The Cleanstar Prostar is a 36V cordless backpack vacuum built for commercial operators who need to cover large areas without being tethered to a power outlet. No cord management, no searching for wall sockets, no restrictions on where you can work — just the machine on your back and the job in front of you.
Clean a full shift without a cord, using four swappable batteries
The dual battery system is the standout feature. The Prostar comes with four lithium-ion batteries — two power the machine while the other two charge. In practice that means a cleaning team can run the machine continuously across a full shift without stopping to wait for a recharge. For contractors covering large facilities on a tight schedule, that matters.
Two speed modes give you flexibility depending on the application. Eco mode runs for up to 70 minutes per battery pair — suitable for general maintenance cleaning across offices, retail, and schools. Power mode delivers stronger suction for up to 40 minutes — better for high-traffic areas or tougher debris. The speed switch sits on the waist strap so operators can change modes without removing the machine.
At 5kg with batteries the Prostar is light for a commercial backpack vacuum. The harness distributes weight evenly and is designed for both right and left-hand users. H13 HEPA filtration captures 99.95% of particles down to 0.3 microns — suitable for healthcare settings in non-critical areas, schools, aged care, and any environment where air quality matters.
Best suited to offices, schools, retail stores, hotels, hospitality venues, healthcare facilities in non-critical areas, and churches or community centres. If you're comparing the Prostar to a corded backpack vacuum like the Ghibli T1 or the Cleanstar VBP1400, the trade-off is runtime vs consistent corded power. For most commercial applications the dual battery system handles a full shift comfortably — but if you're running a machine hard all day every day, our corded options are worth a look before you decide.
"Really great machine — very sturdy and high powered. The second pair of batteries included makes logistics much easier. And the very best assistance on purchase from Kellen at Oz Cleaning Gear. Highly recommend both the vacuum and the team."
