Carpet
Pro Model CPU-2T: A funny story of how I met my Vacuum.
Choosing a vacuum for your home can
be a daunting task, given the sheer amount of name brands and types out
there. We have all seen those really
cool Dyson commercials, narrated with a European accent, and we were compelled
to ditch our bagged vacuums for newer, trendier bagless vacuum’s, that glides
effortlessly around table legs and book shelves. I was one of those people too! But I had no
idea if a bag-less vacuum would be a benefit or not. To a layperson, one may conceive, as I did,
that going bag-less would be a convenient alternative to buying bags all the
time. This may be a good choice for some
people, but for me, I’m not letting go of my bags just yet! You can research the mechanism of a bag-less
vacuum, which is very similar to the way bagged vacuum works. According to How Stuff Works, a janitor by
the name of James M. Spangler invented the modern, bagged vacuum in 1907. Through the years, vacuums have evolved into the
heavy weights you see today like Dyson, Hoover, Carpet Pro and Fuller Brush,
among others. As with a bagged vacuum,
bagless vacuums draw in air through an intake valve. However, once your
carpet's dirt and dust is inside the vacuum chamber, centrifugal force is used
to separate particles from the airstream. These particles are flung outward
against the chamber wall, falling into a collection cup as the air leaves the
chamber and exits the vacuum through an exhaust port. Aside from the mechanics
of the differing dust-collection methods, bagged and bagless vacuums are
otherwise similar.

I kept
researching which was the best vacuum brand to buy, bagged or bag-less and
found the answer, to my surprise, at Church.
No, it was not divine intervention, more simply, a sound, or lack there
of. I was making a delivery at a local
Church in Houston, as I walked past the Chapel into the Church offices, I heard
a very soft “hmmmmmmm” sound that emanated from the middle office with the
light turned on, across from the gift shop.
I needed someone to sign for my delivery so I crept closer to the
office. To my surprise, a very nice
older lady was, vacuuming her office. I
knocked and said “Wow, I had no Idea that’s what you were doing!, that thing is
very quiet.” Given, at this point, I’m
in her office and the hum turned into a small air suction sound, but nothing
like the sounds I’m used too. (My old vacuum was so loud, you can
tell I’m cleaning the carpets if you are in my back yard and I have all my
doors and windows closed) She replied
“Oh yeah, had this thing for years, never gave me any trouble.” It also helped that the vacuum was a bright
yellow color with it’s brand name across the front saying “Carpet Pro”. She had the Carpet Pro Model CPU-2T (the best
Model and Bang for your buck, as I soon found out). It was a Commercial Unit, looked very heavy
duty, and was relatively quiet. I told
her I was in the market for a new Vacuum and she immediately looked at me with
a sparkle in her eye, the same sparkle a sales man would get and said “Well I’m
so Glad you’re here! , I’ve been so excited with this one I bought a few years
ago.” She took her glasses off and said “Come here, I want to show you
something”, as she exited her office. I
heard a soft voice in the hallway, saying “Bring the vacuum, you don’t have to
unplug it”. Me, being the nice Texas Boy
I am, delightfully said “Yes ma’am” and did as I was told. I followed her into a larger break room down
the hall, there she went into closet and brought back a medium sized white box
and placed it on the break room table, which was the Carpet Pro 7 pieceattachment set 05.119 . She said “I’ve kept this church clean all of these
years, even the dust on the top there doesn’t stand a chance”, pointing to the fluorescent
light fixtures atop the ceiling, as she ruffled through the box. In a snap, she pulled a 15 foot blackattachment hose and assembled it to a extendable wand attached to a 10inch widebare floor tool with horse hair brushes.
She proceeded to tell me “Now you can vacuum the tiles”, pointing to the
hallway, “ and all of the spider webs up there in the corners”. Now this was turning into a full-blown
demonstration of Carpet Pro Vacuum, a presentation I did not mind watching, as
she effortlessly extended the Power Wand up the side of the wall.

After a
few more demonstrations with the other attachments, I hear the office phone
ring and we said good bye to each other and I left with a slip of paper with
the carpet pro model number CPU-2T.
That same week, I purchased my Carpet Pro vacuum online along with one
package of replacement bags (Bag # 6.153) , which is a pack of 3.

This
Carpet Pro CPU-2T is amazing! I definitely love the HEPA air filtration, the
air that is spit back into the room feels and smells fresher. I use the 7 piece attachment set to clean my
tiles downstairs and just regular vacuum on the upstairs carpet. Vacuuming the stairs is a breeze with the
crevice tool. Over all, I’ll keep my
vacuums bagged and I’m extremely satisfied with my new Carpet Pro CPU-2T.
