Small and mighty
The Pacvac Velo Backpack Vacuum Cleaner is a lightweight and compact professional cleaning solution designed for both professional cleaners and users seeking professional-quality results at home. Built for efficiency and comfort, the Velo delivers powerful cleaning performance while remaining easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces and large environments.
Weighing just 3.9kg, the Pacvac Velo is one of the lightest backpack vacuums on the market. Despite its compact size, the unit features a powerful 900W motor that provides strong suction for efficient cleaning across a variety of surfaces. Its 18m power cord allows operators to cover a cleaning area of up to 1158m², reducing the need to frequently change power outlets and improving productivity during commercial cleaning tasks.
The Velo comes standard with Pacvac’s Ecoharness, designed with thicker padding for improved comfort during extended cleaning sessions. Made from at least 50% recycled rPET plastic, the Ecoharness is produced using recycled water bottles, supporting Pacvac’s commitment to sustainable product design.
For improved indoor air quality, the Velo features an H13 HEPA Hypercone™ filter system with four stages of filtration. This advanced filtration system captures 99.95% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns, helping maintain cleaner air in environments such as offices, schools, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
Additional features include a water-resistant on/off switch positioned at the base of the unit for durability and ease of use. The vacuum also comes equipped with the popular All Purpose Floor Tool (FLT001), suitable for a wide range of hard floors and low-pile carpets. For deeper carpet cleaning and effective pet hair removal, the Turbo Head Floor Tool (FLT007) can be paired with the Velo to agitate embedded dirt and debris on low to medium pile carpets.

“Applaude Pacvac for creating a backpack vacuum now suitable for the home. So many positives to list about this vacuum. Starting with: The (OMG!) Lightweight vacuum and wand The (OMG!) Thin vacuum head doesn’t get stuck under furniture. Ease of vacuum from carpet to hard floor and vice versa (not having to bend down or change vacuum suction head) Suction and debris pick up is as good as any other vacuum I have had. Long cord enabled me to vacuum the whole house without having to change power port/boards. Cord doesn’t get stuck under furniture/doors. Provision of power cord holder to tuck it all together. Ease of getting to/replacing the vacuum bag. Not having to bend over to vacuum. Not having to yank a vacuum around (no more shoulder and arm ache). Moveable hose to be able to change from left to right hand. I am in my 50's so have had my fair share of vacuums (including Dyson) and hands down this is the best vacuum I have had/used. I actually don't mind the chore anymore!!”

Hi Dina, Thank you for your feedback. The Velo is our lightest and most compact vacuum in our range, designed specifically for users who prioritise comfort and manoeuvrability. We understand that even a few hundred grams can make a difference depending on the user and environment and we’ll continue to take that into consideration as we develop future products. As for the carpet head, we offer the turbo head floor tool as an optional extra rather than including it as standard. This helps prevent unnecessary waste and cost for customers who don’t require it, especially those primarily cleaning hard floors. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and please reach out if you have any questions or need support. Erin
