Backpack Vacuums - The Wave of the Future?

Have you ever lugged a suitcase around an airport for 20 minutes? Even worse, hauled that thing up a flight of stairs? That is a good example of what it's like pushing an upright vacuum around. Backpains and pulled muscles are not part of the job description—but they seem to be the result with most upright vacuum cleaners.

It’s so much easier to vacuum the floor with a backpack vacuum, especially if your doing a lot of vacuuming. You don’t have to drag around a cord and you can get carpet and other places in one sweep. Save about a good half-hour of cleanup. BackPack vacuums such as the Perfect Backpack Vacuum, the ProTeam Back Pack and this Commercial BackPack Vacuum use a mountaineering-style back plate and harness that positions the weight of the vacuum on the strongest part of the human body—the waist. The corresponding side-to-side motion of the wands minimizes the stress placed on the torso. Easy-to-reach accessory tools eliminate bending over and make detail work and reaching tall areas a breeze.

All this, plus we have read studies about the increase in productivity with backpack vacuums - it can be up to 70% with out adding staff.

Some backpack vacuum cleaner models we suggest:

Review Of The IQAir Health Pro by Diana Forbes, a.k.a. Gadget Grrl™

Purifying the air is a simple concept. The air purifier either does what it is supposed to do (cleans the air you breath) or it just doesn't. Simple. We have reviewed the IQAir it is has exceeded any other air purifier on the market, to date. Click the link here to see our independent video review again for the IQAir Health Pro Air Purifier. What we also recently discovered is that we are not alone on our review. Gadget Grrl, whose column runs on the HouseKeeping Channel also reviewed the IQAir. Her write-up is below.

Review Of The IQAir Health Pro by Diana Forbes, a.k.a. Gadget Grrl™
Product Review by Diana Forbes, a.k.a. Gadget Grrl™

There are air filters/cleaners and then there are mega machines such as the IQAir Health Pro.

The problem with air filters is that you have to filter through all the scientific jargon on the back of the box to find out if they do what they claim. Recently, I had to do just that to try and find the best filter for my office. What I discovered is that there are fans that blow air through a grill and call themselves filters, filters that “technically” do take some bad stuff out of the air, and filters that really work...In the last category is the IQAir Health Pro.

The unit arrived with enough technical info, and certifications, to satisfy a Nobel Prizewinning scientist, and some of the best independent data out there.

From a technical standpoint, the unit uses three modular filters that together exceed the efficiency of most filters for the home by more than 100 times. And to back up these claims each unit comes with a certificate of performance that details the test results for your machine. Not for a machine like yours but your very machine.

An interesting user story was about a woman who lived in an apartment above another woman who was a chain smoker. The woman upstairs bought the smoker downstairs an IQ unit to place in her apartment. Talk about going to the source of the problem. But the smoking woman kept forgetting to turn on the unit, so the woman upstairs got a remote control from the manufacturer and now lives in a smoke-free environment. Problem solved!

There is a digital read out that states the remaining life on the filter, thus taking out all the guesswork, and changing filters does not require tools. In short, this is one of the best products we have seen in the Gadget Grrl Labs in quite awhile. A real breath of fresh air!

Get Rid of Bedbugs

There's a bedbug epidemic. There have been increased citings of bedbug infestations across the country and the world. To date, the best and brightest professional exterminators have had an increasingly difficult time eradicating these nasty creatures. Bed bugs have developed a resistance to pesticides, which has become the biggest obstacle to the successful control of these and most other pests. Not only that, people are spending big bucks to get them removed with no luck.

It seems to me that we need to take the elimination of the bedbugs into our own hands. Forget paying thousands... why not only pay $19.95. Here you will have the power to kill Bed Bugs, Lice, Fleas, Ticks, Dust mites, Roaches, Ants, Silverfish, and other Insects. It's effective, convenient and ready-to-use with no dilution required. Kill Bed bugs on mattresses, sofas, upholstered chairs, non-upholstered chairs, furniture, bed springs, carpets, etc and will not stain. See my video to see this bed bug spray in action.
