Sanitaire SC412A 12 Amp Commercial Back Pack Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this vacuum for the better part of a year now, and wanted to spread the word about it! Canister-style vacuums are better than uprights for use on hard floors, but they are cumbersome to maneuver. This unit is carried on your body like a backpack, with shoulder straps and a waist harness, so only the power cord trails behind you.
Although you must carry the weight of the machine, the design is actually much better for someone (like me) with back problems because it is easier to maintain a proper body position. (Ever noticed how you lean forward when you're vacuuming? That is terrible for your lower back!) The machine is also very lightweight (ten pounds or so?) and well-distributed across the back; it should be manageable for most adults. All of this really comes together when you get to your stairs. For that job, I use only the flexible hose (no extension wand) and the small accessory tools. I kneel on one step, and can comfortably reach the next couple of steps by hand. I still can't believe how easy that job has become for me.
Another outstanding feature -- even carried so close to the ears, this machine is quieter than any other I have used.
The design is not perfect. In particular, the joint of the extension wand to the flexible hose is a problem. It takes muscle to attach the two pieces, and they can work loose during use. Storing the power cord is also a nuisance -- it's not retractable like most canisters, and there are not even pegs to wind it around like a standard upright. A little padding on the shoulder straps would be nice, too.
Finally, I have seen canister vacuums that come with a rotating brush attachment for use on carpet. This vacuum has an accessory that is meant for carpets, but high-quality, plush carpeting needs to be agitated. I have an upright for the carpeted second floor in my home. If I could find that accessory, I'd pitch the other machine completely.
I hope Sanitaire will work on those features in future models because backpack vacuums deserve a bigger market share. I'd like to see this machine get its due notice. In the meantime, I highly recommend this unit for anyone with mostly hard flooring in their homes.

Oreck XL Pro Commercial 6 Quart Commercial Backpack Vacuum Cleaner Model XLPRO6A Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this vacuum. I just got it yesterday and I put it together and had it going within minutes. I vacuumed my whole house (2500 square feet) in 15 minutes. It's lightweight and the suction is awesome. I also used it on my furniture to get pet hair and it worked awesome. I am a cleaning lady and I can't wait to use it on Monday at my first client's house!
The 50 foot cord is great because you just plug into the middle of your house and you never have to unplug, just keep going until it's done. It even works on plush carpet as it's a hard plastic, it just runs over it sucking all the dirt up!
Downside: it doesn't have a horsetail brush for wood floors as to not scratch them. Looking for one of those right now!

Carpet Pro Scbp-1 Backpack Vacuum Cleaner By Smart Choice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband bought me one of these for Christmas, and it is the best present ever! It has stronger suction than a central vac. I vacuumed all of the hard surfaces in my large house in less than 20 minutes (including the stairs). It is super lightweight (I am a very small person so I was worried about it being too heavy) and so easy to use. It takes a minute to set up, but I can clean so much faster than a regular upright. This vacuum is going to completely change the way I clean. I have three sons and a dog and it picks EVERYTHING up. Awesome!
