Sandia 30-2001 Hipster 6-Quart Hip Vacuum
150 CFM | 1340 Watts | 1.5 HP | 115 Volts | Standard Tool Kit
Important Weight Information
The current factory-published machine weight is approximately 12 pounds before adding tools and accessories. This is a commercial hip-mounted vacuum and should not be confused with a small, lightweight handheld vacuum. Please confirm that the machine weight is suitable for the intended operator before ordering.
Commercial Cleaning Power in a Hip-Mounted Design
The Sandia 30-2001 Hipster is a professional 6-quart hip vacuum designed to provide strong commercial suction while allowing the operator to move freely through offices, theaters, stairways, vehicles, aircraft interiors and other areas where a conventional upright vacuum may be difficult to maneuver.
Its internal disposable paper micro-bag works with a washable cloth shakeout bag to collect debris while helping maintain cleaner exhaust air. An internal bag-support plate helps prevent the bag from collapsing and restricting airflow as it fills.
A sound-deadening double-wall motor chamber helps reduce operating noise, while the cushioned adjustable waist belt distributes the machine’s weight around the operator’s hips. The reversible lid and hose arrangement can be configured for either left-handed or right-handed operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this vacuum truly lightweight?
It is compact compared with many full-size commercial backpack vacuums, but the current factory-published machine weight is approximately 12 pounds before tools and accessories. Operator comfort and lifting ability vary.
Does the weight include the cleaning tools?
No. The stated factory weight should be treated as the approximate machine weight before adding the hose, wand, floor tool and other accessories.
Can it collect water?
No. This model is intended for dry pickup only.
Can the hose be used on either side?
Yes. The reversible lid allows the vacuum to be configured for left- or right-handed use.
Is this a HEPA vacuum?
Do not assume standard model 30-2001 includes HEPA filtration. Sandia offers different filtration configurations. Confirm the required filtration level before ordering.
Is the vacuum made in the United States?
Sandia identifies the Hipster as manufactured in the USA.
