How to Select a Backpack Vacuum For Your Business

Commercial backpack vacuums can clean wide open spaces and tight corners better than upright vacuum cleaners. They are perfect for janitorial teams that have to vacuum large areas like hotel rooms or school classrooms during business hours when most people are in the building. They also allow janitors to maneuver in obstructed areas, such as behind desks or under cubicles.

In addition to high suction power, a quality commercial backpack vacuum should be lightweight. A weight that is too heavy can cause back strain and fatigue in the operator. The best lightweight backpack vacuums feature a comfortable harness and a lightweight canister that can be easily moved from room to room. They also include a wide range of tools that can tackle any job. This ProTeam Super Coach backpack vac has a powerful 10-quart capacity and includes upholstery and soft dusting tools. It has a 50-foot extension cord to cover large spaces and is good for pet hair removal.

The most important factor when selecting a backpack vacuum for your business is the fit. Backpack vacuums should be positioned so that the contact points with the body are the waist, hips, shoulders and chest. This distribution of weight makes the machine less taxing for operators when compared to upright vacuums.

In fact, studies have shown that a commercial backpack vacuum can increase worker productivity by up to 230% when compared to an upright model. This increased productivity can help a cleaning company increase revenue by getting the job done faster and more thoroughly.
