Review: 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.
Review: Perfect for sweeping hard surface floors and steps in a hurry! - I used to own a cleaning company and can't imagine being without this tool. If you have hard surface floors and a lot of steps (carpeted or not) this is a must have. The price is reasonable and it's very quality made. You'll want to purchase the disposable bags that go in it to keep the cloth bag and filter clean. This product was developed with bad backs in mind. It actually makes you stand up straighter and it makes my back feel better! You can barely tell its on and it's great having your hands free and allows you to move around freely. The cord is super long. I've cleaned large commercial spaces and have only had to move the cord plug in placement once. The cord is actually an orange extension cord so would be easy to replace. The handle is very long. I wish they made a shorter accessory for it for smaller spaces, but for the most part, it's perfect. It has a strong motor and is quality made. I've used these for several years now commercially and they're still running great with no maintenance. The drop in bags are expensive but you won't go through them as fast on a residential use. You can go without them, but the cloth bag will need to be replaced more often. Filters, paper disposable bags and the cloth bag replacements are easily purchased on line. My husband demands to clean the floors now because he likes using this tool so much. You can see what is going into the bag which intrigues him and he likes how easy it is to sweep under furniture and the steps without having to bend over. If you accidentally sweep up something important, you can retrieve it easily.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long is cord how many CFMs how many AMPs  Hover vac pac**
A: Mine came with a 50-foot, orange extension cord that is removable if you prefer a shorter cord. It is NOT attached to the vacuum innards. That cord is only about 8 to 12 inches long. The cord is held together with a rubber loop connector that prevents it from pulling apart. I do not know what kind of cubic foot per minute (CFM) the vacuum produces, but it's adequate for my wood floors. The Hoover motor is a 120-volt, 60 HZ, 8.5 amp motor. If my high school physics memory is correct, volts X amps equals watts, so it's a 1,020 watt motor. While vacuuming, I also use an FM radio/MP3 Player noise-canceling headset I got for Christmas last year. It came from Home Depot for $29. It works fine and protects my hearing. I use it when blowing leaves, power spraying, operating my table and miter saws, etc. Hope this helps.

**Q: it is good  for carpet too oh just hardwood floors? can some one answer my question thanks**
A: Actually in conjunction with the right vacuum head, they are great for carpets.  YOu want to search for a turbo or turbine vac headhttps://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=node%3D3743741&field-keywords=turb

**Q: Can this vacuum cleaner use other Hoover vac attachments (i.e. a carpet rotating/cleaning attachment)? :-)**
A: At work I use this vacuum with a sidewinder attachment. 
Cen-Tec Systems 68877 Telescopic Sidewinder Vacuum Wand
It's very useful especially for corners and edges

**Q: Can it pick up bits of sand without becoming damaged?**
A: I would imagine so.  This machine is a beast.  Very powerful and has picked up many other types of debris at my home - ranch / lots of dirt.  You'll be pleased with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seriously, an awesome vacuum!
*by D***S on April 10, 2016*

(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.
