    The Vac N'Blo Pro comes with a 12 ft power cord, a 6 foot flexible hose that can be attached to the intake or exhaust side of the vacuum (making it a blower), two 20 inch, extensions, a blower nozzle, Pik-All nozzle, dust brush, crevice tool, carpet/floor attachment, inflator adapter, 4 piece Micro Cleaning Tool Kit and 3 disposable paper bags. All of these attachments allow you to clean up or blow off virtually any area you can imagine.

    So let us know the specs on the other vacuum too and that they have been verified.

    You know the sell 3HP table saws that could never run at that load as well.

    Anyone try it yet?
