There are many different types of vacuum cleaners, upright vacuums, backpack vacuum cleaners and canister vacuums. Upright vacuum cleaners are the most common in the United States and are great for cleaning wide areas but lack the ability to get under and in between objects. Backpack vacuum cleaners are perfect for cleaning in between obstacles such as cubicles but lack the ability to clean open areas quickly. The perfect vacuum cleaner for cleaning both open areas and around obstacles is the canister vacuum. One of the best canister vacuums on the market is the Proteam Runningvac. This unit features the portability and size of a backpack vacuum and by utilizing some unique attachments it can be quickly cinverted to accomplish the same tasks as an upright. The Proteam Runningvac vacuum is both powerful and dependable and is used by commercial cleaning companies worldwide. The main features to look for when choosing a canister vacuum are suction power, portability, and a wide selection of vacuum attachments that can be used with it. 

The Proteam Runningvac features a 10.6 amp motor which is larger than even the most robust uprights sold today. An average upright vacuum cleaner utilizes an eight amp motor which is more than sufficient to create the vacuum needed to thoroughly clean floors. By utilizing a 10.6 amp motor the Runningvac exceeds all other vacuums for power and durability. This large vacuum motor creates 150 cubic feet per minute of air movement eliminating the need for a beater bar. Portability is another important feature that a vacuum of this type should have. This Proteam vacuum weighs only 12 pounds and is extremely maneuverable by utilizing two larger rear wheels and a floating caster wheel that can easily change direction when the user pulls the canister along. Overall in tests the Proteam unit cleans areas up to 133% faster than traditional uprights. Filtration is another important attribute when looking for a good canister vacuum. Filtration is important when cleaning green buildings or error critical environments. With four levels of filtration the Proteam Runningvac can clean up to 99.9% of all particles in the air measuring one micron or larger. This unit is surprisingly quiet for how large the vacuum motor is, and at only 66 decibels this vacuum can be used in an office area during business hours.

The most important feature of any canister vacuum is the array of tools that will fit it. Proteam offers over 20 different tools and attachments that can easily be fitted to the vacuum at a moments notice. Some of these tools include crevice tools, hard floor tools, and even a turbo brush. Crevice tools are useful for cleaning in tight spaces such as vents, behind couch cushions, and drapery. It is important to have a wide selection of hard floor tools so that you can adjust the vacuum to the type of surface it is cleaning. Some of these services include vinyl floors, carpeting, concrete and terrazzo tile. A turbo tool is useful for cleaning drapery, shag carpets and rugs. The turbo tool acts like a beater bar on an upright vacuum but is driven by air instead of vacuum belts.

Overall the Proteam Runningvac vacuum cleaner is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to canister vacs. With a warranty unmatched by other vacuum manufacturers the owner can be sure that for three full years all parts and labor are covered at no charge by Proteam. When you look at the three main areas that a canister vacuum should cover the running back exceeds all these expectations.
