Great vacuum! My house is all hard-surface floors and this vacuum makes it easy to vacuum the entire house quickly and easily. The vacuum has good suction. The filters are easy to change and replacements are relatively inexpensive. It is easy to put on, comfortable to wear, it doesn’t make a ton of noise and I have had no issues with the air discharge being right behind me. The cord is long and it is replaceable so if the 50′ cord it comes with you can easily (without tools) swap it out for an extension cord of whatever length you want. The only two challanges I have had with this vacuum are that there is a long cord to manage when you are storing it and there isn’t an “on-board” way to store accessories. I ended up making a clip-hook belt and attaching it to the vacuum to hold the accessories so I had them with me when I needed them rather than walking back-and-forth to keep moving them through the house.

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.

I deal with a ton of builders dust. Most people will never understand the hardships of finding anything that works to get it off any hard floor.Starting with the cons:Comes with a crappy S wand that you have to be a giant to hold and use properly. Easy fix order a 32mm straight wand or an adjustable one. When doing this you have to remove the hose adjuster out of the end of the it and stuff it in the black hose. To make it fit.There is no easy way to clean bag with out getting dust all over your self. Do this outside.It does not hold as much as advertised without losing suction.ProsEasy to useOnce set up with straight wand it actually works betterMakes the toughest jobs easier!Does not take up a lot of space!Longest cord on any vacuum I have ever owned most other canister vacuums you have to buy the extension cord.

This came with a long (50′) extension cord, which was a welcome surprise. The unit fits well in the small of my back, and I really like the velcro closure on the wide belt – Very comfortable. The harness is well designed to keep the pressure off of your body, so you have complete freedom of movement. This vac is very quiet – no motor noise near your head/ears like the other units I’ve had. Suction is powerful, and I like the wide nozzle that I use on hard floors – no crumbs or fuzz escape this air pull. I also like the way the end nozzles connect to the wand, as it allows for a full 360 degree swivel. The aluminum wand tubes are not heavy, and you can tell that they are well made. I use the paper Hoover Bp bags so I don’t have to bother with cleaning the filter itself after each use. Changing the bag is a quick simple operation, as the clear dome is kept in place by two toggle-type clamps. The only thing I would improve would be the placement of the on/off switch, as I have to reach backwards with my left arm/hand to turn the unit on & off, but this is no big deal at all. Overall, I really like this unit & recommend it to anyone looking for a strong & quiet back-vac. A one year warranty came with it as well.

I was worried at first since the Hoover has 8.5 amps, so I’ve been using it to clean small buildings. I have an old Proteam Vac that has high raw power, but I see that raw power is useless. The Hoover vac has very good suction and one of the best vacuum wands/brushes I have ever used. The wand is the best for commercial carpet. I found the brush easily removes dirt on heavy rugs. I vacuum about 4-6 hours a day and always had backaches with the Proteam vacs, also the Proteam vacs hurt my lower abs after a long period of time. The Hoover vac after 4-6 hours of use only left my back slightly tired which is natural for the period of time I vacuum.

I’ve had this over 1 year and my cleaning company has cleaned over 200 houses with it. It has held up nicely. I’m looking to purchase a second machine. I’ve found that the back gets too dirty and the paper bags only will bust due to a rock or something small being forced through and popping a hole into it. So what I do is put the paper bag you can order for this model over the cloth one it comes with. That way you can replace the paper bag for $1 a week or two versus a $35 dollar bag every couple months. That’s if you are using for a cleaning business. Good machine. Last forever. Way better than a dyson and more affordable than a proteam

