Light, portable, versatile, and powerful, DeWalt's new little vac is a great invention. We love that it's powered by a 12- to 18-volt battery, allowing for use when the power's off or you're too far from an outlet, and that you can also plug it in for continuous use. If you're a DeWalt fan, it's likely you already have the 12- to 18-volt batteries and the charger, so the fact that this is sold without those won't affect you. But that's a change we'd like to see DeWalt make. Other than that, it couldn't be better. The five-foot hose is flexible, and the cleaning tools fit on board. The suction's impressive, whether on AC or DC power. Unlike other wet-dry vacs, you don't have to change out the filter innards when switching from wet to dry, and we just love that. Just rinse it off to clean it. Its high-efficiency filter is listed at trapping 99.7 percent of dust, and in our book, less dust in the air is a good thing. When you're wet-vacuuming, just empty the tank through the drain port. It's light as a feather, super-portable, and plenty powerful.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 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.
GREAT TOOL May 24, 2008
I am an handyman & do a lot of different jobs. Most are in peoples homes. I carry a 6ga shop vac and this little one. most of the time i just take this little one in. it is quick and easy for small jobs.
