The Prolux Phantom is a high-value canister vacuum that combines an adjustable-suction body with a German-engineered Wessel Werk EBK250 power nozzle. The chassis is made of high-impact ABS, which provides better dimensional stability under heat than standard plastics. This model is specifically designed for pet owners and households with various floor types, as the motorized nozzle can be adjusted for different carpet heights.
Specifications include an H13 HEPA filtration system and an integrated electric wand. To ensure maximum suction, the bagless dust bin must be firmly clicked into place to maintain a proper seal. The EBK250 power head uses a cogged belt system that is more resistant to slipping than traditional belts, making it effective for agitating even high-pile carpets.
The unit features a rubberized bumper around the perimeter to protect baseboards and furniture. While the power nozzle provides superior carpet cleaning, it does add weight to the front of the wand compared to suction-only models. The cord length is standard for residential use, though it may be shorter than some premium European competitors.
If your home is mostly hard floors and you prefer a bagged system for easier disposal, the Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction is a refined, lighter-weight alternative.
Having a vacuum with a motorized head is often a necessity in the upright and canister vacuums category for those with medium-to-high pile carpets.
