Choosing a Nilfisk vacuum cleaner

Many loyal Nilfisk users get a little confused when trading in their loyal old GA70's, GS90's & GS80's.

Well Help is now at hand.......Ive had so many people come to me with problems, because they think they have traded up to the new plastic extremes, powers and action machines. They have not been getting the reliability or long life they enjoyed with the old traditional Nilfisk models.



I'm not sugesting that the new model's mentioned are particularly bad and there is definatley a place for them, in fact the Extreme got a reccomendation from non other than which magazine. All im sugesting is that if you want something similar to what you had and loved, cherished and reccomended to you friends, follow this guide and you wont go far wrong.



If you had the older models or are thinking of finally putting your old Nilfisk beast out to pasture, you wont be dissapointed with the following Nilfisk models.



GM80c or GM80P replace the following models....GA70, GS/GM80, GS81 range



Family CDF2000 & Business CDB3000 replace the GS/GM90 range.



Extreme Range replace the GM200/300/400 & GM500 King range.



If you follow this guide, you wont go far wrong with your choice and will avoid disapointment.



If you are a small house or flat dweller, you may want to go for the smaller range of action, power and coupe models. Most of the new plastic models have HEPA filtration for your Allergy sufferers, but the bigger models also or can be fitted with HEPA filters.



Even better, if you have a big house/Family and have animals, why not go for a Nilfisk Commercial model, you may be surprised how cost effective they are, the guarantee is shorter but it will likley last longer than your longer warranted Domestic model.

New Nilfisk Egholm outdoor machine

I've just returned from the Nilfisk training centre in Italy, this was a product training session hosted by Nilfisk for the most prominent Nilfisk UK dealers.

One of the items that stood out was their new acquisition, the New Nilfisk city ranger outdoor range of cleaning machines. It's not just a road sweeper but a snow clearing machine and a ground care machine. Amazingly, with no technical training whatsoever, the operator can transform this machine from a road sweeper to a snow plow in a matter of minutes, no tools required either.

City Ranger 2200

The City Ranger 2200 is a utility machine with a complete range of special attachments that allows you to work outdoors, all year round. Sweeping and vacuuming in spring and autumn, mowing grass and lawn-edge cutting in the summer, sweeping snow, and spreading gravel, salt and sand in the winter. The City Ranger 2200 is market tested, effective and very professional. Designed for versatility, this user-friendly machine is extremely reliable and exceedingly comfortable to operate. Easy attachment changeover Attachments can be changed quickly and easily. The attachment system has a single lock and release lever – one click and the attachment is on. In less than a minute. Hoses and couplings are hidden (thus well-protected) and the hydraulics and water supply, power and vacuum hose connect automatically. Operating abilitiesThe City Ranger 2200 is equipped with a hydraulic automatic throttle. It automatically controls acceleration and the machine has a transport speed of up to 21 km/h. The attachment follows the terrain and its weight is partially distributed over the machine’s front wheels for perfect machine-attachment weight transmission. Ensuring exceptionally good traction, stability and great results. Highly-ManoeuvrableThe City Ranger 2200 is articulated, so it can keep close to edges and turn sharp corners. Strength, power and transmissionThe City Ranger 2200 has strong traction. With a 34-horse power engine, four-wheel drive and excellent weight distribution, combined with a low point of gravity and a large axle base, the outdoor utility machine is safe and reliable – no matter where or how much work it is doing. It is stable on all terrains. MaintenanceThe City Ranger 2200 is designed for daily maintenance, so everything is easily accessible. No need to dismantle attachments. The water, oil, air filter and battery can be checked just by lifting a single cover. EnvironmentThe City Ranger 2200 is environmentally sound – today and tomorrow. Quiet when operating and practically vibration-free. It is designed for use with an exhaust particle filter and catalytic converter, and can use biological hydraulic oil. The machine is far less harmful to the environment than the minimum levels set by the EU. ComfortThe City Ranger 2200 is an ergonomically-designed outdoor utility machine. The cab is spacious, with visibility on all sides, and the entry-opening is low and wide. The wheel and seat are fully-adjustable to suit the operator. The seat has suspension (with optional pneumatic suspension) and is very comfortable to sit in. All the operating controls – including the joystick for controlling the attachments – are positioned optimally for the operator. Air-conditioning is available as an optional feature. When you change attachments, the City Ranger 2200 hydraulic hoses are connected at the turn of a handle!

It's truly a new innovative product. If I were a landscaping company, this would be the way to go, you no longer need to be a slave to the seasons, as this is truly a machine for all seasons, no longer do you need to buy a different machine for sweeping, snow clearing and ground care. Small enough to fit on a standard trailer, it has to be road registered if you need to take it on the road, but is MOT exempt. It Is 4wd and articulated for excellent maneuverability.
