can it be used with a vacuum

no but there is a little dust collection bag which would pick up some of the dust.

That would suck! Actually, I think a vacuum could be attached in place of the dust collection bag. That would keep things nice an clean. It might be a bit awkward having a hose connected to the sander.

A smaller shop vac would probably work fine, if you reduced the end of the hose for the vac to match the outlet for the dust bag. I do not think a large powerful vac would work as well as it would not draw enough air... but a smaller 5 gallon size should. Have not done this myself... I just take it outside and work there with a mask.

Sure. I used it on an upright vacuum where the built-in switch was broken and the vacuum would not turn off. 2 minute install.

no likely. you would be really overworking a household vac. you might burn out the motor.

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.

absolutely, regular house vacuum does just fine, a shop vac would also have no problems. It's just pulling air out.

I wouldn't do it -- Vacuum cleaner's use a lot of electric draw. In my view, this very basic switch, would be severely under capacity for such a job and would melt down, or short out, rapidly. I would just pull the plug when you need to shut the vacuum off, which I assume you're already doing.

NO. You should use a Dust Extractor vacuum designed to handle fine dust to use this product.Your regular household vacuum will burn out it's motor with continued use.Al

Based on my experience, the vacuum only lasts for a day or two when new. Within a few months, no vacuum could be achieved. I would not recommend this item.

Have not used as a vacuum. Doubt it will pick up heavier pieces easily. Might pick up some mulch with the leaves.

Yes, you can. But just push the seal button and open the unit after about 5 to 7 seconds. No vacuum.

It comes with an attachment to use as a vacuum...best recommendation is ...look in "you tube" for instructions!

Yes, provided you have the ThriftyVac Check Valve Adapter. However, you can get a much stronger vacuum using the manual pump that comes with the ThriftyVac system, and you would not need an adapter.

No, I used it with my Shark vac. It is very thick and almost cat litter texture. It was hard to vacuum up

It is not recommended to use the vacuum without the filter. I don't know the answers to the rest of your questions, you'll need to look it up with Dewalt.

I don't think you can. It is a Dyson attachment so you need to have a Dyson Vacuum

Nope, it's not made for that kind of function. I would look for a vacuum bottle. You can find short ones if you that is what you need.

This is designed to be used with a vacuum sealing system. A regular vacuum will not work with this item.
