Free battery for this Dewalt vacuum pump?
The ''B'' in the model #DCV517B stands for BARE=No Battery No Charger which explains the lower price. Such a deal if you can find it new with the accessories for this price!

Small Vacuum Big Performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small vacuum cleaners are usually not that great. This one is different. It went from being used to clean up saw dust from wood working, to now cleaning up everything in the house. It never gets put away, it is always handy and ready to use. The power is solid and strong, the removable hose is a great. I only have one gripe, and it's a nit pick. I don't like where the on/off switch is as I've accidentally turned it off while holding it a couple times. I kind of wish it was a bit bigger, but that would take away from the ease of use. It's light weight, powerful and very effective. So much so I don't use my bigger vacuums that much anymore.

This thing has some juice!
Bought this mainly for quick cleanup of my miter saw dust at the end of the day, after sanding windows and wood, and small miscellaneous tasks. But after being on the job with it and seeing bigger mess need to be cleaned up I was like hey let’s try this little vac. And it progressively kept going that way. This vacuum is a tank on its own. I put my 6ah 20v battery on it and it just runs all day (not straight through), but being on a job site for 8hours and using it here and there time adds up. Needless to say I’d recommend this to anyone because of the ease of use and convenience this tool has to offer instead of hauling around a big sho vac and having to plug it in when you are tired at the end of the day.

Not up to Dewalt's usual standard
After a few months of use, I'm dissapointed in the quality and performace of the vacuum. It lacks suction power and worst of all, the hose pulls out of the unit. It's glued in but not enough so that it does not come out. Another concern is the hard plastic nozzle. You have to be careful on wood floors or fabric. A soft brush attachment would eliminate this problem. For the price, this Dewalt product misses the mark.

Actual water use disabled vacuum
This was a great product to quick clean ups. My wife used it for house hold cleaning instead of the hand held vacuums made for homes. However when an aquarium broke on us during our recent move, the vacuum shorted out during our clean up of the water and never recovered. It was the very first time we used it for water.

Like it but not worth the money.
The Product is great, Great idea too. but the only draw back is that it doesn't have enough suction & The hose doesn't turn to much. but other than that, i give it a 3/5 because it only picks crumbs,
Great quality product though, made with premium materials. Not to heavy not too light

Almost Perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the 'B' version (no battery or charger) since I have an array 20V Max tools. For the size the suction is good, the bin is easy to dump, but there are several design items that could have made this a much better product.
* It needs hooks for a shoulder strap. It is small enough, and with the flexible hose if it had a strap that would free one's two hands to make clean up jobs easier.
* The power switch needs to be in a better location. Too many times I am working in a tight space while holding it, and inadvertently bump the switch and turn it off.
* It needs some missing accessories: 1-Since the hose comes off with a bayonet attachment it would be great to have the option of a longer hose. 2-The longer hose could have a 90 deg end to allow other attachments such as brushes. 3-I use this for computer service, and a small narrow soft brush would go a long way to helping me. 4-It needs a snap on dust brush for the business end.
So basically it is a great little vac, but it sorely needs some add-ons to make it a smash hit.
That's my take.

Dewalt Handheld ShopVac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use to clean inside the garage and workbench. Then when it rained and our sunroom flooded. It worked better than a mop to suck the water up, and it only takes one latch in the rear of it to release the Catch Container.

Love DeWalt Vac's
Received this vac as a Christmas gift 2017. Great vac, my second cordless DeWalt vac (other is the 2 gallon unit). This unit is great for small and quick jobs (car, garage, work shop etc..). Great for sawdust pickup, just set on floor, turn on and sweep sawdust to pickup nozzle. Lite weight, I can use all of my 20V batteries. This vac will get a lot of use.
Thanks DeWalt!
