This is basically an updated version of the Proton Packs used by the Ghostbusters. Allegedly, it can suck a ghost through a garden hose. And speaking of which, hey lady -- I've got a little something that could use some...no? We're not going there? Okay.

Capable of cleaning virtually any surface from carpet to tile to stone or hardwood floors., the Ergonomic Backpack Vacuum comes with a powerful suction that is even able to tackle items like broken glass, confetti, nuts and bolts and pet hair among others. Each $170 purchase will come with padded backpack straps, a HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of all dust, telescoping wand, easy reach attachments, a 26 ft. power cord, reusable collection bag and six disposable bags.

Hell yeah broken glass, confetti, nuts and bolts and pet hair -- that sounds like a party! So why wasn't I invited. Is it because of last time? I already told you -- I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE BATHROOM!

Thanks to sarah, FDSY and Chris, who must really love vacuums. Or sucking. SWISH.

DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS ROOKIE!

5. Daisy - June 23, 2009 2:06 PM

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where Max told Baja her vacuum sucked. Baja said, yes, if it doesn't you need to get it fixed.

6. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - June 23, 2009 2:08 PM

That's no vacuum! It's Goliath's pocket pussy!

7. Moose Knuckle - June 23, 2009 2:08 PM

I could swear there was a Wall-E robot that looked like that...

I think it was, like, Fellate-bot or something...

8. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - June 23, 2009 2:12 PM

Mmm...Fellate-bot.

GFS #6 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. Pat - June 23, 2009 2:19 PM

Still cheaper than a Dyson.

12. dubba - June 23, 2009 2:24 PM

havnt these things exsisted for i dont know...40 years?

i remember a cleaning company at a place i worked at a decade ago wearing those things

13. Ubu7 - June 23, 2009 2:24 PM

I hope you still have to plug it into the wall. You know... for mobility.

I will wait for the day someone is cleaning patio furniture with this and falls into the pool while wearing it. ZAPPPP. Then I would say, "Man, that sucks. How shocking."

And then try not to snicker.

14. electrical outlet - June 23, 2009 2:31 PM

Yeah, but can you twitter with it while standing out in your backyard grilling sausages while holding the metal 'wand' up into the air wondering why the lightning won't re-charge the vacuum?

15. Trevor - June 23, 2009 2:32 PM

The cleaning staff in our building have been using these for years.

16. Riker - June 23, 2009 2:36 PM

Wow, I'm glad GFS didn't have to LMGTFY the spaceballs reference I almost completely missed...

I like how that chick looks like she's about to say: "Is this how you use this thing? Am I doing it right?". You know she's probably wondering where her housekeeper is at so she could tell her what a vacuum cleaner is.

24. naas - June 23, 2009 2:49 PM

Yes STOMPY I miss that little guy, but GFS downs a lot of CAT and by that I mean he shaves them before eating, then shaves himself - so I'm sure he's walking on the ceiling right about now

I went to taco bell for lunch, should've brought the laptop so I could've kept up in the last thread

I didn't know Paris Hilton knew how to clean?

At least she is tall enough to get the hard to reach places.

41. titsonsnack - June 23, 2009 6:34 PM

These are (or at least the idea is) super-old, the custodial staff in the building where I work have used them for years and I always call them the ghostbusters.

42. tyrade - June 23, 2009 10:14 PM

45. Jaded Icon - June 24, 2009 6:59 AM

I thought there would be more "suck" & "blow" comments....oh well, next time.

46. reptilard - June 24, 2009 1:38 PM

They should combine this with a jetpack, it would be easier for cleening the ceiling.

47. twellve - June 24, 2009 7:36 PM

why the hell would anyone want a vacuum strapped to their back?? it would be heavy, warm, and dusty.

48. MeVicky - June 25, 2009 5:25 AM

Why is this not called the bacuum/backuum?
Or even better, Backpacuum!

49. Darth - June 25, 2009 1:20 PM
