      @@rogerl8488 sucking power is really good, battery depends on if you use eco mode or turbo mode. I think Eco mode is around 46 minutes and turbo mode 16. Eco does the job... Still using the BP karcher, love it

    One question i have, the main filter basket do you leave it out when you use filter bags? Because in the manual it says can be used with or without filter bags. I left it in for now

    • @OctoCleanMedia
      @OctoCleanMedia  Рік тому +1

      Great question! We leave the main filter in as well. It would be good to test how well it performs with or without. The suction is incredible on this vacuum!

    Is there a way to add a powered head for doing residential carpets? Even an air driven one?

    • @OctoCleanMedia
      @OctoCleanMedia  Рік тому +1

      The stock head should be sufficient for residential carpets. However, depending on the amount of units that need to be clean, a plug in vacuum may be a better option.

      There's no denying ProTeam is one of the best! We strongly support cleaners use ProTeam for their longevity and efficiency. Thanks for commenting!

    I see that this model has an optional hepa filter, something that I must use. I work in a library (a big one, backpack and cordless is needed) and that filter is a must. But I don't see that the suction power is adjustable. I'm not interested in how powerful is a vacuum cleaner, I'm more interested in how low and delicate that power can be switched. I may need to clean a dusty shelf or the cover of a book, I need to adjust. I can't find anything with all the requirements, can you help me?

    • @OctoCleanMedia
      @OctoCleanMedia  11 місяців тому

      Great question! These vacuums have two modes, the less powerful of which still has strong suction. If you were to purchase a backpack vacuum like this or similar, the best coarse of action would be to feather dust the dusty shelf and book covers. Once dusted, the space can be followed up by a vacuum cleaning, effectively removing all the dust that was knocked onto the floor.

    How long do the batteries last before they need to be replaced?

    • @OctoCleanMedia
      @OctoCleanMedia  Рік тому

      In "Eco Mode" which is very powerful, you'll get about 50 minutes of use. We recommend owning at least two batteries with this vacuum.

    Does anyone know where you go to find things that are the very best? Like for instance, snap on pretty much is the best tools in automotive. Not necessarily something you have to have. But as far as tools go you can tell that snap on won’t compromise on quality. Can anyone tell me the equal to snap on on a vacuum. I know it can’t be the Dyson it looks to me a simple Google search will tell you that Dyson is the best but, I can see that Dyson obviously pays Google pretty well. Sorry it’s just depressing everywhere you go everyone and everything is just a big steaming pile of shit

      In this video we highlight the rechargeable Karcher backpack vacuum, an excellent choice! We also mention the Pro Team back pack vacuums in the video for comparison. Pro Team makes excellent machines that can last decades (maybe forever?) if properly maintained.

      Brand new it will set you back over $1,300-$1,600 depending on the supplier. However, there are manufacturer refurbished vacuums available on eBay direct from Karcher for less than $900!
