Atrix Ergo Backpack Canister Vacuum, Portable Cleaner with Attachments for Professional and Residential Use, VACBP1 Standard Bundle

My new backpack vacuum just arrived and I've just cleaned house with it and it is absolutely fantastic! I just moved across the country and needed a new vacuum and was torn as to whether to get an upright or a canister. I lean toward canisters because it's easier to get under stuff and I don't ever have wall to wall carpeting. But I do have oriental rugs and canisters usually either have very poor carpet attachments, no carpet attachments, or ones that are so clunky and difficult to use with elaborate wiring systems going up the wand etc. that they end up breaking down early on.So I was surfing through all the Amazon vacuums trying to decide what to do, when I came across backpack ones. There were several brands, some very high end and many were really heavy (I'm not a big person and I'm getting pretty old too. heh). I ended up picking this one because it was the lowest weight one in the mid-range price. Along with it, I ordered a long extension cord and extra bags. (I noticed all backpack vacuums come with a short cord, which makes sense because everyone has different cord length needs depending on their needs. This way the extension cord can be anchored right on the vaccum)Anyway, long story short, I got the straps adjusted, read the manual, put it on and gave it a test run, and it was simply amazing! With it on my back, there are no worries about dragging a canister around furniture or the hose getting pulled out from hanging up on something. You have to sort of keep an eye on where you are dragging the cord so as not to get all tangled, but it was no problem. And the vacuum really SUCKS! A LOT! In anything else, that is a bad point, but in a vacuum, it's the most important feature, right? Here are the things I like best about this vacuum:1) Good suction. Seems to have a lot of power.2) weight is nice and low. It was very comfortable on my back and I'm an old lady, so I think anyone would not find this difficult weightwise.3) Construction. It seems really durable. The wand is solid metal and the hose and hose handle are very nicely designed and seem more substantial than other vacuums. The case is plastic but thick enough to be very durable. It just seems very well built for the price. The backpack frame is light but durable and well shaped for comfort.4) Toolbelt. One of the things I have always hated about most canisters is the tool attachment holders are always awful and you go to get your crevis tool to get beside the fridge and find it fell off somewhere back in one of the bedrooms. Well, that problem is OVER with this thing. Part of the backpack strapping stuff is a very nicely padded wide waist belt, and on the front of it are loops to hold your attachments. When you need one, it's right there in front of you!5) Rug/carpet attachment. I am extremely impressed with this. It is not electrified but it DOES have beaters that are run by the suction power. Very clever! It does a beautiful job on my large and small area oriental rugs and I think it would work on carpeting as well as any upright!6) loop to keep your extension cord from unplugging. A nice feature!All in all, I could find nothing wrong with this machine. The bags and filters seem easy to change/clean and the dirt-bag is as big as in many canisters. (I don't imagine you'd want too big a bag as that would be added weight). There is an added "shake out" bag that is washable, and a very nice Washable HEPA filter underneath it directly protecting the motor. There is also a washable intake filter on the outside which also protects the motor.

I got tired of always dragging my Fein 8 gallon vacuum around when doing final clean up after a renovation at a customer's house. I needed a vacuum that I didn't have to constantly drag around with me or get stuck around corners when pulling it or worse yet, have the wheels scratch the floor. I decided with this Atrix model and I'm glad I did. It is much cheaper than the other brands I looked at, but so far I have used it on 3 remodels for picking up the fine dust and it is perfect. The two floor brushes operate with ease and the dust brush handles all of the small areas really well. I didnt need the other attachments they sent, but they seemed well made. Even when the dust bags are full there is still good suction coming from the machine. That surprised me. Also, the sound really isn't bad at all since it is so close to your ears. I always wear hearing protection with my tools and I thought with the motor being so close to my head I would have to, but I haven't yet. The bags aren't that expensive to buy and they handle drywall dust as well. My only problem is that the straps keep coming loose. I solved this by sewing them permanently since I'm the only person using this vacuum. If you are in the trades and need a quality vacuum that can pick up fine dust and is easy to maneuver around a customer's house then I highly recommend this powerful and easy to use unit.

