In the Box

Your Raven ships with the backpack vacuum, its cushioned shoulder harness and waist belt, a 20-foot power cord, and a free starter pack of the correct genuine bags from Twin City Vacuum. If you choose a configuration with the tool kit and/or the power-head kit, those attachments are included with that model.

About the Power-Head Kit Option

This Raven can be ordered with the optional power-head kit — a motorized floor tool with a driven brush roll that agitates carpet pile as it vacuums. The spinning brush lifts embedded grit, pet hair, and traffic-lane soil that a standard air-driven tool leaves behind, so the power head is the choice for cut-pile and commercial carpet where deep cleaning matters. The standard air-driven tools stay better for hard floors and above-floor detailing. Pick the configuration with the power-head kit at checkout, or add it later — call 763-535-0770 if you are not sure which setup fits your floors.
