Super Coach backpack vacuum.

[cam2s]

I’ve always wanted to have a back pack vacuum in the collection and this week this super coach was up for sale at our local auction house. I bid and won for $12, so a perfect bargain. I picked it up today, unfortunately it does seem to have a few issues. It definitely has been used, though that’s no surprise for any commercial vacuum. The hose will need to replaced as it’s been rigged and taped together. Definitely not the original hose. The previous owner also did not use the paper bags, so a good tear down and scrub is in order. Anyone else have a back pack vac?

Have a proteam sierra backpack. It has a Chinese version of wessell wrrk power nozzle.
It's nice because the 50 foot cord. The power nozzle and it's got tons of power.

Are you sure it's not an EBK340 branded as a Proteam? That's all I've ever seen on those units.

Nice find. Proteams are very solid units. Unfortunate that they decided to not use paper bags, but at least they're a simple unit.

I've got 4 backpacks currently. This Proteam FS6 with the EBL340c power nozzle, a Nacecare RSV130, a cordless Nacecare RBV 150NX and this Hoover shoulder pro. The RSV will be getting sold soon-ish

I have had a few others including a sanitaire SC535, a mosquito super, and a mosquito carbon lite.

No ebk 340. Blackheart pointed it out to me.
I use a ebk 360 sometimes with it.
I've had the royal which is just like the hoover backpack vacuum.
I'd say proteam is the best I've used.

Hmm

I can't find the conversation but I think Les's unit had one of the "GV" heads on it.
This is what one of the proteam heads looked like the EBK340C they had a computer like plug on them that mated wit the cord coming out of the handle. They also lacked a headlight and *may* be lower wattage.

I did later modify the hose and power nozzle to the more standard plugs so that it could be used with other nozzles.
