Best Answer

It really depends on the size of the vacuum or buffer. Considering that the typical outlet in a house is (approximately) 115 volts and will handle 15 amps of current, the most the generator would need to be is 115V x 15A or 1725 watts continuous power. You can check the amperage rating on your vacuum or buffer to get a more accurate answer for your situation.

How many watts does a whole house generator use?

The size of a generator is based on what the connected load will be.

Some equipment does not show the wattage on its nameplate. To find the wattage use the following formula Watts = Amps x Volts.

There is no way to answer without knowing the wattage rating of the 9 volt generator. A generator's wattage rating depends on the size of the wire in it, the wattage of the rectifiers if it is a DC generator, and the horse power of the engine or motor that is available to turn the generator.
