The best Nilfisk vacuum cleaners

Here we have reviewed the Nilfisk backpack vacuum cleaner, the Nilfisk EuroClean GD930 HEPA vacuum and the Nilfisk lightweight cleanroom vacuum.


The Nilfisk backpack vacuum cleaner

The Nilfisk backpack vacuum cleaner is small and relatively lightweight, but that doesn’t mean that it compromises on suction power because it has one of the most powerful vacuums available.

It’s been specifically designed to be small and quiet so that you can conveniently wear it like a backpack. Not only does this allow you a bit more maneuverability, but no more having to keep moving the vacuum cleaner nearer to you, the further you go. The only downside to this feature is that it becomes problematic when cleaning in tight, confined spaces as it’s almost impossible not to bump into walls or knock things over.

However, if you don’t like to or can’t carry the vacuum on your back, then no problem – stand it upright and use it as a regular vacuum.

Four-stage filtration system

As mentioned, the Nilfisk backpack vacuum cleaner has one of the strongest vacuums on the market, which makes it ideal for sucking up pet hair from carpets. But what’s even more impressive is its 4-stage filtration process.

The pre-filter: The pre-filter is the first line of defense. It captures the larger particles, thereby protecting and lengthening the lifespan of the other filters.

The primary filter: This captures slightly smaller dust and pet dander particles. More importantly, it protects the actual vacuum motor and the next two filters.

The HEPA filter: The HEPA filter is essential as it captures the smallest particles (as low as 0,3 microns), which includes mold spores.

The exhaust filter: The air the vacuum cleaner sucks in gets expelled as hot air through the exhaust. The exhaust filter serves as a final filtration process to prevent any particles which made it through the first three filters from being re-released into your home.

Included accessories

The Nilfisk backpack vacuum comes with a neat set of accessories that will make vacuuming so much more easier. Here’s what you get:

1: Five replacement dust bags.

2: A crevice cone fitting: For getting into tight spaces.

3: A brush on/off floor nuzzle: An interchangeable fitting that you change depending on the type of surface you are vacuuming (regular floors and carpets).

4: A telescopic wand: With the push of a button, the wand will extend for those places that are slightly out of reach.

5: A dust brush fitting: Makes cleaning and vacuuming items such as curtains and upholstery so much easier.


Nilfisk EuroClean GD930 HEPA vacuum

Need a canister style vacuum cleaner that is highly effective at removing pet hair and mold spores from floors, carpets, and upholstery? Then look no further than the Nilfisk EuroClean GD930 HEPA vacuum cleaner.

The lightweight 4-gallon capacity stainless steel canister is easy to carry around with its large carrying handle. It also houses the powerful 1000 watt motor that is surprisingly quiet at a mere 53 decibels.

In addition, the system has a thermal motor protection feature that helps protect the vacuum motor from overheating.

Three-stage filtration system

Synthetic filtering dust bag: A synthetic dust bag acts as a filter that collects all of the larger particles. Smaller particles make their way through to be caught by the foam and HEPA filters.

Foam pre-filter: The foam pre-filter captures most of the smaller particles that could interfere with the vacuum motor operations.

HEPA filter: The HEPA filter captures the smallest and most hazardous particles, including mold spores.

Included accessories

The GD930 HEPA vacuum is ideal for both industrial and household use. With the purchase, you will also get the following accessories:

1: One dust bag.

2: A crevice cone fitting: For getting into tight spaces.

3: A brush on/off floor nuzzle: An interchangeable fitting that you change depending on the type of surface you are vacuuming (regular floors and carpets).

4: A telescopic wand: With the push of a button, the wand will extend for those places that are slightly out of reach.

5: A dust brush fitting: This attachment makes cleaning and vacuuming items such as curtains and upholstery so much easier.

6: Hose: A surprisingly lengthy 6-foot long hose.


Nilfisk lightweight cleanroom vacuum

The Nilfisk Lightweight HEPA Vacuum is a reliable cleaning companion that combines very strong suction capabilities with an extremely lightweight design – and its surprisingly quiet too.

It has a two-filter system. The first filter features a 2-1/4 gallon capacity disposable paper bag, which is perfect for trapping larger debris. The extra-large main filter ensures consistent airflow, preventing premature clogging and optimizing the vacuum’s efficiency.

It also comes with a heavy-duty trolley that effortlessly glides over various surfaces, providing ease of movement. The trolley can also be detached, allowing for hassle-free cleaning on stairs and other elevated areas.
