• How do I turn the fan or light off?
  • Just unplug the Alpenblow Lux!
• Can this be used with vacuum packing bags?
  • Unfortunately no, the negative pressure is sufficient to pull air out, not to compress clothing

  • The Lux uses the same interface as the original Alpenblow, so they can share adapters or accessories
