Recently I've been in the market for a brand new "daily driver" upright vacuum. After a bit of searching around for all the features, I want on it I found an amazon listing for this Prolux vacuum. I've literally never heard of this brand before and can't figure out if it is owned by someone or independent. This vac has everything I want on an upright and seems of good quality but I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the brand/this particular vacuum before I bite the bullet.

Wait?
Great Vacs (The Ebay Vacuum shop) makes these? HUH? I could have sworn someone told me that Essco makes these. I know they make Cirrus (I own a Cirrus and LOVE IT). I almost got a Prolux but I was told they were somewhat cheaper construction. But they look freaking IDENTICAL almost to my Cirrus | ||

Yeah, no idea on this brand - but based on their trademark information - the Prolux name, as well as the GreatVacs website is owned by a LLC called "Rocky Mountain Vacuum Brokers" out of Jordan Utah. They, in turn, are owned by a CEO named Robert Kelley out of Missouri, who owns "The Avad Group" which is a licensing and patent rights legal office. It looks like ProLux came about fairly recently, first use in commerce was 1/1/2013.
trademark.trademarkia.com/prolux... www.trademarkia.com/compa... I'm sure the vacuum is a great vacuum - but not because of the company that made it - but because it's a watered down homologation of vacuums that came before. It looks like a Kenmore Intuition, a NSS Pacer, and a Riccar upright had a baby. | ||

The Cirrus line are the direct replacements of the Evolution Prestige line, also known as Bernina, Morse, etc. They're about three times the improvement over their predecessor line. I would much rather have a Cirrus anyday over a Prolux.

Well
Prolux company website sells the vacuum. The vacuum is linked to great vacs. If great vacs doesn't make it then someone makes it for them and it's a rebranded vac for great vacs.
It's similar to cirrus. It is sold in great vacs web site and there rocky mountain website. The Amazon seller is rocky mountain company. If it's not made it most definitely sold as a house vac for great vacs/rocky mountain company. Is there a vacuum made in the usa? | ||

My Cirrus
Is a Cr-75 or 79 (I always forget the exact #) It's green. It's going on 3 years old. I find it to be a really sturdy vacuum. I have zero issues with the build quality. I remember ALMOST getting a Prolux but ended up getting the Cirrus. The HEPA bags are great and last a LONG time. I've changed the belt twice. You must get in the habit of not picking the vacuum up by the handle but instead by the top of the bag chamber handle instead. I was warned about that before buying it. I've read some bad reviews about the handle breaking because people carry it by the handle. One other thing, on the bottom metal plate there is a built in Squeegee and over time, that will wear down. I don't care because when I vacuum hard floors, I just park the vacuum and take the hose out and connect it to a 12 foot universal extension hose I bought with it for above floor and hard floors. I never even touch the tools that came with the machine. I just use the ones that came with the extension hose. They are so much better.

And by incorporating 'lux into their name, they wouldn't be trying to sow brand confusion with those other vacuums that use the 'lux suffix, would they? Nah, they wouldn't do that. It wouldn't be ethical and we know companies don't do unethical things, right?
Les, there is indeed a brand of vacuum still made in USA and that would be Kirby. | ||
