I do not leave reviews. Ever. Good, bad, or indifferent. For years I've used just a simple shop vac for my hardwood floors and an upright for the area rugs. I was feeling ready to invest in a good vacuum and I found one. The powerhead unit has so much suction power that I find myself going over my area rugs at least twice when I vacuum now because it's so satisfying. It was disgusting what came out of my main area rug the first time I vacuumed with my Prolux (insert vomiting emoji). I'm completely in love with the water acting as the filter so that all the junk that goes in the tank stays there and that it acts as an air purifier while I clean. I am legitimately in LOVE with this machine. The whole American made/head quarters was a big factor in my decision as well.
This vacuum has plenty of power and all the attachments you could ever need. The last time I purchased a vacuum was from a door to door salesman in the late 80's. Purchasing this vacuums much easier and less expensive than that purchase, and this vacuum is much easier to move around. Completely happy with the purchase.
The vacuum is great. I love all the attachments that came with the item. It was hard to find the right vacuum we needed. I also like how well it on transitioning from carpet to tile. I feel I got a great deal. Thank you.
The Prolux TerraVac is a great vacuum! Unfortunately I returned it not because of the performance but because my house is so small. If I had a larger space to clean, it would have worked out just great! Thanks to Prolux for their really great customer service. They really came through with quick responses and exactly what I needed and asked for. Great company!
I've only had this for a month, but enjoying it so far. I purchases this for my residential cleaning business in which I was previously using an upright vacuum that was not at all suitable for the workload and did not have the maneuverability needed to get underneath furniture.
-It's light weight, especially compared to other BPVs I've used.
-Easy to take apart and clean.
-Attachments are great and with the wand extension, I can reach spots up high and under furniture without killing my back from having to bend over or hold a heavy cannister in my hand.
-The hose is really long, which has taken some getting used to with my small stature. I do have to wrap the hose across/around my body to make sure I don't knock anything over.
-A bit more maintenance is required to keep this functioning properly, especially on the filter. This is mostly manageable but if I have multiple houses to clean in a day or a home that has a lot of dust and debris, I have to clean it in between rooms or homes. I bring a canned air with me to keep up with it. Regardless, I save so much time vacuuming now that this is a very minor inconvenience for me, and I will probably invest in a few spare filters to carry around for a quick swap.
-Very powerful and I have had zero issues picking up pet hair and other debris that previous vacuums were missing.
Overall, I'm happy with this purchase at this point and I hope that it can be the workhorse I need for my business.
