Best commercial vacuum
I've had this vacuum for over a year and it still works great. I clean air bnb units and this vacuum makes it so much easier. Great suction and attachments . Definitely worth the money.

Excellent product
For me, this is definitely one of the best options. Since I work in cleaning, I find it very practical—it’s not too heavy, and best of all, it saves a lot of time compared to regular sweeping. It’s easy to clean—simply perfect! 👌 10/10

I'm very pleased. Surprisingly better than expected.
I work in a place where we have tons of material on carts everywhere, 36 work stations, thread and material everywhere. At the end of the week, it's fuzz for days everywhere. We use a lot of compressed air to blow the debris on the floor out from under workstations and material handling carts, but there's so much back and forth blowing and sweeping the same fuzz from place to place. This is great for our purposes as we can have a "blower" and a "sucker" working together to minimize the back and forth and dealing with the same fuzz that often just gets moved around the shop. It is really easy to navigate through our maze of stuff to get places that we couldn't practically get to before. You still have to think about the cord a bit, but it's SO much easier than trying to drag a shop vac around our crowded floor space. I find it to be very light weight for it's effectiveness, and it's comfortable enough to wear that I don't even think about it while I'm vacuuming. In fact, it's so effective that I'm amazed and having fun with it. I'm sure that will wear off as soon as it becomes more routine. When it arrived over the weekend, I couldn't wait for Monday to give it a whirl. What has two thumbs and gets excited to clean? Yes, THIS GUY! LOL. So, I gave it a go at my house on Sunday afternoon. I was able to do the ceiling corners for cobwebs, baseboards, blinds, window sills, kitchen cabinets, bathrooms and the like with amazing ease. Let's just say I'll be borrowing this from work occasionally. I was able to do the entire downstairs from one central outlet, and all of upstairs the same way in our 1,900 sq ft home in about an hour and a half. Mind you, It would go quicker if our home was cleaner to start with, and now that it's this easy, I won't stand to see cobwebs in the corners of the rooms as soon as I spot them. I do wish I had a better floor attachment for larger balls of fuzz for the shop, but I do have a unique situation, and I will find something that works. For my house, I was able to do it all without having to clear the filter. For work, I empty it out about three times before I'm done. Very pleased. I hope it keeps working like it does. It seems very sturdy and well made, but I just got it. I'll update my review if I have any problems.

Great vacuum but know what you're getting!
First and foremost, this is a commercial vacuum designed for heavy duty cleanup in large facilities without a lot of obstacles in your way, not a typical household. That said, it's a great vacuum as long as you keep that in mind. I chose to get it for use in my home which again is not really a fair thing to criticize it over but if you are looking to do the same, this info should help you. The Good: Excellent suction power. Excellent for cleaning smooth flooring and low-pile carpet. Super-long reach for getting dust bunnies and cobwebs out of those high corners. The Less Good: Don't even think about it for pile carpet, just no. The paper 'bags' are a hassle but seem worth it for ease of cleanup. Some folks claim you can use the paper bags alone but the unit is clearly designed to have the paper bag sit on top of the mesh bag, the main reason being to maintain suction power. The attachments are actually pretty decent but the usability for a typical home is pretty terrible. The main thing is the aluminum tube comes in 2 sections but for almost no purpose other than I suppose ease of shipping. You can't use half the tube with attachments, period. You can attach them to the full length of the connected tubes (awkward) or directly to the unfortunately short flexible black hose, there is no middle ground. So for getting into those really tight nooks to nab the big dust collections you'll just have to dismount the unit and do your best. So again, not a 'home vac' but if you want to use it that way like me, know what you're getting.

Seriously, an awesome vacuum!
(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.

Great vac!!!
Works great!! I loved my cordless Dyson but it was coming to the end of its life and I was tired of not being able to vacuum my entire house on a single charge so I decided to get a corded vac again. PROs: great suction, super duper long cord, can vac entire house at one time (vs using a cordless that loses charge half way through) glides smoothly on HARD floors, nice long handle that is shaped in such a way that it will go underneath furniture on feet, wide head so that can vac a wider path and get done quicker, large dirt canister, easy to put on back, comfy enough to wear CONs: obviously the cord—it’s great that it’s long but it does get in the way a bit, awkward to use in tight spaces—not good if all rooms are small because you’ll be hitting walls with the long handle or bumping them with backpack, wide head doesn’t fit into tight spaces so might need to do some areas with a vac with smaller head, dirt canister is a pain to clean out (can’t just quickly dump like a bagless vac), does not glide on carpeted surfaces—seems like you have to vac at just the right angle otherwise it kind of “catches” (don’t mean snag, just doesn’t glide) since there are no wheels on the head, definitely not as convenient as a cordless and so I don’t vac as often as I should cuz it takes more time to assemble, takes more storage space Despite all the CONs, I still highly recommend this vac, but I think the CONs need to be considered to see if it would work in your situation. In my opinion it was a great vac for a great price (I got it while on sale)

