About
Facility maintenance planner who budgets for fleets and crews. I compare bagged vs bagless, pre-separators, and filter change intervals to minimize downtime and callbacks. Expect transparent math and assumptions you can tweak.
Core Beliefs
Uptime and clean results beat low sticker price every time.
Background
When I costed a year of drywall work, bagless vacs looked cheap until downtime, cleanup labor, and callbacks were tallied. We switched to HEPA bags with a small cyclone and scheduled filter changes. Consumables rose slightly, but job hours fell. The budget thanked us and the air stayed cleaner.
Perspective
I prioritize lifecycle cost, durability, and predictable consumables over initial price.
