Shop Vacuum DXV12P

Great quality, power, works very fast. My Husband loves the way the Dewalt Vacuum wet dry cleans, easy to use and very light in weight. Great value for the money.

This DEWALT wet/dry vac is an absolute beast in the best way. With a 5.5 HP motor and 12-gallon capacity, it tackles everything from sawdust to spilled water without breaking a sweat. I use it in my workshop and garage, and it’s handled heavy-duty messes like a pro. The 27-foot reach (thanks to the long cord and hose) means I don’t have to keep unplugging it, and the built-in blower port is perfect for clearing out leaves and debris. I also love the sturdy casters and strong handles—they make it super easy to move around. Setup was simple, and the accessory bag keeps everything organized. If you need a reliable, high-powered vacuum that’s built for serious jobs, this one’s a no-brainer. DEWALT nailed it with this design!

So, I have only just set it up and used it once, but I have some opinions already. I am tired of buying a new upright vacuum every few year that sucks up socks and clogs, etc. So I decided to get this as my home vacuum. I am going to get a long extension hose so I can reach my whole house. So far, I used the provided brush attachment on my carpet and it worked quite well. Not as well as an upright with a powered brush roll, but mostly adequate. Everything else it does FAR better then an upright, other then it's maneuverability, hence the 20 foot extension hose I will get. This thing is loud, but quieter then others of similar size. It sucks incredibly well, even sucked up the dead leaves in my entryway. This thing will take on anything. I will edit if anything changes. My only complaint, it on the power cord, at the plug end, there is a little half circle thing meant to grab onto the other end of the cord. Almost all vacuums have this. But on this machine the plug ends half circle is too small to be of use.

Honest review here: I’m very impressed with this 12 gallon DeWalt shop vac. It is very well made unlike many other shop vac’s out there. I owned both a craftsman and Stealth. Both of those don’t compare with this one. I returned the Stealth last week and gave my Craftsman away. The craftsman is definitely not made well anymore! At least DeWalt kept the same quality for 50 years unlike the other brands! This unit is very nice. It is medium to heavy at 25 lbs but with the wheels on it, it is very lite to roll around. The build quality is very good. The hose is very big and strong at 7 feet long. The HEPA filter is very large with good quality. The wheels are very sturdy and strong. They swivel 360 degrees without any issues at all even with 12 gallons of water in it. The wheels are made very well and will not break or wear out. The attachments are also made very well. They fit perfectly on the hose and extension tubes. What I like the most about this shop vac is that when you attach the extension tubes and attachment you hear no air sounds leaking in. All other shop vac’s have an air leaking problem. The motor is exactly 5.5 HP Peak. Others list their’s at 5.5 HP peak but in fact they are not that high. You are lucky to get 4.5 HP from them. The motor is not loud at all. I added a diffuser to my shop vac which cuts down on the noise and air exhaust air flow. This really helps. See pictures! The attachment bag/basket is awesome!! It holds everything plus the 2 extra attachments that I bought in addition to what comes with this shop vac. The hose strap is simply the best. I secure the hose tightly to the machine. The power cord wrap around the handle was genius. Everything about this shop vac is A+++++++ in my book. I highly recommend this to anyone! Must buy!!! I got a great deal on it as Amazon priced this as 30 day lowest price. They beat all the big box stores pricing. I hope my review helps your decision in what shop vac to buy. I bought this unit based on the high reviews so reviews do help in more ways than one.

Muy potente aspira con muchas fuerza

I didn't believe the other "too much sauce" reviews, but having purchased and used it I have too agree: TOO MUCH SAUCE! If you have something vacuumable within six inches of the hose, theres a very good thing it ends up inside the vacuum. I used to have a shopvac with a 1" hose and a "normal" level of suction, so I could pick up the bulk of the stuff in my work shop that didn't need to be considered like saw dust, grab any bits or nuts that may have fallen, then finish the job. This vacuum acts like a magnet. Anything near it shoots up into the cannister. It's not overly loud, but I did find that the included filter/bag aren't quite effective enough. When safe to do so, I usually have ipods in my ears at max volume; I accidentally hit the power button for the vacuum, didn't hear it, but noticed the distinct smell the exhaust makes. Probably harmless, but if good filtration is a concern do a bit of reading to see if there's a filter for this beast with better HEPA type filtration.

Fonction parfaite

This was easy to set up and it is very powerful. I have used it for draining the hot tub of remaining water and it worked remarkably well. I also used it in the garage to suck up all of the leaves and acorns from a broken leaf bag. Worked beautifully.

Nothing negative to say, best vacuum I’ve ever owned, we purchased a second one and it’s still in the box now they aren’t available, can’t believe my good luck. We use it at our millwork shop around the CNC to suck up extra dust and debris left by the dust collector. So happy we have a second one as it’s by far the best shop vacuum ever.
