It does a good job but I would have preferred to have bought the Rigid brand which typically comes with more attachments without having to shell out more for them.

Strong suction, fairly portable. Made of thick sturdy plastic, it’s a little heavier than I anticipated, especially after it starts to fill up, so rather than carrying it as I vac I move it from area to area and set it down. It clogged quickly when I vacuumed a pile of twigs but the blockage was very easy to clear and was the only clog during an extensive test run – a far cry from the Shark vacuum I had that clogged often and was a nightmare to unclog.It sucked up scattered kitty litter like a champ – again something the Shark did poorly.It would be nice if the liner bags held more dirt, but they’re adequate and the unit can be used without them, although the unit will no doubt last longer if they are used.If it lasts as long as my DeWalt sawz-all I’ll be very happy.

I’m not a “Dewalt Guy”. I think a lot of name brands produce quality tools in different areas. My shop has all the colors. But, I’ve had success with Dewalt vacs in the past and this one doesn’t disappoint. Long cord, lightweight and contained storage of attachments are definite pluses.

The DeWALT DXV04T is a nice sized portable vacuum mad of sturdy plastic and holds 4 gallons of material (wet or dry) and has a powerful 5 HP motor. It reminds me of a toolbox and the rectangular shape with fold down handle will be easy to store. Other nice design features are the double acting lid latches and the lid has a foam gasket to provide a good seal which helps provide great suction. The vacuum also includes locations to store the hose and accessories. The long super flexible hose can also be conveniently stored in the upper section. There are 2 sets of clips that hold the rigid pipes conveniently on the side of the tub which can provide extra reach when needed. The suction hose also has a latch on the end to prevent the hose from pulling out unintentionally. The vacuum can utilize a paper collection bag connected inside to provide higher filtration that the standard foam filter installed on the motor intake. The suction was great. I was also impressed on how quiet the vacuum was. I made some noise level measurement with an Android smartphone using the AudioTool v7.6. The phone was not calibrated against any standard but the relative numbers would still indicate differences. The measurements were taken 1 foot away from the center of the motor housing. One reading with the hose attached and the suction end in open air, the other reading with the end of the hose blanked off with the palm of my hand. The reading is in dB , higher numbers indicate higher sound pressure and the average frequency is also given.

Something that impressed me is the DeWALT is quieter than the Dyson which has only been used a few times. I even repeated the measurement to ensure confidence. A negative comment is; The vacuum is a little heavy to hold for long periods. It does not include any casters to pull along as you move about. The manual page 6, step 2 says to “Attach Heavy-duty rubberized casters” but none are included and there is no indication of where they would be installed if they were in the box. I think the original design must have included casters but somewhere along the way they were dropped and the manual was not edited. I built a small plywood platform with wheels and use 1/8” elastic shock cord to provide easy fastening. !/4”elastic cord would work better but I didn’t have any. I would still recommend this product even given this oversight of casters,

What a fantastic vacuum!!! DeWalt has done it again with superb engineering. This baby is replacing 3 other shop vacs. Two 2 1/2 gallon and a 5 gallon brand name. This DeWalt fits under my bench shelf where neither of my 2 1/2 gallon ones would. AND it is really powerful. They designed a closed storage compartment for attachments and good solid holders for the wands. There is an open compartment on the one end that will hold the entire hose and a cord winding bracket that is actually large enough to hold the entire cord. PLUS, they provided the capability to use a disposable dust bag for that really fine nasty dust so you can protect your lungs and it makes it so easy to remove and throw away. You can use vac without the dust bag also. The only thing I miss a little is the option for wheels but all the positives make up for that. Vacuum in good health my friend!

There is plenty to like about this vacuum. Number one (and two) is the size and shape. You can easily stack it or put it on a shelf. We’ve all lugged around CP30 shaped vacuums. Every time I use one, I‘m thinking, “Do I really want to lug that thing out?” This vacuum wasn’t out of the box 5 minutes when my wife grabbed it to vacuum out her car. She liked it so much she then vacuumed out my truck. The tool storage is handy and actually works. The 20 foot cord is also handy. You’d think with a 20 foot vacuum cord, that there wouldn’t be sufficient storage for it, but you’d be wrong. On day one with my new vacuum, I accidentally spilled some PVC glue into my kitchen sink that was about ¼ full of water. I didn’t want to send that glue down the drain, so I quickly sucked it up and tossed it outside. This thing feels very solid and it’s a Dewalt!

This is a great compact shop vac. Used it to clean up the floor boards in my Nissan pickup. Plenty of reach on the hose and plenty of suction for picking up the dirt, china berries, leaves and twigs from the floor mats and under the front edge of the seat. It is light weight and has a nice long cord to reach from the front of my garage to driveway. The hose is a little on the striff side, but the attachment tools are nice and work well. Since it is a carry around type, this should be good for the garage and the house!

This wet/dry vac is a nice size, not too big, not too small. The best feature is that all the parts and accessories can be fit on board the vac for carrying to where it is needed. There’s a compartment for the hose, a compartment with a door for the floor attachment and crevice tool where they snap into slots. A set of hooks where the cord can be wrapped when stored which also aids in keeping the hose in its compartment. Two extension pipes snap onto brackets on the side to complete the all-in-one features. It has a heavy-duty 20 foot power cord. It delivers good suction and if it’s cared for should keep on working well for many years. There is a large almost oversize on/off switch prominently located on top that is a nice feature. I checked and the hose seems to be standard as the one from my 30 gallon vac snaps right on there. It’s size makes it easy to transport for professionals to take to job sites. Good vac for a mobile auto detail service. I like DeWalt tools. I own several already and they are some of my favorite go-to tools.

Very nice powerful vacuum. Probably approaching max size for a carry-around design, but much more powerful than the old 2 gallon Dewalt that I had previously. My old version allowed for battery operation which was nice, but, frankly I never really used it. My advice would be if you don’t absolutely need battery power for remote use, skip it and get this model. Way more powerful and still portable enough to carry. It’s very well made and sturdy.

Great vacuum with place for everything to put away. Suction is great, long cord, and long hose. Only thing that kept it from 5 stars is it could use wheels

Wow can’t say enough about this wet and dry vac. It is very powerful. This beats my old vacuum apart. I really like the size and it is easy to store in my shop. Any DeWalt products have always been good for me. I highly recommend it. Not that heavy so it’s easy to move around. Haven’t used it on wet yet but love the vacuum part of it. My son used it the other day and now he wants one.
