The powerful Easy Vac Suction Machine by Precision Medical has a protective canister bracket which not only holds the canister but also protects the gauge and adjustment knob from accidents. The unit only weighs 12.6lbs and has a Velcro™ strap that allows the power cord to be wrapped securely to make portability easier. Extra strength premium suction feet attach the unit safely and securely to most surfaces, preventing spillage. The thermal limit switch will automatically prevent the unit from overheating.
