Review on πŸ”‹ DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum: Powerful and Portable Wet/Dry Cleaning Solution (DCV517B) by Juan White

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Filter and dirt bucket are easy to remove

Slightly disappointing compared to other Dewalt cordless picks I've bought. Pros: Uses the same 20V battery as other Dewalt tools. Area where the front nozzle does not fit. Filter and waste bin are easy to remove, empty and clean. Smaller Dewalt batteries can be used if only 20v is used elsewhere and you just need a quick clean. Cons: The on/off switch location under the handle is awful and hard to reach. The fan in the engine blows air forward from the side vents, which often affects what you're trying to suck. The weight distribution is odd and appears unbalanced. It's also heavy for such a compact device (with a battery). Wish list: I wish it had a thinner attachment that attaches to the free end of the hoe for tighter spaces (or even telescoping). Likewise, I wish there was a bristle brush. Fastening for the hose end in the loose state. In general everything is fine. The suction power is a bit weak. Knowing what I know about it now, I probably wouldn't buy this device again. That's odd, because Dewalt's 20-volt blower is a gem of a tool and has way more airflow (even if it's moving the other way!).

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
