    • An Unbiased Review From A Tool Guy

I'm an old tool guy and I own a few Dewalt 20v cordless tools, and I have owned and own other brands as well. I've also owned several cordless hand vacs including recently the Shark and Dustbuster. I've been putting this Dewalt hand vac through its paces for the last five days and this is what I've come up with. First, I'd like to address some of the negative comments such as it being loud, or heavy. I really hadnt noticed it being any louder than any other ones that I've owned. It might be slightly, but its a more powerful vac with larger motor and 20 volts compared to 7.2 volts that most other hand vacs are rated at. You definitely wont be needing to use earplugs as someone suggested in their review...LOL. So when I first turned mine on after getting it, I was expecting something really loud, it wasnt, I just busted out laughing. As far as some saying its heavy. Yes it is a little heavier (maybe a few ounces), but please keep this in mind. Most of the other cordless hand vacs on the market are only 7.2 volts battery packs, including the two other ones that I mentioned. This runs on a 20 volt power pack thats more than twice the power of the others, so its going to be a little heavier, it has a larger capacity power pack. But, the trade off for those extra few ounces is that you get a much better performing vac, more powerful suction and much longer run times in between charges. Another reviewer mentioned the small debris canister, well its a half gallon capacity, (which is large for a cordless portable hand vac), much larger than most of the other cordless hand vacs on the market. Any larger than that, you might as well use a full size vacuum cleaner, its a portable cordless hand vac, not designed to vacuum a whole house. I've vacuumed my 4 door GMC truck, my Jeep Wrangler YJ, my wifes Mazda CX5, and my workbench work area without needing to empty the canister. Oh, and heres the one that really got me laughing once I tested mine. A couple of people said that the side exhaust vents blows the debris all over the place before you can vacuum them up. Well the vents shoot straight out of the side of the machine horizontally, not downward as one said. The only way the vent would blow the debris around is if you hold the vac sideways on its side (pointing the side vent downward). If you do that, the nozzle is then vertical and not going to vacuum very well due to the horizontal design of the nozzle. So those results would have been from user error. Another reviewer mentioned that the on/off switch is difficult to use. Well, if you'll notice in my 3rd photo, I have four fingers and a thumb grasp around the handle, so you just move one of your four fingers a half inch and flip the switch, its really that simple. If this 61 year old guy with arthritis can easily do it, I'm sure anyone else can too. So, for me its been the best performing cordless hand vac that I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few over the decades. I highly recommend, it will be the last cordless hand vac that you'll ever need. ... show more

    • Works Great For Car Interior Care
Good suction. Well balanced. Needs attachments to work best on car floor mats with deep grooves such as WeatherTech. Good trade off between suction and size. With the standard molded nozzle it doesn't work well on floor mats with grooves. With an attachment set, it works like a champ. I have found the attachment set that includes a spare hose, a brush with the long fibers and the crevasse tool makes this a really good shop vac. Uses very little battery life to clean out a car. If you have a supply of DeWalt 20v batteries, you are in business. I purchased the attachment set that is specific to the DeWalt Hand Vacuum. I haven't tried using it on wet surfaces but it works well on dry surfaces. Opening up the tank to dump dirt is convenient. The size and balance are good. If it were much larger, it would be hard to handle and if much smaller, the motor would likely provide less suction. I keep it in my garage and use it at least once a week on the cars and small cleanups in the garage and my shop. ... show more

    • Great Tool!
I picked this up on sale for less than $70. Of course, as are all DeWalt tools, it is great! I have never bee a big fan of the yellow and black, but the quality and reliability is certainly worth the little lack of visual appeal. This one is a gift for my son. I have one already and it works great for the small cleanup jobs. ... show more

    • Excellent portable wet/dry vac
This is a very convenient wet/dry vac (YES, you can use it with non-flammable liquids). It is nicely portable, and the hose can be popped out of the "snout" for more close-quarters vacuuming. I can hold it with one hand, and use a finger to work the power switch. Works good as a car vacuum. Seems to run for a nice long time with the 5Ah batteries I typically use. I have a Craftsman full-size corded wet/dry vac, and its attachments work fine with the DeWalt hose. The HEPA filter is some form of "plastic paper" that can be brushed off, washed, dried, and re-used. The DeWalt seems to have almost as much suction power as my Craftsman (that thing can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch). The DeWalt is not as noisy as my Craftsman, but it is loud--that is a consequence of its suction power. The only downside as others have shown/mentioned, is that you have to be mindful of the left- & right-side exhaust. That airflow can move the dirt you are trying vacuum up. ... show more
