Demo Tennant V-BP-6 Corded Backpack Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“A backpack vacuum earns its keep in places an upright struggles: stairs, offices full of chairs and desks, classrooms, theater rows, ceiling vents and the edges of every room. The V-BP-6 is Tennant's corded 6 qt model, and at 13 lb it is light enough to wear for a full route. What sets it apart is the harness. Tennant uses a Deuter hiking harness with height adjustment, stabilizer straps, breathable mesh and shaped shoulder straps and hip belt, which Tennant designed to decrease muscle fatigue. The on/off switch sits on the hip belt, and the harness has cord strain relief to help protect the cord. Filtration is 4-stage HEPA, rated 99.97% at 0.3 micron, and at as low as 67 dBA it is quiet enough for daytime cleaning. It is CRI Gold certified. As a demo, it is a lightly used way into a professional backpack vac, so ask us about its condition and which tool kit is with it.”
