Backpack Vacuums

All about backpack vacuum cleaners

What is it that makes vacuuming such a daunting chore? Could it be lugging several feet of rippled hose up and down flights of stairs, or struggling to push and pull the machine back and forth over the same patch of carpet? Backpack vacuums take away the physical demands of keeping your floors clean. No more hauling your upright from room to room or maneuvering cords around furniture and doorways. Backpack vacuum cleaners are designed to be lightweight, ergonomic and easily portable, eliminating the strain on both your body and your furniture.

Cleaning Is Less Strenuous with Cordless Backpack Vacuums

In essence, a backpack vacuum is a canister vacuum with the canister mounted on straps that slide over a person's shoulders. A hose connects the vacuum to the wand, which is used to do the cleaning. The cord extends from the backpack to the electrical outlet, making it the only appendage the user needs to worry about.

Of course, cordless backpack vacuums can eliminate even this hardship. They are particularly recommended for those with pets, children or elderly family members who may trip over the cord, or for those with densely furnished spaces in which cords can be problematic.

Because they consist mainly of a small wand (versus the rolling pad of an upright), backpack vacuums can get into areas where traditional uprights can't. They are especially easy for cleaning draperies and furniture, and like their upright counterparts, they come with a variety of attachments to make the most of these cleaning jobs.

Commercial Cleaning Is Faster with Commercial Backpack Vacuums

Professional cleaners depend on the versatility and power of backpack vacuums to clean schools, hotels, offices, food service areas, retail stores and much more. Backpack vacuum cleaners maximize productivity and have been proven to double the speed of cleaning versus standard upright vacuums.
