New Tennant V-BP-6 Backpack Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The V-BP-6 is a straightforward corded backpack vacuum for crews that clean offices, schools, churches and hotels room by room. Wearing the vacuum frees up both hands for the wand, so it moves quickly around desks and chairs, up stairs and along baseboards, and the wand reaches high spots like vents and ledges. The Deuter harness is the real selling point: it adjusts to the operator's height and spreads the weight across padded shoulder straps and a hip belt.
With a 50-foot cord there is no battery to charge or replace, which makes it the lower-upkeep choice next to the cordless V-BP-6B. Pick the tool kit by the job: the Base kit covers everyday vacuuming, the Standard kit's telescopic wand adjusts for operators of different heights, and the Premium Sidewinder kit is built for covering big carpeted areas faster.”
Tennant V-BP-6: a corded commercial backpack vacuum
The Tennant V-BP-6 is a 120 V corded commercial backpack vacuum with a 1,200 W, 1.6 hp vacuum motor, 119 in of sealed water lift and 111 CFM of airflow. It weighs 13 lb (5.9 kg) without the cord, carries a 6 qt (5.7 L) bag and has standard HEPA filtration (99.97% at 0.3 micron). A Deuter® hiking-style harness spreads the load and adjusts to the operator, and a 50 ft (15 m) safety-yellow cord gives a wide reach from each outlet. Tennant shows it vacuuming offices, conference rooms and stairs, and reaching high spots such as ceiling vents with the wand.
