 Amazon.com Product Description: A wet/dry shop vacuum is great, but they can be unwieldy, cumbersome and hard to haul around. DEWALT's combined the cleanup power of a wet/dry with the convenience of a cordless vac and come up with this innovative machine. It's powered by the same heavy-duty 18-volt battery that runs your drills and other cordless tools, so you know it's got oomph, but it's light and super-portable, making it easy to clean up just about anywhere you're short on space or electricity. We like the flexibility to use either the utility nozzle for floor spills and messes, but the 5-foot rubber hose comes in really handy for cabinet installers, who can set the unit on the countertop and clean out all the shavings and sawdust from new cabinets, even on the top shelves, using the hose. It picks up extremely well on both wet and dry material, though the tank is just half a gallon and so fills up fairly fast. But to that end, the tank removes and empties so easily that it wasn't an issue for us. The filter is a breeze to rinse clean, too. A downside? It's loud. But what shop vacuum isn't? We're pretty impressed with this little unit for its convenience and big power. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste What's in the Box: Vacuum, battery, charger, filter and manual Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-07-07 great little vac It's the best little vac I've used.
I sorta get people's issue with the high pitch noise, but to me , it isn't loud...my bigger shop vacs are FAR louder.
But your 3 x the distance from them, so I guess it just seems louder to others.. I don't find a problem with the noise.
PROS....
Easy to get the trash tray off and dump it.
Uses a REAL filter... the type that works best and more efficiently on full size shop vacs.
Picks up all sorts of stuff easily.
I have other 18v dewalt tools, so a no brainer addition for me.
But my wife loves it for spot clean ups in the kitchen and bathrooms.
CONS:
I wish the charger had provisions for wall mounting as well as some sort of wall mount for the vac.. that would make it soo much easier for general use around the house.
Rating:  Date: 2008-06-29 Spot on I have been using the vac for 2 years now. It performs on a daily basis for up to 20 people 7 days a week. At work we have almost every 18 volt cordless tool DeWalt puts out. I have been so impressed I bought the 9-tool bags a couple months back for my personal use. Anything that can last so long with the crew I am on has to be tough! And the performance of each tool has always been up to par with any of our corded tools, which are falling by the wayside, collecting dust. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-28 DeWalt cordless vacuum Dewalt DC515K cordless Vacuum. DEWALT DC515K Heavy Duty 1/2 Gallon 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Wet/Dry VacuumThis is a great tool. First it has much more power than a dust buster. This vac has the same power as the larger DeWalt, but much more compact. I liked it so much I took it to work, showed my boss and we bought two at work. I do maintenance work, and have it with me on my tool cart. I use it every day at least once. Amazon was $40-50 cheaper than anywhere else I could find it and it was free shipping too. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-22 Best Battery Vac ever Very powerful, easy to use, and inexpensive. Some reviewers have said that this unit is loud. It is no louder than a regular shop vac. Perhaps it is a little higher pitched, which makes it more annoying than a regular vac. Great suction power (don't expect the same power as a corded unit). I use it regularly to cleanup after my jobs (I am a service plumber). So it works great on wet and dry pickup. The detachable hose is very nice for getting into tight spots. You are not going to find a better vac with all the features of this one. The price is unbeatable. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-13 Works great on dusty jobs This was purchased for my husband last year. I've been using it for vacuuming up thick dust in my chicken coop. It works great at picking up dust, wood chips and anything really small. It's also light and easy to carry. The battery life is fairly good, as well. I also liked that the container was easy to take on and off.
The few things I don't care for about this vacuum? The small size of the holding area for one. It's so small that if you have a large project you'll have to dump out the dust quite a bit. Yes, it's very noisy as well. It's for picking up small things only, I wish it would pick up more than dust, but it's mainly a dust vac.
Overall, a good deal. I'd purchase again. |
