The ProTeam Everest 107279 is discontinued. It is listed here because a great many are still in service, and the two questions we get about it are always the same: what replaced it, and can it still be repaired.
The short answers are the ProVac FS 6 (107363), and yes. ProTeam moved its backpack line to the rectangular-body platform, and the current catalog replacement for the Everest is the ProVac FS 6, a 6 qt. machine built for the foodservice and hospitality environments where the Everest often ended up. If you are replacing an Everest, that is the model to compare against, and it is worth checking capacity and tool fitment before assuming a like-for-like swap.
The Everest was the high-capacity machine in the ProTeam backpack range, specified where a route was long enough that stopping to empty a smaller machine cost real time. It shipped in this configuration with the Xover Performance floor tool kit C (107099): a 14 in. Xover Performance floor tool with a stiffer brush for carpet agitation, a 42 in. to 59 in. aluminum telescoping wand, a 17 in. crevice tool, a 3 in. dust brush with reducer and a 5 in. upholstery tool.
If yours is still running, it is generally worth keeping. Backpack chassis, harnesses and hoses routinely outlast the motor, and the parts that do wear, motors, filters, cords, switches and tools, are still available. A motor replacement on a sound machine costs a fraction of a new unit. If it is beyond economical repair, we can help you cross to the current model.

Frequently asked questions
What replaced the ProTeam Everest 107279?
ProTeam lists the ProVac FS 6, part number 107363, as the replacement. ProTeam moved the backpack line to its rectangular-body platform, and the ProVac FS 6 is the current catalog equivalent.
Can I still get parts for an Everest?
Yes. Genuine ProTeam service parts such as motors, filters, cords, switches and tools are still available for machines in the field. Send us the model and serial number and we will identify the part you need.
Is it worth repairing an old Everest?
Usually, if the chassis, harness and hose are sound. The motor is the component that typically fails first, and replacing it costs a fraction of a new machine.
Do the Everest tools fit newer ProTeam backpacks?
The Xover Performance kit C tools use the 1-1/2 inch connection, so they fit other ProTeam machines that use 1-1/2 inch accessories. They will not fit a 1-1/4 inch machine.
