Exactly the review I needed to see. I've done that exact demo clean up many times in my career. Now I just want something 20v max with plenty of power to clean up my vehicles and around the house projects. This bad boy is perfect for my needs😎 Thanks for your professional opinion!
I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ru-vid.comUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
I've been waiting for this to come out even emailed Dewalt. Seeing I have 20+ batteries for work and in season perfect for around the fireplaces and wood stoves. Doubt it will be destroyed by the wife and son like the others I've had. Excellent thank you for the review.
I like mine pretty well except some stuff clogs it up easily. The nozzle is only 1 inch inner diameter. The rubber flap valve at the entrance to the dust tank clogs instantly when vacuuming wood chips around the wood stove. I might try cutting that flap out.
Nice…thanks! Since we have like 50 DeWalt batteries for various tools… thought I might buy one of these to use inside my home for those times I need a quick picker-upper so I don’t have to pull out my annoying, clumsy canister vac. Just might be the ticket…easy to hide in a closet or cabinet, too!
Wood chips, leaves pine needles etc. clogs this thing immediately. The intake is only 1 inch inner diameter and there's tight clearance between the inlet and the filter. Anything bigger than about a half inch jams between the inlet and filter. The vacuum power is underwhelming. The dust bin holds about a pint but the filter will clog long before it's full. Calling it a work site vacuum is a stretch but it's handy & convenient for small (very small) jobs around the house. 2 stars out of 5.
Yeah buddy! Straight to the cart with this one, thanks for the link. I have a few door jambs and casings to sand, gonna make in not quite as fun as fishing, lol.
There are some downsides. First, it quickly it draws down a 2ah or 4ah battery; I recommend a 6ah one. Suction power is barely adequate, and noticeably lacking when using the flex nozzle, which knocks down the flow volume. Generally, in every single situation you'll find the power to be less than what you would desire it to be; a brute it is not. In a gambit to crate a vortex to keep the filter from clogging, there is something of a venturi at the juncture with the dust cup which creates a choke point in which damp dirt of larger debris can lodge itself. The debris cup should be a little larger. In all, it's good, not great. I'm returning mine, partialy because the round bristle tool was missing from the box when I bought it.
I’m so sick of tripping over the cord and hose of my shop vac to pick up a tiny bit of dust from a customers home. Plus half the time in older apartments it’s never easy to find a free outlet to use. This looks like the perfect solution. Looks like it’s a bit more useful than the dcv517 with the attachments.
For the uses you are putting it through, a foam filter sock would provide longer run times between washing the hepa filters. Aftermarket ones are easily available from online retailers.
Man that looks perfect for cleaning ceiling fan blades. You can use one hand to hold the blade and the other to vacuum with the vacuum attached to your waist.
Have you received yours? If so, what’s the verdict?? I’m currently split as I’ve seen mixed reviews across multiple platforms regarding this particular vacuum. Thx in advance!
Only just came across this. Thanks for the review. On a purely suction power level, how does it compare to the wet/dry model that you showed? Thank you.
Wish it worked like the Dyson handheld cordless vacs where I can dump the contents without splitting it into multiple pieces. Does it support that DeWALT AirLock or whatever they call it or do I still need an adapter to use it as a dust extractor with my DeWALT DCS438? Didn’t see any mention of DeWALT’s proprietary vacuum connector but it seems kinda silly to market a dust extractor function without that.
@@LandbergTileTV How did you get it to attach to your skilsaw/circsaw and/or the 3-in cutoff tool (in your other videos)? I just bought this vacuum specifically for use in dust extraction with DeWalt products (sander, router, etc), and I can't seem to find any that fit. I even spoke with DeWalt and they said that this vacuum isn't compatible with any other products of theirs. Did you duct tape it on or something?
Do you use the man shaver first or do you like the added cushion from the Bush and its gobbles your gollox or is there a lite setting I mean we only want it to extra the cream only not the jam.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS! 1) whats the diameter of the flexible black hose? 2) does the end of the flexible black hose with the slanted opening come off somehow - for example by unscrewing it? need to know because I want to screw the flexible black hose into the Dewalt adapter, which has grooves made to fit a 35 mm hose (hence question #1). 3) whats the connection like between flexible black hose and the stiff plastic from the vacuum itself - does the diameter of the flexible hose end-piece narrow towards the flexible hose, so the stiff plastic bit can be pushed in for them to sit very snugly? worried that they might come apart if theres drag on the piece attached to the actual vacuum. THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY!!!
Where can you get this bad boy @? I’ve never ran into one b4 & I be always shopping for Dewalt tools I use .. Thanks .. Or does this come out in a future date ? I’m in Dallas Texas
Its a neat looking model I may add to my online store. I'm on E Crater under the defleppard11 handle as well as Bonanza the same handle. Say BTW. They look like standard 1 1/4" attachments, yes? I'm also thinking about pairing it up in my store with a batt powered Electrolux power nozzle for to use inside on carpets
I had the 517. I just gave it to my kid, and since I don't really need the wet vac functionality, I replaced it with one of these. Order is in. Quick question: My 517 had a QUIRK. It worked with all of my batteries EXCEPT for my power stacks. No idea why, but it would not power on with the power stacks. Does this one have the same issue?
Cleaning? This is a major question as far as I am concerned? Filter (without cyclon tech) must become a clogged mess fast, and cleaning it is a dirty job. Am I wrong?
only just seen your comment about the henry hoover, dose the longer pipe off the henry fit the main body of the dewalt,cos thats my only concern about buying this. mostly hard wood floors in my house you see.
silly question. would this work for a car vacuum and in the home for quick toddler spot-cleaning? Or is there something else better for those as the primary application? (i have full Dewalt line/batteries already)
have you attempted to connect the hand held vacuum to the dewalt 3 inch cut off tool? i know the cut off tool has that airlock system on the hose, but wondering if it still could connect? and in your opinion, could the cut off tool cut thru tile and cement board at the same time (like removing existing tile walls) and making those cuts in wall before prying off those sections with a pry bar?
No I have not, but that's a good question regarding the airlock system. I don't think the cut off tool has enough power to cut through tile and hardi. I would go grinder.
thanks buddy. yes been using a grinder for years but connected to a vacuum kind of sucks, just bulky , so i wind up holding a sponge to the blade instead, but thats a little messy. wasnt sure if the cut off tool would work, does look underpowered for this type of work, but i would be neat if it did and connected to a small hose vacuum on your back ,like that dewalt one would be kind of cool.
Hello, good day. Im just curious if it is advisable to use a flexvolt battery on non-Flexvolt tools? I saw a video and read a review that said if you use a Flexvolt battery on a non-flexvolt Tool it will burn the motor fast.
Is that electric tape to connect the hose with the circular saw ? I'm very annoyed by this, the hose and tool connections from the same brand don't match. I bought the DWV9000 adaptor and still doesn't fit the hose
@@LandbergTileTV Thanks for the reply ! I just found out that one of the accessories that come with the vaccum can be used as an adaptor for the tools. It's the small round one with the hairs, remove the hairs and it fits quite well on the dewalt tools.
@@LandbergTileTV do you mean using it to extract water/dirt (wet/damp) in cloth seating? (i.e. that has been washed with dewalt drill with brush bits to get deep stains?) Or do you think this would be better for washing seats/rugs: DEWALT 20V MAX Hand Vacuum, Cordless, For Wet or Dry Surfaces, 1/2-Gallon Tank, Washable Filter, Portable, Bare Tool Only (DCV517B) $99??
