Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam Battery Backpack Vacuum$ 97.94 Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam Battery Backpack Vacuum (93016B-1)The Tornado Pac-Vac 6 Roam (Catalog #93016B-1) is the cordless version of Tornado’s Pac-Vac Aircomfort backpack vacuum — combining the Deuter Aircomfort harness with a 36V lithium battery system that eliminates the power cord entirely. No outlets, no cord routing, no pigtail transitions, no trip hazard across hallways. The operator puts it on and cleans — through multi-floor buildings, across stairwells, through conference rooms, into elevator interiors, and into any space where a power cord would slow the cleaning program down. Up to 1 hour of runtime per charge. Battery hot-swaps without removing the unit — unsnap the depleted battery while wearing the backpack, snap in a charged replacement, and continue without stopping. Priced at $725.00. 4-year parts / 2-year labor / 1-year battery warranty.⚠ Battery sold separately. The Pac-Vac 6 Roam ships without the 36V lithium battery.

The operator reaches back to the battery housing, unsnaps the depleted battery, and snaps in a charged replacement — all while the unit is on their back. This is not a theoretical feature: it means that an operation with two batteries per operator has effectively unlimited runtime. Battery depletes after an hour, operator swaps in 30 seconds, continues cleaning. The depleted battery charges while the replacement runs. For hotel housekeeping departments or BSC operations running multi-hour shifts, the hot-swap design eliminates the runtime constraint entirely.Deuter Aircomfort Harness — Up to 25% Less PerspirationThe Deuter Aircomfort harness is the same ergonomic back panel system used across the Pac-Vac Aircomfort corded lineup. The tensioned mesh creates an air channel between the operator’s back and the vacuum unit — air escapes from three sides, reducing perspiration by up to 25% compared to conventional closed-back backpack designs. Five points of harness adjustment fit the Roam to different operator body sizes. In battery-powered operation where the machine weighs 25 lbs and shift duration is driven by how many batteries are available rather than outlet access, operator comfort over a sustained shift is more important than ever.Cord-Free Cleaning — The Operational CaseIn commercial cleaning operations, power cords impose constraints that are easy to undercount: outlet location limits where you can clean, cord length limits how far from an outlet you can reach, transitioning between outlets takes time, cords across occupied corridors create trip hazards, and cord management in rooms with furniture requires constant repositioning. The Roam eliminates all of this. The productivity figure — 10,582 sq ft/hr — is the direct numerical result: without cord constraints, operators move faster and more continuously, increasing coverage per hour by 42% compared to the corded Pac-Vac Aircomfort’s 7,400 sq ft/hr. The underlying motor produces less CFM and waterlift than the corded model, but the total area cleaned per shift is higher because the operator is never stopped by cord management.4-Stage HEPA Filtration — Same as the Corded AircomfortThe Roam uses the same 4-stage filtration system with HEPA cartridge as the corded Pac-Vac Aircomfort — paper bag primary capture, foam pre-motor filter, motor protection filter, and HEPA exhaust cartridge. The sealed filtration system ensures exhaust air returning to the room is HEPA-filtered, meeting IAQ requirements for healthcare, education, and LEED-certified facilities.<65 dB — The Quietest Model in the Pac-Vac LineupAt under 65 dB, the Roam is quieter than the corded Pac-Vac Aircomfort models (69.5 dB). The brushed DC motor platform in battery-powered configuration runs slightly quieter than the corded AC motor. Below 65 dB is suitable for cleaning in occupied facilities — hotel corridors with guests present, office buildings during business hours, healthcare environments during operating hours — without meaningful disruption.70 CFM / 65″ Waterlift — Understanding the Trade-OffThe Roam’s motor produces 70 CFM and 65″ waterlift — lower than the corded Aircomfort’s 110 CFM / 110″. This is the expected trade-off of battery power: the 36V battery delivers less total motor power than a direct 120V AC connection. For carpet vacuuming — the primary application for a backpack vacuum — 70 CFM and 65″ waterlift is effective on commercial loop pile and cut pile carpet. For deeply embedded soil or high-pile residential carpet, the corded model’s extra suction is more effective. For daily maintenance vacuuming of commercial carpet in hotel corridors, offices, schools, and retail floors, the Roam’s suction is fully adequate for the task.Complete Tool Set — Belt-Mounted StorageThe Roam includes a full 8-piece tool kit stored on the belt for operator-level access:Crush-proof hoseDouble-bend wand14″ carpet toolEZ Glide carpet tool14″ hard floor toolCrevice toolUpholstery brushDusting brushOne disposable paper bag included.

Call us at 763-535-0770 before ordering to add the battery. The machine is not operational without it.How does the hot-swap battery work?The battery housing is accessible on the back of the unit while it’s being worn. The operator unsnaps the depleted battery and snaps in a charged replacement without removing the backpack — typically a 30-second swap. For operations with two batteries per operator, this provides effectively unlimited runtime: one battery charges while the other is in use.How does the Roam compare to the corded Pac-Vac Aircomfort?The Roam trades suction performance for cord freedom: 70 CFM / 65″ waterlift vs the corded Aircomfort’s 110 CFM / 110″. The Roam is 12 lbs heavier (25 vs 13 lbs) due to the battery. It’s quieter (<65 vs 69.5 dB) and covers more floor per hour (10,582 vs 7,400 sq ft/hr) because cord-free movement is faster. For daily commercial carpet maintenance, the Roam’s suction is fully adequate; for deeply embedded soil or high-pile carpet, the corded model’s extra suction is stronger.
