Since I installed the new HEPA filter the vacuum runs cooler and suction is stronger. This vacuum has some things that are irritating to deal with, but overall it is the best vacuum I have ever owned. I have always owned Electrolux in the past, but the Prolux is a better vacuum and was half the price I paid for the Electrolux 20 years before.
Great vacuum, useful attachments classic modern design, durable and looking forward to spending a long time together. Thank you Prolux team for wonderful personal rapid service, brilliant engineering improving the technology and most of all pride in your products!
I was really surprised when turning the vacuum on how well it performed. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
No, not quite, but it sure does a number on dirt!. I've wanted a water filtration vacuum for a long time, and when my Dyson started failing I jumped into researching this type of vacuum and settled on the Prolux CTX. A great move! The amount of dirt I pulled up from the bedroom carpets was too disgusting to post a photo. And that was AFTER vacuuming with the Dyson 2 days prior. The water I dumped out literally was black. After vacuuming the hardwood/tile areas, I used the (inappropriately named) "coil/inflation tool" to clean out the dryer lint filter and pulled up massive amounts of lint with that. Finally! A tool to clean the dryer vent too!
I'm hoping that with use this vac will decrease the amount of dust normally present in the house. I am already breathing a little better at night after one vacuuming. I will be looking at buying the carpet shampooer as well and ditching my old Bissell.
Pros:
~The #1--cleans like nothing else!! The carpet smells better just vacuuming it.
~Easy enough to change out the power nozzle and the hard floor tool when you go between carpet and hard floors.
Cons:
~It's loud. I wore ear protectors and really didn't mind this.
~Takes longer to vacuum the whole house than with the Dyson, due to having to change the water, BUT--boy, does it clean!!
Overall, I highly recommend, and it gets 5 stars. Well-worth the price tag!!
