The Dewalt 20V MAX Cordless Vacuum delivers professional cleaning power without the constraints of mains electricity. This cordless wet-dry vacuum operates on Dewalt's 20V MAX battery system, making it perfect for jobsites and areas without power access.
The unit features a 2 gallon tank capacity that handles both wet and dry materials effectively. The integrated 5-foot crush-resistant hose provides excellent durability and flexibility for extended use. On-board storage keeps accessories organised and ready for transport.
A HEPA-rated washable filter traps particles down to 0.3 microns and cleans easily with tap water. The vacuum includes crevice and wide nozzle attachments for versatile cleaning applications across different surfaces and tight spaces.
No, this is sold as a tool-only unit. You need to purchase a Dewalt 20V MAX battery and charger separately. The vacuum is compatible with all Dewalt 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries and a higher capacity battery will provide longer runtime than the standard 25-minute average.
Yes, this vacuum handles both wet and dry pickup without requiring filter changes or component swaps. The HEPA filter works for both applications, though you should clean it after wet use to prevent mould or odour development. The 2 gallon tank capacity is suitable for significant liquid spills.
The HEPA filter is washable and reusable. Simply remove it from the vacuum and rinse with tap water or use compressed air to remove dry debris. Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling. Regular cleaning maintains optimal suction performance and extends filter life significantly.
The vacuum includes a 5-foot crush-resistant hose, crevice tool attachment, wide nozzle tool attachment and the washable HEPA filter. All accessories store on-board for convenient transport. The hose diameter is 1.25 inches and may require adapters for connection to power tools.
Average runtime is approximately 25 minutes with a standard 20V MAX battery, though this varies based on suction demand and battery capacity. Higher amp-hour batteries provide longer runtime. The vacuum automatically stops when battery voltage drops too low to prevent battery damage.
While this vacuum can collect workshop debris, some users report limited suction for fine sawdust when connected to power tools. It works well for general cleanup but may not provide sufficient suction for continuous dust extraction during heavy sanding or cutting operations compared to dedicated workshop extractors.
The vacuum operates at 31 dB, which is relatively quiet compared to mains-powered shop vacuums. This low noise level makes it suitable for use in residential areas or noise-sensitive environments without disturbing neighbours or colleagues during operation.
The 1.25-inch hose may not directly connect to all Dewalt power tools without adapters. Some users have successfully modified connections, but you may need to purchase additional adapters or hose extensions. The suction power may be insufficient for heavy-duty dust extraction during continuous tool operation.
