  • DeWALT Handheld Portable Vacuum
Color: Black/Yellow
The handheld DeWALT portable vacuum is lightweight and incredibly comfortable to carry/use. Light enough and easy to use for kids too! It has a small compartment for waste and is easy to remove and clean. We use the handheld vacuum for indoor carpeted stairs and furniture as well as for cleaning the interior of our vehicles. It requires a rechargeable DeWALT battery, which is not included in the purchase, but we have several due to the multiple DeWALT tools we own. The convenience of not having a cord is super valuable and the vacuum has an extension in order to get in corners, reach between cushions, and under seats. The quality is outstanding and durable which is what we expect from our DeWALT tools. It should not be used for picking up any fluid spills. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • An Unbiased Review From A Tool Guy
Color: Black/Yellow
I'm an old tool guy and I own a few Dewalt 20v cordless tools, and I have owned and own other brands as well. I've also owned several cordless hand vacs including recently the Shark and Dustbuster. I've been putting this Dewalt hand vac through its paces for the last five days and this is what I've come up with. First, I'd like to address some of the negative comments such as it being loud, or heavy. I really hadnt noticed it being any louder than any other ones that I've owned. It might be slightly, but its a more powerful vac with larger motor and 20 volts compared to 7.2 volts that most other hand vacs are rated at. You definitely wont be needing to use earplugs as someone suggested in their review...LOL. So when I first turned mine on after getting it, I was expecting something really loud, it wasnt, I just busted out laughing. As far as some saying its heavy. Yes it is a little heavier (maybe a few ounces), but please keep this in mind. Most of the other cordless hand vacs on the market are only 7.2 volts battery packs, including the two other ones that I mentioned. This runs on a 20 volt power pack thats more than twice the power of the others, so its going to be a little heavier, it has a larger capacity power pack. But, the trade off for those extra few ounces is that you get a much better performing vac, more powerful suction and much longer run times in between charges. Another reviewer mentioned the small debris canister, well its a half gallon capacity, (which is large for a cordless portable hand vac), much larger than most of the other cordless hand vacs on the market. Any larger than that, you might as well use a full size vacuum cleaner, its a portable cordless hand vac, not designed to vacuum a whole house. I've vacuumed my 4 door GMC truck, my Jeep Wrangler YJ, my wifes Mazda CX5, and my workbench work area without needing to empty the canister. Oh, and heres the one that really got me laughing once I tested mine. A couple of people said that the side exhaust vents blows the debris all over the place before you can vacuum them up. Well the vents shoot straight out of the side of the machine horizontally, not downward as one said. The only way the vent would blow the debris around is if you hold the vac sideways on its side (pointing the side vent downward). If you do that, the nozzle is then vertical and not going to vacuum very well due to the horizontal design of the nozzle. So those results would have been from user error. Another reviewer mentioned that the on/off switch is difficult to use. Well, if you'll notice in my 3rd photo, I have four fingers and a thumb grasp around the handle, so you just move one of your four fingers a half inch and flip the switch, its really that simple. If this 61 year old guy with arthritis can easily do it, I'm sure anyone else can too. So, for me its been the best performing cordless hand vac that I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few over the decades. I highly recommend, it will be the last cordless hand vac that you'll ever need. ... show more

  • This vacuum SUCKS
Color: Black/Yellow
Yes, this vacuum sucks, as a vacuum should, and does so very well. Strong vacuum, small, compact, durable, extendable arm, wet vac, and runs in standard Dewalt batteries. Love it!

  • Works Great For Car Interior Care
Color: Black/Yellow
Good suction. Well balanced. Needs attachments to work best on car floor mats with deep grooves such as WeatherTech. Good trade off between suction and size. With the standard molded nozzle it doesn't work well on floor mats with grooves. With an attachment set, it works like a champ. I have found the attachment set that includes a spare hose, a brush with the long fibers and the crevasse tool makes this a really good shop vac. Uses very little battery life to clean out a car. If you have a supply of DeWalt 20v batteries, you are in business. I purchased the attachment set that is specific to the DeWalt Hand Vacuum. I haven't tried using it on wet surfaces but it works well on dry surfaces. Opening up the tank to dump dirt is convenient. The size and balance are good. If it were much larger, it would be hard to handle and if much smaller, the motor would likely provide less suction. I keep it in my garage and use it at least once a week on the cars and small cleanups in the garage and my shop. ... show more

  • So far after a day, SUPER IMPRESSED
Color: Black/Yellow
This works great around my computer desk. Harley FatBoy, my Ginger cat, hates the sound but he hates ALL Vacuums. Suction is great. I've got a bunch of 1 1/4" attachments I can use, and I also have some mini attachmentsfor keyboard cleaning and for laptops, and this saves a lot on canned air spray as well! Also, several months back I also purchased another Dewalt vacuum from Amazon that I've been using around the house for larger cleanups, I only made one slight mod the the larger Dewalt vacuum. I jigged a piece of maple plywood to fit the bottom, added some casters, and used 2" Velcro on the bottom of the vacuum and top of the caster unit, and makes it very portable to roll instead of carry. But Back to the Dewalt Handheld it fits that perfect niche for computer room, computer desk, and PC cleanups, You can't go wrong purchasing this Dewalt product! ... show more

This little vacuum works very well! Battery lasts pretty good. It is great for picking up crumbs, cat hair and small areas. Especially the hose attachment works awesome to get in small areas!

This is the best hand vacuum you can buy! Especially if you already have Dewalt products and do not need a charger system. Very powerful and lasts for a long time!
