ProTeam Motor Housing Sound Filter for 1500XP #105488

Product Review:

Overview

The ProTeam Motor Housing Sound Filter for the 1500XP (part number #105488) is an aftermarket accessory designed to reduce the noise output of the ProTeam 1500XP vacuum cleaner. Specifically, this filter is placed within the motor housing of the vacuum and acts as a sound dampener, improving user experience by decreasing the overall operating noise of the vacuum.

This sound filter is particularly useful in commercial and residential settings where noise can be a concern. Reducing the noise level of powerful vacuum cleaners like the 1500XP enhances comfort for both the user and people nearby.

1. Noise Reduction:

   • The main function of the sound filter is to lower the decibel level of the vacuum, making it quieter during operation.
   • It can significantly decrease the loudness, especially in environments where quieter cleaning is essential (e.g., offices, hospitals, schools, or libraries).

2. Easy Installation:

   • Designed specifically for the ProTeam 1500XP, this filter fits directly into the motor housing, and installation is straightforward, typically requiring no special tools.

3. Durability:

   • Made from high-quality materials, the filter is durable and designed to withstand regular use without degrading quickly. It's built to handle the airflow and pressure inside the motor housing.

4. Maintains Performance:

   • The sound filter does not affect the suction power of the vacuum cleaner, so performance remains consistent with the original specifications of the ProTeam 1500XP.

5. Cost-Effective:

   • Adding the sound filter is an affordable option for those looking to reduce noise without purchasing an entirely new, quieter vacuum model.

• Improved User Comfort: Quieter operation makes it easier to use the vacuum for extended periods without fatigue or discomfort from the noise.
• Quieter Environment: Ideal for use in noise-sensitive areas where loud cleaning equipment may disrupt work or peace.
• Extended Vacuum Lifespan: By absorbing some of the vibrations and sound energy, the filter may help reduce wear and tear on the motor, potentially extending the life of the vacuum.

Drawbacks:

• Limited Noise Reduction: While the filter helps reduce noise, it won't make the vacuum completely silent. It only reduces the sound produced by the motor and does not affect other noise-producing parts of the vacuum (e.g., airflow or brush roll).
• Compatibility: This filter is specifically designed for the ProTeam 1500XP. It may not fit other models in the ProTeam range or other vacuum brands.

• Part Number: 105488
• Compatibility: ProTeam 1500XP
• Material: High-density foam or similar sound-absorbing material
• Dimensions: Fits within the motor housing compartment of the 1500XP (exact size may vary slightly depending on the model and year of manufacture)

Detailed FAQ:

Q1: How does the ProTeam Motor Housing Sound Filter work?

Q6: How do I maintain or clean the sound filter?

• Periodic cleaning of the sound filter is recommended to maintain its effectiveness. You can wash it gently with warm water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry thoroughly before reinserting it into the motor housing.

Q7: Is this product environmentally friendly?

• The materials used in the sound filter are generally safe for the environment. However, disposal methods should follow local regulations, particularly if the filter shows signs of wear and tear after an extended period.
