- Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2024Verified PurchaseJust got this and tried it out on my office floors. We have mostly wood floors on 4 levels. Great suction and I really like the long arm. Backpack is very comfortable and not as heavy as expected. Nice long cord too.

Reviewed in Canada on September 21, 2023Verified PurchaseJe l'ai acheté pour l'utiliser à faire des ménages commerciales et je l'aime beaucoup. Il a une très forte puissance d'aspiration. Est confortable et son poids est acceptable.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 6, 2025Verified PurchaseLove this vacuum, I use it all the time. I accidentally sucked up a 9-volt battery the other day and because of its design it went through with no issues at all because there is no mechanical parts before the filter. I was able to take off the top and take it out.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2025Verified PurchaseFloor attachments don’t attach - the ring doesn’t clasp and they don’t fit any other way. Pretty much useless at this point as it’s past the point of returning it. I tried it out too late sadly.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2020Verified PurchaseMy husband and I both love this vacuum. We don't have carpets in our house but we have a dog that sheds ALOT and the suction power is nice and powerful. The power cord is reeeeeally long so we don't have to unplug it we can do all of our house (2 level house) at once, I love it. You don't have to drag the vacuum everywhere as you wear it like a backpack, it's not heavy at all and it's nice for the back, you can move freely everywhere, especially when vacuuming the stairs you don't have to hold the vacuum constantly, it's a game changer to be honest... 10/10
- Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2019Verified PurchaseGreat to use. Lots of suction. Might buy one for the house!
- Reviewed in Canada on May 29, 2022Verified PurchaseI just received it and it work, but the suction isn't great, my cheap shark provide much better suction, also the tool is much larger than my shark, so debry really need to touch the tool and often than not need to touch the center because the edge won't suck. One issue is it not made for tall people, I need to bend to help get the tool in the right angle so it work a little bit better. The metal extension tube is made for large surface cleaning. If you have small corner to clean, this tool make it hard to do anything with them. I wish the metal tube had some rubber on it to make it less prone to scratch something with in the close corner. I found my wrist tired after cleaning my house, which never happened with my previous vacuum. I didn't time it, but it felt like i went faster than my shark... BUT, I didn't clean as well because I couldn't get in those tight corner. I'm not sure if it worth it so far for my home cleaning... I wanted something that would be plug and go, and in true I was surprised that the cord got stuck only once and I clean my whole house from one outlet. I might try to do an adaptor for my shark accessories and see if it solve both my issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Game Changer for Professional Cleaning!
Verified PurchaseWe’ve been using the Hoover backpack vacuum for a few months now, and it’s an absolute game changer for our cleaning business! It’s lightweight, powerful, and surprisingly quiet—which is a huge plus when we're cleaning in homes with pets or kids. The suction is fantastic and easily tackles everything from fine dust to larger debris.
The backpack design is comfortable and makes it so much easier to move around tight spaces or stairs without dragging a canister. Our team loves how much faster and more efficient it makes their jobs.
Highly recommend for anyone serious about professional cleaning—this vacuum keeps up with our busiest days and never lets us down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and comfortable vacuum cleaner that can be doubled down as a shop vac
Verified PurchaseThis is the second one that I purchased after buying one about three or four years ago. The original one has been used extensively and has been mistreated, yet, it is still going. I purchased the new one as a backup. I use it in my shop for as a shop vacuum and it is really strong, you can really see the suction. I don't generally use the accessories, I know it is a pain to put it together but it can be done. Occasionally, I use it for cleaning floors and it is phenomenal and so easy/comfortable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good
Verified PurchaseOverall, I like using this vacuum. It has powerful suction. It performs well, however, I have a few issues. May these are just me, but it's difficult to "put on". It's getting easier the more I use it, but it's still quite cumbersome. Once strapped on, it stays in place. It's quite loud, so ear plugs are advised. I like the long electrical cord, which allows for a large area of cleaning. All of the additional tools are great. The biggest problem I have is in cleaning the filter. I have to wear a mask because of all the dust that scatters when emptying the canister. I can never get it completely clean, so I think having another vacuum cleaner handy would be good for cleaning out the canister. I wish there were disposable canister bags that could be used instead of emptying out the canister.
