My new vacuum

[Bryce C]

Check this thing out. I got it used in mint condition for $75. It works great and seems like it was very well taken care of.

The plastics on it seem like they are much stronger and more sensibly designed for durability than my Lindhaus. I'll use it for the first time today. I've heard ProTeam vacuums are generally pretty good...

Bags are cheap, does a decent job for a vacuum. You're able to turn off the brush roll. Hose is shorter than a Windsor Sensor, but better than a WorkHorse or ClearTrak.

When people ask me which is the best vacuum, I always reply with "The one that gets used"

You got a deal. They rank up there with the Clark Combi Vac for less money. The hose and wand on the combi vac is more user friendly. Dang things are really expensive though

Start saving for another vacuum later down the road. I went through several of those

Allot of plastic underneath. The chamber that connects the very bottom hose to the removable tube is very narrow and you’ll experience blockage on the bad jobs. The vacuum bag is too small so keep several extra bags with you.

And when it’s time to remove the bottom plastic cover to do maintenance, get a long Phillips drill bit for a couple of those deep hole screws to save wrist fatigue. It’s a bitch to remove.

Like I said before, plan for another vacuum this time next year

NO, you can buy a grabber at Home Depot that will fit in that tube and pull any clog you get out . We put one in every closet at our schools. Large paper clips will get lodged but still flow, until it Won't!!! Grabber time. We don't have time to unclog everyone's vacuum!!!!

Tell me more about this grabber Kenny. All I found is variations of these things at Homedepot, and that won't fit in my vacuum cleaner tube. Are you talking about some other kind of bendy pokey grabby device?

Ive used a wire snake to push/ grab clogs from vacuums in the past. The windsors have a small spring loaded door in the beater brush unit where you can push a clog twards the brush and roll it backwards to roll the clog out

I'm the custodial coordinator for the schools in my county and that is genius because half of my vacuum problems are just clogs. I'm buying some grabbers today to hand out to all of my schools. Thank you for that idea Kenny

You're welcome

Google wire grabber. It's 24" long
with 4 claws at the bottom and a button on the top to open the claws. It takes a little practice to make it work down that tube that you can't see, but it works. 10 bucks at HD

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Bryce, actually you can buy one of those just in case, but we're making much to do over nothing. Keep your
bag changed before it gets close to full. You're not vacuuming classrooms and trying to pick up all sorts of things with your vacuum. ENJOY your ProTeam!

Woody, you're killing my happy vibes with my new vacuum, but it's ok I need reality checks often, keep em coming. I'll keep the Windsor in mind when I am ready to spend close to full price on a vacuum again Dwain-o. Thanks for the tip on the grabber Kenny!

Thanks guys! Happy vacuuming.
