    • This Works Great
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
This is the best battery vacuum I have ever seen or used. This is as powerful as my Mini-Shop Vac. As an added benefit if your battery charge drops you can plug it in. Whether on Battery or AC Power the vac seems to have the same function. I have been running mine on the same 4.0 Amp/Hr battery since I got it; I've used it for probably 15-20 Minutes and still have 3 Bars on the Battery. ** UPDATE ** I have used this vacuum for a few months now and it is still running great. The filter is simply rinsed under running water to clean it; I've sucked up all kinds of things including drywall dust and saw dust from my Dewalt sander and the quick emty and cleaning is great. The suction of this vacuum is astonishing especially given that it runs on 20V. I get well over 30 Minutes of solid vacuuming with a 3 Amp/Hr battery. While the power is not real increased by using a 120V outlet it does help with battery usage; though with over 2 dozen batteries that doesn't effect me too much. This vacuum is just so convenient because of the effectiveness and battery power. It is great being able to quickly clean up a job site that doesn't have power. I'm nearly elusively running Dewalt Max battery tools now; except for the occasional job my plug in tools are relegated to the garage and because of this vacuum that includes my Shop-Vac. Add (04/24/2016): I have added the 20 Volt Max sliding compound miter saw to my collection and while this vacuumed isn't a perfect fit a wrap or two with electrical tape makes it one. Added to the saw, to replace its horrible dust collection bag, the combination makes an almost dust free saw. Both work on batteries and allow me to bring the saw right into finished living spaces to cut. Saves time running outside and doesn't add too much bulk. I have tried the vacuum in wet mode without the filter and this thing sucks, fast, it will fill up its just over a gallon tank within 20-30 seconds. And the float ball stops the suction before too much water gets in. My only real CON with the vacuum is the worthless flat car attachment, it just hasn't worked for me. As a side note in recently redoing my kitchen pairing this vacuum with my Dewalt Palm sander made sanding the drywall another dust free job. ... show more

    • Very Impressive Vacuum
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
The Pros; I must say that I am very pleased with my purchase, it is very sturdy and well designed and having a cordless along with a cord is very useful in some situations, I found that it seals well and the attachments are readily accessible and well stored to where they won’t fall out, the 5 ft hose is flexible and extends well enough to keep you working and easily stores away and stays put. Would I recommend this to a relative or friend? Yes I would. Is it worth the price I paid? Yes I is. Is it practical for everyday use? Yes it is. Now the Cons; It’s not the lightest and not too terribly heavy either but I could see where it would get to you on a prolonged period of use. It did not come with a foam cap for the wet suction vacuuming, you need to buy that separately, overall a great purchase for the price ... show more

    • Great vac!
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
This thing is awesome. I would say it's slightly less powerful than a corded shop vac, but way more convenient. The only thing this hasn't been able to consistently pick up is small nails. When it does they sometimes get stuck sideways in the hose so I probably shouldn't vacuum them anyway. I was a little leery about the smaller size but it hasn't been an issue at all. My only beef with it is my beef with all wet/dry vacs, the filters get full of saw dust or whatever particulate matter is floating around and then you lose suction. This is where the vac being small comes in handy. My old corded shop vac never got more than 1/4 or so full before the filter clogged up. There was no point in taking it apart to clean the filter and then not emptying the thing, so the extra space didn't really matter. Depending on how much dust is around this thing gets 1/2 to 2/3 full before the filter needs to be cleared out. So the size is just right. Being able to carry it around without a cord is huge though. I use it on my car and around whatever job I'm working on. I can easily carry it around with one hand and it makes light work out of cleaning up. I wouldn't mind having a longer hose or a few other attachments for it, but I'm overall very pleased and would recommend in a heartbeat. I'm using a 60v 6ah flexvolt battery, but the battery life has also been very good from my experience. I also appreciate that it has a cord too. I have a few batteries so I only needed the cord the first day I got it before my batteries arrived. But I'm glad that in many years when dewalt changes up their batteries this will still be a useful tool. ... show more

    • This product sucks (in a good way)
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
This is a good vacuum device. However, its strength of suction is a bit lacking. It is helpful, for sure, as are almost all DeWalt products. However, I do wish it was somewhat more powerful.

    • Great product
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
Works really good. Use it to vacuum up broken glass in my car after a tree fell and broke the back windshield. Very light weight and easy to use.

    • Handles 9 out of 10 shop vac jobs
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
If you expect this to be a replacement for a corded 10 gallon vac you will be disappointed. However, if you want a lightweight and highly portable vac that can tackle 90% of your small pick up jobs, this is a great value. It's odd that it has more vac power on battery than if you plug it in, so I've always used it with a battery. To make it more useful I got the extensions with brush and floor tool. It handles almost everything I need and is very portable. I only use the big 10 gallon vac now when we clean the pool deck and need to pick up the water. ... show more
