Questions & Answers
Does this model accept bags or have bags available?
Asked by mkm1 December 19, 2014Yes, mine came with a bag and I am using it. The fine dust will clog the filter and the suction won't be as strong. You can use it without a bag but you should use one or you'll go through filters pretty quick and lower the performance of the vac while making the motor work harder.
How do I remove the filter? Does the little white nut unscrew or does it get pulled out?
Asked by Niecie December 29, 2017unscrew?
Can you hook this up to your table saw for dust collecting?
Asked by Mb January 8, 2017Yes. You need to get an adapter that fits both the 2 1/2" vacuum hose and your table saw dust outlet. Mine was 2 3/4" so I got an adapter that connects 2" plastic pipe to cast iron. Works great.
how much does it weight
Asked by robert February 7, 201923.2 lbs when vac drum is empty; maybe up to nearly 100 lbs when full, depends on debris or liquid
Can this item be used without having the 'dry' filter in vac?
Asked by SA November 25, 2018For water vacuuming, yes. For dry waste, no.
To vac up water, do I need to buy a special filter?
Asked by sks804 November 29, 2016Just remove the regular filter and bag and it will work for water. Optionally you can add a wet filter (VF7000) to help reduce water going thru the machine.
does the warranty cover the motor?
Asked by handydaddy November 30, 2014The warranty covers only defects in Materials or workmanship from the manufacturer.
Can I use my Hoover vacuum tools?

Does this model come with an attachment suitable for sucking up water from upholstery (sofa)
Asked by alicia December 19, 2016yes. for that u need thin mouth attachment.
