Strong suction power & affordability

Thrift is fitted with entry level accessories making it a great, affordable option.
Thrift provides strong suction power driven by the 1300W motor high productivity when deep cleaning in medium scale commercial environments.
The pre-motor cartridge filter and sealed disposable SMS dust bag offers the 4th level of filtration, improving air quality after use.
We want you to be comfortable when you wear your backpack vacuum, so we partnered with leading ergonomists to design a lightweight body moulded frame and an extra comfy harness with thick padding in all the right places.
With an 18m cord, the Thrift offers a total cleaning surface area of 1159m2.
*Thrift comes with two disposable sealed SMS dust bags in the box.

“Got my vacuum, having the super long cord is very handy. Suction is great @!$ the light weight plastic poles with the attachments holder make switching to the apolstery attachment ECT super quick. I find the all purpose tool not so great, dirt flicks out from the squeegee edges on carpet ad hard floor, so recommend and hard floor and carpet head attachment unfortunately. It's not too heavy but I find the backpack not a great fit as the waistband cannot get a tight fit and it won't sit low enough on my hips to hold the weight as I'm taller and slim. Could use some more adjustable features here. Over all though I'm happy with it”

Hi there Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and review! The Thrift comes with a range of great value accessories and economical price point, we take quality very seriously and pride ourselves on exceptional customer service. We appreciate your comments on the all-purpose floor tool and will take your suggestion into account for future improvements. Regarding the backpack fit, we understand that adjustable features are important for comfort, especially for different body types. We have since made upgrades on our Superpro range vacuums harness, you can upgrade to this with the eco harness service kit SEK018: https://pacvac.com/au/ecoharness-and-frame-service-kit. This harness includes a height adjustability system, with three height settings to choose from, so that you can change the position of where the vacuum sits on your back to make it more comfortable and give it a personal fit. We’re happy to hear you're overall satisfied and appreciate you taking the time to provide such insightful input. If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Kristyn

“Compared to my previous (different brand) backpack vacuum. Pros: It is lighter, has good suction and has a larger waist band, delivery and service was very speedy. Cons: the hand part is longer (might need a shorter stick part) and it’s not as ridged. Overall good for the price”

“It makes cleaning enjoyable! I am super happy with this purchase for my new cleaning business. The suction is very powerful , things feel deep cleaned from floors, Sofa and mattress. Its super light and comfortable moving around a house with it on your back. I bought added attachments from a distributor close to me and love all the added additions too. I can not fault this vacuum at all .”

“I have used Thrift pacvac for over 20 years do I have bought 3...one for my daughter one for my son and one for myself. The original one has much better suction than the later two and the tools are a bit flimsy than the original tools.”

“Good handy vacuum. The poles and head of the vacuum and light weight but small. I would order a bigger head on it next time. I also wish the cord would retract back into itself as its annoying winding it up all the time.”

Hi Anna Thank you for your positive review and great feedback. We really appreciate the time you've taken to let us know your thoughts. While we would love to offer a retractable cord feature for added convenience, the challenges lie in the extended 18-meter cord length and the intricate mechanisms required. Regrettably, incorporating these features may compromise the robustness necessary for commercial use. Additionally, we have a range of different wands and floor tools available to cater to various requirements. Feel free to reach out to us at support@pacvac.com, and we'll be happy to offer further guidance on this matter. Thank you, Kristyn
