Backpack vacuum cleaners are a great tool for cleaning areas that are hard to navigate especially around office cubicles and furniture. These types of vacuum cleaners were first introduced in the late seventies and early eighties and have come a long way in both design and performance over the last thirty years. The first units were cumbersome, heavy and difficult to work with. Over time motor sizes have decreased in size and increased in performance making these types of vacuums a common item in any janitor closet. If you’re looking for the ultimate backpack vacuum cleaner look no further. The Proteam Super Coachvac vacuum boasts the most power, largest recovery capacity and a top notch arsenal of tools beating any backpack vacuum on the market. Proteam vacuum cleaners have always been renowned for quality and performance but the Super coach goes above and beyond at a price point that might blow the competition away.

At first look the unit is sleek in design with subtle colors that make the vacuum pleasing to look at and blends into every environment for stealthy cleaning even if occupied. The unit itself measures about two feet high and ten inches across. The quality nylon shoulder straps are securely fastened to the canister and can be easily adjusted in a matter of seconds. At eleven pounds the vacuum sits neatly in the middle of the back, does not strain the lower back and expels very little pressure on the shoulders. The on and off switch could have been positioned better by utilizing a extendable cord and switch but hopefully we will see this as an option for future designs.

The vacuum motor is located on the bottom of the unit and is silenced by two micro filters that quiet the vacuum to sixty six decibels which is a common level for units in this class. Proteam have really gone all out with power when it comes to the Super Coach by utilizing a 10.6 amp, 1221 watt motor that creates one hundred cubic feet per minute of lift. The average lift of a backpack vacuum cleaner is 800 cubic feet per minute making the Proteam unit a series contender. The most common problem on backpack vacuum cleaners is the vacuum hose connection to the recovery unit. Sometimes if these bends are at an extreme angle the unit can become clogged easily by larger debris if lint amasses at the bend. The hose curve on the Supercoach is not to radical and has an ample pathway for medium size debris and does not clog with lint in dry conditions.

What makes the Proteam Super Coach vacuum cleaner impressive is the excessive amount of tools and attachments that can be purchased for this machine. No matter what the job Proteam has made a concerted effort to think of every type of cleaning job that a vacuum cleaner can perform. From floors down low to the tallest ceilings, the catalog of tools is well categorized for every cleaning genre.

Kits can be easily purchased from Proteam that are specific to a certain field of cleaning. For hard floors the flooring installation kit is comprehensive in makeup. The kit includes a crevice tool, dust brush, hard floor tool and 2 piece wand that can be taken apart for storage in tight places. The dust brush takes into consideration scratching and is fitted with a felt brush that allows no hard plastic or edges to touch the floor. This attachment is perfect for large residential hardwood floors and tile and will make vacuuming a less daunting task.

If filtration is a concern a HEPA model of the vacuum cleaner is available. The HEPA model carries the same specifications as the base unit for can filter over ninety nine percent of particles out of the air that are larger than one micron. The filtration system features four levels of filtering that total over 845 square inches of total filtration area. HEPA filters are common in hospitals, Green buildings and air quality sensitive areas. With Green cleaning a priority to Proteam they have not only met, but exceed Green levels of cleaning by going the extra mile.

The only drawback to this vacuum cleaner is the awkwardly accessible on and off switch which is located on the canister making you reach behind yourself and feel for the switch. Overall the Proteam Supercoach vacuum cleaner is elite in its class and is a large asset to any cleaning company or clean conscious home owner. At a price point around five hundred dollars it is affordable and is in line with current market prices. If price is a concern Proteam also offers scaled down alternatives which offer a wide variety of attachments and proven performance.
