Sanitaire SC3683A review

Sanitaire SC3683A Vacuum Review and Test

Posted on May 22, 2022June 19, 2022 by admin

 

If you have laminate or laminate floors, the biggest headache is keeping these floors dust-free.

One option might be to use a vertical tool to clean these pesky rabbits of dust. Another option is to purchase a cordless vacuum cleaner to get rid of wires.

Good compromise

But if you don’t mind the wires, the Sanitaire SC3683A would be a good compromise because it doesn’t weigh nearly as much as a full size upright. And you don’t risk running out of power in the middle of a cleaning session.

This is a cylinder broom designed to clean hard floor surfaces as well as area rugs (and very low pile carpets).

If you are in a home that has no carpeting or has very little carpet, this machine may be the lightweight solution you are looking for.

good quality product

By the way, Sanitaire is owned by Electrolux that has been in business for several decades, so the quality of this product is very good.

Keep in mind that this is a packaged vacuum cleaner, so you will have to buy replacement bags but they are fairly inexpensive for less than $1 per bag.

And while it doesn’t come with a HEPA filter, it has a hermetic system that prevents most allergens from escaping through the exhaust. Also, you can purchase HEPA filters separately for less than $20 if you or anyone in your household has allergies.

What do you expect from this lightweight case?

Features

Compact and maneuverable would be my first impression when I saw this vacuum.

And when you look at the stats, it weighs only 10 pounds which is the same as a cordless vacuum but remember it has a 20 foot cord.

Great for the open floor

This machine is specially designed for bare floor surfaces. When you look at the main floor extension, it does not have a motorized brush roll that you will need to move the carpet and clean it deeply.

If your home has wood surfaces that are prone to scratches, this enclosure is a great option because the risk of scratching them is minimal due to the lack of brushes.

No motorized brush

It just relies on suction to get the job done. And there’s decent suction (135 cubic feet per minute) from the 10 amp motor.

The floor tool can also be used on low-pile carpets and area rugs. You will need to push a lever to push the brush down for agitation. It won’t clean deep even though it only picks up surface dirt.

Apart from the floor tool, it comes with other accessories for cleaning above the floor.

These tools include a crevice tool, a dusting brush, and an upholstery nozzle. So you can clean your entire house with this machine.

It does not come with a HEPA filter but you do have the option to buy one if you are concerned about allergens or have a condition like asthma. HEPA filters will cost less than $20.

bare floor performance

This machine will pick up large debris such as cherry and finer things such as dust on the exposed floor without any problems thanks to the powerful 10A (1200W) motor that has a suction power of 130 cubic feet per minute.

It won’t match a Shark Rocket or Dyson DC59 but since you’re only using this on the bare floor, that should be enough.

carpet performance

Don’t expect this carpet to deep clean because it doesn’t have a motorized brush or suction to do so. Use this only on carpets with a very low pile or area rugs.

upholstery performance

I mentioned earlier that the SC3683A comes with an upholstery nozzle that is great for cleaning fabric upholstery. If you have leather upholstery, you can use a brush or brush to remove dirt or dust.

Pet hair removal

This machine can also clean pet hair but only on floors, furniture and upholstery. Don’t expect to pick up hair from the rug.

Attachments and accessories

Comes with a total of 4 attachments (see below) with a 7-foot hose and telescopic wand.

rope length

The cord is approximately 20 feet long but does not have any wire to rewind.

Filter cleaning and maintenance

There are no filters to clean as this is a packaged vacuum cleaner but you need to replace the HEPA filter once every 6 months.

Guarantee

Sanitaire backs this up with a 2-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

When you look at reviews on Amazon, consumers who give high ratings love the combination of compact size, versatility, and suction power. Even if it doesn’t match Dyson’s suction, it still does a decent job on exposed floor surfaces.

One consumer in particular said that when you’d better get that commercial red vacuum that costs an extra $40 because it has a more powerful motor and higher quality hose.

This versatile caddy is capable of cleaning stairs and zoning the area. A HEPA filter is a great addition especially for people who suffer from asthma or any respiratory conditions.

It also comes with a shoulder strap to free your hands to do other things.

Downsides to this case include a short 20-foot power cord and a floor tool that doesn’t have large wheels to aid in terms of maneuverability. Another complaint is the quality, with many consumers complaining about poor quality plastic due to its tendency to break prematurely or fall off if you don’t install it securely.

Overall despite the complaints, the majority of consumers still recommend this vacuum cleaner for homes with bare floors and some area carpets due to its weight, small size and convenient suction.

Plastic attachments worry me in the long run because they can crack if you’re not careful.

Where can I buy this?

You can buy this vacuum cleaner on Amazon for less than $110. And you’ll be eligible for free 2-day shipping if you join Prime.

to finish

This product would be a great budget option for small to medium sized homes with mostly bare floor (hardwood, tile, etc.).

It has enough suction power to clean dust and allergens that often cause headaches on hard surfaces.

The floor tool is small enough to get deep into the areas under the bed or sofa where the vertical vacuum cleaner is hard to install, and it’s too bad even though it doesn’t have a headlight.

It also has a 7ft hose and telescopic wand plus 3 other attachments which makes it great over the floor cleaner.

Since this is advertised as a commercial vacuum, it should be able to withstand the rigors of daily cleaning for years to come. One consumer said you should opt for this over the non-commercial version because the attachments seem sturdier.

The bottom line is that this lightweight vacuum cleaner is a great choice for homes with mostly bare floor surfaces.
