Vacuum Cleaner Review The
Outlaw B/V is a compact backpack vacuum at only 8 inches wide. It has a
comfortable harness system and a generously long cord at 50ft, making it one
of the more versatile machines available on the market. The 2 stage motor is
a nice touch, as it allows for more power produced from a single motor and
makes for a backpack with excellent suction. The Outlaw B/V offers the best
of all worlds in that it is a lightweight, compact style with a lot of power
and the ability to be versatile in a number of areas. Where larger units
would be cumbersome such as theaters, auditoriums, retail stores, offices,
even aircraft, the Outlaw B/V is a perfect machine.
One of the nicest features of the Outlaw B/V is the design of the canister.
It is triangular and well-thought out at only 8 inches wide. The triangular
shape results in better suction and also allows the operator quite a bit of
room to maneuver between tight spaces and even under objects with some ease.
At only 10 lbs, it is easy for the wearer to put on and take off and operate
for longer periods of time without fatigue. The canister is manufactured
from sturdy rotocast polyethylene and is built with commercial use in mind.
The Outlaw B/V is a pricier vacuum at $600-$800 dollars, especially when you
consider that the optional tool kits are yet an extra charge at $100-800
dollars. The trade-off is the generous 3-year warranty on the motor and the
10-year warranty on the body. This machine is a great investment in the long
run when considering the overall quality of the unit. Everything from the
buckles on the harness to the pigtail cord connection demonstrates the
amount of fine tuning that went into the design of this machine. The 2 stage
motor is a smart option to boost power without adding weight and bulk to the
backpack. Even the venting is well-planned with gaps on the lower part of
the unit to allow air passage without overheating the motor if the unit is
set on the floor while running.
Other options available on the Outlaw B/V include an optional snap-on HEPA
filter attachment and an optional outlet that can be used with a Powerwand
for more heavy duty jobs. The large 1.5 inch intake hose prevents clogging
and readily fits the variety of tools available either as kits or ala carte.
There are tools available for every possible application. The Outlaw B/V
comes in 120volt (US), 240volt (Europe), and 120v, 400hz for easy plug in
while cleaning aircraft.
The Outlaw B/V is a high quality vacuum, however, the only things to
consider are the loudness of the motor at 75db (the industry average is
between 65-70db), and the average size of the motor at 7 amp (low end is 5
amp, top end is 12 amp). Although a powerful motor for the size of the unit,
there are more powerful backpack vacuums available, even if they are much
bulkier. Therefore, it is very important to match the machine to the job and
have a good idea what will be expected over the long haul before making your
purchase.
