Although, being a canister, if you have a lot of deep pile carpets, then a backpack vac is not the best tool when it comes to deep cleaning them either. But for cleaning upper areas such as stairs, ceilings or bare floors such as hardwood, wood, tiles, etc (or even on low-pile carpets/rugs) with excellent results, a backpack vac can come in real handy nonetheless.
Let's have a look at the main hardware details first...
*. Comes with a 8Amp motor (1000 Watts) with a noise insulator.
*. Uses vacuum bags (reusable cloth-bag).
*. 38" long metal wand (in two pieces).
*. HEPA filtration with allergen blocking, etc.
*. Cleaning nozzle width of 12 inches.
*. External foam motor filter.
*. For tools you'll get - a crevice tool, 14 inch separate carpet and floor brushes (2), upholstery tool, 1.5 inch diameter hose and a 60" hose attachment.
*. The power cord is one of the longest, which is about 15.3 meters (roughly).
*. Weights about 4.1 kg!, so even though you'll have to "carry" it around still that weight makes doing things much easier.
*. 2 Year warranty period.
User Feedback Section
As said before, it lacks the characteristics of a deep pile carpet cleaner (no beater brushes..., etc) so if you have a lot of deep-pile carpets then you might want to look for something else. But on bare floors such as tiles, wood, hardwood, ceramics + on low pile carpets it does perform really really well!. The suction is really powerful and removes a lot of dust thus giving great looking floors afterward!.
If you use the wrong vac on subtle floors such as on hardwood for instance, you have to be really careful, otherwise they can easily damage it. But the Hoover backpack can be used to clean hardwood floors and it won't make any scratches whatsoever. So not only it is powerful tool but it also is a very gentle performer as well. It has a very long wire cord and a wand which enables cleaning from floor up to the ceiling with ease.

For an any vac, a longer wire cord is always handy. But when you receive something that has 15 meters + lengths... you can clean even the most longest staircases without having to be afraid of the power source. As said, it uses washable cloth-bags thus preserving the cost of buying bag after bag. But then again, if you are allergic to dust, etc... then a sealed once-usable bag is the best option (you can easily switch to a non-cloth bag if you like!).
Cleaning a lot of tight places such as under tables, furniture or beds, etc is pretty easy thanks to the different nozzles and their widths, but as a bit of a "negative" factor, it gets a bit hot sometimes which you can feel thorough the back. Again, this is not a big deal and certainly not a concerned health issue by any means.
So, if you want a durable, light-weight, powerful vac that can be used to clean a lot of different types of floors and willing to pay the bit higher price, then I highly recommend the Hoover Commercial Shoulder Backpack C2401-010. An excellent product!.
