Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Hoover C2401 Commercial Lightweight Backpack Vacuum Cleaner by Mark Cannon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great vacuum cleaner but know what you get!

First of all, this is a commercial vacuum cleaner designed for intensive cleaning in large spaces without many obstacles in the way, rather than the average household. However, it's a big vacuum if you keep that in mind. I've decided to buy it for use around my home, which again isn't entirely fair to criticize, but if you're looking to do the same this information should help you. Pros: Excellent suction power. Ideal for cleaning smooth floors. and low-pile carpet. Extra long reach to clear dust balls and cobwebs out of those high corners. Less good: Don't even consider if it's a pile rug, just don't. It's worth it for the easy cleaning. Some people claim that you can only use paper bags, but the device is clearly designed to have a paper bag on top of a mesh bag, the main reason being to maintain suction. The attachments are actually pretty decent, but the usability for the typical household is pretty terrible. The main thing is that the aluminum tube comes in 2 sections, but for almost nothing except for easy transportation. You can't use half a tube of nozzles, period. You can attach them in full length to the connected hoses (cumbersome) or directly to the unfortunately short flexible black hose, there is no middle ground. So to get into those really tight corners to pick up big lumps of dust, all you have to do is disassemble the device and do your best. So again, this isn't a "home vacuum" but if you plan to use it like I do, you know what you're getting.

Pros
  • A harness designed by a chiropractor reduces user stress
Cons
  • Not sure
