Overview
Corded and running on 120 volts, the Vacmaster VF408B 1101 draws 8 amps through a 960 watt motor. At 14 pounds it is portable but built with enough motor power for regular utility use rather than light household tasks.
Vacmaster is best known for wet and dry shop vacuums and vacuum sealing equipment, and the 960 watt motor here fits that category of corded utility tool. The 8 amp draw is within range for a standard household outlet, so no special wiring is needed.
- 120 volt corded electric power
- 8 amp draw
- 960 watt motor
- 14 pound weight
Who it's for
Suits shop, garage or workshop use where a corded electric utility tool with real motor power is needed. Its 14 pound weight and cord make it less convenient for quick, cordless jobs.
Pros and cons
- 960 watt motor for consistent power
- Runs on a standard 120V outlet
- Corded, limits mobility
- 14 pounds is heavier to carry
Performance notes
The 960 watt, 8 amp motor running on a standard 120 volt outlet gives consistent power as long as it stays plugged in, without the runtime limits of a battery. At 14 pounds it is heavy enough to sit in place during use rather than being carried around a job.
