    • It SUCKS, But In A Good Way! Great Portable Vacuum. (UPDATE)
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
I just recently took on a job driving a school bus and if you are a school bus driver, you understand how much of a pain in the you know what it is to sweep in between the seats to get the dirt out and all other kinds of things that children drop on the floor of the bus. I bought this vacuum because I have already invested into the DeWalt 20V Max tool line and have a few of those batteries around to run my tools plus I needed a vacuum that would be much stronger than your usual big box brand store type dust buster. This vacuum does fit the bill and does the job nicely. It has strong suction for a battery powered vacuum which supprised me, even to the point where it is almost as strong as my 5 gal shop vac that I have in my work shop. It comes with on board tools that you would most commonly use on a shop vac and this vac with the cord option weighs in at just over 9 pounds. The only cons that I am finding with this vacuum which are not many... - It does not come with any extension wands to allow you to reach into that hard to reach areas like what a school bus would have but you can get generic extensions at your local Lowes or Home Depot. - On a 5Ah 20v Max battery, it will run about 20 minutes only. BUT will run off a 120V power inverter that is capable of supplying over 300W. (If you have the corded option with this vacuum) - Lastly, This vacuum from what I have researched is not packaged with a battery and a charger if you want to use it in the battery mode. It will require you to purchase a battery and a charger seperatly wich can be an additional $150.00 or more, depending on the size battery you get. I have this vacuum now for some time and it continues to work flawlessly! I have purchased the 60V Flex Volt Batteries to use on not only this vacuum even though it will only draw 20V. BUT IT IS 20V at 9Ah, but other DeWalt tools that I have and this vac will run for a VERY LONG TIME before needing to charge the battery. I am finding that when I need to do small vacuum jobs around my house, I pass up my dust buster that I have and use this vacuum. ... show more

    • Powerful and Versatile Mini Shop Vac
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
This is a super, practical little shop vacuum. Buy an extra 6 amp or more DeWalt battery. The knock off batteries are never as good.

    • Love it
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
I can’t express enough how much I love this. It’s portable enough that I feel I can grab it at any time to tackle cleaning when needed. My 40 gallon vac gets less usage because this is so handy and seems as powerful. I rarely use the A/C power because the battery does the job.

    • Good; not as good as previous model
Style: Wet/Dry Vac Only
I waited awhile to post this review to see how this vacuum performed for a month or so. I have the older DC500 model, and was always very pleased with it. It worked well, was quieter than most similar products, and lasted for years with a lot of use. Finally, it started hesitating to start, and when I took it apart, I could find no problem, and the motor seemed clean and the shaft moved freely, so, while I still suspect a motor problem, I decided to get a new machine instead of springing for a new motor (still available, however) for the old vacuum; especially since I wasn't even sure that that was the problem. The new model is a little different, and I'm not impressed with the changes. It is still quieter than most, and works effectively. I leave it plugged in in my workshop most of the time, and use it enough to have to empty it about once a week. I do not use it on battery power, so I have no comment about that feature. I give this vacuum four stars mostly on the basis of it's effectiveness and my expectation of longevity, but otherwise I would rank it lower for the following reasons. Unlike the old model DC500, there is no cover for the battery plug-in area, leaving the contacts much more likely to pick up dust and grit in the shop. As I said, I don't use that feature much, but I do have other DeWalt tools with compatible batteries, so I wouldn't want to find myself wanting to use it on batteries and find it gunked up. I duct taped a Ziploc bag hanging over the battery contact area--a solution I think will achieve the desired effect; although unsightly. Another issue, albeit a minor issue, is that unlike the earlier model, there is no drainage port in the base. I wouldn't remove any stars because of that, but it bears mentioning if a potential user doesn't have the muscle to lift up a vac base full of water and turn it over to empty it. I haven't actually done a comparison test on this, but it APPEARS that the new model would hold less in its base than the older model. In any case, the filter is definitely smaller than before, so if a user happened to have an extra filter or two on hand for the older model, they will not fit the new model. Most annoying of all of my quibbles is the hose. The hose on my old machine is still good, but the fit is not the same, so my old hose cannot be used on the new machine. Besides that--and this may just be my particular unit rather than all of them--the hose on the new unit fights removal and requires considerably more effort to remove when I want to switch from vacuum mode to blowing mode. It is somewhat more cooperative when It's time to remove it from the blowing port. Lastly, and also having to do with the hose, the rigid attachment at the hose end that receives the various extensions and other attachments came off in my hand while using it to vacuum up some sawdust on my workbench one day! I tried to kind of screw it back onto the corrugated hose, but that was insufficient and I ended up with the duct tape again; this time to secure the hose end onto the body of the hose. This never happened with years of use on the older model. I'm still giving four stars--at least on an interim basis--because of effectiveness, relative quietness, and EXPECTED longevity. It does bother me, however, that this vacuum has these issues that it's predecessor did not. ... show more
