 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.
Great functionality if you buy the accessories May 17, 2008
The vacuum works very well, surprisingly powerful even on the battery. I bought an accessory kit that doubles the utility of the vacuum. Got the extension tubes and floor brush, so now it works great for a quick sweep of the floor.
Good vac if you remember why you bought it... May 12, 2008
I have had this vac for almost a year now and really like it a lot. Most of the complaints I have read seem like user error or trying to do something it was not designed for. I use mine on the job quite a bit and don't have many complaints at all. If you are going to use a battery, PLEASE, use an 18v. I have gotten 15-20 minutes on average with a good and fully charged battery. Make sure your filter is clean. The filter is a very fine filter and catches a lot of very fine dust and WILL clog on a short amount of time, especially with concrete and drywall dust. Buy an extra filter so you can rinse one out and let it dry while you use the other. I don't understand the comment about this vac having less suction than a "dust buster". May you had the hose hooked up to the wrong end of the vac, I don't know. I know that I have good results as long as you do as I listed. Even if you use the cord, CLEAN YOUR FILTER OFTEN. That should be a rule of thumb for any vacuum if you want to get the most out of it. The cord is short, but I think DeWalt did this so that you have the cord option but don't have so much cord that it becomes cumbersome. If you use it as intended, you will be satisfied with this vac.
Decent vacuum, little too high-priced April 12, 2008
We've been using these at work for about 6 years now with good results and few problems (one bad circuit board). We almost always run them off 18v batteries, and they run about 20 min to a charge. They are not a shop vac in my opinion - they are a battery powered vacuum for shop use. It has decent suction, but nothing like the other regular shop vacs we use. Good for light - medium duty projects. The only issues I have is the crevice tool doesn't fit on the hose real snug and is prone to fall of during constant use, and the design of the hose itself drives me up the wall as it is always pinching my forearms while it is extending and collapsing. All in all a good product, just a little bit high-priced for what you get. But hey, that's DeWalt for you.
 good, but not strong. March 28, 2008
Pros- has a real filter
good size
works on batteries
solidly built
Cons-
suction is not all that much
cord a bit short
can't tell if there is a battery inside W/O opening it up
I had a Shop Vac 1x1 for a few years and used it almost every day that little tiny vac had some serious power. But it had a cheesy piece of paper as a filter. it could come off and blow dust around. So I got this. It does not have the power of the much smaller vac. but it will pick up most stuff and is reasonably powerful, but not great.
