Sanitaire FORCE QuietClean SC5845D 15″ Bagless Commercial Upright

Description

Sanitaire SC5845D FORCE® QuietClean® Commercial Upright Vacuum is designed for professional environments that need a wide cleaning path, strong airflow, bagless convenience and above-floor cleaning capability in one durable upright. Its 15-inch floor head increases coverage in open carpeted areas, while the 10-amp motor produces 135 CFM of airflow for dependable commercial cleaning.

The SC5845D combines a large 3.5-quart dirt cup, washable HEPA filtration, an extra-long 40-foot detachable power cord and onboard cleaning tools. Sanitaire also rates the FORCE QuietClean platform at approximately 70.6 dBA, making it useful in facilities where cleaning may take place during normal operating hours.

Sanitaire SC5845D Wide-Path Commercial Cleaning

The Sanitaire SC5845D uses a 15-inch cleaning path designed to cover more carpet with every pass.

This wider floor head can improve productivity in large offices, schools, hotels, churches, hallways and other commercial environments where open carpeted areas need frequent cleaning.

15-Inch Cleaning Width

The main difference between the SC5845D and the narrower SC5745D is the cleaning width.

The SC5845D uses a 15-inch cleaning path, while the SC5745D uses a 13-inch path.

For larger open areas, the wider SC5845D can reduce the number of passes needed to cover the same amount of floor.

10-Amp Commercial Motor

The SC5845D uses a 10-amp motor built for routine commercial floor care.

Sanitaire rates airflow at approximately 135 CFM, providing strong air movement for lifting and transporting dirt and debris into the dirt cup.

Bagless 3.5-Quart Dirt Cup

The Sanitaire SC5845D is a bagless upright and uses a reusable 3.5-quart dirt cup.

This eliminates the need to continually purchase disposable vacuum bags and allows the operator to see when collected debris should be emptied.

For facilities with frequent vacuum use, the reusable dirt-cup design can help reduce recurring consumable costs.

Washable HEPA Filtration

Sanitaire equips the SC5845D with washable HEPA filtration.

The manufacturer states that the filter captures 99.97% of particles for cleaner exhaust emissions.

The main washable HEPA filter is Sanitaire part 61840 / HF-5.

Additional Filter Components

The SC5845D also uses additional filtration components within its bagless cleaning system:

• HF-5 washable HEPA filter: 61840
• DCF-3 dirt cup filter: 68903
• Pre-motor filter: 71480

Regular inspection and maintenance of these filters helps support proper airflow and cleaning performance.

CRI Gold Seal of Approval

Sanitaire currently identifies the FORCE SC5845D as carrying the Carpet and Rug Institute Gold Seal of Approval.

The CRI program evaluates vacuum performance factors such as soil removal, dust containment and carpet appearance retention, making the certification especially relevant for professional floor-care environments.

QuietClean® 70.6 dBA Operation

Sanitaire rates the SC5845D at approximately 70.6 dBA.

The QuietClean designation is intended for commercial applications where lower sound output is desirable, including schools, offices, hotels and other facilities where occupants may remain present during cleaning.

40-Foot Detachable Commercial Cord

The SC5845D includes a 40-foot detachable power cord.

The long cord allows larger areas to be cleaned with fewer outlet changes and can improve operator productivity in hallways, conference rooms, classrooms and open commercial spaces.

The detachable design also makes cord replacement more practical if the original cord becomes damaged through repeated commercial use.

10-Foot Stretch Hose

The vacuum includes a 10-foot stretch hose for above-floor cleaning.

The hose provides additional reach for cleaning furniture, stairs, corners, baseboards and other areas that cannot be reached with the main upright floor nozzle.

Onboard Commercial Cleaning Tools

Sanitaire includes:

• 10-foot stretch hose
• Two-piece extension wand
• Crevice tool
• Dusting brush

These accessories allow the SC5845D to handle both carpet cleaning and detailed above-floor work with one machine.

15-Inch True Balance Brush Roll

The SC5845D uses Sanitaire brush roll part 622284.

Sanitaire identifies this as a 15-inch True Balance brush roll compatible with the SC5845 family.

The brush roll is replaceable as normal bristle wear occurs over time.

Replaceable U-Style Belt

The vacuum uses Sanitaire U belt part 66120.

Keeping spare belts available can be useful in commercial cleaning operations where machine downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.

17-Pound Commercial Upright

Sanitaire currently lists the SC5845D at approximately 17 pounds.

The machine is heavier than a basic direct-air commercial upright because it incorporates a dirt cup, HEPA filtration, stretch hose and onboard accessories.

Built for Professional Facilities

The combination of the 15-inch cleaning head, 40-foot cord, large dirt cup, HEPA filtration and onboard tools makes the SC5845D appropriate for:

• Office buildings
• Schools and universities
• Hotels and hospitality facilities
• Churches and community centers
• Retail stores
• Property-management operations
• Professional cleaning contractors
• Commercial facilities with large carpeted areas
