I was excited to use this product, as I have never used a backpack vacuum before. It was a lot lighter than I expected it to be and the battery charged quickly and was long lasting. The battery charger is a bit noisy but does the job. Although the vacuum performed well in all areas of my residence, it seemed to do the best on hardwood floors and tiles. I am excited to use this in other areas where I don't have outlets, such as my car and shed. The vacuum appeared to be made extremely well with good quality workmanship and materials.

The machine works. I thought it would not work because it looks so cheaply made. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It is probably one of the best vacuums to use. You do need to get an extra battery though. I get about 45 min or so on eco mode maybe a little more. I have two I use at an airport. You can also turn the hose either to the right or left side which is nice. The tool at the bottom can be adjusted for carpets or floors so suction will not be difficult.

I just received this a few days ago. I must say we love it. The backpack vacuums are light weight, and the best part is that it is battery powered. It does not take long to charge. So far, we have used it on our walls and ceiling (hard to reach areas), and it worked great!I have zero complains about this and very happy with it.The only downside was the shipping. Shipping was very slow, but it was coming from Air France. so, it is expected. If you are thinking about purchasing this, you should! You will not be disappointed.
The BVL 5/1 Bp Pack vacuum is light weight and easy to maneuver. It is not loud. The vacuum has two suction settings. I used it to dust those hard to reach places and it worked like a charm! The setting on the floor attachment lets you engage the brushes in a simple click. The vacuum picked up dog hair with no issues and dusted our ceiling fans with ease.
I am thoroughly impressed with this vacuum. I never thought I would own a backpack vacuum. But, now I do and I absolutely love it.My favorite aspect is the fact this is lightweight and cordless. I can walk anywhere with it and not have to worry about a cord getting in my way. It is a lot easier to clean a multi-level house without dragging a cord around.This is a professional-looking vacuum. This to me would be something you would find at work or on an airplane. But, I am not complaining about having it at home. It beyond meets all my needs.You can carry this on your back and move around quickly. I have back problems, I was afraid it would hurt my back. But, I can say it is amazingly comfortable.

But, I can say it is amazingly comfortable. The suction of the vacuum is exceptional. It cleans various areas of my home with no hesitation. The charging capacity is top notch too. It holds a quality charge. It does take time to charge it up when you first get it. But, after that it doesn't take long to charge in my opinion.Overall, I would recommend this vacuum to anybody needing a quality top of the line vacuum cleaner. You will not be disappointed by this vacuum cleaner. This would make a great gift or just an item to have in your home.
The Karcher battery-powered backpack vacuum BVL 5/1 Bp is lightweight but packs quit the punch! The backpack is slightly under 10 lbs. thanks to an innovative EPP (expanded polypropylene) material.

The shoulder straps and waist belt provide optimum support to your back so you can vacuum comfortably. There are two modes, eco mode which is ideal for everyday use and heavy mode for a more serious, deep clean. This a great product for any small business owner looking to provide the best possible cleaning equipment to your employees.
Kärcher has revolutionized the vacuum industry with this battery operated backpack vacuum!!! Gone are the days of searching for an outlet, hoping you have enough cord or stopping to plug in the cord somewhere closer! Not only that, but this incredible vacuum has all the features you could possibly need or want in your vacuum. Even with all these features, Kärcher somehow was able to keep it lightweight (weighing under 10 pounds), so users of all sizes can easily handle it. It only comes with one battery, but that’s no problem since it’s rechargeable and charges quickly. This vacuum is also compact, so it won’t take up as much space as some stand-up vacuums. I worried that this innovative item would be difficult to use, but it’s a breeze, and even if you do have ...

The K'A'Rcher backpack vacuum is a fairly lightweight and portable vacuum for light cleanup to vacuum up dirt and debris. The straps are adjustable and fit comfortably when positioned right. The entire unit, battery and all, weighs about 12 lbs, whereas the battery is about 4.6 lbs. The tube extends and retracts easily to fit different heights and reaches. It had an effortless one-hand operation. Battery operation is easy and straightforward, and knowing the battery level is quick with a percentage reading rather than just a meter or indicator dots. When charging, the battery also makes a noise as if a fan is running, which I am not sure it is supposed to do. The extra attachments fit into the straps around the waist and are held with elastic. I wish it had the ... MoreThe K'A'Rcher backpack vacuum is a fairly lightweight and portable vacuum for light cleanup to vacuum up dirt and debris.

I wish it had the option to have a brush for the carpet, not just for the bare floor, as some areas we have to clean are carpeted and challenging to reach.
I love the idea of a backpack vacuum cleaner, but the battery pack makes it extremely difficult to carry around. The battery charges fast and last a long time. It brings different attachments to clean small spaces or corners. You can use it on carpets or are floors, but I find her difficult to use on carpets. On bare floors is easy to.use.
