How flexible is it? Could I use it to unclog a vacuum?

I think it would work, unless youre talking extreme right+ angles.. It is pretty flexible.

It is completely flexible; I am sure it would work to unclog a vaccum. It works on a kitchen sink, which surprised me. Good luck!

This is a very flexible item. You should be able to maneuver this item through a vacuum cleaner hose or air passages in the vacuum cleaner.

Yes, definitely. In fact, I used it today to unclog a wad of hair that got stuck in the hose of my canister vacuum.

It's fairly flexible, at least to go up a p trap under a sink so it should probably work. It's cost only few dollars so there's not much to lose if it doesn't.

Yes....it has amazing suction - better than the previous Dyson I owned....but it also makes amazing noise picking up the paperclips, so maybe a little bending over wouldn't be out of place.

Personally I haven't tried it but don't see why not since the pump is a separate unit anyways and the nozzle is flared. As long as you can change the hose on your vacuum.

Yes, it can, and that is how I ended up with a broken unit. It is supposed to work, but when I applied vacuum, the gauge topped out and has not moved since. (high side). I was able to pull a vacuum and do the work. I think I got a bad unit. Still, all together, it cost less to buy this and have it go bad than to have the A/C work done in the first place.

I designed a dust collector from sheet metal. I attached my shop vac up to it and it works very well. The only thing, is you can't take alot off at once. It will clog up the vac hose.

Yes, definitely. Although the receptacle is smaller than that of a vacuum, the hairs compress nicely to fit a nice amount and make it easy to empty. I would suggest using the vacuum at the low speed to prevent damage to the motor from grit or dirt.

I am sure it could, although only if it were a small amount so I'm not sure it would be very effective. You would have to empty it more than I think would be viable for it to be a good vacuum to choose.

Is flexible, the hose is flexible. I usually will connect the hose first and screw the pump after, but either way works.

I don't believe so, they have a specially designed valve thing for the vacuuming. U just press on the lid and it goes out the mechanism. I don't think this would work with an other devices. The valve thing has a 'skin' over it to lock air from coming back in, I don't see how you could bypass that.

I think it is more flexible. A much nicer hose and I think more durable. The weight, maybe a little more but it really handles well so you don't notice. We vacuumed vermiculite out of our whole attic and bought an extra 25 ft hose and it really wasn't too hard to handle and never pinched, and we constantly stepped on it etc and never hurt the thing!

No, it would not be. Not because of poor suction but because of the stick design. There is no flex hose that comes with it where you can attach to the vacuum. I would recommend the Miele canister vacuum for your purpose. I also have one of those and it is wonderful.

It can loosen the dirt, but it will not vacuum up the dirt. You would need a wet suction machine for that. Like a carpet cleaner.

That's exactly what I use it for, and it does a great job. Just beware of the on/off button. It's VERY difficult to push backward to turn off. But the vacuum does such a great job, it's worth that aggravation.

You've have to be pretty stout but I don't see a reason why not. The vac decreases the suction of a vacuum down to a pretty manageable amount though so you could have some problems dealing with that.

Should be fine for anyone , less work than the hose dragging a canister vacuum behind your .

It's a plastic hose. I wouldn't think that the hose would collapse during vacuuming air out.

As long as the vacuum motor is a brush type motor it will work. The commercial cleaning equipment manufacturers are starting to use voltage reducing switches on some of their backpack vacuums. They are doing this do reduce the noise level because there are more building going to daytime cleaning. Gunslinger45 has a great idea though. You could make a homemade suction diverter by drilling a hole on the upper end of your vac tool and using a piece of cork to plug it when you want full suction. Pull the cork out, it lets air in and reduces the suction.
