DEWALT9 Gallon Wet/Dry VAC, Heavy-Duty Shop Vacuum with Attachments, 5 Peak HP, with Blower Function, DXV09PA

This vac is great. Picks up everything with plenty of power. Mine got left outside all winter due to a mold mite infestation and it still works perfectly even though it has been rained on and sat in snow and ice. The insert bags are good if your sucking up smaller debris but it is a good idea to remove if your sucking up larger things.

I can't stop raving about this shop vac ever since it arrived. Everything about it is SO NIFTY. You can fit all of the attachments and spare bags in this little carrier in the back, and wheels pop on for easier maneuvering.I bought it because I have a monitor lizard in a large enclosure and I need to change the substrate once a month. My $900 Dyson Airblade choked and had to be repeatedly shaken to function again after it sucked up maybe a cubic inch of this mix of coconut fiber and orchid bark, so I got a hand vac that worked fine for suction, but had to be constantly emptied and I kept murdering my back trying to maneuver it in there while my lizard grew cold and impatient. When all the vacuums fail, I have to manually scoop all that substrate out. Which sucks, and not in the good effective way.Now I'm wondering where the Dewalt shop vac was my whole life!No more backaches! No more manually scooping gross substrate with a coffee scoop and still not quite getting all of it! No more constantly emptying a tiny reservoir not designed to suck up wood chips, dead bugs, and clods of lizard poop! It sucks like it's trying to grab my attention on Redtube!It got the job done in barely 10 minutes. I just used the hose and one of the hard extensions, no nozzle attachment, and it grabbed everything in its path so I could lay down nice clean substrate. 9 gallons is the perfect size for 1-2 rock and water monitor enclosures without having to change the bag too often, if Dewalt makes larger capacities I'd recommend those if you're a reptile breeder or keep far more reptiles than I do.My only complaint is that since it's corded, it doesn't go very far even with an extension cord. Maneuvering is a little awkward as a result. But that is some AMAZING suction, I even started using it with the wide floor-brush attachment as a regular vacuum! Sucks up so much dust, I won't have allergy symptoms for months!VERY good value for the money given how much I was gouged on that Dyson and it was only a little over twice what I paid for the hand vac.

worked great right out of the box. very powerful and I was surprised at how quiet it is. Way softer than the last on I had.

5 stars all the way!!! This vacuum is better then the ones at car wash, alotta suction and the unit is very very durable i mean c mon its a dewalt, alotta diff suction heads to choose from to, i love this unit its not very heavy overall, id def recommend, good deal

Works really well and very pleased with purchase.

I was on the fence with a couple different brands, an am glad that i went with Dewalt for this shop vac. I wasn’t too fond of how it was shipped. It was shipped right in its original box and there’s nothing holding it secure in the box. So it’s free to move and when being shipped it’s easily at risk to get cracked or broken. Just something to keep in mind when buying. But overall it arrived in one piece and I am very satisfied with its suction and variety of attachments.

Excellent piece to my shop

This thing is the real deal. I had another brand prior to this and I wont buy anything but a Dewalt. Suction is great, it’s pretty durable, and the size is perfect for what I need it for.
