Amazon.com Product Description
Giving you the option to work cordless or corded, the convenient and powerful DeWalt DC500 Two Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum sucks up big work shop messes and job site debris quickly and efficiently. A unique, high-efficiency filter handles particles as small as 0.3 microns and captures 99.7-percent of dust, letting you present finished products neatly and keep fine drywall dust and other health hazards out of the air. The filter can be rinsed clean, and, since it is a wet/dry filter, you don't have to worry about time consuming change overs between jobs. This vacuum's heavy-duty rubber hose flexes to fit in awkward spaces, and it comes with both a crevice tool and a wide nozzle for added versatility. Other convenient features include an on-board hose design, cord and accessory storage that makes moving from site to site easy, and a drain port on the tank for quick, spill-free disposal of liquids. This vacuum runs off either 120-volt AC power or 12-18-volt DeWalt batteries (batteries and charger not included). This DeWalt high-performance industrial tool is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

 It makes sense November 10, 2008
I bought the DC500 vaccum nearly 2 years ago and I have been using it a lot. It is not very powerful compared to a large shop-vac but extremely convenient and that's why I use it so much.
I recomend it if you have other Dewalt tols and batteries and if you're willing to accept trade-offs: it is not perfect but works well.
I use it corded when cutting or sanding and it has plenty of power to suck sawdust. i use it cordless when I need something portable (clean car). The battery drains in about 15 minutes. On one hand a quick drain is a problem but it also shows that it has a high power. You can't have you cake and eat it too so I figure it is a god sign that the battery drains quickly.
The power is the same corded/cordless.
The filter is great and durable (i am still using the same one). there is no bags needed, just clean the filter!
A word of caution: it is not weather-proof, don't let water get inside from the top. There is a sensitive electronic board unprotected. And don't remove the filter when vaccuming water (my neighbour killed the first one doing that).
Improvement suggestion: weather seal the electronic board; perfect the attachement (they sometimes fall off), reduce noise.
 Weak! September 14, 2008
I needed a powerful cordless wet/dry vac so I did a lot of research, ended up trusting the Amazon reviews for this product, and finally bought it from Amazon. I was really disappointed when I unpacked it and tried it: it was extremely weak, whether plugged in or on battery power. Luckily, Amazon accepted it as defective, and refunded me my total purchase price. That's why I but a lot of stuff from Amazon, they're fair and honest with returns. I'd be afraid to buy another one, and find out that the weak performance is due to poor design and a weak motor.
 Too bad this vac doesn't suck... September 11, 2008
The suction is miserable on this vacuum. The build quality is typical DeWalt and the battery option is nice, but for $100 it should suck more. Really.
 Overall good, could use more power July 10, 2008

This is NOT a full-blown shop vac. If you're looking for that kind of power, you're going to be disappointed. It has more power than other portable vacs, much more than a dustbuster type vac.
For light vacuuming around the shop or for portable use, like in the car, this vacuum works well. I like the fact that you can plug it in when you have a job that would take too long for the batteries to last. Overall, it's a good portable vacuum, although it's a little expensive for what it is.
 Powerful, convenient May 26, 2008
This has become a must-have tool for me. It is powerful and easy to carry. I did not think it would be this good when I bought it, and I cannot understand anyone not thinking it is great. Now, it does not come with a battery or charger, and may not be worthwhile if one needs to also buy those, but for those of us who already have the battery, this is a very handy tool. In fact, I think it is a good buy even if you need to buy the battery and charger (available cheap on Ebay or Amazon). Cheers.
