Sanitaire TRANSPORT Commercial Cordless Backpack Vacuum

Sanitaire's cordless answer to ProTeam's GoFree Flex, and it undercuts it meaningfully on price while still delivering sealed HEPA filtration and a genuinely competitive runtime. Two swappable 24V 8.0Ah batteries power a 400W brushless motor for up to 70 minutes at regular speed, with a boost mode that pushes airflow from 40 CFM up to 70 CFM when you need more power for a deep clean. Filtration is sealed HEPA rated to capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, matching what you'd expect from a much more expensive commercial cordless unit. At 14.6 lbs it's lighter on your back than ProTeam's GoFree Flex Pro II (17.5 lbs), though the tradeoff is a smaller 4-quart tank and a short 5-foot hose (built from two 2.5-foot wand sections) that limits reach compared to a full-length commercial hose. The honest caveats: at $850 it's still a serious investment for a small facilities budget, boost mode will eat through the battery noticeably faster than regular mode, and the 2-year parts-and-labor warranty doesn't call out separate battery coverage the way ProTeam's documentation does.
