We often talk about vacuum cleaners here on The Comac Blog as they are fundamental tools in the professional cleaning field. We can say that there is no place without at least one vacuum. This is the reason why there are so many models with different accessories designed to solve any cleaning need. Among the many vacuum cleaners models, we have also the shoulder vacuums which, thanks to their practicality, can be used everywhere. For this reason, it can be difficult to understand if these vacuum cleaners may be the ideal solution for you. To help you choose, we have listed the 6 advantages of backpack vacuum cleaners.
What are backpack vacuum cleaners?
As always, we like to start with the basics before exploring the 6 benefits of backpack vacuum cleaners. These vacuums are called both shoulder vacuums and backpack vacuums, but the concept is always the same: they are professional vacuum cleaners that are carried like a backpack, or rather on the shoulders of those who use them. They work like a standard professional vacuum cleaner, so they are equipped with a motor, filtration system, tank and accessories. But backpack vacuums also have padding foam and adjustable straps, and often the accessory belt as well. They can be electric (also called cable) or battery powered, to offer complete freedom of movement for users.
The 6 advantages of backpack vacuum cleaners
To help you understand if they are the right tool for your cleaning operations, we now list the 6 advantages of backpack vacuum cleaners:
Backpack vacuum cleaners increase productivity
Backpack vacuums help to simplify cleaning operations in narrow spaces or difficult to reach places. For example, with shoulder vacuum cleaners you can vacuum air vents, shutters and stairs quickly and easily, reducing the time spent on cleaning and thus increasing productivity. The backpack vacuum cleaners offer great freedom of movement, especially in the battery versions. The latter are usually equipped with lithium-ion batteries that allow you to work for up to 1 or 2 hours on a single charge, without having to worry about the wire or the presence of a power outlet.
Backpack vacuums increase safety
The safety of those who work and those who are nearby is always a fundamental aspect. And on this subject, backpack vacuum cleaners have the advantage of simplifying cleaning operations, thus making them even safer. This is especially true for battery-operated backpack vacuums, which allow you to concentrate on cleaning rather than maneuvering the cord. But the electric versions also offer great freedom of movement and allow you to work safely in the narrowest places without having to worry about the tank, as happens with traditional vacuum cleaners.
Backpack vacuum cleaners are ergonomic
Precisely because they were designed to be carried on the shoulder without tiring the operator, backpack vacuum cleaners are designed by applying the most recent ergonomic studies. Indeed, they are light and equipped with accessories such as padded and adjustable shoulder straps. Often the shoulder vacuums are also equipped with accessory belts to support the operator during the various activities. Furthermore, they are extremely easy to handle as you don’t have to worry about dragging the tank during use, which is particularly convenient when you have to vacuum the stairs, for example. Remember that in order not to tire the operator, it is important to always make sure that the backpack vacuum cleaner is assembled and positioned correctly before its use.
Extreme versatility for backpack vacuum cleaners
Versatility is one of the key benefits of backpack vacuum cleaners. In fact, they can literally be taken anywhere you can walk. They are perfect for vacuuming offices, hotels, conference rooms, cinemas, theaters, planes, trains, restaurants, gyms, shops, schools… Backpack vacuum cleaners are a fundamental tool for cleaning companies and for anyone who needs to use the same vacuum cleaner on multiple work sites. Furthermore, thanks to the accessories, they allow you to clean floors, carpets, upholstery, furniture and many other surfaces that are difficult to reach with a traditional vacuum cleaner.
Simple to use and to clean
Ease of use is part of the ergonomic studies, but it is worth listing it among the 6 advantages of backpack vacuum cleaners. Few practical controls for starting the vacuum and accessories that are always ready to use thanks to the belt. But simplicity is not the only aspect that makes them practical, they are also easy to clean and reduce the time spent on maintenance. Especially if we think of the battery-powered versions that don’t need to replace the electric wire that inevitably wears out after many hours of work.
Backpack vacuum cleaners improve the air quality
As for traditional professional vacuum cleaners, the filters are also of the HEPA type for the backpack vacuums. These filters allow you to capture particles invisible to the human eye such as mites, molds, pollen, spores, allergens and bacteria. So, in addition to dust, a backpack vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter is able to retain allergens and most of the particles present in the environments where we live. This means vacuums always return clean air.
Always choose a professional backpack vacuum cleaner
After reading the 6 advantages of backpack vacuum cleaners to understand if they are the right cleaning solution for you, please always evaluate professional models when purchasing. In addition to the quality of the materials with which they are built, professional backpack vacuum cleaners are designed to allow the operator to work safely and without tiring.
