Can you mount a Dyson vacuum docking station into a hollow wall?

[Michael11]

Hi,

Just looking for some advice/guidance on whether it's OK to mount a Dyson vacuum docking station into a hollow wall (as there isn't a stud in the position I'd like to mount it)?

The vacuum weighs about 2.5-3 Kg's.

If it's OK to mount the docking station in the hollow wall, what anchors would be suitable? Would something like these Ramset Universal anchor's do the trick?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Michael

Hi @Michael11 

The wall anchors that you have shown are for concrete or brick walls

I normally use these wall mates for plaster walls where there is no studs available.

Just follow the instructions on the pack.

Hi @Michael11 

I used these they type of fasteners https://www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-3-16-x-50mm-countersunk-head-toggle-spring-4-pack_p2265630   to mount my Dyson docking station. I have used them to fix shelve to plaster walls where I can't locate a stud. I've also used the hook spring toggles to hang pot plants from the ceiling as well. Wouldn't use anything else.

Hello @Michael11

It's great that you've received excellent advice from @JoeAzza and @Jobey. I agree with their recommendations, you can also use the Ramset 16mm Hollow Wall Anchor - 4 Pack as an alternative. You can also mount your vacuum cleaner independently - How to build a stick vac stand. If have any other questions, please don't hesitate to post them.
