- ProTeam ProForce 1500XP Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with HEPA Media Filtration, Commercial Upright Vacuum with On-Board Tools, Corded

Got it to replace a 2 year old Shark navigator, which was disappointing and very loud. As a retired physicist I had both at home a sound meter and particle counter. Important that it be quiet and not dusty (allergies). Hey. Sound levels match spec of 68 decibels with floor brush running. 62 with it off (settings II and I). Helps filter output air pristine even while vacuuming a dusty carpet with brush on. So they actually deliver sound levels and filtering. (Some other brands some users believe they really don't). Solid built, easy to use. Great suction. Good beater. Easy to change bags. Pretty quiet. A lot of unit weight is in the long heavy duty cord, so in use it is not as bad as the total weight might suggest. Their bags filter better twice as good than a non name comparable bag. So to protect motor I would suggest proteam branded bags

Awesome product! Ive been Using the brand for almost 20 years, because i use it everyday in my business we change it every several years. This vacuum is very highly recommended.

I bought the Proteam Xp1500 a few months ago. We have a carpet cleaning business and vacuuming is one of the most important parts of our cleaning process because removing as much dry soil before applying cleaning solution is key to deliver best results for our customers. This vacuum is well built and a true commercial vacuum. It has Four HEPA filters a on board system that tells you when the vacuum has a obstruction where something is cutting down suction. So you know that it’s running at best performance. Also I didn’t think id like it being a bag type but the bag will completely fill up to the top before it loses suction and the tells you its time to change bag which is easy and not messy at all. The 50 foot power. Cord is the best. I would highly recommend this vacuum to any professional or home owner that wants good quality and durability.

This is an apparent improved version of the legendary Prolux machine as some parts will interchange and the basic design identical. The machine is surprisingly quiet. You can actually hold a normal conversation with it running. Suction is far better than our previous Prolux. The only thing we have to get accustomed to is the transition from tile floor to carpet is a little tricky. IT cleans far better than any other machine we've had. Works fabulous on tile as well as carpet. IT is a little heavier than I expected but not a lot. The 50ft cord is a good feature. Since our previous unit was a Prolux, we already know about how it can be top heavy but once you've used it, it's not an issue.The handle design is great on the hand and the flip switch makes it easy to switch from suction only to beater bar/brush for carpet. The unit is great at getting under things as it will almost lay flat on the floor. Getting under tables and desks is not a problem. If you are looking for an upright, one that will last a LONG time, easy to use, powerful, here's your machine! And considering the Amazon price, it's a bargain too.Strong recommendation! UPDATE! Well, it was too good to be true. There is a design defect and it's going to cost you money again and again. The bezel that holds the switch that you'll be rolling back and forth has only 2 screws that are on each side of the bezel. The bezel breaks at the screws. There's absolutely nothing to hold the vacuum hose other than air and there's nothing to hold the switch either-it rocks back and forth in the bezel and eventually breaks. ProTeam will warrant the part for 3 years but you have to take it to their authorized dealer for replacement. That's a 70 mile one way trip for us. No, they won't ship the part to you unless you want to buy it. The cost of the bezel and handle was over 30 bucks and whoever designed the electrical wiring that runs thru the handle and bezel is clueless. This should be redesigned by somebody that actually uses a vacuum and has a clue how to wire a switch. I don't recommend this machine as it's a fail waiting to happen.

12/7/2020 --Thought I would give this brand a try. Spouse wanted a light weight vacuum. You can't have light weight and great cleaning power in one vac - it doesn't exist. I'd read all the reviews on this vac, so I knew what to expect. this vac weights 2.5 pounds less than our previous upright vac - going in the right direction. From the beater bar hinge up, it's much heavier than our previous Eureka upright. This leads to instability when it's in the upright position. I have a big scar on the wall to prove how easily it tips over. If they'd just added 2 inches "behind" the beater bar hinge and moved the rear wheels back - this wouldn't be a constant problem. The concentrated weight above the beater bar hinge weighs on your hands and arms when you're using the vac. It's noticeably different and heavier. The piano hinge compartment at the top of the upright body - also has the hose inlet - and many have complained that junction breaks frequently. The hose coupling and hose have to move 90 degrees when the lid is opened to change the bags. this leads to stress on the connection and hose. Think about repeatedly flexing your headphone connector over it's lifetime. thought I'd ordered the 15" beater bar, but had actually ordered the 12" in. It's narrow, but does a GREAT job on our heavy carpet floors. Just takes more passes. The upright is lowered by placing your foot on the beater bar and pulling back and down on the upright handle. The beater bar is vertically much smaller than the previous Eureka - so it can get under things easier, but the upright body prohibits getting too far under furniture. Not a problem for us. It does look commercial. Love the 40 foot cord - but it's dynamic bright yellow - workplace safety no doubt. The body is battleship gray.. It's out of sight most of the time - so not a factor for us. You can see from the picture the rear wheel hinge point and center of balance is too far to the rear - leading to very easy tip overs of the vacuum. Also the top part of the upright handle has to be "hammered"/forced onto the lower shaft. It's very tight, if you don't have it lined up perfectly - you'll get a giant crease like I did..Beater bar seems to skimp on the nylon bristles.. but cleans well. We thought the noise level was fine. Overall, at this point, I'd give it about a 7. Nice try, but falling short in several human factors and ergonomics areas. I change the bags on my vacs freqently. Love that this is a HEPA vac...

We have our own cleaning business and were looking for a good vacuum for some office cleaning. Very powerful vacuum. It's not loud like other vacuums and we love the 50 foot cord. We can often clean an office without ever changing plugs. We also like that it has a three year warranty.

Excellent vacuum! We use it in our business and it handles all the jobs with ease. Very Robust and well built

Great power and warranty can even increase term through amazon warranty offer. One thing to note is you need to purchase additional bags ASAP as only 2 are provided with the product! just FYI. Otherwise, it's a good buy.

I have a clean business. It holds up well

this is a great vacuum
