Hey guys quick question just curious of how you mobile guys without generators power your wet/dry vacs. Be sure to include the type of vac with HP/amp(if possible) specs when posting.

Customer supplied plug. Not one person has ever complained. I guess they'd rather I plug in than run a generator for several hours. In fact, nearly every time I pull up at a new customer's house, about the first thing they tell me is where the hose (no need with ONR though) and outlets are.



I have a Ridgid 4500 vacuum. 5 hp peak if I remember right.

qft! Same vac and I love it! No customers seem to mind. I think they're thrilled that they don't have to leave their homes and I work around their schedule.
 
I use Craftsman 5 gallon 5 hp vac. I have a Porter Cable 5250 Watt generator. I will use the customer's plug as well.
 
I have the same vac and usually use the customer's plug, but in a pinch I have a 750 watt power inverter by Husky that I attach to the battery of my car, and that runs it fine.
