ProTeam Sound Muffler, Fits Round 6 qt. #105800

Product Review:

Overview

The ProTeam Sound Muffler (model #105800) is an accessory designed for use with ProTeam commercial vacuum cleaners, specifically for models with a 6-quart capacity. It helps reduce the noise produced by the vacuum during operation, improving the working environment, especially in commercial settings where the vacuum may be in use for extended periods.

Key Features:

• Noise Reduction: The primary function of the ProTeam Sound Muffler is to reduce the noise level of the vacuum cleaner. This is especially beneficial in commercial and industrial environments where loud equipment can be a disruption. The muffler helps minimize sound without compromising vacuum performance.
• Compatibility: It is designed specifically for ProTeam 6-quart vacuum models. These vacuums are popular in both residential and commercial cleaning, and the muffler attaches easily to the vacuum, providing a quieter cleaning experience.
• Durability: The muffler is made from high-quality materials designed to withstand frequent use. It's durable enough to handle the rigors of commercial cleaning, and it’s built to last for years.
• Ease of Installation: The muffler is easy to install and doesn’t require any special tools. It simply fits onto the exhaust port of the vacuum cleaner.
• Maintenance: There is minimal maintenance required for the muffler. Periodic checks for any wear or clogs are recommended to ensure optimal sound reduction.

Performance:

• The sound muffler is effective in reducing noise levels, but it does not eliminate them entirely. It significantly reduces the high-pitched, annoying sounds, which can make cleaning in noise-sensitive areas (like offices, schools, and hospitals) more tolerable.
• The noise reduction is noticeable, and many users report a significant drop in the volume of the vacuum cleaner, making it less intrusive during operation.

Pros:

• Effective Noise Reduction: It delivers on its promise of reducing noise.
• Improved Work Environment: In commercial settings, the muffler improves the work environment for both the person using the vacuum and others nearby.
• Long-Lasting: It’s built to last with proper maintenance.
• Affordable Upgrade: For commercial users who already own a ProTeam vacuum, the muffler is a relatively low-cost upgrade for a significant improvement in noise levels.

Cons:

• Limited to ProTeam Vacuums: The muffler is designed only for ProTeam models, so it won’t work with other brands of vacuum cleaners.
• Not a Complete Silence Solution: While it reduces noise, it doesn’t make the vacuum completely silent. Some residual noise may still be noticeable, especially at high power settings.
