will this be powerfull enough to opperate a 12 volt car vacuum? i can't find the amp rating for the vacuum, nut it plugs into to cars power socket

I am using this convertor for a 12 volt, 8 amp Slime air pump which also runs from the cigarette lighter in the car. This was the only converter that I found with this high amp rating, all others were much lower. You really need to know the ampere specification to make your final decision.

Here are the electrical stats on this particular shop vac - It is 120V, 60 Hz and draws 8.9 Amps. It is an excellent Shop Vac. Would recommend it to any one with a double garage. It will do the job!!

Not very well at all. I would not purchase this vacuum again. I recently purchased a Sanitaire SC3683A for our home and it would be perfect for a car. Don't believe it would work for blowing off cars though.

No & No. You plug this into a 12 volt DC source (your car or a 12 volt battery) and it converts it to 120 vac to power devices you would plug into your wall outlet in your home. This converter can power the equivalent of roughly four 100 watt light bulbs.

I think this item would be overkill for car use. The included power cord is only for 110 v use.

Probably not. This item is rated only up to 3 amps and any full-sized vacuum cleaner is going to draw considerably more current than that. (The description for this switch should probably say "small appliance" but even that might run afoul of things like coffee pots and toasters.)

I think it's made for using in a car. Just needs to be wired to a good source of 12VDC. I used mine with a 12V cigar male plug, with a power meter in the middle,so I could measure the power used by my 12v cameras and my telescope mount.

I plugged this into a 12V (3-cell LiPo) battery and measured current draw. It was taking 75Watts at 11.7Volts, so about 6.4Amps. In a running car the air pump will draw slightly more current, but not enough to overwhelm your charging system. If you have a smaller engine just turn off the headlights, it'll be fine.

I ordered it, used it once, returned it. Was the worst design of a vacuum ever! Sorry, can't answer your concern about voltage. I would suggest that you either return it if possible or give to charity.

The EUREKA S3681D draws 12 amps, running on standard 120 volt house current. Customer service person at Electrolux tells me this motor will outlast the motor in the red version of this vacuum.

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.

For a little shop-vac it has the power. I used it in the truck and in the car there is pick up real good.And I used it on small job it is a good vac. thank you all.

I do not know the rated amps. I dropped it once and broke the connections for the yellow cover.I have used it with a 10" table saw and a very large shop vac at the same time with no problems.

what they said. Its good for picking up dirt but the cord doesnt go much out of the car. I think you can buy an extension cord for 12 volt. In that case you would be fine.

indeed it will work very well as a 12v air pump should not draw many amps, is the only concern these are made for low draw for a long period of time ,if that is your 12v air pump this will fit the bill nicely.........

Overall, I'm not sure, however, if you have a Radio shack, take it to them, and they may help you find a universal adapter that may work. The main thing is to have the correct jack to go into the vacuum, and the correct power converter. I know this is general, but it will give you a start.

I would think so if it will accept the power plug just like in a vehicle but I would check the voltage draw as does fan us 6 volts or straight 12 volt. The reason I say this is fan may not be able to reduce voltage itself for proper operation.
