Hi. You need 12V power outlet . Plug item in the cigaret power outlet (12V) of the car. Then item work. Thank you

There is a caddy you put the SharkVac in so you can wheel it from lets say the garage to the pool area. Plus the caddy keeps the vacuum off the ground while not in use. I would recommend to buy it with the caddy.

I only use it when the system has a vacuum. That way no air if you hold the unit upright

A vacuum cleaner worked fine for me. If you need more power, the Black & Decker pump is good.

Of course. All vacuums work in car interiors. Unless you ask them to do accounting. They draw the line at accounting.

no, you plug it into your standard electrical 110 volt outlet. It has a 12 foot electrical cord which is adequate for my needs since my outlet is close to my car which is why I bought it for cleaning the car's interior. It has great suction by the way. I've used it many times since I wrote the review.

This vacuum needs to be plugged into a cigarette lighter or a 12 volt accessory plug ,most cars have a spot to install a cig. lighter if they don't already have one

Most cars yes they will need to be on. Some cars have accessory ability when turned off.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.

No. the vacuum has a switch on/off. It is reasonable for small jobs but you got to keep handy couple battery around...

No. You would just be blowing the dust around inside the car. You are better off using a portable vacuum to pickup the dust and debris.

No - the car does not need to be on to operate the inverter. As far as 'runtime' is concerned, two factors are important: A) the draw from the connected device and B) battery capacity. You can likely find runtime information and calculation formulas on the manufacturer's website or via a web search.KEEP IN MIND that car batteries ARE NOT designed to be constantly drained (it will affect long-term battery performance), so it would be best to periodically run the vehicle to prevent the battery from running down too far.

Your car needs to be running, this needs to be plugged into the car, and whatever you need to be powered must be plugged into this.

No. you have wind it up yourself around the section between the body of the vacuum and the wheel base, but the vacuum is worth having to wind the cord up yourself. It is a really good little vacuum!

Yes, but don't waste your money. It does not have good suction. I returned it and bought a Black and Decker Dustbuster 15.6 volt, that I take from my garage, which is plugged into the charger. It is good for light duty vacuuming, but a commercial car wash/vacuum center does the best job. Hope this has helped!

Yes, but the unit only vacuums if it is underwater. Turn it on out of the water and then immerse it. Take it out of the water before you turn it off. The vacuum running creates internal pressure which helps seal the unit when immersed.

What if you want the pump because you go on a vacation. You cannot always get the use of a vacuum cleaner. Were going to Europe and I do not know if they will let me use the vacuum.
