Success Stories
       

I’ve been running the Oneida Vac System for 12 months now and it is the best investment I’ve made in 20 years in this business. The beauty of this system is the narrower hoses that can be used. I can sand 5 times as far with the DCS than with bags and I go home every day as clean as I arrived. Perfect if you have a recoat to do in the afternoon. It paid for itself in the first week as I had customers waiting for it. - M.O. - Australia

No one else is even close to having the solutions Oneida offers. I did a 500 square foot re-sand and finish the last couple of days. I sealed the floor last night, and this morning walked over to the ebony grand piano in the living room. It has a gloss finish, and when I ran my finger across it, there was no dust. No dust! I couldn't have claimed that was possible before, and while I am still reticent about making wild claims about being dustless, I'm getting closer! - D.D - Vancouver, WA

What I've discovered after using your system, besides the fact that it's obviously much cleaner, is that we can be much more thorough on the other steps of the job. We are spending our time on refinishing instead of cleaning up and the end result is a better job for our clients. They can't believe that there really is no dust.The clean up is really more of a spit-n-shine than a clean up. I would never go back to the old way of bags and hanging plastic. I also charge more per square foot now and my customers are happy to pay it. - M.S. - Portland, OR

Since I got this machine, my jobs have been a lot cleaner. Before I had it we used to use extensive plastic covering and it still didn't work. Now I don't hang any plastic. Jobs are extremely clean, we're talking 99% dust-free. Customers love it and it's not that much work to set up at all. It works great with all of my equipment. I'm just completely happy with it. - G.K. - Syracuse, NY

I have used your system on over 50 jobs, every one since I've had it, and I now leave the jobsites at least 95% cleaner than before. My customers have said it's impressive how clean I'm leaving their homes. Before using your system, 90% of my jobs were new construction, now I'm starting to see a lot more sand and refinish work due to the favorable referrals my customers are giving. People are calling up and asking for it. Even my finish work is coming out better because of the non-existance of airborne particles in the air to settle in the finish. My employees are happier, they no longer wear masks and they're not spending the end of the day blowing their noses to get rid of all the "wood boogers." I'd put it up against the Bona system any day. I've got a buddy with their system and I'd put it right next to it and it will do the same job. It's true, the proofs in the pudding. The size and ease of installation allows us to move the unit to upper floors of all projects. Try that with a unit mounted trailer. - R.M. - Amelia, OH

First of all, it makes my job and my workers jobs much healthier because there is much less airborne dust. Most of the dust is sucked directly into the barrel from the sanders. No more dusty bags to contend with, just pull the plastic bag from the barrel and keep the filters clean. There is much less dust build-up around the homes I have worked on. It makes it much easier to leave the jobsite clean because the dust that is left is so minor. Customers of mine have said that they are impressed by how clean I have been leaving the jobsite and they are glad that they hired me for the job. Best of all, they say that they will definitely refer me to others for hardwood floor refinishing. - J.L. - Syracuse, NY

I'm extremely pleased with the way the system worked. Didn't have to put up any plastic at all in the rooms. We got very little dust at all. My wife came home to take a look at it and she was thrilled with the fact that it had no dust at all because she didn't look forward to doing months worth of cleaning and changing the furnace filter every week while we waited for the dust to go away, so we were very happy with the results. - G.B. - Syracuse, NY (Homeowner)

I want to compliment Oneida Vac for a very painless way of having the floors sanded at my home. All of the sanding debris was completely taken out of the house as my floors were being done. It was a job that I was honestly dreading but I can truly recommend this system. - J.P. - Fayetteville, NY (Homeowner)
