Prolux 7000 Upright Vacuum

The Prolux 7000 delivers 109 CFM airflow and 873 air watts. This suction picks up dirt, debris, and pet hair from carpets and hard floors.

The Prolux 7000 weighs 22 pounds. It's heavier than stick vacuums but lighter than most commercial models, making it typical for upright vacuums with reasonable maneuverability around the home.

Yes. The Prolux 7000 uses Hospital Grade True HEPA filtration and N95-quality bags to trap small particles and allergens and improve indoor air quality.

For pet hair, look for strong suction (roughly 20,000 Pa or more on a robot vacuum, 150 AW or more on a cordless), a tangle-resistant brush roll, a dedicated pet tool, and HEPA filtration, which by definition captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. Dyson, Shark and Bissell all make well-reviewed pet models. Use the Pet Hair Specialist filter on our comparison table to see which ones are in stock and what they cost right now.

Most manufacturers suggest replacing filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you vacuum and whether you have pets. HEPA filters usually last 12 to 18 months if you clean them regularly. Washable foam filters on bagless models should be rinsed every 1 to 2 weeks and dried fully before going back in. Replacements typically run $15 to $50. A clogged filter chokes airflow, so suction drops noticeably well before the filter looks dirty.
