not worth the money [Posted on 2008-02-27]
The unit does not have much power and the cord is too short. Not worth the money! Could have purchased a small unit with more power @ less cost. Would not buy again.
Great Vaccum [Posted on 2008-03-25]
I Just Got one a few weeks ago and love it. I use my 14.4 battery from my drill and it last about 10 min . I have three boy's and use it on a daily bases at least once a day but usually more then that. Like one time the kid over ran the sink and I used it to clean up the water that was every were. If you have kids it is a must for them small mishaps. I am amazed at the suction it works great and I Love it!
good, but not strong. [Posted on 2008-03-28]
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.
Decent vacuum, little too high-priced [Posted on 2008-04-12]
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 vac if you remember why you bought it... [Posted on 2008-05-12]
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.