I’ve had this backpack vacuum for about a year now and it’s been a solid investment. It’s lightweight and super easy to carry around, which makes cleaning large areas or stairs way less of a hassle. The suction is still powerful after a year of use, and everything feels durable—no frayed wires, nothing broken (except one thing, which I’ll get to).I really like the retractable hose—it gives good reach and stores neatly. The only issue I had was with the rolling head attachment, which broke within the first couple of months. That was a bit of a letdown, but the vacuum itself still works great without it.Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, lightweight backpack vacuum with strong suction, this one’s a great choice. Just be aware the attachments might not be as tough as the vacuum itself.

I literally had to write about something for hw, and I spoke about this. I will just copy-paste it.I am a very short girl. And there are times I wish I was shorter. I really like being short! However, there are things that make me wish I was taller. One of those things is our carpet vacuum cleaner. It belongs to my sister, and we all share this one vacuum cleaner. We all also seem to want to use it at the same time... Everyone in the house is growing taller than me, so I get tease for my height. It seems the vacuum cleaner likes poking fun too because I have to hold it at a very uncomfortable angle.I decided to find something that would work for me, but that was also powerful. I didn't want a flimsy vacuum. I found the perfect vacuum. I can wear it on my back, and it isn't heavy at all. And it's at a comfortable angle. I also can turn it off with my other hand without bending down. I feel like Luigi with it on. It's a great vacuum! What's great about it is that, if my bf uses it, it will be a comfortable length, and it extends. It also comes with a bag. So I don't have to worry about dust and other things flying around when cleaning it out. And nobody else in the house wants to use it because it's different. So it all works out for me.-----------------Pros:- You get to feel like Luigi.- You got a great vacuum cleaner- It sucks and blows (wink wonk)- It extends- you control how hard you want it to suck- clean up isn't a bitch. It's really easy.- Chores become fun- You can't trip on the cord. You just can't. Unless you are a baby.Cons:- WHAT IS THIS LITTLE BABY CORD?! LOL!- You NEED an extension cord. The one with the 2 bars and the circle at the bottom. ('.') <-- Like that I guess. But it's a circle at the bottom. (I went to look for one, and I saw there were different kinds.)

The Atrix HEPA Backpack Vacuum has completely changed the way I clean—especially in tight or high-traffic areas. As someone who regularly tackles stairs, office spaces, and commercial jobs, this backpack-style vacuum is a game changer.First off, it’s lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The padded shoulder and waist straps help distribute the weight, so it doesn’t strain your back, even after extended use. It takes a couple of uses to adjust to having a vacuum on your back, but once you do, it’s far more efficient than dragging around a bulky upright or canister.Suction power is impressive for its size—plenty strong for dust, dirt, pet hair, and even fine debris like drywall dust. The included attachments are super versatile, letting me clean blinds, vents, baseboards, and even car interiors. And because it uses HEPA filtration, it traps allergens and fine dust, making it great for homes with pets or allergy sufferers.It’s also quieter than expected—a huge plus when working in shared spaces or during business hours.

I do NOT recommend! I did not use this vacuum upon first arrival so some time had passed. My first experience using the vacuum I thought maybe I missed an instruction and connected something wrong because the suction wasn’t strong with the attachments connected. However, after rereading the instructions and using the vacuum several more times on commercial and residential spaces, the suction is weak with the flat vacuum attachment. It works like a charm if you need it just for the hose. Most disappointing purchase for the money.

I've been wanting a backpack vacuum for awhile and finally made the purchase after getting 2 cats, and I am very glad that I did. This vacuum has powerful suction and lots of accessories that work very well, and having the backpack makes vacuuming around furniture and the gauntlet of cat toys easy. The quality feels very durable to me, and I like that the telescoping wand is metal (not plastic) and very sturdy. I use the self-powered "turbo brush" floor tool to clean 1000 sq ft of hard floors (wood, pergo, and vinyl), 400 sq ft of berber carpeting, and two low-pile area rugs, and this vacuum does a fantastic job picking up everything including lots of cat hair and litter. And the vacuum does pick up in both directions, I usually do push and pull over same area due to all the cat hair/litter, but I can see the vacuum picking up in both directions. The width of the "turbo brush" floor tool is perfect for getting between and under furniture, and I no longer have to move any furniture when vacuuming - it's just small enough to fit everywhere and the "neck" that attaches to the wand turns 360 degrees so I can twist it sideways and get it under cabinets. An unexpected bonus for me is that this vacuum does a GREAT job dusting my wood furniture when I use the small rectangular attachment (not the dusting brush tool) - it gets up all the cat hair (in addition to the dust) very quickly. I also love that it has a stable base and a carry-handle on top so if I need to do a quick pick-up in one spot, I just carry it over rather that put on my back and it stays in place. I was a little nervous about the weight, but I have not had any problems wearing it for the 45 mins I usually spend cleaning (I am a 5'4" woman and reasonably fit). It does blow warm/hot air out the side, but I consider this a non-issue because it's no hotter than my previous upright vacuum and far easier and quicker to use. To me, the only negative to this vacuum cleaner is that it makes vacuuming and dusting so easy that I have no excuse not to do them.

