Positives and Negatives of Backpack Vacuums

By: Bill Boor

If you are similar to many individuals, you are used to cleaning your home using an upright or canister vacuum cleaner. However, if you examine cleaning professionals like those working for hotel or home cleaning services, you may be surprised to learn that the professionals often choose to use a backpack vacuum cleaner instead. But why is this the case? Why do those who use vacuum cleaners the most often select backpack vacuums over the standard upright versions of vacuum cleaners?
There are many different answers. To start, it is much easier and quicker to move about using a backpack vacuum. Vacuuming in tight spaces or up and down stairs and under and on top of furniture, is much easier with a backpack vacuum. Many backpack vacuum models are also suitable for outdoor cleaning applications, and you can also easily walk between your house and your car to do your cleaning. For those with hardwood floors, a backpack vacuum cleaner also eliminates problems with the vacuum scratching the floor as it is being used.
You may, however, be concerned by the weight of a backpack vacuum. Previously backpack vacuum cleaners may have been a bit heavy for some users, but modern versions often weigh less than ten pounds and are often much lighter than a canister or upright vacuum. They are also surprisingly powerful given their weight, and many come fitted with state of the art allergy filters and other useful cleaning accessories.
Still, backpack vacuum may not be for everybody. Backpack vacuum cleaners are not the most powerful type of vacuum available. In general, canister vacuums are more powerful. But for most household cleaning jobs (and many commercial ones) backpack vacuums are completely adequate. Another challenge is being sure the backpack vacuum cleaner you purchase fits properly. Unfortunately, many retail outlets do not yet have a wide selection of models to select, and those they have in stock may be high in price. You may find the cheapest prices by shopping online, but this also makes it difficult to try on different models to see which fits best. If you do decide to buy a backpack vacuum online, you should make sure there is a suitable return policy in case it does not fit you right.
Many will find changing to a backpack vacuum cleaner from an upright model makes their vacuuming chores much easier and quicker. It is for this reason that backpack vacuums are gaining quickly in popularity. With some careful comparison shopping, you should be able to find a backpack vacuum cleaner model that both fits right and is in your price range.
