bought this for 69 last year. Its a nice unit, lots of suction and small enough that it doesnt take up too much space. The bags vacmaster sells for it are garbage though.

Need to know how much power this draws - manual linked on page doesn't say, and the specs on the page are conflicting with "320 watts" (yeah, sure!), and "12 amps" (@115V = 1380 watts). Wanna power this from an inverter on a vehicle (don't ask), but only have a 1KW inverter. Really don't want to have to invest in a more powerful inverter just for this if I can avoid it.

You apparently think too much, lol. I don't think there's any way around it.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank narin

Btw, 320 watts is the air watt, the measure of a vac's sucking power.

The Industry Standard test for Air Watts is designed to measure the energy of the suction airflow created by a vacuum cleaner during typical operating conditions. The Air Watt value is the maximum amount of energy present in the airflow per second during test conditions.

Thanks OP. I ended up getting this one for $18 more:
Limited-time deal for Prime Members: Vacmaster VWM510 5-Gallon 5 Peak HP Remote Control Wall Mount Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum , Blue https://a.co/d/3BhACo1

It's 0.5HP less, but comes with longer hoses, more attachments, has a wall mount and can be controlled remotely.

Which one to go for? This or the Costco Dewalt that has wheels? I saw it in store for $89.99 and online it's $99.99. https://www.costco.com/dewalt-8-g...D=ios7.3.3

You don't need bags, but they are absolutely worth it.
3 bags at Home Depot for less than $20 is easy to get before work around the house.
One bag will last a long time if you're just using it for small jobs like vacuuming a car or cleaning wood chips from cutting 2x4s.
Where they really shine is bigger jobs.
Bags help a ton with drywall dust mitigation. You can vacuum literal pounds of dust before throwing the bag away. The bag won't let the drywall dust blow out the exhaust, and you get near full performance throughout the life of the bag.
If you just use the filter that comes with it, dust fills all the fins very quickly and has to be cleaned out while drastically reducing performance the moment you start. Using the filter also causes the drum to get filthy. Emptying the drum is much more of a mess in all aspects. If you use your shop vac for water cleanup anytime after, it will be absolutely disgusting and clumps in the corners. If you don't properly clean and dry it, the vacuum gets damp, moldy, etc. And stinks every time you use it after.
Try a bag, and you'll never go back.

Sorry for formatting, I typed this on a phone.

Looks like there is space for casters but they are sold out on the official website. Not sure if they are standard casters, maybe some from an old office chair could work? Hopefully someone who has the vacuum can let us know.
