DEWALT 4 Gal. Poly Wet/Dry Vac

It works perfectly. I like the rectangular shape and the size for my work vehicle.

Very nice powerful vacuum. Probably approaching max size for a carry-around design, but much more powerful than the old 2 gallon Dewalt that I had previously. My old version allowed for battery operation which was nice, but, frankly I never really used it. My advice would be if you don’t absolutely need battery power for remote use, skip it and get this model. Way more powerful and still portable enough to carry. It’s very well made and sturdy.

There is plenty to like about this vacuum. Number one (and two) is the size and shape. You can easily stack it or put it on a shelf. We’ve all lugged around CP30 shaped vacuums. Every time I use one, I”˜m thinking, “Do I really want to lug that thing out?” This vacuum wasn’t out of the box 5 minutes when my wife grabbed it to vacuum out her car. She liked it so much she then vacuumed out my truck. The tool storage is handy and actually works. The 20 foot cord is also handy. You’d think with a 20 foot vacuum cord, that there wouldn’t be sufficient storage for it, but you’d be wrong. On day one with my new vacuum, I accidentally spilled some PVC glue into my kitchen sink that was about ¼ full of water. I didn’t want to send that glue down the drain, so I quickly sucked it up and tossed it outside. This thing feels very solid and it’s a Dewalt!

This vac is great for cleaning out my car or taking on small projects around the house or at my workshop. The best part to me is that everything is easily stored on the unit. The accessories all store in the lid and there is a hose storage area on the side. I’ll be taking this vac with on trips and it will for sure make for a convenient vac around the garage. Since it’s DeWalt, I’m confident in the durability and quality, and know it will last.

Love it. Very powerful and gets the job done

This wet/dry vac is a nice size, not too big, not too small. The best feature is that all the parts and accessories can be fit on board the vac for carrying to where it is needed. There’s a compartment for the hose, a compartment with a door for the floor attachment and crevice tool where they snap into slots. A set of hooks where the cord can be wrapped when stored which also aids in keeping the hose in its compartment. Two extension pipes snap onto brackets on the side to complete the all-in-one features. It has a heavy-duty 20 foot power cord. It delivers good suction and if it’s cared for should keep on working well for many years. There is a large almost oversize on/off switch prominently located on top that is a nice feature. I checked and the hose seems to be standard as the one from my 30 gallon vac snaps right on there. It’s size makes it easy to transport for professionals to take to job sites. Good vac for a mobile auto detail service. I like DeWalt tools. I own several already and they are some of my favorite go-to tools.

This is a great-performing yet compact wet/dry vac with many thoughtful touches. The hose has a latch and can connect for either vacuum or blowing (though I didn’t see any obvious indicator on the case as to which was which.) If you disconnect the hose, it tucks in to a compartment on one end. Two accessories (a wet.dry pickup and a crevice tool) are provided, those go in a latch-covered compartment on the other end. The power cord is quite long and cord wraps are provided. The on-off switch is large and very visible, and there’s a handy carry handle.Inside there is a pleated paper filter you can remove, and DeWalt includes one filter bag (they’re sold in sets of three) that you can choose to use for dry pickup or not (probably a good idea for drywall dust.)Performance was excellent – it felt as strong as the 16-gallon Ridgid I normally use.

The DeWALT DXV04T is a nice sized portable vacuum mad of sturdy plastic and holds 4 gallons of material (wet or dry) and has a powerful 5 HP motor. It reminds me of a toolbox and the rectangular shape with fold down handle will be easy to store. Other nice design features are the double acting lid latches and the lid has a foam gasket to provide a good seal which helps provide great suction. The vacuum also includes locations to store the hose and accessories. The long super flexible hose can also be conveniently stored in the upper section. There are 2 sets of clips that hold the rigid pipes conveniently on the side of the tub which can provide extra reach when needed. The suction hose also has a latch on the end to prevent the hose from pulling out unintentionally. The vacuum can utilize a paper collection bag connected inside to provide higher filtration that the standard foam filter installed on the motor intake. The suction was great. I was also impressed on how quiet the vacuum was. I made some noise level measurement with an Android smartphone using the AudioTool v7.6. The phone was not calibrated against any standard but the relative numbers would still indicate differences. The measurements were taken 1 foot away from the center of the motor housing. One reading with the hose attached and the suction end in open air, the other reading with the end of the hose blanked off with the palm of my hand. The reading is in dB , higher numbers indicate higher sound pressure and the average frequency is also given.

Something that impressed me is the DeWALT is quieter than the Dyson which has only been used a few times. I even repeated the measurement to ensure confidence. A negative comment is; The vacuum is a little heavy to hold for long periods. It does not include any casters to pull along as you move about. The manual page 6, step 2 says to “Attach Heavy-duty rubberized casters” but none are included and there is no indication of where they would be installed if they were in the box. I think the original design must have included casters but somewhere along the way they were dropped and the manual was not edited. I built a small plywood platform with wheels and use 1/8″ elastic shock cord to provide easy fastening. !/4″elastic cord would work better but I didn’t have any. I would still recommend this product even given this oversight of casters,

Great Vacuum!! Does the job good.

Easy to use and works great
