Sealed Motor By-pass Technology - this is what allows it to have the 3 year warranty on the motor. Normal vacuum cleaners allow dirt and debris into the motor which is why they only last a year or two. The Prolux 6000 uses a sealed motor chamber and all dirt and debris go to the vacuum bag and not through the motor. This is why this model also works so good for commercial use as well. You could literally vacuum up bolts with this and it would not affect the motor at all. The motor is sealed and the dirt goes into the bag not through the motor. Material: Plastic.
