Overview
The VDK811PW 0201 is Vacmaster's corded specialty tool, drawing 11.5 amps through a 1380 watt motor on a standard 120 volt circuit. At 19.4 pounds it sits in the heavier end of Vacmaster's plug in lineup, built for owners who want sustained motor output rather than battery runtime.
Vacmaster's catalog centers on wet dry vacuums and shop equipment, and this model's spec sheet, a corded 120 volt supply pulling 11.5 amps, tracks with that kind of demanding motor load. There is no capacity or tank figure in the listing data, so confirm size and included accessories before ordering.

Who it's for
Suits anyone replacing a corded shop tool who wants a motor rated near the top of what a 15 amp household circuit can supply. Less suited to users who need cordless portability, since this unit runs only on wall power.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Corded design needs no battery to charge
- Motor draws near max household circuit capacity
- 4.5 stars across 949 buyer ratings
- No tank size or capacity details listed
- Corded only, reach limited by cable length
- Heavier than average at 19.4 pounds
Performance notes
11.5 amps at 120 volts works out to 1380 watts, close to what a single 15 amp household circuit can safely deliver continuously. That headroom suggests a motor built to run hard rather than idle, though the listing does not state duty cycle or runtime limits.
