Lemon

 

I have had the GD-5 Back for about 4 years. It gets used on carpet about 1 x hour every 2 months. about 2 years ago. I too burnt out a motor. Today, it seems another one has burnt out. I really thought Nilfisk were the tops. Not so.

Great BackPack Vacuum!

 

I've had a Nilfisk GD5 BackPack for 2-3 years, and use it at home, plus as a cleaner for other people's homes. The frame on one side (that holds the shoulder strap) just snapped off last weekend, but still feel I got my money's worth on this machine....

Lightweight, Quieter, Reliable Machine

The plastic black frame that holds the straps could probably do with a bit of redesigning, otherwise excellent.
