How Long Do Commercial Vacuum Cleaners Last?

A commercial vacuum should be an investment for any business, regardless of industry. Having cleaning tools you can trust to handle daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning tasks is essential to your day-to-day operations. Because of this, it is common for business owners and employees to wonder how long their commercial vacuum cleaner will last. Ideally, a commercial vacuum should last at least five to ten years. But there are many factors that impact the lifespan. The brand you work with, how you use the vacuum, and the instructions for maintaining and storing your vacuum can all play a role in its longevity. In this article, we will cover those factors and provide more information on how to extend the lifespan of your commercial vacuum cleaner. For high-quality and durable cleaning equipment for your business and industry, contact our team for recommendations. 

What Vacuum Brands Provide The Longest-Lasting Commercial Vacuum Cleaners?

The first and biggest factor in how long your commercial vacuum will last is what vacuum you buy. Disclosing some obvious bias first, we would recommend Bissell BigGreen Commercial vacuums because they are built to last and built around versatility and ease-of-use. That said, we recognize that there are a handful of commercial cleaning brands that make high-quality cleaning equipment. Our honest recommendation to companies is to do your research, get recommendations, read reviews, and understand that while there are a handful of companies that provide high-quality, long-lasting vacuum cleaners, there are vacuum cleaners that can be poor fits for your business. One easy recommendation we have is to avoid using residential equipment for commercial jobs. Residential vacuums, regardless of brand, are designed for less use than commercial vacuum cleaners. 

The Right Equipment For The Right Job

The next factor that will impact how long your vacuum lasts is how you use it. If you do not follow the manual and instructions, or buy a vacuum that is not designed for your cleaning projects, you can find yourself needing a replacement vacuum quite quickly. Make sure to get recommendations on the right equipment for your business. For example, if you have carpeted floors, you will need a vacuum that can effectively clean carpets. By contrast, if you need to clean fine debris, you need a vacuum cleaner that is designed for that project. Outside of finding the right brand, you need to find the right equipment. 

Replacement Parts & Accessories

One of the annoying reasons that a commercial vacuum’s lifespan can get cut short is accidental damage. For example, if a hose gets a tear or has pinhole leaks, it can render the vacuum cleaner relatively useless. You want to work with a brand where it will be easy to source replacement parts if needed. Here at Bissell BigGreen Commercial we sell everything from screws to casings with schematics and diagrams. Once you purchase a vacuum from us, you can always shop for replacement parts and/or accessories right on the webpage for that vacuum.
