The ProTeam ProGen 15 is a 15-inch commercial upright vacuum built for daily route cleaning in office buildings, schools, and hospitality. The 1100-watt motor pulls through a four-stage ProLevel HEPA Media filtration system that captures 99.97 percent of particles at 0.3 microns the same filtration class used in healthcare and clean-build settings. The animated maintenance dashboard surfaces airflow issues, brush-roll jams, and filter status before they cost you a vacuum on the route.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CRI Silver mean for buyers?
CRI Silver Seal of Approval certifies that the vacuum removes a measured amount of soil from carpet, retains it in the bag and filter, and does not damage the carpet over time. Many institutional carpet warranties REQUIRE a CRI-certified vacuum for warranty coverage Silver and Gold are the levels most janitorial specs ask for.
Is the HEPA real HEPA or HEPA-style?
Real HEPA media. ProTeam specifies the ProLevel system at 99.97% capture at 0.3 microns, which is the federal HEPA definition. It is not a HEPA-grade marketing claim.
What bags does it use and how often should I change them?
The ProGen 15 uses ProTeam Intercept Micro Filter bags, 3.25 quart top-fill. Change at the visible fill line (about 2/3 full) pushing past that drops airflow and shortens motor life. We stock the bags as a daily-use consumable.
How do I clear a brush-roll jam?
The ProGen has a tool-free declog feature the brush-roll plate releases by hand without a screwdriver. The animated dashboard alerts you when airflow drops below the brush roll, so you catch the jam before it stalls the motor.
Is there a HEPA-only or upright variant I should compare?
For very small floor plates, the ProGen 12 has a narrower path. For backpack work, the ProTeam Super Coach Pro 6 and 10 cover the same buildings with better stair access. For larger floor plates, the ProGen 20 covers 33 percent more area per pass.
