Questions & Answers

Do you get swept away if you cross a river?

It is never a good idea to cross rivers. You should never!

It wasn't very intelligent of me to ask that question- Mostly the carpet goes on the hardwood floor, but the carpet mostly goes on the carpet- It would be great to have the measurement. ?

There is a vacuum in my possession. I could not understand what you were asking. My favorite part about the vacuum is the tools that go with it. The only problem I have ever found is that when I turn around in a time place, my backpack hits the ground. It is really amazing that the air-powered carpet attachment for a Pyle spins fast even on carpet. I have a fairly deep Pyle on some carpet, and the attachment spins fast on the carpet as well. It appears to be overengineered to use dirt bags. There is sufficient suction for dust to be drawn in that is within a few inches of the attachment.

When you sit on your back, does it get hot?

During the day, it does not get extremely One of the places I clean once a week is a chiropractic office. I think it takes me about 30 minutes You need to vacuum for 40 minutes. It is normal for my back to become sweaty when I take the pack off, but it doesn't bother me too much. There's a lot of sweat at work. The way things are, that's how they are. There is nothing I like more than the maneuverability of the vacuum. The equipment and treatment tables are in tight spaces, but it's very easy to reach them.

Does this vacuum make a lot of noise?

There is a lot of noise, as loud as My hearing damage is in the range of what it would hit, so I wear ear plugs with plungers (better than the squishy ones) and ear muffs when it hits that level. If so, then I will accept it. This battery pack is comparable to a commercial backpack in terms of its power. The 12 years we spent as janitors were a lot of fun. To my knowledge, the best way to protect your hearing is to do so as regularly Don't let the damage accumulate. Damage is a cumulative thing, keep the damage from happening.

Hard surfaces and hardwood alike are great for this product
5/5

What a great idea! In a nutshell As a longtime upright vacuum user, I noticed when I moved into my house that what I used to use seemed inadequate for its hardwood and tile floors. . . I was unsure how to proceed. I started my search on Amazon for a reasonably priced backpack vac after seeing the guys at work and the gym use them, which led me to this site. My opinion of backpack vacuums in general and this particular vacuum in particular has been completely changed. My favorite thing about it is how The device is streamlined, takes up little space, and is light enough for you to easily carry it around. There could be a little more cushioning on the straps since it chafes when wearing a tank top in the summer, but it's not a big deal. As long as I get it low enough, I can even get under beds, which is extremely useful for me. I can adjust the pole almost flat, making it very easy to use under beds. Other than the turbo brush that is included with the unit, all of the tools work well. While it can be used in a pinch, it will take a long time to make even a 5 by It might be worth it to go with the more expensive model with the electric motor if you really need to use it on carpet or rugs. I just keep my old hoover for that purpose. As a starting point for the video, I give an overview of the unit and show Towards the end of the video, it is shown in comparison to an upright vacuum with beater bars to illustrate the difference of clean Though this unit isn't made for carpet, I thought it might be useful for people to get an idea of what's involved when using this unit on carpet runners. As a whole A backpack vacuum like this one is excellent. The vacuum has a lot of power and features that will allow me to efficiently and effectively maintain the cleanliness of my house. Totally true! I am finding that I take much longer to vacuum now than before, but it's just because the wand and attachments make it so easy for me to get in and out of There has never been a cleaner house in my life! Adding a correction In the manual, a blower tool is shown instead of the turbo vacation attachment that came with the unit when it purchased it. I thought the blower nozzle was missing when I first bought it, but it has since been removed.

Warranty does not mean anything! The pros are Please note *br* The backpack I'm wearing has a logo on it
3/5

The handpieces are lightweight since they are in a backpack. The cons are Please note *br* There is no comfort or security in the straps and back pad. Please note *br* Straps are made of plastic, and can break easily, so you end up with a briefcase rather than a backpack. Please note *br* It has very little suction and is unable to pick up sand from polished concrete even though it is loud. Please note *br* It is difficult to wrap up this vacuum vacuum for storage since there is no cable management. Please note *br* There is no value in the Greatvacs warranty When shipping to or from, they expect you to pay, even if they do not send anything Please introduce yourself We offer replacement parts for your machine. I have never seen such a bad product from such a bad company. You should stay away from.

It is a great vacuum for the price and is well built, plus the customer service is top notch
5/5

Having purchased 3 of these vacuums, I find them to be the best value for the price. They work wonderfully, and their performance is comparable to vacuums that are 3X more expensive. I own a cleaning business so these are used every day, and they have proven to work Generally, we use them for vacuuming hard floors, but they can also handle carpets and upholstery quite well when they are equipped with the right attachment. In my opinion, the air-powered carpet attachment is just okay, so if you plan on vacuuming carpet with this vacuum, I recommend the electric powered carpet attachment instead. Most of our carpeted areas are vacuumed with upright vacuums, and we use this vacuum for all hard floors. It's great that the bags last for a long time and that the HEPA filter is effective. One complaint I have is that the hose attachment, as well as the shoulder straps are not quite as good as some other brands. In spite of those things, it is hard to complain for the price. Moreover, I have always found Great Vacs to have excellent customer service, and they have always helped me with whatever issues In the future, I will definitely purchase more of these. My opinion is that it is not worth spending $500 or more Spending $600 on a vacuum from Pro Teams. It's really nice, however, in my opinion, the performance vs. the price just isn't worth the price. We've been using these vacuums for a couple of years and they're great for our needs. A backpack vacuum is one of the best vacuum cleaners, even for average consumers. Compared to sweeping, this method is far superior, and reduces the amount of time spent on it.

I liked that it was comfortable to wear and that it did what it promised
5/5

The product is worth the price it's advertised at. It's lightweight, comfortable to wear, and it does what it says it's going to do. If you're trying to use it for commercial purposes, don't knock it. There is no way to use it I was a little concerned about the carpet cleaning attachment, but the room I wanted to use the vacuum for does not have deep pile carpets There are 800 seconds in this video. It is man-made There is a cave in the hills. The attachment worked so well that you could hear trash being sucked up into the vac as it was sucked. It can be used with or without the HEPA filter bag, but I really like to use it because I have When I was done with the floor I wiped it down again with the main house vac. We just want to check if the GV did anything wrong. This was not the case. An engine with plenty of power Depending on who you are, it can be set up for a right-handed or a left-handed person (I'm ambidextrous, so I like this feature) Having the blower attachment was a bonus I wasn't expecting and allows me to easily keep my deck and driveway clean. Having to add a 10 foot extension cord to the existing cord is the ONLY reason it didn't receive a 5 star rating. Having said that, that really isn't a big I am going back to give it a 5, because it is an absolute breaker. In any case, it's not for commercial applications, but for using it with a simple interface Easy to use, won't bounce off your furniture, don't have to carry it around like a residential appliance. It's the best appliance out there.
