Truvox International partners with Pacvac and introduces the Valet Backpack Pro Battery
Truvox International is entering into an OEM partnership with Pacvac, Australia, and is expanding its popular dry vacuum range with the introduction of the Valet Backpack Pro Battery.
A cordless backpack vacuum which delivers powerful performance and effortless manoeuvrability in confined areas, it is deal for use in education, retail, leisure and facilities management and weighing a mere 5.7Kg including batteries, the unit is easy to use and is designed for all day comfort. The built-in 'Ecoharness' features three levels of height adjustability, comfortable thick padding and a breathable mesh backing, which allows for even weight distribution while supporting the back and shoulders for personalised comfort.
The harness is made from 50% recycled plastic, reducing environmental impact without compromising durability.
The unit delivers effective and effortless cleaning in hard-to-reach areas with a choice of either standard or boost modes and it features 4-stage filtration with a Hypercone filter for cleaner air quality. And with no trailing cables to worry about, it minimises the risk of trips and slips. Its lithium-ion batteries deliver 40 minutes of runtime, with just 1-hour 45 minutes to full charge. Plus, the battery life display and quick-release battery system ensures minimal downtime for users.
"Across any environment, the Valet Backpack Pro Battery gives users the freedom to focus on the most important cleaning tasks - especially in hard-to-reach areas," says Gordon McVean, executive director, Truvox International. "We're proud to partner with Pacvac, a global leader in vacuum innovation, and we're excited to continue growing our businesses together."
The unit comes complete with two batteries plus the charger, and is supplied with a full accessory tool kit, including: hose; telescopic wand; an all-purpose floor tool; and small tools such as a crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery tool.
Donna Rothwell, executive director, Pacvac, says of the initiative:
"Pacvac is incredibly proud to enter into this strategic OEM partnership with Truvox International. Seeing the Valet Backpack Pro Battery come to life in the Truvox branding is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and excellence in the floorcare industry. We are excited to support the Truvox team as it brings this powerful, cordless solution to its extensive network across the UK, Europe, and EMEA."
Truvox will be premiering the Valet Backpack Pro Battery dry vacuum with two other new products - the Valet Aqua range, and Hydromist 40 carpet cleaner - alongside its other established, proven and popular floorcare solutions including the Multiwash Pro range at Interclean Amsterdam in April.
