I like the fact it works hard to clean my house and picks up approx 95 percent of dirt etc. The cons to this machine is it is heavy and hard to manuver with the hose. It did not come with a brush or crevice tool . Im not sure they make one for it. It cleans well but if you have animals I do, you.ll have to stop and manually clean hair from the attachment as the suction isnt strong enough to clean the rubber broom like attachment. It does contain a hepa filter which is nice for allergens and allergies. It also beats any machine made in Chinaa sthis is USA born and bred machine!!

These are so much more effective at catching and holding dust, dirt and allergens than other brands that happen to "fit" my Prolux 9000. Its worth it to go with the name brand.

I own a dog boarding facility and we clean OFTEN. I bought my first Prolux wet/dry vax a few years ago and it's been fantastic. I ended up having issues with the bolt that keeps the filters on, so I've been unable to provide appropriate upkeep, so when it wasn't working as well (after YEARS of regular use) I bought another one!

I was not aware I had purchased any shipping protection. Can you please take the time to describe how this is an aid to me? As stated I was taken aback to find out I had purchased such protection....

Haven’t had to change the bag yet however the shipment arrived in a timely manner.

Great suction and power thanks

Wow! I’ve never used such a powerful vacuum before. It has 5 power settings. The middle one (3) is what I prefer for cleaning my rugs. At top power, this beast drags me across the carpet. I like the “stair” tool for cleaning my apartment. The Stair tool is perfect for moving around and under furniture. I have a cat and the Stair tool has plenty of capacity to pull up hair from everywhere. This vacuum is a great value.

I love this vacuum. It is very compacket and comfortable for me to wear as I'm 5'3 & 150 most other I have tryed are to heavy and bulky for me not this one it just right . The only cons I have with it is that I keep stepping on the cord and it comes unplug. I put a peice of tape and that helped with the problem . Also it hard to unwind the cord when it one and I always forget to unwind before I put it on but that a me issue . Also get a little heavier when bag is full so I know when to change it .I own a clean company and use this vacuum to clean a daycare a office building and a factory and it has done wonderful on all . It about the size of a backpack .

Thoroughly impressed with the vacuum and capabilities. We did have an issue with our first one but the company was able to send out a replacement within a day of voicing our problems. Very impressed with the custom service from Prolux

We have a residential cleaning company and are absolutely blown away by this vacuum. For the price, it stands apart from the competition. The powered head is perfect for high pile carpets and rugs while the led strip on the head lights up even the smallest of debris on hard surfaces. The backpack is light and it’s pretty quiet without sacrificing CFM. The exhaust is distributed around the canister which prevents air from blowing papers and other things from desks etc as we move around in rooms. The only minor complaint is the exhaust blows back toward the cleaner which can get pretty warm, especially in summer months here in southern AZ. Hasn’t stopped me from purchasing several of these for our employees already. Highly recommend for larger houses or for commercial applications.

I am sorry it took me so long to save the wear & tear on my body doing these floors. Saved do much time w/ buffering & direct cleaning clea ING! Highly Recommended! 5☆'s , A BAG of Chips with Texas Hot Sauce.
Thank You! Thank you for the replacement red pad. We are grateful.

Received my vacuum
Well packed and in good shape
There is no actual assembly , just putting the hose and wand on - easy enough
Works great glad I bought it
FYI everything is pretty much self explanatory but it is still worth watching the videos

Don't you just LOVE it when a product you order ends up exceeding your expectations? This Prolux X8 Elite Backpack Canister Vacuum has done exactly that! My husband and I have had countless brands and price points of vacuums over the decades. We both agree that this is the best vacuum either of us have experienced.

This vacuum has great suction! The maximum airflow is 140 CFM, which is very good for a household vacuum. We live in a 120 year old home, have two large Labradoodles and a large cockatoo. All of these things combine to create a ton of dust and whatnot. We have primarily hardwood floors, but our highest traffic area, the living room, has a large area rug that no vacuum before has ever been able to do a good job on. The Prolux X8 Elite made the rug look like new!

All the parts and pieces feel robust, and everything fits together solidly.

The backpack aspect of this vacuum is comfortable and very adjustable. The minimal weight is appropriately distributed, making it easy to maneuver, even on steep, narrow stairs. It honestly makes vacuuming effortless.

There are so many extra conveniences to mention, too:
* The 50' power cord
* That the wand telescopes instead of requiring the addition/subtraction of sections
* The ridiculous ease of removal and cleaning of the beater bar
* The little slicer tool for the beater bar that stores right on the powerhead

This vacuum has performed above expectations on every task we have put it to. My husband and I both highly recommend this product and feel it's a good value!

I wish I hadn't accidently thrown out the one that came with the vacuum, but I did. I even noticed the instructions that came with the vacuum warn you not to do this. Oh well. It was nice to get a replacement easily.
