Ever since I was a young kid, I’ve had adversarial relationships with vacuum cleaners. At home, when mom assigned me the vacuuming chore, I remember using a Lewyt metal canister vacuum. I hated it because the nameplate made a horrific buzzing sound that I couldn't stand. I'd give it a swift kick and the buzzing would stop for a while- only to need another kick later- plus it never rolled straight. Of course that was the 1960s and vacuum cleaners have improved immensely.
This Tritan by Prolux is (so far) everything I could hope for in a vacuum. It replaces a Eureka canister vacuum that we had for years that was OK, I guess. I got tired of fixing the broken hose (connection to the vacuum body) with gaffers tape, and when you pushed the cord retract button, the AC power plug would retract with so much force that it would wedge itself into the vacuum so that I needed a pair of pliers to extract it.
On the Prolux Tritan, the cord retractor works smoothly and not too fast. Plus you can pull the cord out from its fully retracted position without dragging the whole vacuum across the room. I also like that the motor starts somewhat gradually. So if you accidentally left it turned on, and you plug in, it doesn't end up scaring the crap out of you. It more gradually comes up to speed. Even at the maximum setting, this vacuum is quiet (vacuuming fatigue isn’t just physical). The suction is very strong and it is adjustable. You can vary the suction with the "diverter valve" on the hose nozzle (like most vacuums of this type) AND with the knob on the vacuum which varies motor speed. It really keeps you from accidentally sucking in lighter rugs, drapes and such.
For the most part, the attachments are excellent. The bare floor brush (which has a rocker switch that either lowers or raises the brush) broke so that the brush was extended all of the time. I contacted Prolux about this and they immediately sent me a replacement floor brush attachment at no charge. Excellent customer service! The hose end and extension tubes are slightly larger in diameter than most vacuums. It just means that if you have attachments from other vacuum manufacturers, they won’t fit. I don’t think that matters except for the dust brush which is kind of crappy. It turns out that our old dust brush made of rubber can be shoved onto the hose end and/or extension tubes.
The vacuum comes with extra bags and a hook/razor tool that allows you to easily remove hair that gets stuck in the rotary brush attachment. Oh yes, I almost forgot: I love that it has HEPA filtration. Great for asthmatics like me.
You get a lot of vacuum for the $. It’s a very good value considering the quality and engineering that was put into it. It seems built to withstand years of normal use, but time will tell. But for now, it’s everything I would want in a vacuum.

Product Description
HEPA FILTRATION
Three stages of filtration-including sealed HEPA filtration-keeps dust from entering your air. Our 5-layer HEPA bags are made with the same materials used in N95 masks for superior protection.
RATED FOR PETS
Pet hair, dander, allergens, and other pollutants are no match for the Tritan’s 140 CFM of deep cleaning power and three stages of filtration.
STANDARD TOOL KIT INCLUDED
Dust and clean all surfaces from ceiling fans and drapes to carpet and wood floors. Our tool kit includes a turbo nozzle floor tool, extendable wand, upholstery tool, crevice tool, and more.
SUCTION CONTROL
Can a vacuum have too much suction power? Here at Prolux, we don't think so, but we invented a variable-speed motor you can adjust just in case. Choose from 50 CFM for a delicate dusting, 100 CFM for hardwood floors, or 140 CFM for carpet deep cleaning.
CONVENIENT CLEANING
Lightweight at just 15 lbs, you can clean quickly and comfortably with a 32 ft cleaning radius, extendable wand, flexible hose, and large rubber wheels. When you’re done, simply press a button and the cord rewinds itself.

brushes are laughable but suction is good
I have never seen such sparse and wimpy brushes. There is a good half inch space between them. I expect they will be next to useless. Fortunately I will not be using it for my carpets, I have a nice upright Oreck with full brushes for that. It is a second cleaner, used on floors and hard to reach places.The suction is good and I like the telescoping tubes. The bag seems pretty roomy. Seems well built but still pretty light. The attachment holder is a nice idea. Good for when stored, a pain when using machine. Nice that I don't have to find a separate place to put them though.I do not recommend it for a main or only vacuum but is fine for other uses.
