Product details
The Solar, model PV030-W12-U, is Powr-Flite's ultra lightweight commercial upright at 8.4 lb., built for cleaners who carry the machine between rooms and floors across a full shift rather than pushing it around one open space.
Weight is the whole design brief here. A lighter body means less fatigue by the last hour of a route, and less fatigue is what keeps cleaning quality consistent from the first room to the last instead of tailing off as the shift goes on. The 35 ft. cord follows the same logic, sized to cover a wide area from one outlet so an operator changes outlets less often. The 7.4 qt. bag works the same way, putting off the stop to change a bag on a machine this small.
Where the Solar differs most from Powr-Flite's other commercial uprights is in what it leaves out rather than what it adds. It runs a single speed from a toe-operated on and off switch and carries no hose or onboard attachments, choices that keep the body light but mean above-floor work still needs a separate tool on hand. What it does add for hard floors is a squeegee behind the brushroll that pulls debris in rather than scattering it ahead of the nozzle, plus automatic height adjustment that handles the change from carpet to tile without a manual setting.

Confirm the PV030-W12-U model number against your own machine before ordering a replacement bag, since Powr-Flite's lightweight uprights are not all built around the same bag size.
