FACT: A better vacuum cleaner makes carpets last longer!
Floor covering represents one of the largest homeowner investments. A typical US home has nearly 1200 square feet of carpeting costing an average of $6,938.75. The correct vacuum cleaner can greatly extend the life and beauty of your carpets, while the wrong one can cut its life in half.
Despite its' staggering cost, people give little thought to how to protect their investment. I've seen carpets worn out years before the warranty runs out, simply because their department store vacuum has steadily "shredded" their carpets over time. (Hmm....Is that dog hair in the dust cup, or is that carpet fiber?) Don't expect much sympathy from carpet manufacturers, either. People are surprised to learn that most vacuum cleaners actually void carpet warranties, but Sprague's can show you the ones approved for your specific carpet.
It's about carpet appearance retention. Most carpets don't wear out, they ugly out. This is what's not tested by the consumer magazines and left unsaid by the late night infomercials. It has to clean well WITHOUT damaging your carpet. Cheap vacuums often use aggressive brush rollers to compensate for poor suction motors and bad airflow design.

Cornrowing, bearding, snags & fuzzing are common problems caused by vacuum issues.
Cleaner carpets last longer! Vacuuming isn't just to make your floors "look nice." It's also about removing deeply imbedded grit that wears your carpets from the inside out while also removing soil and harmful allergens. Many cheap vacuums completely fail when it comes to deep cleaning. They remove the surface debris and may even leave nice lines on the floor, but that's about it. Even ones that perform better than average, often use aggressive brush rollers that contribute to premature carpet wear.

Here's the solution. The two factors that are most important in vacuuming are carpet agitation and airflow. Most people overlook carpet agitation, but that's what's missing in todays vacuums. The best vacuums feature high speed steel brush rollers that vibrate carpets creating a "miniature earthquake" drawing deeply imbedded dirt to the surface. Wood brushes also do a good job, but deep carpet agitation is just not possible in cheaply made vacuums with lightweight plastic rollers.
Airflow is more than just suction. Some of the most heavily advertised brands have impressive suction, but still clean poorly. This is because they move a low volume of air and offer poor carpet agitation. A high quality vacuum delivers high airflow, drawing a greater volume of air as they effectively "air wash" the carpet fibers.
When our customers try our machines, they are AMAZED at the difference in performance over the heavily marketed brands. Try it in our store, and then try it in your home risk free for 30 days. If you aren't convinced that it's a better vacuum, we'll give you 100% of your money back.

Sound expensive? Surprisingly, it's not. I carry several quality brands starting at around $200. Some are made in the USA and expected to last for decades. Ask yourself this: Is your carpet wearing out in 5 years when it should last 10? Or is it lasting 10 years when it should go for 20? And how soon would you like to drop another $6,938.75 on carpet?
