The Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort is a commercial backpack vacuum combining Tornado’s 110 CFM / 110″ waterlift brushed DC motor with Deuter’s patented Aircomfort harness — five-point adjustment, air escapes from three sides, reducing operator perspiration by up to 25% vs standard closed-back systems. Features 4-stage filtration with HEPA cartridge, 69.5 dB quiet operation, pigtail 50-ft cord, belt-mounted tool storage, 7,400 sq ft/hr productivity, CRI Gold certified, and LEED qualifying. 4-year parts / 2-year labor warranty. Available in 6 Qt (93012B, 13 lbs) and 10 Qt (93014B, 14 lbs). Authorized Tornado dealer. Free shipping on orders over $30.
The Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort is the result of a collaboration between Tornado Industries and Deuter — the German manufacturer behind some of the world’s most technically advanced hiking and mountaineering backpacks. Tornado’s 110 CFM / 110″ waterlift motor platform is the same vacuum performance the Pac-Vac line has been built on for decades. What Deuter added is the patented Aircomfort harness — a back-panel and shoulder harness system that allows air to escape from three sides simultaneously, reducing operator perspiration by up to 25% compared to conventional closed-back backpack systems. The result is a commercial backpack vacuum that is measurably more comfortable to wear for a full cleaning shift than any conventional closed-back harness design. Available in 6 Qt (Catalog #93012B) and 10 Qt (Catalog #93014B). CRI Gold certified and LEED qualifying. Backed by a 4-year parts / 2-year labor warranty.

Longer shifts, higher-volume cleaning — fewer bag changes
The 10 Qt is 1 lb heavier and 4.75″ taller. Every other specification is identical. Choose the 10 Qt if your operators run long shifts and want to minimize bag changes between rooms; choose the 6 Qt if machine weight or profile height matters.
Key Features of the Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort
Deuter Patented Aircomfort Harness — Up to 25% Less Perspiration
Deuter is the German manufacturer whose Aircomfort back system was developed for high-output hiking and mountaineering — applications where back heat and perspiration management directly affect endurance and safety. The patented Aircomfort harness works by creating a ventilated air channel between the operator’s back and the vacuum unit — air flows through a tensioned mesh panel and escapes freely from three sides. In conventional closed-back backpack vacuums, the backpack presses flat against the operator’s back, trapping heat and producing significant perspiration during sustained cleaning operation. Deuter’s internal testing shows the Aircomfort system reduces perspiration by up to 25% compared to closed-back designs. For cleaning staff working 4–8 hour shifts in climate-controlled buildings, this directly reduces fatigue, discomfort, and body temperature over the course of the shift. The harness features five points of adjustment for individualized fit across different operator body sizes — shoulder width, sternum strap position, hip strap angle, and load-lifter angle.
The brushed DC motor delivering 110 CFM and 110″ waterlift places the Pac-Vac Aircomfort at the top tier of corded commercial backpack vacuums for suction performance. 110 CFM is the airflow that moves debris through the hose, wand, and tools into the bag. 110″ waterlift is the vacuum pressure that pulls embedded debris from carpet pile. Most competitive commercial backpack vacuums in the same price range run 90–100 CFM and 80–100″ waterlift — the Pac-Vac Aircomfort’s 110/110 figures are strong across both metrics. 8.5 amps at 120V / 60 Hz.
4-Stage Filtration with HEPA Cartridge — CRI Gold Certified
The Pac-Vac Aircomfort uses 4-stage sealed filtration including a HEPA filter cartridge:
Stage 1 — Paper filtration bag: Primary debris capture
Stage 2 — Foam pre-motor filter: Fine particle capture before the motor
Stage 3 — Motor protection filter: Protects motor from fine dust
Stage 4 — HEPA exhaust cartridge: Final exhaust filtration — captures particles before air returns to the room
The result is CRI (Carpet and Rug Institute) Gold certification — the highest CRI rating, independently verifying carpet soil removal, dust re-emission control, and carpet fiber protection. CRI Gold is the certification tier that puts the Pac-Vac Aircomfort on the approved list for commercial facilities with green cleaning program requirements. LEED qualifying.
