Overview

DEWALT built this cordless hand vacuum for jobsite cleanup, running off the brand's own battery platform. A HEPA cartridge filter catches fine drywall and wood dust, and an extension tube with a floor nozzle turns the handheld into a floor cleaner, with an LED light for dark corners.

Fine dust control leads here: the HEPA filter handles drywall and wood dust, and the attachment kit reaches floors, corners, overhead spots and vehicle interiors. The battery is not in the box, and wet messes are off limits.

Who it's for

Jobsites and home workshops with drywall, sawdust and loose screws suit this dry hand vacuum, especially where DEWALT packs are already on hand. Households wanting a ready-to-use vacuum out of the box, or wet pickup, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • HEPA filter for fine dust
  • 6 attachments cover floor to overhead
  • LED light for dark areas
  • Extension tube and floor nozzle included
Cons
  • Battery not included
  • Dry debris only, no wet use
  • Loud at a listed 87 dB
  • Single speed setting

Performance notes

Airflow and fine dust capture are set by the motor and the HEPA cartridge, which DEWALT rates for OSHA housekeeping rules on drywall dust. Runtime depends on the battery pack fitted, which the listing does not specify. The extension tube and floor nozzle change reach, not suction, so floor work runs at the same single speed.
