The Bank Heavy Duty Review

Let's start with the plusses. This is a beast when it comes to cleaning carpeting of all different pile levels and types. My rugs and carpeting are even cleaner than with my Dyson, due to strong suction and very sturdy brushes on this machine. They leave the pile nicely fluffed up, too.

The vacuum's entire base is rimmed with a non-marking bumper, preventing damage to furniture and baseboards. But the bumper still allows you to get right into the edges of the carpeting next to the baseboards.

The magnet bar does pick up those pesky paper clips and other metallic items you might not spot before you run over them, grabs them and prevents them from getting into the machinery.

It's very easy to adjust the vacuum to different pile levels. You just click the dial on the front of the base to one of the higher of the six levels, turn on the vacuum and then click down until you hear the vacuum hum. That tells you that the brushes are now in contact with the pile and you're ready to roll. Unfortunately, this hint isn't in the manual that comes with the machine. I learned this from the very helpful video I found online about this vacuum cleaner.

For a relatively heavy vacuum, I found the Bank pretty easy to push around; at least it was easier than I expected it to be, given its weight. Still, it certainly requires more effort than my Dyson canister. Also, its back wheels are smaller in diameter than I think is optimal. You can tilt the machine back onto those back wheels for transport, but the wheels are so small that there is only a small range of tilt where this works. Also, on my machine, the wheels are squeaky when you move backward (when vacuuming, not when transporting).

Though the product description doesn't make it clear, this is a commercial machine. It has an extremely lengthy cord (40 feet) with a 3-prong plug. This vacuum is intended purely for cleaning floors. There are no attachments to clean upholstery or other surfaces. The machine uses large-capacity HEPA filter bags. Though the vacuum handle can be lowered quite a long way to get under furniture, it's designed to go under typical office/hotel type furniture, not home furniture. It won't fit under most bureaus in a home, for example. The belt is one of the easiest to access and attach of any vacuum I've every used. The assembly on the underside of the base can be accessed by taking off a couple of screws. This allows cleaning if the machine gets grimy or greasy, for example when cleaning bowling alleys or movie theaters.

Though you'll only put this vacuum cleaner together once, it's worth commenting on that process and on the parts that go into this vacuum. The vacuum comes in just a few pieces. The vacuum base, two shaft pieces, two cord clips and the bag. Included in the box is an extra belt and an extra HEPA bag. My unit came with a HEPA bag already loaded in the external bag.

Assembly is fairly easy, but the assembly instructions aren't as clear as they could be. While the wording is fine, the pictograms are not that clear. For example, it's obvious that the two clips for the cord to be wrapped around are different, but the pictograms don't make it clear which one goes where. A close reading of the manual's written instructions does reveal that the larger clip goes on top (which makes sense, since it's the one that rotates, allowing the wound-up cord to be slipped off).

The manual's pictograms also don't explain that the cord should be attached up the shaft by going inside these clips. This is mentioned in the written instructions, and if you miss doing that before you attach the clips, they can be removed to put the cord behind them. However, the clips are plastic and I can imagine that they might break if taken on and off. I do have some concerns about the durability of these plastic pieces and the plastic tongue that holds the spring at the top of the bag to the vacuum handle.

The bottom of the bag connects to the rear of the vacuum base, with a metal tongue that goes into a slot and a metal hook that you rotate to go around a rivet. I could not get this to work on my vacuum because the hook rotated about one-quarter of an inch above the rivet. After trying this several times and cursing awhile, I tried bending the slot back. Though it is metal, I was able to do that, which made the tongue go in just far enough further down that the hook did grab the rivet.

SUMMARY: This is a sturdy vacuum that should perform well in commercial settings. Accessibility of the mechanical components is a plus. Assembly instructions could be clearer and some components, like the plastic clips and the small rear wheels, could be improved.
