Light, portable, versatile, and powerful, DeWalt's new little vac is a great invention. We love that it's powered by a 12- to 18-volt battery, allowing for use when the power's off or you're too far from an outlet, and that you can also plug it in for continuous use. If you're a DeWalt fan, it's likely you already have the 12- to 18-volt batteries and the charger, so the fact that this is sold without those won't affect you. But that's a change we'd like to see DeWalt make. Other than that, it couldn't be better. The five-foot hose is flexible, and the cleaning tools fit on board. The suction's impressive, whether on AC or DC power. Unlike other wet-dry vacs, you don't have to change out the filter innards when switching from wet to dry, and we just love that. Just rinse it off to clean it. Its high-efficiency filter is listed at trapping 99.7 percent of dust, and in our book, less dust in the air is a good thing. When you're wet-vacuuming, just empty the tank through the drain port. It's light as a feather, super-portable, and plenty powerful.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

It makes sense November 10, 2008

I bought the DC500 vaccum nearly 2 years ago and I have been using it a lot. It is not very powerful compared to a large shop-vac but extremely convenient and that's why I use it so much.
I recomend it if you have other Dewalt tols and batteries and if you're willing to accept trade-offs: it is not perfect but works well.
I use it corded when cutting or sanding and it has plenty of power to suck sawdust. i use it cordless when I need something portable (clean car). The battery drains in about 15 minutes. On one hand a quick drain is a problem but it also shows that it has a high power. You can't have you cake and eat it too so I figure it is a god sign that the battery drains quickly.
The power is the same corded/cordless.
The filter is great and durable (i am still using the same one). there is no bags needed, just clean the filter!
A word of caution: it is not weather-proof, don't let water get inside from the top. There is a sensitive electronic board unprotected. And don't remove the filter when vaccuming water (my neighbour killed the first one doing that).
Improvement suggestion: weather seal the electronic board; perfect the attachement (they sometimes fall off), reduce noise.
 Overall good, could use more power July 10, 2008

This is NOT a full-blown shop vac. If you're looking for that kind of power, you're going to be disappointed. It has more power than other portable vacs, much more than a dustbuster type vac.
For light vacuuming around the shop or for portable use, like in the car, this vacuum works well. I like the fact that you can plug it in when you have a job that would take too long for the batteries to last. Overall, it's a good portable vacuum, although it's a little expensive for what it is.
 Powerful, convenient May 26, 2008

This has become a must-have tool for me. It is powerful and easy to carry. I did not think it would be this good when I bought it, and I cannot understand anyone not thinking it is great. Now, it does not come with a battery or charger, and may not be worthwhile if one needs to also buy those, but for those of us who already have the battery, this is a very handy tool. In fact, I think it is a good buy even if you need to buy the battery and charger (available cheap on Ebay or Amazon). Cheers.