Cord is only a foot long; can't be used with extension cords 🙃
Probably a fine vacuum; while setting mine up and reading the manual, it explicitly says not to use it with an extension cord, yet comes with an extension cord and directs you to use an extension cord, just 2 pages after explicitly telling you to never use it with an extension cord. That seems like a liability to me, but I guess I can use that extension cord for something else in my house. Since you can't use one with this, the actual cord is only about a foot long. I can't vacuum much if I have to be within 1 foot of an outlet, so I'm knocking 3 stars off for that. It vacuums great within 1 foot of each outlet, as the hose and extensions help quite a bit, but it's very difficult to finagle around to actually get all the areas, since you basically have to sit on the floor to have it plugged in, so I'm knocking another star off for that. I would knock another star off if I could, since there's no way to email or chat with their customer support about this; their website doesn't even acknowledge that this model exists in the help section, so... I guess we're on our own and buyer beware! (I know, I know; this should be a minor thing, but seriously? How can you expect users to read the manual when your copy writers don't even read it? And why have no way to communicate electronically with someone about it? It's 2025.)

Great Vac, but Wand pieces dont stay togehter!!
First, I want to say everything about this vacuum is exactly what I wanted and expected, except the wand pieces are defective...and I'll update review accordingly to how that is handled. I was very excited to get this, bought it for myself before Christmas. We have mainly hard floors and flat carpet, and my old Dyson weight a ton and lugging that thing behind me when vacuuming drove me crazy. Very cumbersome, always fell over, dragged it into furniture, etc... The though of a quality Back-pack Vac was great for my purposes, because of the flexibility to vacuum large swaths, get into corners easily, move things without disrupting vacuuming, all the while dragging just a cord. Its not for everyone, but if you are relatively active, fit, and want to get things done quickly, give it a shot. My first vacuuming was great. Great suction, easy to use, a lot of attachments. Its goign to take a few to figure out the most efficiently way to swap attachemnts during vacuuming, but like anythign, you need to adapt to and build up an appropriate operational work protocol. Beware! One Major Flaw. The wand pieces I received, do NOT stay together. When pushing on carpet, the top wand piece slides 1/2" forward into the bottom wand piece, and the locking pin unlocks and then the two pieces twist and come apart. Very frustrating if this is a design flaw. But if its an issue with my particular wand pieces, I am sure Hoover will honor a replacement wand. I am going to contact the manufacturer directly tomorrow to address this and we'll see

Dust and Dirt Be Gone.
Serious vacuuming power. Love the extra long power cord. Plug it in the center of the house and can reach 85% of the area. Especially love the backpack feature as it make vacuuming easy and way less tiresome, especially going up and down stairs. The attachments are great and can reach pretty much everywhere. Not too loud considering it's right on your back. Sure made spring cleaning easier.

Great vac
Just got this and tried it out on my office floors. We have mostly wood floors on 4 levels. Great suction and I really like the long arm. Backpack is very comfortable and not as heavy as expected. Nice long cord too.

Disappointed. Accessories won't attach, Poor suction
I am returning this item. I’m genuinely disappointed. I purchased it after reading many positive reviews here and on YouTube, so I had high expectations. I needed it for a post‑renovation job and it was my only vacuum, but the accessories would not stay attached, despite following the instructions I found on YouTube. It was embarrassing and extremely inconvenient. I had no other vacuum available, so I had to keep using it even though the attachments kept falling off while I worked... eventually I had to stop using it and had to drive back home to pick up my cheap runned down Bisell Vacuum that works better. On top of that, the suction is quite weak. I’m not sure if I received a defective unit, but overall this was a letdown.

Bustin’ makes me feel good!
I love this vacuum so far! I purchased it to use in our commercial space that often has a dog hanging out in it. The vacuum is great for pet hair, it’s so much more convenient to maneuver than a vacuum with a drag along part! It cut my vacuuming time in half. It’s nice and light, easy on your back and comfortable to carry. Also, I feel like a ghostbuster when I’m cleaning.
