Best Backpack Vacuum Cleaners: September 2009

If you are interesting in purchasing a backpack vacuum cleaner, here are some tips to help you select the best backpack vacuum available:

Try different backpack vacuum cleaners on for size. It is very hard to choose the right model for you if you have not actually tried the model on to see how it fits, if the weight is right for you, and if you feel comfortable moving about using it. Unfortunately, however, there is often a limited selection (if any) of backpack vacuums available to try on at most department and retail stores. You may, however, have luck with online retailers - just make sure they have an adequate return policy if you do not like the model you are trying out.
Decide what kind of options (if any) you really need in a backpack vacuum. Some choices you will have include high end filtration systems and attachments that will allow you to vacuum everything from ceiling fans to sawdust. Some models come with these attachments already, others will require you pay extra, so include these options with your initial pricing of competing models to get the best deal.
Compare, compare, compare. You will find some great models available from different online retails, often at dramatically different prices. Just by comparison shopping you could stand to save up to a hundred dollars on different models.
Read reviews carefully. You do not want to rely primarily on the customer reviews you find posted on the manufacturer's site. These reviews may be paid for, or even worse, made up. Instead, go to an online retailer like Amazon.com to read real reviews of different backpack vacuum cleaners.

By following these tips, you should be able to find the best in backpack vacuum cleaners!
