strategies:

1. Use Genuine Bags: Universal bags often split or leak fine dust, which clogs the motor and leads to premature failure.
2. Preventative Maintenance: Check the floor tool for hair and the cable for nicks daily to avoid PAT testing failure.
3. Silo the Task: Use a dedicated Wet & Dry vacuum (like the Numatic WVD range) for spills. Using a dry vacuum on damp carpets will instantly ruin the motor and filters.
