Overview

A cartridge filter and a five gallon canister do the work in this DeWalt wet and dry shop vacuum, which rolls on four wheels and runs from a cord. It is silver, with one handle and touch controls.

Its strength is a quiet motor rating for a shop vac, with indoor and outdoor use covered. The limitation is that the listing publishes no airflow or suction figure.

Who it's for

Garages, workshops and light job site cleanup are the natural uses, including spills and dust. Anyone who needs cordless freedom, or a larger tank for heavy debris, should look at a different model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wet and dry use
  • Quiet noise level listed
  • Wheeled canister design
  • Accessory kit included
Cons
  • Suction rating not listed

Performance notes

A corded motor drives airflow through the cartridge filter, so filter condition decides how much suction reaches the nozzle. The wheeled canister lets you move it between jobs, and the tank size limits how long you work before emptying.
