Atrix HEPA Backpack Vacuum

I am SO happy with this vacuum! It’s well made, the vent being on the back is great, easy to reach power switch, having a blower will help so much with door tracks and no idea why people mention attachment quality. They’re no better or worse than any other vacuum and work great. And the washable cloth filer bags are a HUGE plus. Mine came with 9!Attached pics of the bottoms of the flat floor and carpet attachments because you can’t see them well in the ad. Love the flat floor raises with brushes or lowers without and can’t tell that the carpet has a brush roller… but it does. It’s comfortable to wear, doesn’t feel heavy and the waist support is nice and wide. Very impressed. Will be buying a second for my cleaning business.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. Although it does not work well in tight closed spaces, because you bump into everything. Other than that it works very well I'm surprisingly pleased with it and would recommend it.

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.

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 am extremely happy with this purchase, these units come well appointed and I was pleasantly surprised. They seem to work quite well and have good suction and Power. And with all of the attachments, I can pretty much tackle most jobs with it. The HEPA filter works perfectly And that is always a good thing! I would recommend this little unit to anyone interested in buying a good backpack Hepa-vac that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! Lol.

Pros- It’s super convenient having the backpack and it does a good enough job on solid floors. Cons- literally everything else. The attachment arm constantly falls off when using it. It is the most frustrating thing ever and makes me want to smash it! I have to hold the stick part of it because it is absolutely pointless to hold the handle, it will fall off every 10 seconds… literally every f****** 10’seconds. The brush attachment moves around in circles so much you have to go over the area (desk, dresser, chair etc) multiple times to get the spots it missed because it just flips around in circles. The carpet attachment doesn't do anything really. I tried for about 2 minutes, different angles and pressure to suck it up just a little piece of leaf and it did nothing. I’m not even sure how this is justified as a carpet attachment, it’s Pretty much useless. The attachments in the holster fall out every time i bend over, of even just move, so I don’t even bother putting them in anymore. The floor attachment…. Careful, this will 100% scratch your floors depending on what flooring you have. Overall this was a huge disappointment, I hate this thing and I wish I would’ve returned after the first use but I thought I’d just get used to it. If you’ve read this far and still considering buying one I’ll sell you mine for $100, you pay shipping. If this is what professionals are using to clean rugs and carpets I’d be pretty upset as a client.
