Review on Nilfisk Backpack HEPA Vacuum 120 by Amanda Thibault

I have had this vacuum for several years. It has excellent suction power and sucks better than most vacuum cleaners; It sucks pet hair off the carpet better than any other vacuum I've had and seems to work just as well as my household vacuum. However, the backpack is very cumbersome to use - it's quite heavy (and gets heavier with use) and uncomfortable. I've found it very difficult to turn around in small areas or near walls/furniture without hitting them and leaving marks/dents. Most of the time I'm afraid to use a backpack so I leave it on the floor while vacuuming instead of carrying it, but that's not an ideal situation either. The backpack needs to be redesigned to be more ergonomic - flatter or more oval and lighter in weight. It must also contain more than one application.
