I was interested in them for a few months. From what I could find it looks like Proteam makes the best machines mostly because they have fantastic attachments and their parts are cheap and easy to find.
One of the biggest issues is that very few of them offer an electric powerhead. ProLux, which I think is a brand owned by the online vacuum store GreatVacs, does offer one with a powerhead. What's interesting is the main power unit looks like it's the same body as the Hoover WindTunnel Air | ||

I've got two
Right now I have two, I had a 3rd but decided to part with it.
I got lucky and found this proteam backpack with an electric hose and power nozzle for about 220, it needed a good clean out as the hepa filters were black and the cloth bag was pretty clogged. The numatic came from ebay as well. It suffered from design flaws the original cloth bag was made of this really restrictive material and would seal over the motor area. The lid is cracked and i had to install some foam strips to prevent leakage. I also had to import some carbon brushes from the UK. I did make a video on the numatic backpack if anyone wants to see it (link below) Now the one I parted with is this Sanitaire SC530 while it's suction was strong it's airflow was only so so and it had a strange smell kind of like diesel. which I couldn't seem to remove. It didn't come with anything so i did try it with my proteam's 1.5" hose before i got this rainbow hose to put on it for resale. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Blackheart's LINK | ||

I really like the backpack models that are made by Sandia. I think these are (In my opinion) the best corded backpack vacuums that you can find on the market today. The designs are just ingenious, they're assembled in the US, and you can choose of whatever colors and/or brands that you would like to have on when you order it directly from Ultimate Solutions. I'm not really a fan of backpack vacuums but if there's one or maybe two that I would like to have in my collection, it would be the Raven.

Mike
Only the 10 quart backpacks from Sandia you most likely won't have other hoses connected to but it is not impossible. You can however with their 6 quart models but those other hoses would need fit in the same diameter hole. Actually if you look at Sandia's website, they now offer both the 6 quart AND the 10 quart models with a powerhead included.
www.sandiaplastics.com/backpacks.... The whole idea with the 10 quart the way that it is designed is that the hose prevents from popping out of the lid, I've actually had hoses that popped out of the lid before with other backpacks that I've used which is one of the reasons of why I don't like backpack vacuums other than the Ravens. Also, the hose comes out at an angle so it prevents the hose from hitting you on the head and it gives you easy of use on the shoulder. I've also had that happen before as well. And the bag lid has a deflector plate which prevents of sharp things from piercing inside the bag. I think this is important to have on a bagged vacuum. Anyways, those are one of the reasons of why I think these are the best corded backpack vacuums on the market if not the overall best backpacks ever made. | ||
