Making the Switch to Backpack Vacuums

When choosing a set of vacuums for a company what’s the most important part? Is it the mobility, the productivity it provides, or maybe the price is the most important factor to you? What if all of these were available within the growing market of vacuums? Well there is and the answer is backpack vacuums, these vacuums have the potential to be 70 percent more efficient, with a wide range of mobility and the overall cost of repairs and the life value is estimated to be 90 percent less costly.

When comparing a traditional upright to a backpack vacuum the first thing you can look at is the mobility and productivity that you gain. This can be seen the best within larger facilities especially with multiple stories. The reasoning is you don’t have to stop when you finish on the first floor to go up you can just continue cleaning as you travel up the stairwell. Taking a school for example, you can start in a classroom, were you can get beneath all of the decks without needing to move any of the furniture, and then move directly to the next room or into the stairwell and onto the next floor.

This shows a big problem with traditional uprights, which is they are to big to fit under a desk or chair, so your required to move the furniture around the room taking up more time. Uprights have a very difficult time in stairwells as well due to their weight and mobility is not optimal unlike the backpack vacuums that are out of the way while you clean and all you have to worry about is the pump allowing you to travel up and down stairs with ease.

Backpack vacuums can save your company a lot of money with their expected 8 year life time compared to traditional vacuums that have a 3-4 year life time. According to Michael Jones from The Columbia Public School District will reduce overall repair costs by 90 percent.

The challenge of implementing backpack vacuums over traditional uprights is that custodians are used to and are more comfortable with their traditional vacuums. The way that you can overcome this is by personalizing the idea to your employees allow them to test out the equipment and make sure that they are on board before making a mass change. In the end to have anything be effective you have to have your employees in agreeance with your decision for it to work.
