I am thinking of purchasing this for my home cleaning. Is it possible to exhaust the vac to the outside?

You would need an extra length of hose to route the exhaust outside. This is an excellent and strong vacuum but is dry only, just so your aware of that and also uses bags. There are models that are wet/dry with no bag but the filter is very expensive to replace.

The instructions say to not open up fan but to vacuum with attachment and it will suck out the dust. This has not worked for me. There is dust inside beyond the slats and my vacuum is not strong enough to such it all out. Considering what to do about this now. Update: I have an electric leaf blower(7amp 160mph) for my patio so I tried using that to blow the dust out and it worked really well. I used a tiny bottle brush that I have that fit in between the slats to loosen any not blown out, then blew again. Worked really well! Now I will blow it out every month or so to avoid the buildup. Problem solved.

It is quitter than my other Shop-Vacs, but it still makes noise .All in all I would buy it again.

I use it in my shop but it's not really adequate for use as a dust collection unit. It has plenty of suction but doesn't provide enough cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air flow to really be efficient. In short, it's usable but less than ideal. However, if you're just looking for something to clean up with it's outstanding. I've been thrilled with mine and would totally recommend it over a shop vac. It's much quieter than a shop vac, provides more suction, has HEPA bags, and the hose is much more user friendlier.

probably, but not advisable. Better to use a pump or you can use a shop vac with the setting on 'blow'.

The only way is to rap a ground wire around the hose and ground it at the vacume. It is caused by static charge from the dust particles moving through the plastic hose.

I haven't had to try that yet--thank heaven. They (Shop-Vac) says it can, and I put more faith in them than some other brands. The one negative I've found with this machine is that the filter bag is an annoying waste of money. One of those great ideas that fail in the execution. Bits of debris can't get past the opening of the bag and back up into the hose. Then you have to disconnect everything and run a long rod through the hose to shove out the dirt plug if reversing it to blower mode doesn't clear it. I've given up trying to use the bags. Other than that, I'm satisfied with it.

I think so. Isn't a shop vac more powerful than a regular house vacuum cleaner? I just use my house vacuum.

Yes. Remove the dust bag and push on the shop vac hose. You,ll see the connection for the hose when you remove the dust bag. The dust bag is not very good but bettr than nothing.

No!! This one is just a BLOWER. Sorry. But do some more looking. You won't a (blower/VAC) There are several to choose from.Hope this helps!

Yes, I think so, but you would be limited by the cord, which isn't as long as a vac. cord would be.

Not for indoor use unless you use and exhaust hose venting outdoors. smooth noise but annoying after time indoors. Mist comes off mostly when you restart vac after releasing pressure to open vac it for whatever reason.I set mine outside an run the vac lines into the house eliminating all exhaust and most noise.I can only get -24.5 pressure vacuum.

You can adjust the valve on the hose where it attaches to the vac, but I will have to admit, this is just a noisy tool. The shop vac is pulling a large volume of air through the sander to keep you from breathing the dust while you work. Just purchase a few sets of quality earplugs (they are really inexpensive) and you will be fine. It sure beats having to clean up all that dust. I hope this helps!

You would have to have a vacuum with a blower function. Many shop-vac style vacuums have this, but regular floor sweepers often don't. If you do have one that has a blower function then you could probably duct tape the nose cone that comes with the air pump to the vacuum hose. The cone is removable and makes a roughly air tight connection to the inflation hole.

Not if you carry it on your back. If that's what you want it primarily for then I would choose a shop vac instead, but it is definitely possible.

No, it does not have that feature. The vac is simply for rugs and hardwood floor, dust and debris.