(Disclaimer: I really like vacuums. I don’t really know why, and no I don’t have a weird or inappropriate obsession, I just find vacuums fun). Holy guacamole! This vacuum is AWESOME. I bought this vacuum to use as part of a small cleaning operation I have going on the weekends. It has satisfied my expectations and then some.PROS:-This vacuum is powerful. I spent a good amount of time talking with one of the custodians at work about the pros and cons of different backpack vacuums. I landed on this one for its performance/price. This is not one of the high-priced commercial backpack vacuums but I feel confident that I am getting the same (if not better, in some instances) power and effectiveness out of this vacuum for ~60% of the price.-The vacuum is versatile. The many attachments, the length of the extensions, the way the head swivels, all combine to provide an incredibly easy and thorough vacuuming experience. It is just as easy to vacuum ceilings and vents as it is to vacuum hard floors. One of my favorite applications is as a duster. This vacuum makes dusting certain areas incredibly easy (and I hate dusting). It obviously does not work well for dusting shelves full of objects, but the following areas are great examples: blinds and the part that holds the blinds (don’t know what it’s called haha), molding, vents, certain light fixtures, under and above cabinets, on and around washer/dryer, etc.-This vacuum has changed my opinion about vacuuming stairs. Vacuuming stairs used to be a tedious, difficult, and frankly annoying job. This vacuum has taken what used to be a 10-20 minute job (depending on the staircase) and turned it into a 2 minute job.-The vacuum design is actually a rather simple one, and as such cleaning it and keeping it clean are very easy. There are no difficult nooks or crannies to work with, and most parts seemed designed to last a long time.-When worn properly, this vacuum is comfortable.CONS:-The vacuum takes some getting used to. Trying to get the vacuum on and comfortable takes time. I figure it’s a matter of trial and error. For someone not familiar with using backpack vacuums, it can definitely take some time to learn to navigate smaller areas differently. After a few minutes, especially if you’re wearing the vacuum correctly, you can forget that there is a relatively large object attached to your back. I have bumped into a few things this way (not a major deal, just something to think bout).-This vacuum is not designed to clean carpets, and that is obvious. It is awesome at cleaning super-low pile carpets (like those in schools and offices), but anything above that is out of the question. Carpeted applications really require a beater brush and something with wheels, which this vacuum obviously does not have.-This vacuum is NOT a wet vacuum. It is absolutely not designed to pick up liquids and they should definitely be avoided. (As a tip: the custodian I have become friends with has mentioned that pouring baking soda on liquids and then vacuuming up the baking soda works extremely well and helps to navigate around this issue).Overall, the vacuum is amazing for doing what it’s intended to do! If you’re looking for something to make vacuuming hard floors even easier (whether it’s a commercial application or even a household application) then this is the vacuum for you. The fact that it is designed for commercial use means you can feel comfortable using it “outside” on porches, decks, garages, etc.

I purchased the vac to pick up dog hair and dirt from our hardwood floor. 2800 sq. house. All hardwoods. We have two dogs and one of them sheds a lot. Waiting for the maid to come every week was not cutting it. I would consider this vac to be one of my successful purchases on Amazon. It picks up everything and is very easy to use. Its cords length is long and perfect. I only have to plug it in once to do the whole house. And another great feature is that it is very easy to clean. The outer basket filter comes out easily and the hepa filter never has any hair or dust on it meaning that the outer basket picks up all of the hair and dust. It is very easy to use and the angle of the metal vac wand allows me to get under all the furniture without banging the front of the furniture. This unity is very well designed . A monkey could use this thing.

Bought in Nov 2016 for our business cleaning houses. I use it at home too. I did a lot of research comparing backpack vacuums beforehand. I’ve used the $400-$500 Proteam backpack vacuums when I worked for another guy, and while those were great, I hated how the hose always swung around where you didn’t want it to go (on the Proteams). The Hoover’s quality is the same, if not better. I do like how incredibly easy it is to clean; just dump the filter into a trash can in your garage to avoid a mess. It starts to get hot on my back after about an hour which is fine–I’m rarely vacuuming that long anyway. It’s lightweight, and really comfortable! I think the smaller canister design (vs. the 10 qt.) probably helps cut down on weight, and I could never fill up either size canister in a day of vacuuming either. Love this thing!!UPDATE: 9 months later–still love it. Dependable & haven’t had to buy a new filter yet!

Sweeping wood floors with a broom literally seems like you just chase dust and dog hair around in circles. I also live in a log home so often instead of dusting I prefer to vacuum logs and this is perfect for that task!! This Hoover is amazing! It is light weight and once adjusted on your back it’s sturdy and doesn’t pull or swing. The attachments maneuver easily and make getting around things so easy. The suction is really great! The brush attachment seems to decrease that a tiny bit. But overall the suction is better than any other standard vacuum I have owned. I’m really pleased with this machine and look forward to seeing how durable it is over time!
