  • A lot larger than expected, but I wanted the big capabilities and I was not disappointed there.
Color: Yellow Size: 16 gallon
Suction is just phenomenal and if you keep using bags, this will continue to be the case. Loved the design, the look, the high quality hose and fittings, all around great work. Longevity wise, as some have mentioned, this is not Dewalt per se, but it is made for Dewalt by a partner to their specifications. Overall, I am not surprised or disappointed by this. Support has been mentioned to be less than stellar when calling, but I have not tested this myself. I did purchase with the Amazon support contract for any issues I have with any failures, and that will have to be peace of mind enough for me. I would suggest the same, not that it was terribly expensive considering. So far, this unit has proven very capable of lots of suction and power, the fittings stay pretty well attached and the locking hose is very well made. As many have pointed out, the attached carry bag for the accessories is a bit cramped and hard to fit all the attachments, but they can fit. I think I would have liked a way to attach the extension fittings separate of this area, but it gets the job done. Love the hose locking rubber snap, that is handy and keeps the hose from flopping around all the time. Well designed, wheels are large and easy to move around, though make sure you are not expecting a small canister, this is a beefy large unit and takes up space. Make sure you know that. Very happy with my purchase so far. ... show more

  • Dewalt 16 gal vac
Color: Yellow Size: 16 gallon
I had meant to buy the StealthSonic version of this vacuum but messed up the order. As it turns out, this new vacuum is so much quieter than my 30-year old Craftsman that I am happy with my purchase. I saved a bit of money with that mistake, so it was a better value for the money. The suction power was everything that I expected, and the weight is about the same as my old one. My only complaint is that the hose is difficult to work with. As others have mentioned, the hose is stiff. BUT, if the manufacturer would have put a swivel on BOTH ends of the hose, the problem would be eliminated. How hard could that be? I do like the power switch and the way the filter is locked in place. ... show more

  • worthy construction vac, sturdy and well though out. Good value overall.
Color: Yellow Size: 16 gallon
I've gone through several shop vacs over the years, from the old loud as a jet engine metal canister versions to the more recent shop vac brand ones that were strong and quiet, and mostly worked well. I've taken to using shop vacs instead of my theoretically more powerful dust collection system for some power tools, like my 12" planer, because the more powerful suction of the wet/dry vacs just works better for chip extraction. My last shop vac, though it worked well, had some parts that cracked and I never liked the tapered tub, which made it hard to remove a full bag without tearing. I was looking for something sturdier, and easy to empty, and the shape of the Dewalt 16 gallon looked smart. Here's the bullet list for good and weak points on the Dewalt: Good: Suction - pulls like a beast, as good or better than any other shop vac. Build quality - quite nice, very sturdy plastic tub, good seals, latches are sturdy. Feels "tool quality". Nice. Wheels - better than expected. There is a review on Amazon that does not like them, but for vac wheels, they seem sturdy enough and have a rubberized rolling surface so they won't scratch hardwood, and roll quiet. I can see where they might seem small only if full of water on soft ground. (side note, the mounting system for the front wheels is the same as for the back pair, so in theory you could order a pair of front wheels and mount them on the back to have 4 casters instead of the 2+2 as it comes. I don't see a model with 4 casters in the 16 gallon size from the factory) Handlebar: sturdy and well made, and importantly, easy to remove for times when pulling the vac around a finished space might result in damage to wall etc, 2 little buttons to push, one on each side, and lifts out/snaps back in. Sound level - without the "muffler" (more of a baffle) and hoses on, it is comparable to the quieter pro version shop vac I recently had, so adequately quiet. I expect with a half load of dust in the bag I will be about the same. Tools - don't seem as delicate as some reviewers suggested, and importantly, are fully compatible with my old Shop Vac brand 2.5" accessories and hoses. Only the dewalt hose connection to the machine is unique, the rest are standard tapered tube arrangement. Cord - nice and long, seems to be good quality, and has little tab for plug to connect to wrapped cord to keep it tidy. Seems like it can either be wrapped around the nice big handle, or around the handlebar. Handle - nice and large, easy to grab from any angle. Hose storage - the rubber strap to secure the hose is actually pretty nice, heavy soft rubber, easy to stretch into place, and works if hose is connected or just tucked round and round the top, which makes things more compact for storage. A clever idea well implemented. Whoever worked on this design, give them a bonus! Neutral detail: The hanging bag storage system for accessories is just ok. It works, but not really for the tall tubes. On the other hand, it is a bit more compact than the fixed mount for accessories my old shop vac had, which had been cracked for years! Nice that they thought to put grommeted drain holes in the bottom of the bag in case it gets out in the rain etc. Drain hole goes all the way to the bottom of the flat tank, but is not quite as large as the one on my old shop vac. Included accessory that screws on instead of the cap, and has standard garden hose threads is brilliant though, and allows for remote draining, which would be slow, and theoretically remote SUCTION PUMPING, which is awesome for tight spaces like a bilge or small hole, limited to the suction height of the machine of course. Weak point: The only real questionable detail I see at the moment is the inlet/diverter, which is fixed on the inside of the tank. Shop Vac branded vacs have a design where the diverter slides upwards, and also traps the cardboard surround on the vac bags, making it easier to remove the bags when full by pulling up, and keeps the bags from coming off while in use. Perhaps the vacuum suction itself will keep the bag in place, and perhaps the bag will not pull away from the diverter and not be hard to remove, but I have doubts. I will update after some use if its problematic, or works fine. I might hack my old shop vac fitting and mount it on the Dewalt if I'm not happy with this arrangement. Time will tell. Overall, I'm giving this 5 stars because of the high build quality, suction power, sound level, and generally well thought out design. So far it seems like it has that "nice tool quality" feel that makes things more satisfying to use. Side note, if you are not using bags plus filters on shop vacs for dry pickup, START! Yeah, they cost money, but suction stays strong all the way through, and you don't have the hassle of banging the dusty filter clean to restore suction, or dealing with the dust clouds when emptying. They are expensive but worth it, but only for dry pickup. And for fine dust like drywall and stone dust, they are the ONLY way to go. ... show more

