There was a recall on a bunch of different dehumidifiers made by one company. We had one on the list and just got the replacement. Is it possible/would it make sense to repurpose the compressor as a vacuum pump? The machine is rated at 70 pints, the tag says 746 watts, 6.7 amps (I think). they just wanted a pic of the cord cut off as proof that it was longer being used. I wouldn't expect to leave the compressor/vac pump run unattended so I'm not overly concerned about the reason for the recall. I'd expect to use it experimenting with vacuum bagging, I'm not a turner so no vacuum chuck or that sort of thing.
Thoughts please?