It is essentially a lightweight HEPA shop vac on a backpack, with great accessories. Comfortable to wear, with convenient belt that stores attachment heads.no The suction is amazing.The head unit for carpets has a circulating brush but has no self motor, rather it uses the suction created by the vacuum to spin. I thought this would fail under large particles, but it surprisingly worked well. Whenever a large particle stiffed the brushes, there was an instant pressure release that opened from the head, and allowed me to remove the obstruction, and then it continued flawlessly. This design will avoid the burn out of the spin motor I had on other vacuums, and not have to replace the belt.The unit has a bag to store debris it vacuumed and it is smaller than excepted, but the replacement bags are not so expensive, they come to about $2.35 a bag.This is great for my home, where I have so many toys and clutter to move aside while vacuuming which I can essentially do with my hands free I just let go of the hand unit, it hangs from my backpack while I move aside things, and then continue to vacuum.BEST OF ALL: Did I forget to mention the price, and fast Amazon delivery?? Yes both great, go Amazon!

Es fácil de usar. No estorba, no la tengo que cargar con la mano ya que es de mochila, funciona perfectamente bien y aspira con potencia y adecuadamente. Trae muchos aditamentos para lugares difíciles de alcanzar. Desde que la compré, ya no tengo pelos de mi perrita por todo mi hogar. Es más rápido quitar el polvo, ahora ya casi no uso mi escoba. ES LA TERCERA QUE COMPRO, UNA PARA MI CASA DE LA PLAYA Y LA OTRA COMO EL PERFECTO REGALO DE BODAS DE MI MEJOR AMIGO QUE SE CASARÁ EN 3 SEMANAS!

It was NOT noted in the listing that it would come with US power plug & needed a power converter & US extension to be able to plug it in. Due to preplanned travelling it took me a few weeks to source & get delivery of the additional items. I plug it all in after following all manuals... it does NT work! Seller would not discuss, just stated too late for return... no help, no refund, no info for local repair service person... no help! Do not buy.

This vacuum is awesome! I run a sole proprietor residential cleaning business and this was to replace my old faithful Dyson canisters that were so heavy that it was causing physical problems. I love not having to lug anything up and downstairs anymore and with a high quality flexible 50' extension, I can do most large homes with only one outlet change. The suction is surprisingly great, even with a full bag. I love not having to change heads from low pile carpet to floors, I just have to step on the switcher. The carpet head isn't as good as an electrical powered head but still does the job. I wasn't sure when I purchased it if it was going to be able to handle the load of 16 clients but it turned out to be the best decision for my physical wellbeing and for doing a good job.

es de muy buen calidad,, practica y funciona muy bien, gran compra!!!!

I’ve been using this Backpack Vacuum for a year in my deep, heavy-duty cleaning &restoration business, and it’s transformed my work! It’s cheaper than other backpack vacs and saved my back and shoulders from chronic pain—no more lifting or lugging around. It’s design with an option to place all small attachments on the belt cuts time wasted on extra moves like swapping nozzles or climbing ladders. Bonus: it doubles as a blower with air-blowing attachments for tight spots.Downside: The cord is short, but I pair it with a 50ft indoor/outdoor extension from Home Depot to cover whole floor without switching outlets. Only catch is you need extra bags (comes with 2, $50 for 10 more, ~$5 each), but the bag size handles massive dusty projects, and tossing it out beats cleaning the system. Washable filters are a plus. If you’re in tough cleaning, this is a must-have—best investment ever!