69.5 dB — Quiet Enough for Occupied Hours
At 69.5 dB, the Pac-Vac Aircomfort operates below the threshold for significant occupant disruption in most commercial settings. Hotels can vacuum corridors during occupied hours. Schools can clean classrooms during prep periods. Healthcare facilities can maintain administrative carpet areas without patient disruption.
Belt-Mounted Tool Storage — All Accessories Within Reach
The tool belt stores standard accessories at the operator’s hip — crevice tool, upholstery brush, dusting brush — accessible without removing the backpack. Above-floor cleaning transitions happen without stopping to locate tools. This is the operational feature that makes backpack vacuums faster than upright vacuums in commercial settings: the operator moves continuously through a space, transitioning from floor to above-floor cleaning without bending to the machine.
Complete Tool Set Included — All Standard Commercial Cleaning Tasks
Every Pac-Vac Aircomfort includes a complete 7-piece tool kit:
Crush-proof hose — resists kinking and collapse under the weight of sustained commercial use
Double-bend wand — proper angle for floor cleaning without back strain
14″ carpet tool — standard carpet cleaning head
EZ Glide carpet tool — for low-friction gliding on carpet without operator resistance
14″ hard floor tool — for hard surface cleaning with soft brush strip
One disposable paper bag is included with the machine.
Pigtail 50-Foot Cord — Fast Outlet Transitions
The pigtail 50-foot cord allows fast outlet-to-outlet transitions during room-to-room cleaning without fully unwinding the cord. In hotel corridor cleaning where outlets are spaced every 15–30 feet, the pigtail dramatically reduces cord management time compared to a standard plug-end cord.
7,400 sq ft/hr Productivity
At 7,400 sq ft per hour, the Pac-Vac Aircomfort is significantly faster than a commercial upright vacuum on open commercial carpet — the backpack format eliminates the machine-pushing resistance of upright vacuums and allows the operator to walk at a natural pace with both hands free for directing the wand and tools. In multi-room hotel cleaning, schools, and office buildings, backpack productivity gains over uprights are typically 30–50% per shift.

What is the difference between the 6 Qt and 10 Qt models?
Bag capacity only — the 6 Qt (93012B) holds 6 quarts and weighs 13 lbs; the 10 Qt (93014B) holds 10 quarts and weighs 14 lbs. The 10 Qt is 4.75″ taller. All other specs — motor, CFM, waterlift, filtration, harness, cord, sound, productivity, tools, warranty — are identical. Choose the 10 Qt for longer shifts or higher-volume cleaning where fewer bag changes matter; choose the 6 Qt for lighter carry or tighter storage.
What makes the Aircomfort harness different from a standard backpack vacuum harness?
The Deuter Aircomfort harness uses a tensioned mesh back panel with an air gap between the operator’s back and the vacuum unit — air flows through the mesh and escapes from three sides, actively ventilating the operator’s back during operation. Standard backpack vacuum harnesses press the unit flat against the operator’s back, trapping heat. Deuter’s system reduces operator perspiration by up to 25% over a cleaning shift, reducing fatigue and discomfort over sustained commercial cleaning use.
Is the Pac-Vac Aircomfort CRI certified?
Yes — CRI Gold certification, the highest CRI tier, independently verified for carpet soil removal, dust re-emission control, and carpet fiber protection. Both the 6 Qt and 10 Qt carry CRI Gold. LEED qualifying.
What is included with the Pac-Vac Aircomfort?
Crush-proof hose, double-bend wand, 14″ carpet tool, EZ Glide carpet tool, 14″ hard floor tool, crevice tool, upholstery brush, dusting brush, and one disposable paper bag. All tools store on the belt for convenient in-use access.
