The Lindhaus LB4 backpack vacuum is a professional harness-mounted vacuum built for speed in hotels, schools, offices, theaters, and transportation settings — anywhere a cord-dragging upright slows the route down. It comes in two versions on one platform: the LB4 Electric, a corded 700W machine for unlimited runtime, and the LB4 L-ion Superleggera, a 36V lithium-ion battery version weighing 10.8 pounds with the battery on board. Both clean an 11-inch path and carry a full onboard tool set. Free US shipping on orders over $30.

Which LB4 Should You Choose?
Choose the LB4 Electric for long uninterrupted shifts: the 700W motor delivers the platform’s strongest suction (90 inH₂O, 110 CFM), the double-plug 41 ft cable lets operators leapfrog outlets down a corridor, and it accepts the optional PB12e electric power nozzle for carpet. Choose the LB4 L-ion Superleggera when cords are the bottleneck — stairwells, auditoriums, buses and trains, daytime cleaning in occupied spaces. It trades peak suction and runtime (~30 minutes per charge, 90-minute recharge) for total freedom of movement, and runs quieter at 64 dB(A).
Where the LB4 Sits in the Lindhaus Range
The LB4 is Lindhaus’s backpack: the machine for stairwells, theaters, buses, and anywhere a floor-standing vacuum slows you down. The corded Electric (700 W, 110 CFM, 8.4 lbs) runs non-stop; the L-ion Superleggera (400 W, 36 V–6 Ah, about 30 minutes per charge, 10.8 lbs with battery) cuts the cord entirely. If you want cordless in an upright format instead, see the LB3 L-ION; for a canister-based system with big-tank capacity, the HF6 Pro eco FORCE is the stationary alternative. Both LB4 trims run at 69 dB(A) or below with the 3M Filtrete exhaust microfilter standard and HEPA H13 optional — quiet and clean enough for occupied buildings.
The Lindhaus LB4 Electric weighs 8.4 lbs and pairs a 700-watt Rotafil motor with 110 CFM of airflow at 90 inches of water lift, an 11-inch working width, a 1.06-gallon three-layer bag, and a 41-foot double-plug cable. The LB4 L-ion Superleggera runs a 400-watt motor from its 36 V, 6 Ah battery — 63 CFM at 50 inches of water lift, roughly 30 minutes of runtime with a 90-minute recharge — at 10.8 lbs including the battery.
Complete Your LB4
Two genuine Lindhaus accessories extend what the LB4 can do:
PB14e L-ION Power Brush — the LB4 is a suction-only backpack; the cordless PB14e adds motorized carpet agitation to the LB4, driving a powered brush head for deeper cleaning on carpet and rugs. View the PB14e →
LB4 Wheel Kit (182790081) — remove the shoulder harness and attach the kit’s wheels to convert the LB4 backpack into a rolling canister vacuum, for operators who would rather pull the machine than wear it. View the Wheel Kit →
Replacement Bags & Consumables
Genuine LB4 consumables — order below:
The LB4 takes Lindhaus LB4 vacuum bags — 8-pack with filters. Three-layer microfiber bags are part of the LB4’s filtration chain; running genuine bags keeps airflow and motor temperatures where Lindhaus designed them. For everything else, see the LB4 parts page or the full Lindhaus parts catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the LB4 Electric and the LB4 L-ion Superleggera?
Power source. The LB4 Electric is corded — a 700W Rotafil suction motor fed by a 41 ft double-plug cable for non-stop cleaning, with 90 inches of water lift and 110 CFM of air flow. The LB4 L-ion Superleggera runs a 400W Rotafil motor on a 36V–6Ah lithium-ion battery, giving about 30 minutes of cordless run time per charge with a 90-minute recharge. Both share the same 11-inch cleaning width, 1.06-gallon bag, and 9.3 × 7.9 × 19.5 in harness-mounted body.
What bags does the Lindhaus LB4 backpack vacuum use?
The LB4 uses Lindhaus LB4 microfiber vacuum bags, sold in an 8-pack with filters. Genuine three-layer microfiber bags protect the Rotafil motor and maintain filtration performance — both versions hold 1.06 gal per bag.
How long does the LB4 L-ion Superleggera run on one charge?
About 30 minutes of cleaning per charge from its 36V–6Ah lithium-ion battery, with a battery charge-level indicator on board; the battery recharges in about 90 minutes.
Can the Lindhaus LB4 drive an electric power nozzle for carpet?
Yes — the LB4 Electric supports the optional Lindhaus PB12e electric power nozzle for motorized carpet cleaning, which makes it effective on carpeted areas as well as hard floors.
