Backpack vacuum cleaners are similar to canister vacuums but are designed to rest on a user’s back. Outfitted with waist and shoulder straps to hold the vacuum in place, the backpack vacuum enables the user to move about easily. At the bottom of the backpack vacuum is the heaviest component, the motor, which by its gravitational design, ensures that the user will have a good sense of balance. Since the backpack vacuum is closely fitted to the body, it has built-in components that dampen its sound, as well as cooling mechanisms to protect and provide safety to the user. Most backpack vacuum cleaners ergonomically curve to the user’s back in order to evenly distribute its weight on the user’s hips as well as hang comfortably from the user’s shoulders.
