The Hoover CH01005 PortaPACK turns the CH30000 Commercial PortaPower into a true wear-and-go vacuum. Slip the PortaPower into the bag, cinch the padded waist strap, and the vacuum rides securely against your body without shifting side to side - both hands stay free for the hose and wand. The top opening lets the handle and power switch come through, and the storage pouch and mesh side pocket keep tool attachments and spare bags on the bag instead of back on the cart.
Use Cases
Commercial cleaners buy this bag because it solves real workflow problems:
- Detail vacuuming in hospitality and food service where carrying a bare canister scuffs furniture
- Stair and high-area cleaning where both hands are needed for the wand
- Building service crews moving between floors who keep all attachments in one place
- Auto and coach interior cleaning where the vacuum rides on the operator
- Quick-response cleanups - grab the loaded bag and everything is already in it
The PortaPower itself weighs just over eight pounds, which is why so many commercial cleaners wear it rather than carry it. Without the bag, the vacuum body swings in one hand while the other manages the hose - awkward on stairs and risky around furniture. With the PortaPACK cinched at the waist, the vacuum rides centered on the body, the power switch stays reachable through the top opening, and both hands run the wand. Reviewers consistently highlight two things: the bag genuinely stays put during stair work, and having attachments in the pouch instead of in a pocket or back on the cart saves trips. If your crews do coach, theater, airline, or stairwell work with the CH30000, this bag pays for itself in saved time the first week.
Specifications
Genuine Hoover part CH01005. Fits the Hoover CH30000 Commercial PortaPower lightweight vacuum (also fits the earlier C2094). Approximate dimensions 14.25 x 8 x 8 inches, black. Padded adjustable shoulder and waist straps; accessory storage pouch; mesh side pocket. Vacuum not included.
The bag also extends the service life of the vacuum itself. A PortaPower carried bare picks up dents and cracked housings from door frames and stair rails; in the padded PortaPACK the housing is protected, and the cord stays coiled in the pouch instead of dragging. For fleet operations, that means fewer cosmetic damage write-offs when machines rotate between buildings.
Sizing is straightforward: if your machine is the CH30000 PortaPower or the earlier C2094, this is the bag - there is nothing to measure and no strap kit to buy separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the vacuum come with this bag?
No. The CH01005 is the carrying bag only, sized for the Hoover CH30000 Commercial PortaPower (and earlier C2094) sold separately.
Can I run the vacuum while it is in the bag?
Yes. That is the point of the PortaPACK - the top opening lets the handle and power switch come through, so the PortaPower runs while worn on the shoulder or waist.
Will my attachments fit in the bag?
Yes. The storage pouch holds tool attachments and spare vacuum bags, and the mesh side pocket keeps small accessories visible and quick to grab.
Is it comfortable for a full shift?
The shoulder strap is padded and the adjustable waist strap stops the bag from swinging as you move, which is what users highlight most in reviews - it stays put during stair work and detail cleaning.
