    The Wayside 120V unit retains the same outer functions of the Station (vacuum, blower, and three hand tools). It differs from the Station unit in that it is powered by 120VAC. This is achieved by the use of a battery pack and charger. This unit uses the stored power to provide similarly functioning vacuum and blower.

    This amounts to a lower amount of consecutive run time than the Station or Wayside unit. Recharge time is also variant depending on the location specifics. The main benefit of the solar function is that this unit requires no on-site power supply.
