I was wondering if anyone out there has any good recommendations for a cordless or backpack type vacuum?
Our facility is indoors and we are trying to figure out the best way to keep the rows clean (our favorite time of year is the Holiday "fake tree needles" week!)
Currently we manually sweep, or use a shop-vac and SUPER long extension cords, both of which take up too much time.
If anybody has any experience with this sort of thing, please chime in! Chateau has a battery powered "sweeper" but I cant find anyone who has used it.

OHHHHH If I could only justify a Segway in our budget!
Although my wife just reminded me how accident prone I am!
Our situation is strange; when our 2nd floor was constructed a "lightweight" concrete was chosen for structural reasons, however the "lightness" in this particular concrete is achieved using fibers mixed into the concrete (I am drastically oversimplifying, so any engineers out there please bear with me... this is how it was explained to me)
The problem is that over the years the "fibers" emerge as a kind of "fluff" that settles along the edge of every row. Its almost like a sticky Dryer lint, and very difficult/ time consuming to sweep with a broom.
Using a Shopvac works very well, but is really hard on staff (bending etc...) plus really long 150' + electrical cord runs are just begging injury/accident.
It might take some creative thinking to come up with a better mousetrap.
If you don't mind me asking, what model Makita's do you use? We were looking at a backpack one same mfg...
