Backpack vacuum cleaners are not just for
industrial cleaning use any more. Neither are they built solely for the
commercial cleaners. It seems that all
manufacturers of vacuum cleaners either have, or are coming out with, their own
backpack vacuum.
The days when an
industrious employee rigged up a few straps on his trusty Shop Vac and cut his
cleaning time in half has given way to new models that were designed and built
to be carried on one’s back.
Each of the entries in the field of
backpack cleaners has its own particular advantages and disadvantages. It takes a careful review of all the
information about each manufacturer’s models to select the one that best fits
your needs.
One of the key
considerations in the evaluation would have to be the configuration of the
backpack vacuum itself. The same
cautions would be true for a vacuum cleaner backpack as it does to one used on
hikes or mountain climbing. The straps
must feel comfortable and the pack itself must have a way to distribute weight
off of the shoulders and onto the hips.
A second item to compare would be the availability and type of
accessories. If the accessories are not
made for portability (small and lightweight), use with a backpack rig is going
to be a problem.
Best
of the Backpacks
If one asked ten people what the best
automobile in the world is, there would probably be twelve answers. Critical reviews of cleaning products are
still in their infancy, and focus more on engineering issues than usability
where the beater meets the carpet.
wo
of the players in this market are ProTeam and Oreck. While ProTeam has put more emphasis on the
backpack line of cleaners, Oreck has the advantage of their well-known filtration
system. A look at the accessories of
both shows that they were paying attention to their customers.
Finally, there are choices when it comes
to backpack cleaners. The two that seem
to be at the top of the heap when it comes to professional grade cleaners that
can be used in the home are the Oreck XL Pro and the ProTeam Sierra. Whether you are cleaning your new restaurant
or cleaning up after the kids, these two powerful vacuum cleaners deserve a
look.
A careful review of all the
information and a comparison to your requirements will result in the selection
of the correct backpack vac to meet your particular needs.
