   I purchased this for my cleaning company. The reviews I read were really good. In my opinion, it has amazing suction. It does become less intense when the bags are nearly full, but that makes sense with any bagged vacuum. I would it takes a while for the bag to fill up with general domestic use. However for commercial use, it takes less time to fill up. The hose will occasionally, if you are left handed, hit the power switch and turn the machine off. The attachments for the hose and wand can be tricky to get on, but once it is done several times you get a feel for it. The attachments do not fit in every portion of the wand. For instance, the upholstery att. will not fit into the most upward pipe, but it will fit into the hose, and the lower pipe with the secure swivel end. High Pile carpets and rugs are challenging for this vacuum. The backward side to side motion really only works on bare floor, or low pile carpet. Instead, for High Pile, you have to pull, lift place, and pull again. It picks up a lot of things with ease, due to great suction, but you will occasionally suck up a cord or unwanted items that will get lodged into the floor attachment. The bare floor attachment needs to be cleaned, by hand frequently. The cord is long, which can create knots and binds, taking some time to release. However, the length of the cable means you do not need to unplug as often. You can walk from room to room, and if it get wedged between something a gentle(or rough) tug will fix it.

   All in all, I prefer this vacuum for cleaning homes and offices. It is versatile, dependable, and well made. I highly recommend it to those with back or neck issues, or those who need to cover a large space in a short amount of time.

   I am altering my review after Customer Service helped me fix it. They were very responsive and patient. For anyone with this same issue it helps to tap the nut at the end against something, that allowed me to finally get it unscrewed. It can really get stuck quickly and it can be confusing in that moment which way it needs to be turned so I drew an arrow above the nut for which way to loosen it.

   I then had issues with getting the smaller tools to attach to the want and they helped me trouble shoot that too. The indent ring closest to the brush part (for instance) is the one that is supposed to catch the metal nut ring on the inside of the end of the wand. We found that once the nut was completely tight I needed to lift the brush tool very slightly to get it to line up right for the metal ring to drop into it and then I could tighten it just a bit more so that it would stay in place.

   Easy once it was figured out.

   I’d recommend that Proteam adds a video showing this and for troubleshooting this because, while its ability to tighten during use is great!, it can be a real source of frustration and wasted time when one wants to swap tools:)

   Old Review:
   The Vacuum has excellent suction and I love the ability to wear it instead of dragging it behind me. However! the end of the wand that is supposed to fit the floor and carpet parts does NOT loosen as it is supposed to so I can’t use it or the floor parts. I can only used the hand held attachments that attach to the flexible hose directly. The nut at the end of the wand literally does not move at all, it is completely locked into place. Very disappointing.

   We have had this for about 3 weeks. It is one of the best vacuum cleaners we have owned. The accessories support all of our cleaning needs. It has the strongest vacuum power of any vacuums we have currently. It works well on wood floors, carpets and most areas. The backpack makes doing stairs and general vacuuming tasks much easier than conventional or hand vacs. The 50’ power cord is a major convenience. No more moving from outlet to outlet to complete vacuuming most rooms. All around 5-stars for vacuuming tasks.

   I’ve been in the professional cleaning business for 23 years and have tried many vacuums and I can tell you… They are not all created equal.

   Pro TEAM has done a incredible job with this vacuum. It is the go to vacuum for my cleaning technicians even though we have other backpack and canister vacuums. Most of the work we do is cleaning up after fires, removing odor and restoring our clients home and personal items like before the fire. As you can imagine we work them hard and they just keep going. We use the hepa filters in all of them (4 vacuums) and we don’t seem to have any dust blowing out.

   Now the positives:
   *they are very light when wearing them all day. Sometimes we have to crawl in the attic to clean and they are light and allow for good movement in tight spaces.
   *they have really great suction for the size. They are not as strong as the larger vacuums however more enough power that it easily performs all the tasks we us it for.
   *the design is much better then the round models. It molds to your back. Well designed.
   * very durable. We have not had any problems with them running. (One vacuum we sucked up water by accident and it makes noise now but that was our fault.).

   Cons:
   Really the only problem we have had with this vacuum is when we vacuum heavy dust ( like fire extinguisher dust) it will over heat and shut down until it cools off. With normal use this has never happened.

   I would definitely recommend this vacuum for anyone looking for a light weight professional vacuum.
