This was a gift for my friend, he still uses this to operate his public car wash on a daily basis. This collects all dust and debris, has a great storage space and is very noise friendly.I would reorder this, it is effective and affordable.

I was hesitant to purchase this due to the fact of less horsepower than our previous wet/dry shop vac. I was unable to match that one without going up in price significantly. So, after reading through LOTS of reviews of different brands, the reviews on this one consistently stated it had great suction. Shipping was a little slower than what I have come to expect from Amazon, but it beat the delivery time stated by a week. It was well packaged. There is a little assembly to the vacuum, made unnecessarily complicated by almost nonexistent directions and drawings/illustrations. You will do MUCH better if you eyeball the pieces and compare them with the picture on the front of the box. Assembling the on-board tool carrier is the "hardest" part--only because of the very little help the "directions" give. (Once you figure it out, it isn't hard at all!!!) Performance-wise, it has performed everything we've asked, and did it very well. Having a smaller diameter hose allows for better suction than you might think with less hp. The slimmer hose allows for better maneuverability, also. The on-board tool caddy is very nice. It's made of a very thick polyester/nylon (?) material which allows it to have "give" when you bump against a wall, furniture, etc. Comes with a nice assortment of tools. Really nice unit.... once you get through the initial duh moment of realization that someone at DeWalt doesn't know how to draw a simplified (stick-figure) drawing of how to fit the pieces together so you can put the screws in!

I have the old style DEWALT 18v 1/2 gallon, the newer 20v 2 gallon , the DWV-012 extractor, and finally the 10 gallon, DXV-10p. Aside from price i was really look for a smaller vacuum more for wet than dry, with bottom drain and quiet. I could not be more pleased with this vacuum.I think i paid $159 a couple of years ago for the 10 gallon vac, and typically dedicate that to HEPA filters and mostly drywall or other fine dust. The dust extractor is reserved for sawdust. I really feel like the 9 gallon is the perfect vacuum. It’s small enough to lug around one handed, but large enough to pick up a significant amount of liquid. Even better, if you have a big mess the outlet at the bottom allows easy discharge with a hose.My next biggest pet peeve with shop vacs is the noise. I had 10+ year old 16 gallon and 4 1/2 gallon shop vac that made me essentially deaf when it was running. All the DEWALT vacuums improve on those those older vacuums. This vacuum is perhaps the least annoying sound and perhaps the quietest - just my opinion.If i were only going to have one shop vac and HEPA filtration was not important, I believe this vacuum would be my choice as it has the biggest bang for the buck.One other plus to the DEWALT vacs is the carrying pouch that mounts to the frame. I really have found that i don’t use it for attachments, but instead for rags or paper towels, cleaning supplies or other tools i might use while i am using the vacuum. The other advantage for me is that all of the DEWALT vacuums use common tools. I now have so many interchangeable pieces and parts that i can pretty much reach anything - cobwebs in 12 ft ceilings or reaching under or through most obstructions.EDIT: 6 months in and after extensive use of this vacuum, I may like it even more. I have been re insulating ducts where the fiberglass had just disintegrated. I have sucked up large amounts of material in tight cramped quarters. Under a house, I would have thought a shop vac would drive me crazy after running for hours - but it hasn’t. What’s more I have gotten this vacuum into some really tight spots. I also have used the blower function and in tight spots, I have to say it provides a controlled sweeping. My flexvolt blower basically blew things from one side of the house to other and stirred up dust, I sawed a handle off a broom and used that until I came up with the shop vac. It actually may blow as much as it sucks...Remained convinced for one shop vac households, this is the optimum vacuum.

Did a woman design this!? Ha! Way to go DeWalt! This shop vac is amazing, and in my opinion, it's better than all the rest simply because it has a carrying bag right on it for all the attachments (with room still for an extension cord or supplies you may have) and it has a handle which is where the cord wraps around, and the rubber thing to secure the hose. I love this thing! I bought an extra extension wand (from another seller on Amazon) and it fits perfectly so now it's a normal wand height so it's easier on my back. The suction is great, just as one would expect. I'm super happy with this purchase and can definitely recommend! If I do have any issues after a handful of times using it, I will update my review. I was contemplating between this 9 galon and the 6 galon. I only need the 6 galon but I really wanted the added carrying bag and the bigger floor nozzle, and now that it's all said and done, I am very happy with my decision!!

Hi suction power, easy to clean, simple for messy pickups. I bought for my shop & happen to have standing water that wasn't drying. Two tankfuls were sucked up in minutes. Cleaning & drying for a couple of hours and it sucked up the wood detritus without clogging or blowing chaff out the back. Very impressed!With the wheels it's a little higher & wider than I'd have liked and the electrical cord is too short but these are nits. Great value & excellent performance.

It beats any shopvac I’ve had before. My first job was to pick up ceramic and grout piece after removing an old floor. Wow! Sucked everything right in. Big chunks were lifted right off the floor and in they went. Very impressed with that one. The weels roll very smooth too. Couldn’t ask for better. Great product that i recommend

Love this vac .I purchased for inside my home .No other vac has worked as well .I always have problems with clogged hoses but not with this guy .1 dog , two cats and 4 grandchildren that visit often are no match for this guy , even sucks up crayons , broken small toys and bits left over from the dogs chewing ie. stuffing and rubber that are left around . Bulky for the house and I use an extension cord as the one on it is not as long as I liked but worth it .Would not recommend to be carried up stairs.
