Sanyo SC-S700P Powerhead Canister Vacuum Cleaner - GoVacuum Review Series
Sanyo SC - S700P Vacuum Review
We were very impressed with the cleaning ability of the Sanyo SC-S700P vacuum, especially for a canister with a powerhead and a price tag below $200. If you are looking for a budget vacuum canister, ideal for in between cleanings and for smaller spaces, this machine can serve your needs.
The Sanyo SC-S700P is a light weight canister that comes with an electric power nozzle for cleaning rugs and carpets. The machine also includes a variable speed motor control, which allows you to adjust how much suction power you want to clean with. This is ideal when cleaning delicate oriental rugs or your drapes!
With a full 12 amp motor, this machine provides plenty of suction power for cleaning even the most embedded dirt and dust. The internal wiring of the power nozzle makes removing the hose to clean upholstery and stairs, or using the attachments a breeze! There are no wires to unplug.
When changing from carpet to bare surface floors, you simply have to step on a switch on the power nozzle, that turns the roller brushes off. There is no switching of attachments to go from bare floor to carpets, saving you a lot of time.
The machine, however, does not have the greatest quality of electrical parts. The motor is a very loud motor and should not be expected to last more then 5-7 years. The filtration on the Sanyo SC-S700P is also very poor. With no HEPA Filtration option, this machine should be avoided by any house with allergies or breathing issues. Also the cord is only 17ft long, making you unplug the vacuum frequently during a clean around your house.
This machine is great if you are looking to spend under $200 for a canister vacuum with a power nozzle, there is nothing close in the same price range. But we will tell you, you will get what you pay for. Don’t expect this machine to last forever or perform any cleaning miracles. Knowing these things, the Sanyo could be the right machine for you.
