DEWALT9 Gallon Wet/Dry VAC, Heavy-Duty Shop Vacuum with Attachments, 5 Peak HP, with Blower Function, DXV09PA

I can't stop raving about this shop vac ever since it arrived. Everything about it is SO NIFTY. You can fit all of the attachments and spare bags in this little carrier in the back, and wheels pop on for easier maneuvering.I bought it because I have a monitor lizard in a large enclosure and I need to change the substrate once a month. My $900 Dyson Airblade choked and had to be repeatedly shaken to function again after it sucked up maybe a cubic inch of this mix of coconut fiber and orchid bark, so I got a hand vac that worked fine for suction, but had to be constantly emptied and I kept murdering my back trying to maneuver it in there while my lizard grew cold and impatient. When all the vacuums fail, I have to manually scoop all that substrate out. Which sucks, and not in the good effective way.Now I'm wondering where the Dewalt shop vac was my whole life!No more backaches! No more manually scooping gross substrate with a coffee scoop and still not quite getting all of it! No more constantly emptying a tiny reservoir not designed to suck up wood chips, dead bugs, and clods of lizard poop! It sucks like it's trying to grab my attention on Redtube!It got the job done in barely 10 minutes. I just used the hose and one of the hard extensions, no nozzle attachment, and it grabbed everything in its path so I could lay down nice clean substrate. 9 gallons is the perfect size for 1-2 rock and water monitor enclosures without having to change the bag too often, if Dewalt makes larger capacities I'd recommend those if you're a reptile breeder or keep far more reptiles than I do.My only complaint is that since it's corded, it doesn't go very far even with an extension cord. Maneuvering is a little awkward as a result. But that is some AMAZING suction, I even started using it with the wide floor-brush attachment as a regular vacuum! Sucks up so much dust, I won't have allergy symptoms for months!VERY good value for the money given how much I was gouged on that Dyson and it was only a little over twice what I paid for the hand vac.

5 stars all the way!!! This vacuum is better then the ones at car wash, alotta suction and the unit is very very durable i mean c mon its a dewalt, alotta diff suction heads to choose from to, i love this unit its not very heavy overall, id def recommend, good deal

I bought this to replace a smaller shopvac without wheels. I just use it around the house for odd projects. The size is perfect for me. I've only used it a couple of times (both times for dry pickup); worked great. I was pleased that this larger unit is a bit quieter than my old one; a nice surprise. It rolls around very well and the tool storage bag is great. I think I'm gonna wish it had a longer power cord; probably gonna have to use an extension to get around my whole garage. Overall build quality seems very good. I'm very glad I bought this model with the upgraded suction hose; seems very sturdy and worth a few extra $.

I have had this shop vac for a little over a year now. It's time to write a review. This is one of the best shop vacs I have had so far. I use it in the garage a lot for cleaning up saw dust for all the woodworking projects I do.The suction is fantastic.The blower is great.The wheels roll very smoothly.The parts bag works good.The amount of accessories that come with it are good.It is louder than some others.I do recommend getting filter bags because the filter does clog easily, which then blows the onboard breaker. The breaker will reset on its own after some time of sitting. The bag helps prevent this.

Outstanding shop vac with a dust collecting bag.

Works great so far except the filter mesh for wet vac use split after first use when sliding off to clean it.Pros: Well designed, click lock and easy release hose connector, rugged but flexible hose, plenty of attachments and the attachable convenient storage pouch with metal frame is much appreciated.Cons: I don’t recall any of my previous shop vac wet use screen filters having a noticeable (or any?) seam. This came with a poorly glued seam that came apart after one use when removing to wash with a hose (see pic). I hot glued and stapled it back together for now but need to contact support for a replacement.

Very satisfied with this product. It took quite a long time to arrive but the product’s features and functionality were worth the wait.

This is the BEST wet/dry vac I have ever used. The accessories bin is the HIGHEST Quality.
