ProLux Stealth Quiet HEPA Review: Great Agitation and Filtration

ProLux Stealth Quiet HEPA Review: Great Agitation and Filtration

Posted on May 22, 2022 by admin

If you look closely at most vacuum cleaners on the market today, many will struggle to clean medium to high pile carpets.

why?

Most of these vacuum cleaners do not have a single important feature. This is a motorized brush.

Even high-end brands like Dyson produce cylinder vacuums with air-driven brushes.

This is not enough to get a good stir on the carpet.

A motorized brush is essential for cleaning dirt and dust deep under the carpet threads.

Prolux is one of the few vacuum cleaners that has a motorized brush. So this is another option if you are looking for a versatile product to clean your home.

Since this is a vacuum packed use bags.

And before you complain about the cost of the bags, ProLux has included 6 bags (according to the ProLux website) in the package giving you some savings.

Allergy sufferers will appreciate this cleaner because it uses an airtight HEPA filtration system. This is necessary to keep allergens inside the trash.

What to expect from ProLux Stealth Quiet?

The most impressive feature in my book that consumers have to look at is the robotic floor tool that sets this apart from a lot of vacuum cleaners.

This allows it to clean the carpet deeply which is the main reason why you would want to buy a motorized brush cleaner, right?

If you look at the metal telescopic stick, you will find that it is solid and will last for years. On the downside, it increases weight.

Features

Variable speed control

If you look closely at the body, then there are two buttons with a plus and a minus button.

This allows you to adjust the suction power between 400 and 1200 watts.

The lower setting is very quiet, producing just 67dB which is quieter than some of the cordless vacuums I’ve reviewed.

Attachments and accessories

The ProLux Stealth comes with these attachments and tools.

tools

rope length

The power cord is 24 feet long and comes with a cord wrap feature.

Filter cleaning

Since this is a bag-packed vacuum cleaner, you will need to replace the HEPA filter every 6 months.

This is the absolute minimum. Other factors such as the environment you live in and the size of your home play a role.

Obviously, if you live in a dusty place, you will have to replace it often.

Guarantee

It comes with a 2-year “bumper” warranty and a 3-year engine warranty.

For warranty claims you can contact support [at] greatvacs.com – They sell this broom on Amazon.

bare floor performance

Performance on surfaces such as hardwood, linoleum, or any bare floor surface is great due to the powerful suction and motorized brush roller.

It also gives you the option to turn off the brush roller just in case you’re concerned about scratching your newly installed hardwood floors.

It also comes with a hard floor attachment which is lighter in weight. This is a good alternative if you feel the motorized floor tool is too heavy for you.

carpet performance

This is the surface on which this vacuum cleaner will perform best.

With a special motor for the floor tool, the brush roller rotates more forcefully allowing it to dig deeper into the thicker pile carpet.

The agitation is a strong point and will be able to pick up dust, sand, pet hair and other contaminants in the carpet

Having the ability to deep clean will save you money in the long run because your carpet will stay healthy for longer.

You’ll save in the future on repair and carpet replacement bills. Your home will also be a cleaner place to live.

upholstery performance

Whether you are cleaning fabrics or leather upholstery, the ProLux Stealth will be able to clean them.

Other tools include a crevice tool and a brush to handle corners and crevices.

It also comes with the Pet Mini Head Tool which is basically a small tool with a roller brush. This is an essential tool for picking up pet hair on upholstery or carpet stairs.

Pet hair removal

The combination of a motorized floor tool and a small pet head tool enables efficient cleaning of pet hair on carpets and upholstery.

If you are concerned about cleaning the brush roller, it can be removed. You just need to remove some screws to access the brush.

You can also buy hook blades from Lowes or Home Depot, and you can check out hook blades on Amazon.

What do consumers say?

Consumers loved the way this broom works, especially on carpets.

They said it has very good suction and the price is just right for the performance. There were those who said it was still too expensive.

Great for pet owners

Pet owners who have more than one pet love the way this vacuum cleaner performs. This tells you that this would be a great pet hair cleaner.

Even in the 3 or 2 star reviews, people still rave about the suction power. This means that cleaning performance on floors will not be a problem.

Some potential issues

But the attachments were different. Some reviews complained that the crevice tool was short on tool and that the bristles on the brush tool were too hard.

Weight was another problem. Since the telescopic stick is made of metal, it increases the weight.

Many consumers (particularly the elderly) complained that it was too heavy for their liking. But others didn’t mind it at all because it looked solid.

The floor tool also has its own motor which also adds to the weight.

There is also the problem of prematurely breaking the retractable wire button. Although only a few people have complained about this, it is worth mentioning here for your information.

Another possible problem is that the beater bar stops working based on the complaints of some consumers – be sure to check and clean this part regularly.

The bags based on reviews seem to fill up very quickly and a pack of ten will cost about $25 on Amazon.

That’s $2.5 per bag.

The cost will go up over time but you have to remember that this is using a closed system. So your health will benefit here – less allergens and dust.

In general, the majority of consumers like the cleaning performance of this vacuum cleaner. They say it’s relatively quiet, solidly built, and perfectly priced right – right in the middle, between under-budget $100 models and high-end canister cleaners that cost more than $400.

Where can I buy this?

You can buy this versatile vacuum cleaner on Amazon for less than $250. And you’ll be eligible for free 2-day shipping if you join Prime.

Amazon also sells extended warranties of up to 3 years if you want that extra peace of mind.

Another option is to buy direct from Prolux but it will be more expensive at over $300!

to finish

This is a great option for people who don’t want to spend $300 to $500 on a drum vacuum cleaner with a motorized floor tool and a small motorized tool for upholstery.

It will work well on carpets and bare floors due to the on/off brush feature.

Pet owners will also appreciate this because both the floor tool and the small pet head tool will do their job of cleaning the pet’s hair.

Comes with basic attachments like crevice tool and brush for cleaning over floor areas.

A big concern for me is the short slit tool which may not be long enough to reach some areas. But this is just a scratch.

Our 2-year bumper-to-bumper extended warranty will give you some peace of mind for at least two years.

The bottom line is that people looking for a mid-priced vacuum cleaner can’t go wrong with this one.

It works well on rug, which has a strong structure which makes it heavy.
