A:  Hello steve, Thank you for your inquiry! While, this vacuum is good for light vacuuming, we are not certain if it is good enough for your job. This is only rated 1.75 peak HP and 45 CFM in terms of suction power. Having said that, if you need help finding the right vacuum for your needs, you may contact our Customer Service at 1-866-994-8759 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we’ll be glad to assist you.

A:  Hello Steve, Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. This product is only recommended for Dust Mites, General Debris, Pollens, Sawdust. We strongly advise against using this product for sewage. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.

A:  Hello Rick, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. However, the hose that is only available for the vacuum is a 4' length. We do not have any hose longer than 4' length, because if the hose exceeds that length the suction of the vacuum will decrease. If you have additional questions or concerns, you may call us at 1-866-994-8759 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info.info@emerson.com and we'd be glad to assist you. Thanks, Emerson Tool Company

A:  Another thing that happens if you add hose extensions is a deafening, loud, shrill whine from multiple points in the full length. And I agree that suction power degrades the longer the hose.

A:  If you want to try it, Ridgid makes an accessory hose of the same diameter. Sold at HD. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-1-1-4-in-Premium-Car-Cleaning-Accessory-Kit-for-RIDGID-Wet-Dry-Shop-Vacuums-VT2534/100638355

A:  Hello DizzleKrizzle, Thanks for your inquiry. This vac only takes VF2000 bag filter. We cannot confirm if FilterPal is compatible.

A:  At the peak 1.75 Hp advertised, wattage would be about 1300. According to the manual, it is rated at 4 amps or about 500 watts on 120 VAC.

A:  Yes

A:  We use 5 gallon buckets... a bag would probably not work well at all...

A:  Hello chaz, Thanks for writing a review and we're sorry to have learned your disappointment. There's no dust collection bag. This vac only uses the filter bag VF2000. If you have more questions, you may call us at 1-866-994-8759 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'd be glad to assist you. Thanks, Emerson Tool Company

A:  Why are there so many of these type of questions? YES you can get attachments. YES, even that crevice tool. Look to see what type of hose that this Buckethead or any comparable vac uses. Can't find it? You didn't look. It is 1 1/4 in tubing. That means that it is 1 1/4 in adapters. ANY adapters of this size will work? Can't find that? look for an adapter that will adapt to a 1 1/4 in fitting.

A:  Hello BJD44, Thanks for your inquiry. The 1 – ¼” RIDGID accessories will fit the hose of your Buckethead. On the other hand, the 1 – ¼” crevice tool (VT1402) can be special ordered through Home Depot’s prodesk. If you have more questions, you may call us at 1-866-994-8759 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'd be glad to assist you. Thanks, Emerson Tool Company

A:  Any 1.25 hose and adapters will work. You can buy these at home depot or pretty much any where.

A:  Hello Mari, Thanks for your inquiry. The replacement hose (part number 825625) can be special ordered through Home Depot’s prodesk or special orders desk.
