DEWALT STEALTHSONIC 5 Gallon Ultra Quiet Wet Dry Shop Vac DXV05P-QT | 4 Peak HP Powerful Suction, Quiet Operation, Long-Lasting Performance, Complete Accessory Kit for Garage, Workshop, Jobsite
Best for
Best for garages, workshops, or home offices where low noise is a top priority, but skip it if you need a blower or expect heavy suction for large debris.
What buyers say
Most owners agree this shop vac delivers remarkably quiet operation for its class, with enough suction to handle typical garage and household debris. The main trade-off is that you give up blower functionality and some raw power for that low noise, and the wheel design can make maneuvering a chore when the cord gets caught.
Loved by buyers
- •Shockingly quiet, even quieter than many household vacuums, so you can clean without hearing protection or disturbing others.
- •HEPA filter and compatible disposable bags keep fine dust and allergens from puffing out when you empty it.
- •Compact 5-gallon size and strong enough pickup for sawdust, ashes, and car litter, making it a practical everyday shop vac.
Buyer concerns
- •The wheels consistently snag on the power cord, forcing you to stop and free it during use.
- •No exhaust port means you cannot use it as a blower, a feature common on other shop vacs.
- •Suction is adequate for fine debris but not built for heavy-duty tasks like large wood chips or sump pumping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work as a blower?+
No. Unlike many shop vacs, this model has no exhaust port to attach a hose for blowing leaves or dust. The exhaust air is routed through internal baffles to reduce noise.
Can it handle wet messes?+
Yes, it is a wet/dry vac. It can pick up water and damp debris, but do not expect it to act as a sump pump for deep standing water.
Is it good for car interiors?+
The included crevice tool and compact size make it a practical pick for vehicle cleanup, reaching between seats and into footwells without a struggle.
How do I stop the wheels from catching the power cord?+
This is a known design flaw. Some owners try routing the cord away from the vac’s path, but there is no built-in fix, so expect to untangle it occasionally.
