What buyers say
This compact vac wins fans with its easy portability and strong suction for its size. The trade-off: expect a loud motor and an emptying routine that takes some getting used to.
Loved by buyers
- •Compact design with smart onboard storage keeps the hose, cord, and tools out of the way, making it easy to grab and stash on a shelf.
- •Powerful enough for sawdust, debris, and small liquid spills, plus it switches to blower mode for leaves.
- •Sturdy enough to survive drops on concrete, with a long 20-foot cord and flexible hose that reach far.
Buyer concerns
- •It's loud, so plan on ear protection for extended use.
- •Cord wrap hooks sit low, forcing you to lift the vac to wrap the cord; emptying the bin can be messy and the lid doesn't always seat easily.
- •Without a bag, fine dust clogs the filter quickly, killing suction after only light use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it manage fine dust like drywall or sawdust without clogging?+
Yes, but you must use a collection bag and consider a HEPA filter; otherwise the filter clogs fast and suction drops.
Is there a HEPA filter available?+
Yes, DeWalt offers a compatible HEPA cartridge filter for catching finer particles, useful when sanding or dealing with toxic dust.
How long is the power cord?+
The cord is 20 feet long, which most owners say reaches across a standard two-car garage without an extension.
Can it vacuum car interiors effectively?+
It handles hard surfaces and loose debris well, but one reviewer noted it struggles on carpets, so manage expectations for plush car mats.
