Sweeper City

The owner Bill is great and really knows his sweepers. I have a very heavy Hoover Wind Tunnel and the transmission is going so it is very hard to push and pull. I have chronic pain and was looking around at various smaller sweepers. Sweeper City has a great selection of refurbished sweepers, but while I was in there Bill asked what was my most important feature and I told him about how much it hurt to run the sweeper. I said he had the exact thing and showed me a Riccar, which I'd hadn't heard of before, and let me try it out. I've had it a year now and love it! The only down side is it doesn't have attachments, so I still drag the Windtunnel around when I need those. I still go in whenever I need a belt. They are the same price as Amazon but for another $10-$15 they will put the belt on for you. Some of those belts are so hard to get on. I also had a problem with my Windtunnel recently; it was making a funny noise. I took it in, and even though they were pretty busy, and young lady turned on my sweeper and got down on the floor and listened to it and then swept with is a little. She said she was pretty sure the brush roller was worn and took it in the back. They brought our my roller and a new one and it was obvious that the grove on mine was worn so the belt was moving around. It cost me about $20-$30 for a new roller and to have them put it on. They are all very nice at Sweeper City and I highly recommend them. There aren't many people who will actually repair sweepers anymore and we have friends who come all the way from Pittsburgh.

This is a family run business. The customer service is excellent. I bought a Riccar sweeper for $300 there. I told Bill that I have chronic pain and he showed me this sweeper that weighs only 8lbs and works great. I love it but it doesn't have attachments (which would make it heavier). They sell all brands of vacuums, even the high end ones, but they also have a huge selection of refurbished vacuums that will save you money. I most recently took my old Hoover Windtunnel in because it was making a funny noise. A girl (sorry I didn't get her name) plugged it in, turned it one and got down on the floor and listened to it. She then ran it a few times and knew exactly what was wrong. The brush bar was too worn and the belts weren't being held in position correctly. I didn't even know that could happen! While I waited they installed a new one for an extra $15, which I thought was a bargain because those belts are so hard to get on with that sweeper. I rate them an A+ and hope they stay in business forever.

I called Sweeper City and gave a short list of my needs in a vacuum. They held one for me that they felt would be a good one for me. I found it lacked a long, long extension wand which I need in my work(cleaner). Mr. Eisenman made one for me. The experience was so good there, I have to promote this company.
