Overview
DEWALT supplies this wet/dry vacuum with a HEPA filter, a hose and two nozzle tools in a canister body. It has two power levels, a touch control and handle, and is aimed at hard floors and the garage.
Two power levels and HEPA filtration suit indoor cleanup of dust and spills. The limitation is the contradictory power entries, since the listing says corded electric while also naming a battery and a sold-separately charger.
Who it's for
Cleanup of hard floors and bench areas indoors is the situation. Those wanting a clear cordless or corded answer, or a bundled battery, should check with the seller first.
Pros and cons
- HEPA filter included
- Two power levels
- Wide nozzle and crevice tool
- Portable canister body
- Power source entries conflict
- Battery and charger sold separately
- Weight entry looks wrong
Performance notes
The motor draws debris into the tank through the hose, and the HEPA filter traps fine dust. The two power levels let the user trade suction for run time or noise. Hose length sets how far the nozzle can reach from the canister.
