Hey everyone, wondering if anyone has any experience with either one of these. I knew pro team made back pack vacuums, but was not aware that they also made canisters, are these bagged or bagless? Also, was looking on Amazon and saw a vacuum brand named fuller brush, has anyone ever heard of that and if so, how's the quality. They got some decent reviews. | ||

I've used
A proteam runningvac. It was not quite as powerful as the super coach backpacks, i have a feeling that part of that was due to it using a longer hose. I felt like it was quieter than the backpacks, but according to their website they both run at 66db Maybe it's just because it's further away from your ears. I thought it was an alright vacuum i'd rather use the backpacks due to their superior pickup, but i'd use the runningvac again.

fuller brush canister I wonder if the fuller brush home made canister model is their own product or if it's a rebrand of another company's product. I've actually never heard of that company before. | ||

I've used the Proteam RunningVac canister, and while it does have great suction when everything is clean (new bag, clean filters), it didn't really perform all that well on carpet due to it's lack of power nozzle or any kind of brushes on the floor tool. The bag would only fill around 1/3-1/2 full before losing a great deal of suction, and the vacuum itself was constantly knocking into things. I've also used the backpack version, and had pretty much the same complaints about it- lack of any brush on the floor tool seriously limited it's performance on carpet, loss of suction as the bag filled, and add to that the weight of the thing on your back; not a fan. Both jobs I took in an upright when I needed to vacuum which did the job far better and much easier.

proteam vacuums Interestingly, most pro team vacuums do not have power nozzles, so their performance on carpet is probably not very good. | ||

Backpack performance
They do offer a power nozzle kit with the wessel werk ebk340 for the sierra.
I actually like the performance of their backpack vacuums, we have a few different models at work but the main ones i use are the Super coach 10 and the newer super coach pro 6. The pro has a more powerful motor, post motor hepa filters, a triangular body, and comes standard with the new X-over tool. the new X-over tool is a large improvement over their old carpet glider tool, it picks up denser objects a lot fast (paper clips, pennys, etc) In certain areas i'll exclusively use the backpacks, because they are much easier to maneuver around furniture and desks, without having to worry about a brushroll to gobble up the cords underneath. | ||

central vacuums I have my central vacuum units set up the same way in my apartment, one in each room. Just put a utility valve right on the in take, connect a central vacuum hose and I can clean my entire apartment with the full power of the vacuum since there are no pipes, works great. | ||

Gary, there are central vac brands now that have exhaust HEPA filters as standard or optional equipment now. Nilfisk being one of them, among others. The HEPA filter Nilfisk uses is the Eureka HF9 HEPA filter that was used on the Eureka Victory & Eureka Whirlwind vacuums in the late 90's & early 2000's, since they are manufactured for them by Electrolux AB in Sweden.

Drainvac
they offer different ranges, the Automatik range uses the self flushing water system, they also have a cyclonic series, but most of the units I've seen are bagged.
I used to have a special edition Drainvac, it was powerful, quiet, compact, and used a bag system. It could pull a 7.5 at the end of a 30 ft hanmi hose, for comparison the broan cv40-b, which used two motors pulled 5.5. It was quieter than most portable vacuums.

drainvac units The drainvac unit I was thinking of does not flush in to the sewer system, they do make some models that do that, but the ones I was thinking of are hybrid units, they can use a bag or use a bucket that you empty out. Not sure if I could get one of those autoflush systems to work in an apartment, would have to do some water hook up for that. | ||
