I-vac C5 Basic – a versatile vacuum for the hospitality industry

Small in size but big on power, the i-vac C5 Basic is a powerhouse of a machine ideal for many different hospitality settings. This hardworking vacuum has a surprising array of features for its compact design, and the Basic version has a very reasonable price point to boot. 

Here, we take a closer look at the i-vac C5 Basic and give our thoughts on why this machine is an ideal companion for the hospitality industry.

Lightweight design

The i-vac C5 Basic has been built with weight in mind. At just 4.8kg carry weight, the i-vac 5 strips almost 3kg off the base weight of the Henry Hoover, making this an ideal machine for any operator to use. It can be easily manoeuvred, whether for a quick sweep or a more thorough clean and is light enough to carry about a building with ease and small enough to require little space for storage.

Build Quality

Hospitality businesses need a commercial cleaning vacuum that can handle the tough daily jobs, which is why we are so impressed by the i-vac C5 Basic. i-team’s products are tough and durable and have an excellent reputation in the market – the i-vac is no exception. The Basic design is similar to the standard i-vac C5, boasting a sleek but durable canister design that can fit into small spaces, easy 360-degree manoeuvrability, a 5l bag collection for simple and mess-free disposal, a 3-piece wand with a flexible hose, and an integrated tool holder for quick attachment changing on the go.

The i-vac C5 Basic is a user-friendly machine that simplifies both carpet and hard floor cleaning. Its design is tailored to meet the operator’s needs, making it a versatile tool for various cleaning tasks.

What our engineers think

“Repairing and servicing vacuums has been my working life for the past 20 years so have seen many changes within the industry throughout my career across many different sectors. 

Most manufacturers have been aiming to improve the ease of use for the operator over that time and the C5 highlights many of these advances.

The sleek design enables clients to store the vacuum neatly, whether they be on a housekeeping trolley or tucked away neatly in a store cupboard, and the storage of the brush and crevice tool at the rear is a handy feature, too. 

I personally feel the dust bag is extremely quick and easy to replace, and the bag closure feature, which comes with most vacuum bags these days, is a must for the safety of the operative. 

Detachable mains cables are always a big plus point. We know accidents happen from time to time so to have that feature enables a quick and easy replacement to ensure the vacuum isn’t out of order for too long. 

The noise levels are low too when compared to most vacuums, and the vacuum hose is one of, if not the toughest, I have seen in recent years. It has been designed in a way that if twisted at either end it will not split or detach from the curve. 

Overall, I would say it is a smart, sleek looking vacuum but has a toughness and reliability too ensure it keeps going and going in most environments.” – Ray Oram
