ProForce 1200XP Bagged Upright Vacuum: Powerful Cleaning for Home and Office

Cindy Robitaille: I have a clean business. It holds up well

C&P: Being 65, I have used many types of vacuums. I purchased my first Electrolux in the 1980’s. By the time I replaced it in 2003, (although it was still working), it was called Aerus. I purchased the Lux 6000 upright with tools on board - the vacuum of my dreams. It too still works, but it was time to upgrade once again. After much research, I found that design was now a ProTeam. I purchased the upright with the 12” base so I could access several smaller areas in my home. There is slightly more weight when using the vacuum. I can’t begin to express how happy I am with this vacuum. It suctions very well on my carpet, and then moves easily to my laminate floors. I love having the hose at my finger tips whenever needed along edges, in tight spaces, or for cobwebs. The brush and the crevice tools are also right on board for easy access. With the 50’ cord, I can vacuum my whole house without having to unplug. The price was reasonable. The shipping and delivery was timely. Assembly was easy, although I did need my husband’s help attaching the handle. I would definitely buy this vacuum again.

DaveDave: 12/7/2020 --Thought I would give this brand a try. Spouse wanted a light weight vacuum. You can't have light weight and great cleaning power in one vac - it doesn't exist. I'd read all the reviews on this vac, so I knew what to expect. this vac weights 2.5 pounds less than our previous upright vac - going in the right direction. From the beater bar hinge up, it's much heavier than our previous Eureka upright. This leads to instability when it's in the upright position. I have a big scar on the wall to prove how easily it tips over. If they'd just added 2 inches "behind" the beater bar hinge and moved the rear wheels back - this wouldn't be a constant problem. The concentrated weight above the beater bar hinge weighs on your hands and arms when you're using the vac. It's noticeably different and heavier. The piano hinge compartment at the top of the upright body - also has the hose inlet - and many have complained that junction breaks frequently. The hose coupling and hose have to move 90 degrees when the lid is opened to change the bags. this leads to stress on the connection and hose. Think about repeatedly flexing your headphone connector over it's lifetime. thought I'd ordered...

JanieJo717: I really love this vacuum. I’ve owned plenty over the years and appreciate the power and basic ease of use of this vacuum. It’s not light weight - but the power & durability makes it Ok! I like that it needs bags, which are easy to change out. Also - I really like the convenience & how easy it is to use the hose with upholstery attachment. I had the Shark APEX and I appreciate the quality & characteristics of this vacuum SO much more. Thank you - I feel my search is over - finally!!

Tracey R: We have our own cleaning business and were looking for a good vacuum for some office cleaning. Very powerful vacuum. It's not loud like other vacuums and we love the 50 foot cord. We can often clean an office without ever changing plugs. We also like that it has a three year warranty.

CEV: I had an Electrolux 4000 for many many years and absolutely loved the dual motors. I used the metal wand so much that the end would wear down so much that when you put it into the holder it was wore so bad that it wasn't engaging the bottom brush motor. Over the almost twenty years I replaced the wand several times. Recently it happened again and I couldn't get the wand again from the dealer...discontinued. So I decided it was time for a new vacuum...but I wanted all the features of my old vacuum, mainly the dual motors. After some research I came across this one...it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this was my faithful Electrolux commercially made under the ProForce name. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it and the brush head is a lower profile so it fits better underneath things. Best part, I ordered a wand for this new machine and it fit perfectly on my old Electrolux so it is backup and running. So I now have it down in the basement....no more carrying the vacuum down the stairs. I can't say enough about this new machine, it has so much suction and very surprising quite, plus it is priced right, especially knowing how many years you can expect out of it.

Frank Beaty: Too many churches try to use "home vacs" for church duty. This machine is very maneuverable, works great with the right side extension to get under heat radiators. Strong suction. No dust puffs! Love the ease of removing the wand & getting something picked up. Great "self-propel" strength & quality.
Excellent brand--recommended by commercial maintenance companies who really use them for hours...daily!
