 Handiest vac in my shop! December 26, 2008
This handy vac is the cat's pajamas around the shop. It picks up wet or dry material. Works off an 18volt battery that it shares among my various DeWalt tools.
I have a central vac system for the shop and it does leave peripheral sawdust. The DeWalt vac cleans it easily without having to detach hoses off my central system or drag a shop vac over. With a lot of power, the DeWalt vac cleans it up easily.
The hose detaches and fits my bench mounted pocket hole jig. It also fits my router table. Cleans up my router mess fast.
My experience with the DeWalt Company has been excellent. If you are need of any service, as I have a plethora of DeWalt tools, they are nothing short of first class!
 Have reasonable expectations... December 5, 2008
Let's face it, this is a gussied up version of the Dustbuster in your kitchen. You probably have a 14.4V handheld vac in your kitchen, this one is powered by 18V. That being the case I expected this unit to be a slight improvement over my Dustbuster in suction performance, and that's what it is.
So far I have been very happy with this vac, the portability is great, it has plenty of suction for the small jobs and it uses accessible and replaceable batteries. The 1/2 gallon canister is a nice upgrade over the a Dustbuster sized canister. The detachable flex hose is a great feature for getting in those hard to reach places.
The only reason I give this product four stars is the noise. Like others have said, it's quite loud. I don't think it's as loud as your typical shop-vac, but your shop-vac motor isn't typically with arm's length when you are using it. It's not a deal breaker, but it would've been nice if DeWalt would've tried to quiet this thing down.
Excellent handheld vac November 28, 2008
I just bought this on sale at Lowe's for $99. The battery and charger alone separately are over $100 so this struck me as a deal. This thing is like a dustbuster on steroids. I use it to pick up stray leaves and other garbage that finds it's way around the house, and it puts every other handheld vac to shame. It's not as light as your average handheld due to the big battery, but boy does it pick stuff up. Loud? Nah. Louder than a dustbuster but not unbearable, especially considering the job it does. I have big shop vacs also, but this one is just so handy for little jobs, and the battery also goes into the 2 gal Dewalt I have which is great for the car, boat, airplane, whatever. If you're looking for something handy and powerful for small jobs around the house, this is the gizmo. You won't regret it.
 MAJOR Disappointment November 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this vac to use outside when I don't want to drag out the big Shop-Vac. I especially wanted a cordless wet-vac I could use when I'm cleaning out my little fountain. I was hoping I could also use it to suck small wet leaves and stuff out of patio corners.
When it works, it does a good job on the fountain. But it's tempramental. The filter gets clogged easily, and (as others have said) it doesn't hold much liquid---so the fountain has to be almost TOTALLY empty before I even start. I could live with that, but it doesn't always work properly when I replace the tank after I've emptied it. Then I have to fool with it.
As for using it on leaves (even tiny ones and "crumbs"), forget it. The diameter of the hose is so small that practically EVERYTHING gets stuck in it, especially damp leaves. I like the feature of being able to remove the hose from the nozzle----and frankly that nozzle is such an awkward shape & size that I almost never use it anyway.
I expected better from DeWalt.
High Quality Hand-Held Vac September 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased the DeWalt vac to replace an older Dustbuster. The power of the DeWalt is considerably better. The hose function works well and is great for corners and tight areas. Many reviews raise concern about noise. Here is a comparison measured at 36 inches:
DeWalt cordless vac 87-90 dB
Black and Decker Dustbuster 80-82 dB
Porter Cable wet/dry shop vac 87 dB
Dirt Devil 84 dB
Simplicity home floor vacuum 80 dB
Hearing damage occurs at 90dB over time. Ear muffs for hearing protections store nicely on the handle of the DeWalt and, I believe, should be used. I do not find this to be particularly inconvenient. I own other DeWalt tools and have found them to be consistently high quality. This one is no exception.
