Electrolux EUR 886 Sanitaire 12 Inch Vacuum

Meet the Electrolux EUR 886 Sanitaire—a commercial-grade upright vacuum built for heavy-duty cleaning in offices, schools, hotels, and high-traffic homes. This 12-inch cleaning path machine delivers consistent, powerful suction through a robust motor system designed for extended daily use. The traditional upright design focuses on durability and performance over convenience features, making it a workhorse for professional cleaning crews and homeowners who prioritize deep-cleaning power. The EUR 886 excels on wall-to-wall carpeting and large open areas where its 12-inch cleaning width covers ground efficiently. At 21.6 pounds, this vacuum brings substantial weight that helps drive the brush roll deep into carpet fibers for thorough dirt extraction. The commercial-grade construction means fewer plastic components and more metal parts that withstand repeated use and occasional bumps against furniture or walls. This Sanitaire model fits commercial cleaning operations, large homes with extensive carpeting, and users who clean infrequently but thoroughly. The trade-off for commercial durability is clear: significant weight makes stairs challenging, and the focus on carpet performance means hard floors aren't the primary strength. If your cleaning style involves quick daily touch-ups, lighter cordless options work better—but for deep, weekly carpet cleaning across large areas, the EUR 886's motor power and brush action deliver professional results.
