back pack vac

[Steve in Omaha]

Anybody using back pack vacs in the commercial arena, to do the detail vacuuming? Have plenty of hardware for the traffic areas, just thinking the back pack with a crevice tool might just be the ticket for the corners, etc. Recommended model(s)?

pro's con's ?

Thanks

I have several pro team back packs I use for just about all my commercial work and to vacuum stairs, under beds and upholstery, they go where an upright can't

I don't use the ez glide head, I buy an air driven vac head for the vacuum

We use oreck backpacs, wonderful units. Some are 7-8 years old and only the straps on the harness have been replaced.

Stay away from anything else oreck

It's great for corners and reaching under on jobs but won't replace your floor vac. We use it for new construction clean up, walls, ceilings, mold and when ever we need to hepa vac. We use it weekly not daily but it's a must have for us.

The proteam super coach is great. I think its called the super coach, something like that.

They really help speed up the vacuuming.

Richard that tech needs a long straight vac tube that is available from Hesco for $22.
Bending over like that will catch up with anyone.

Thanks Randy I appreciate the info.

Yes you are right about bending over, this photo was from 2/15/06, we have since used an extension.

It didn't take them long to complain and they took extensions from the fire crews who use them when vacuuming textured ceilings.
