ProTeam GoFit 3 Backpack Vacuum with ProBlade Hard Surface and Carpet Kit (107716)
Backpack vacuums earn their place in commercial work for one reason: the machine goes where the operator goes, so there is no upright to drag around chair legs, no canister to reposition, and no stopping every few feet to move the machine past an obstacle. The ProTeam GoFit line is built around that idea, and it adds a four-step FlexFit articulating harness borrowed from hiking-pack design, so the load rides on the hips instead of the shoulders through a full shift. That matters most to the crews who wear a vacuum for several hours a night rather than a few minutes at a time. The 107716 is the mixed-floor configuration: one 3-quart GoFit 3 with both the ProBlade hard surface tool and the ProBlade carpet tool, so an operator working a floor that changes from tile to carpet and back swaps a head instead of swapping machines.
Use cases
Built for:
- Mixed-surface buildings where lobby tile, carpeted offices and hard-floor corridors sit on one route
- Schools and municipal buildings with terrazzo or VCT running into carpeted classrooms
- Restaurants, cafeterias and break rooms where hard floor and entry carpet are cleaned in the same pass
- Small-frame operators who want the lightest GoFit body but still need both floor types covered
- Crews replacing a dust mop plus an upright with a single carried machine
What it does well
The ProBlade hard surface tool uses a rubber blade rather than a brush strip, so it pulls fine grit and crumbs off tile and sealed concrete without flicking debris ahead of the head the way a brush can. The carpet tool covers the soft-floor half of the route. Neither head is powered, so there is no brush roll to unwind. Underneath both, the same 1,296-watt motor moves up to 153 CFM at 91 inches of lift, and ProLevel Filtration with HEPA media, rated to capture 99.79% of particles from 0.3 to 5 microns per ASTM F3150 holds what it picks up. Bag access is through a hinged lid with a single quick-release die-cast aluminum latch, so bag changes take seconds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the ProBlade hard surface tool and the carpet tool?
The hard surface tool uses a rubber blade to sweep fine debris from tile, sealed concrete and similar floors. The carpet tool is shaped and weighted for pile carpet and carpet tile. Both are air-driven with no motor.
Do I need tools to change between the two heads?
No. The heads swap on the wand by hand, which is the point of the combo kit; an operator can change surface types without going back to the closet.
Is this the same vacuum as the 107715?
The machine is the same GoFit 3 body. The 107715 ships with the carpet kit only; the 107716 adds the ProBlade hard surface tool for mixed-floor routes.
How loud is it for daytime cleaning?
The GoFit platform is built for occupied-hours work and runs in the high 60-decibel range, quiet enough for most daytime office and hospitality use.
Does it take standard ProTeam filter bags?
Yes. It uses ProTeam's GoFit 3 filter bags and micro cloth filters, which are stocked as ordinary replacement items.
