- Don’t forget to unplug the vacuum after each use. It will reduce the risk of inflammation. Make sure you pull the plug not the cord when unplugging the vac. Don’t forget to turn all the controls off before unplugging the device.
- Refrain from using the appliance if the cord is somehow damaged. Don’t allow children or people with limited physical or mental abilities to use the vacuum without supervision.
- Use the Hoover vacuum with the Hoover attachments and accessories only. Using the appliance with tools, brushes, or dustbin bags from other manufacturers can lead to the appliance malfunction.
- Make sure the airflow isn’t blocked. Don’t let hair, loose clothing, and other objects prevent normal air circulation since it will impact the suction power.

- Handle a power cord with care. Make sure that it doesn't tangle in the same places to avoid its quick wear and tear.
- Store an appliance in a dry place when it’s not in use.
- If the backpack vacuum housing needs cleaning, use a soft cloth to dust it off.
- In case of a malfunction, don’t try to repair the unit on your own. It's better to contact a certified service center in order not to do more damage.

What Is a Backpack Vacuum?
You have probably guessed what backpack vacuums are. As the name suggests, these are specifically designed vacuum cleaners that are worn over your back when in use, just like an ordinary backpack. With such a great number of vacuum types represented on the market, why might you need this one? Well, these vacs are appliances originally meant for commercial use and will become a great purchase for cleaning companies to provide professional cleaning services as well as for entrepreneurs who need to keep their working premises clean and neat.
Backpack vacuums have a number of features that make their use extremely convenient for commercial and industrial cleaning purposes. First of all, they boast better maneuverability than upright vacuums due to better ergonomics since you don't have to push or drag the unit itself. They ensure a more natural position of an operator that prevents vacs from tipping over or tangling in power cords. Thus, cleaning narrow hallways and hard-to-reach places like stairs, corners, and tricky crevices becomes the easiest thing ever. Secondly, backpack models have longer power cords than the ones for home use, so, you'll be able to clean larger premises without using an extension cord or constantly looking for a socket. Look through our backpack vacuum reviews and find out more about these appliances and choose the one to meet your commercial needs.
Heavy-duty floor polishers are other devices for commercial use that can help you keep uncarpeted floors in a brand new condition. And if you are into modern technologies, you might be interested in robotic vacuums that will literally do all floor cleaning job for you.
What Features to Compare
When it comes to choosing a backpack vacuum, one of the first things you want to pay your attention to is its performance that is determined by the unit type, motor power, and dustbin capacity.
- The majority of backpack vacuums are of the corded type which means they are connected to a constant power source so that you can spend as much time on floor cleaning as you need. Moreover, backpack models are usually equipped with long power cords to allow you to handle large premises with ease without using lengthy tangling extension cords.
- As it has been mentioned, backpack vacuums are mainly aimed for commercial use, so, they usually boast high motor power. Of course, it varies from model to model, but in general, the power of 10-12 Amps is enough to handle heavy-duty floor cleaning tasks. If you’re looking for a model for home use or small office, 8-9 Amps power will do for your needs.
- The dustbin capacity determines how long you can use your vacuum before changing the bin. The larger the capacity is, the less frequently you’ll need to replace paper bags in bins. Bin capacity of modern backpack vacs normally varies from 6 to 10 quarts.
Attachments are worth your consideration too since they define the functionality of the vacuum you choose. There is no need to explain what the all-in-one, upholstery, crevice, hard floor, or carpet tool is meant for since everything is clear from their names. These are the main brushes and nozzles that come with backpack vacuums. Yet, if some tools you might need are not included in the pack, you can always buy them optionally. The only thing to remember when buying attachments additionally is that they should be from the same manufacturer to fit the vacuum and to ensure its proper operation.
Did you know?
Advantages of Backpack Vacuums for Home and Commercial Use
- Backpack vacuums ensure a more natural body position of the operator. They save you the trouble of bending all the time while vacuum cleaning your premises, thus, eliminating the risk of back strain and excessive fatigue that might lead to some more serious back problems.
- As a rule, modern backpack vacs are equipped with onboard tool storage keeping all the necessary attachments for cleaning right at hand that is especially important for commercial cleanups of really large premises. Thanks to this very feature, cleaning with a backpack model is not only more convenient but also times faster than with an upright vacuum where you will have to get back to the closet to fetch the necessary attachment.
- Backpack vacuums come with 4-5 accessories for multiple cleaning tasks. Moreover, they usually have long flexible hoses and extension wands that allow you to clean hard-to-reach places like stairs, underneath furniture, or corners effortlessly.
Of course, backpack vacuums also have their disadvantages and you want to be aware of them before choosing this very type of cleaner. The name of a backpack vacuum implies that you will wear it on your back. Although the manufacturers of these appliances try to make them as ergonomic as possible, you can still sweat when wearing these vacs. So pay close attention to the materials the waist belt and straps are made of to ensure the maximum comfortable usage. Another drawback of these appliances is that they aren’t suitable for cleaning small rooms. You simply won’t have enough space for cleaning closets or narrow halls conveniently.
Now, when you know all the pros and cons of vacuum cleaners, it’s up to you to decide whether this appliance will meet your home and commercial cleaning needs.
Some Facts You Didn't Know About Vacuum Cleaners
- There is a Museum of Vacuum Cleaners in St. James, Missouri. It is the first museum of a kind to be ever opened. The idea to open a museum of vacuum cleaners belongs to Tom Gasko. This man has been interested in vacuum cleaners, their designs, and operation principles from his teenage years. He started to collect various models of vacuums and had gathered the collection of more than 600 appliances by the late 2000s. Initially, the museum was aimed at teaching engineers at the factories specializing in the appliance production about the history of vacuum cleaners. Later on, local people also became interested in this museum, so it became public in 2009. You can visit the museum 6 days a week to learn more about professional vacs, models for home use and much more information about the appliances the whole cleaning philosophy of the 20th and 21st centuries is based on.
- Hoover is another word for a vacuum cleaner that became popular in the USA with the appearance of the Hoover company. Its story began in 1907 when Murray Spangler invented a device that not only cleaned the surface but also reduced the amount of dust, one of the strongest allergens, in the air. William Henry Hoover got interested in Spangler’s invention and bought the rights to produce and sell the appliances based on his technology. Nowadays, Hoover is one of the most popular vacuum cleaner manufacturers all over the world that can offer a great range of vacs of numerous types including backpack vacuum cleaners.
