+1 (978) 295-7538Bissell BG100 ProTough 12" Metal-Hood Commercial Upright Vacuum
The BG100 ProTough is built with a metal bottom plate, black metal hood, and metal foot switch. An 870-watt motor drives an aluminum roller brush with four bristle strips through a 12-inch cleaning path, and the non-stick shakeout bag eliminates ongoing bag costs. Heat overload protection shuts the motor off before thermal damage occurs during extended cleaning cycles.
BG100 ProTough Specs and Metal Construction Details
- Motor: 870 watts — commercial suction for embedded dirt in high-traffic carpet
- Cleaning path: 12 inches wide — handles corridors, guest rooms, and cubicle aisles
- Roller brush: aluminum with four bristle strips — belt-driven with consistent carpet agitation
- Construction: metal bottom plate, black metal hood, metal foot switch, metal release pedal
- Collection: non-stick shakeout bag — empty and reuse, zero bag consumable cost
- Power cord: 50 ft — 100 feet of cleaning area
- Height adjustment: 6-position — manual carpet height adjustment
- Motor protection: heat overload shutoff
- Weight: 13.5 lbs — manageable for single-operator multi-floor routes
BG100 vs BG101 — Where the ProTough Fits in the Lineup
The BG101 series (ProShake, ProBag, ProCup) also uses an 870-watt motor and 12-inch path, but with a chrome metal hood rather than the BG100's black metal hood. Both weigh 13.5–14.5 lbs and include heat overload protection. The BG100 ProTough is positioned as the baseline commercial workhorse — shakeout bag, metal hood, bottom plate, foot switch and release pedal, no filtration upgrade. For facilities that need the most durable structure without the cost of high-filtration bags or chrome hood aesthetics, the BG100 is the appropriate specification.