  • A Very Good Vac With An Annoying Catch
Color: Yellow Size: 16 gallon
We tuck pointed our rubble stone basement so I purchased this for a major cleanup of that job. Overall performance of the "head" and canister was plenty for picking up concrete rubble, stone chips and clingy concrete dust. I also bought the HEPA filters and bags sold separately for this unit. I'd rate filtration above average with these additions and would recommend anybody considering this vacuum also consider purchasing the upgraded filters which are very reasonably priced considering their HEPA rating. This high capacity, powerful and reasonably quiet vacuum has all the performance you need for major cleanups but there is a catch. The vac comes with a short 2.5" hose, two wand extensions, a floor sweep, a small detail brush, an attachment for wet vacuuming, several crevice tools and a muffler (which does work well). The hiccup in this package relates directly to the standard accessories although the muffler is an unexpected and welcomed plus. One doesn't expect superior attachments with most shop vacs but I was hoping for better with this upper midrange unit. The hose is quite short and extremely stiff and inflexible. This is typical of cheaper shop vacs but I really was surprised by just how difficult the accessory tooling was to use.. No innovative design or quality of construction separates these cheap attachments from what you'd get on a vac costing half as much. The various attachments and wands are very difficult to separate after use and take some care in marrying together and increase time and energy spent in cleanup. Unhappily, they are both difficult to put together and mate while at the same time being extremely difficult to take apart or rotate during use making working with the various tool combinations very frustrating and tiring. What you have here is a relatively quiet, well made (in the modern plastic idiom) large capacity and powerful vacuum which must be downgraded by extremely cheap afterthought tools. Here's a quick list of please and minuses: Pros: *Powerful suction *Easy to roll around and follows you well as you move around the job site *Good filtration when used with with bag (three are supplied with the unit) and reasonably priced HEPA filter accessories. Th vac comes with a standard filter which I haven't used yet. The Hepa filters are purchased separately. *Relatively light weight *Quiet for a vac with this much power Cons: *Cheap but not cheerful accessory tools and hose that make working harder *Relatively expensive compared to competition. If DeWalt paid a little more attention (or if you can find higher quality aftermarket accessories) this vac would be considerably more pleasant to use. As it stands, it does get the job done and provides a quieter, "well filtered" experience. Don't expect Festool levels of quiet but it is quieter than average nd I think that's a major consideration. I'd rate this a star higher if the accessories were easier to use and in fact I struggled with giving this a four star rating rather than three considering how mediocre these accessories are . The rest of the package is very good, if a biot more expensive than other is liar units. However, the accessory tooling simply isn't up to DeWalts usualstandards. A better hose, hose connections and improved tool package would see this powerhouse of a ship vac through to a five star rating. ... show more

  • SERIOUS suction power!!!!
Color: Yellow Size: 16 gallon
This has POWER!! I use canister vacuums to aid cleanup after smashing out OLD plaster ceilings and walls in my 84-year-old apartment building. This is my most powerful vacuum unit yet. For the time being, I did not attach the handle/wheels, so take that into account in my feature rating. I am working in big open space, sliding around on old wood floors, so I don't need those parts right now. I let the drum fill to a manageable weight, and then dump it into a big plastic Brute drum, for spilling out at the landfill. It runs quiet for its power, and the hose is RUGGED!! The hose spins at the machine-end (which works for me). I bought 2, so I'll put the wheels on the other for moving around in an occupied carpeted apartment (if someone spills over a potted plant or something). ... show more

  • Fantastic 120v dust collector for planer/jointer
Color: Yellow Size: 16 gallon
Works well for my specific purpose. That is to attach to a 13” planer and a 6” jointer. It’s not a dust collector but I don’t have access to 240v power for about 18 months. After that, it’ll be a very powerful shop vac with large capacity after I revert to a 3HP Jet dust collector. Is it too expensive? I don’t know, but I don’t think so. It seems very well built, even if the accessory bag is a bit small. I can say it does a much better job with the planer and the jointer than my Festool dust extractor does. (Festool never claimed their unit would be sufficient for a planer or jointer.). I suppose relative to Festool, it’s half of what Festool would charge. It does what I need it to do quite well. I’m glad I have both. Festool works well as intended and this Dewalt does as well. I’ve ordered the HEPA filter and I’m also attaching a cyclone tomorrow. I’m very, very pleased with this purchase. I only write reviews when things go ver well or when they go very wrong. This is the former. ... show more
