I work in a place where we have tons of material on carts everywhere, 36 work stations, thread and material everywhere. At the end of the week, it's fuzz for days everywhere. We use a lot of compressed air to blow the debris on the floor out from under workstations and material handling carts, but there's so much back and forth blowing and sweeping the same fuzz from place to place. This is great for our purposes as we can have a "blower" and a "sucker" working together to minimize the back and forth and dealing with the same fuzz that often just gets moved around the shop. It is really easy to navigate through our maze of stuff to get places that we couldn't practically get to before. You still have to think about the cord a bit, but it's SO much easier than trying to drag a shop vac around our crowded floor space. I find it to be very light weight for it's effectiveness, and it's comfortable enough to wear that I don't even think about it while I'm vacuuming. In fact, it's so effective that I'm amazed and having fun with it. I'm sure that will wear off as soon as it becomes more routine. When it arrived over the weekend, I couldn't wait for Monday to give it a whirl. What has two thumbs and gets excited to clean? Yes, THIS GUY! LOL. So, I gave it a go at my house on Sunday afternoon. I was able to do the ceiling corners for cobwebs, baseboards, blinds, window sills, kitchen cabinets, bathrooms and the like with amazing ease. Let's just say I'll be borrowing this from work occasionally. I was able to do the entire downstairs from one central outlet, and all of upstairs the same way in our 1,900 sq ft home in about an hour and a half. Mind you, It would go quicker if our home was cleaner to start with, and now that it's this easy, I won't stand to see cobwebs in the corners of the rooms as soon as I spot them. I do wish I had a better floor attachment for larger balls of fuzz for the shop, but I do have a unique situation, and I will find something that works. For my house, I was able to do it all without having to clear the filter. For work, I empty it out about three times before I'm done. Very pleased. I hope it keeps working like it does. It seems very sturdy and well made, but I just got it. I'll update my review if I have any problems. Read more
I used to own a cleaning company and can't imagine being without this tool. If you have hard surface floors and a lot of steps (carpeted or not) this is a must have. The price is reasonable and it's very quality made. You'll want to purchase the disposable bags that go in it to keep the cloth bag and filter clean. This product was developed with bad backs in mind. It actually makes you stand up straighter and it makes my back feel better! You can barely tell its on and it's great having your hands free and allows you to move around freely. The cord is super long. I've cleaned large commercial spaces and have only had to move the cord plug in placement once. The cord is actually an orange extension cord so would be easy to replace. The handle is very long. I wish they made a shorter accessory for it for smaller spaces, but for the most part, it's perfect. It has a strong motor and is quality made. I've used these for several years now commercially and they're still running great with no maintenance. The drop in bags are expensive but you won't go through them as fast on a residential use. You can go without them, but the cloth bag will need to be replaced more often. Filters, paper disposable bags and the cloth bag replacements are easily purchased on line. My husband demands to clean the floors now because he likes using this tool so much. You can see what is going into the bag which intrigues him and he likes how easy it is to sweep under furniture and the steps without having to bend over. If you accidentally sweep up something important, you can retrieve it easily. Read more
I have just ordered my third vacuum. I say “my third” because it is a great vacuum. I have a growing commercial cleaning company and this backpack works great. The reason for the star being taken away is because I have one purchased less than a year ago, I called customer support, then heard nothing. This should be covered by warranty but I have had no response. Very disappointing. Read more
We’ve been using the Hoover backpack vacuum for a few months now, and it’s an absolute game changer for our cleaning business! It’s lightweight, powerful, and surprisingly quiet—which is a huge plus when we're cleaning in homes with pets or kids. The suction is fantastic and easily tackles everything from fine dust to larger debris. The backpack design is comfortable and makes it so much easier to move around tight spaces or stairs without dragging a canister. Our team loves how much faster and more efficient it makes their jobs. Highly recommend for anyone serious about professional cleaning—this vacuum keeps up with our busiest days and never lets us down! Read more
