Can you use a multiplug outlet strip so as to hook up multiple tools to the vacuum

Yes, as long as they all turn on and off at the same time and the starting amps don't overload the swith.

I haven't tried that but I don't see why you couldn't. They are very responsive answering questions. I would email them.

Yes it will turn on the vacuum with any sense load but only use one tool at a time due to amperage. Also this in it is extremely light duty, mine failed within two days and the refund process takes a month. Made in china

It should not be a problem, unless you try to run multiple tools at the same time and cause an overload. I have mine mounted to the wall and I plug a very heavy extension cord into the "tool" plug. At the end of the cord, I plug in a heavy duty 3 way splitter and plug 3 tools into it so I don't have to keep switching. As long as only one tool runs at a time, I have no problem.

Your question spurred me into trying it out. I set up multiple tools on an outlet strip and each one, when powered up, started the vacuum. Looking at the instructions, they hinted at multiple tools. No problems were noted when running multiple tools. Thanks for the question; it has expanded my use of this great switch.

Yes, you have the option to use the powered vacuum connections or pigtail to a nearby outlet.

Well, it's a good sturdy switch. I don't know about that kind of cord - they're usually fatter than normal, aren't they? It might work if you need a way to switch off a vacuum and this is your last hope. I don't know why you just can't pull the plug, but of course that's up to you. i think I'd try it if a regular appliance repair service had no answer for you. But if it's not actually strong enough to handle the required amount of electricity, what would happen - fire? I'd definitely find out about that before putting it on the vac cord!

Yes, the vacuum requires a 120VAC power source (plug). While that may be inconvenient for some, it provides a much better vacuum than a DC vacuum since it has more power.

No, the unit's hose is not wired like a whole house central vacuum system and the unit itself does not have an outlet that is wired either. VacuMaid may offer a unit like that, but for my purposes (cleaning the car in a detached garage) it was not needed.

You can plug two of these into a standard two outlet wall connection. Not sure about a power strip.

Yeah just like the previous response, you can run multiple strips on one dc adaptor.

If you mean additional strip, I don't believe you can, because there is only one connection from the front panel unit. It looks like a pretty standard 4 pin connection though. I'll try to remember to add pictures of the connectors to the product Page in a day or 2.

Yes. If you are talking about two different strips you'll need to make sure you have a transformer that provides enough power. If you are planning to cut one strip then you will just need to solder a pair of wires to to the cut section and run them to the transformer

Kate you would need an outlet; I thought of the same thing; I have an outlet in my garage but Ill probably have to use an extension cord; don't know if I helped you; but its a great vacuume; Danielle

You certainly can. The same power cord works for the cleaning system and the shaver.

No. This is 120v only. It does have 2 plugs for two separate 120v circuits. One for the tool and one for the vac. This is useful when your tool + vac amp draws are greater than a single circuit breaker (usually 15 or 20 amp rating). You do need access to two outlets that are on different circuits to use this feature. If your tool + vac can run on one circuit, you can plug one of the two plugs on this device into its own auxiliary outlet. This will allow you to run your tool + vac from one outlet/circuit.

you cut the strip to use it in other area , if so you need another transformer

Yes. MSD #8428. I would use a ported vacuum source, and play with the mechanical advance to get optimum timing curve for your power needs.

Yes I have a surge protector power strip for each of the adapters to plug into and the power strip is plugged into the wall.

I believe that it will work fine as long as you do not exceed the voltage and Ampere draw of the plug (120 V, pretty standard, 15 Amp, around that of a vacuum cleaner). Wire it properly and ensure that you have the ground wire connected. You should be fine.

Yes. The strip has two "key-hole" type slots on the back side, at the top near both ends.Unfortunately, they do not hold the strip firmly - to remove an electrical plug, you need to hold the strip to the wall with your other hand. Other than that, I am quite happy with the two strips I use.
