Customer Reviews for DEWALT 2 Gal. MAX Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool Only)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me preface by saying that I own all DeWalt tools. I pick on Ryobi guys, I take pride in owning quality and DeWalt hasn't let me down...until this vacuum. It sucks, in so many ways. First, try to vacuum, this thing has one job. Miserable fail, zero power. If you manage to pick up some random dust bunnies, try dumping the canister. Terrible design, this thing makes a bigger mess than it can clean up. Rare miss. Buy a Ryobi vacuum I guess.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the vac after many years of Prospecting Crevices for gold. I have recovered more gold since I’ve been using it than all the years that I used just my hands. I have went through several hoses and vac accessories than the vac. I will purchase another when this vac dies. 5 stars

I really like the size and power it has. It's not in the way when your not using it. Easy to load and unload from the truck.

This vacuum works really good. I love having a nice portable unit that I can quickly clean up a mess with. My only complaint is that the hose keeps coming out as I use it. I did a quick fix with a screw in the top to keep it from turning.

It is sounds silly to own three shop vacs but they each do the job they were designed for. This is not as powerful or as big as some of my other ones. But, is it easy to use, Easy to carry, Easy to transport and has plenty of power for everyday life. If you are a home owner and just needed something to use everyday, this one it it. I also like that is woks with all the new DeWalt batteries. 60V and 20V. I purchased the vacuum with no batteries because I already had some for my other tools.

First I bought this with an expected pickup date between 11th and 16th. But it wasnt available until the 17th. Then it is supposed to take both 18 and 20v batteries and the model I recieved only accepts 20v batteries.

I have been through three of these. None lasting more then a couple of weeks. I took the first one to the dewalt warranty location. They had to fix something on the mother board. But then it gave out again my second time using it. So I bought another one. Same thing. Took it back and replaced it. Again. It gave out. So I took this one apart myself to see what it was. I’m a dewalt guy through and through and stand by their name. But dang, this product has done nothing but let me down, every stinking time. It sure makes it hard to run a business if your tools don’t work.

This has performed quite well for the small jobs I use it for. I'm glad I purchased the 2 gallon as apposed to the smaller unit.

I was drawn to this little vac for it's portability and how well made it is. I really like the fact that the long and narrow attachment is integrated into the handle, that is a really smart design. This vacuum is perfect for what I need it for. It should not be purchased as a (Primary) shop vacuum as it is designed to be portable - hence the option for 120V or 18-20V batteries. This thing works great for small jobs. Also, the bottom has a really neat little reservoir that holds debris and it is very easy to dump. This thing is awesome for what it is!

I bought it for the specific purpose of cleaning up around the wood stove. Ash, small wood fragments, and dust. It works fine.

This vacuum is great for small jobs, such as, cleaning up ashes around my wood stove. Because it is wireless and battery powered, set-up time is very minimal: just grab it, turn it on, vacuum. Even though the replacement filters were a little hard to find, I did find one, and was hoping to find a bag to go inside, but didn't. Suction is adequate, power from the battery is much longer than I need for any one time. The attachments are good and I'm happy that they both have homes on the machine case itself. The volume of the operation noise is a little concerning to me, but not bad when everyone is awake. Ease of cleaning is also one of the pluses for this machine. And the fact that it's a wet/dry vac is about 50% of the reason I bought it, as we entertain a lot, and people spill drinks a lot, so I have to clean up water a lot. The vac is small enough to store in a little window box, the hose is long enough to do the job, and the on/off switch is conveniently located right under the handle, so one hand carrying/turning on and off is possible. This is a great machine! The battery and charger should come with it at a discounted price! The battery and charger costs more than the vac! SPS

Gave it a 4 star because it could use a bit more suction and the inlet from the hose into the vac makes a 90deg turn that seems to clog very easy. The vac itself is compact, sturdy, easy to clean, user friendly. I would buy again.

I have this vacuum and it works "ok". Then I was using my co workers milwaukee, it has more suction and works better. I checked out Project Farm on YouTube. Dewalt was one of the worst. I am selling mine and getting the Milwaukee.

Great portable unit. Excellent for spot clean ups,stairs,and vehicles. A little bit bulky, but still serves the purpose well. If you want something more portable, I would go with the smaller unit. Good suction, not great. The only downside. Still beats dragging out extention cords!

This vacuum misses the mark. I’m an admitted DeWalt fanboy and have a shop full of their tools both corded and battery operated but this vacuum doesn’t suck well. The only plus is that it’s portable and it’s a wet vac but that’s about it. It’s definitely not pulling much out of the floorboard of my truck. I definitely wouldn’t purchase this again.

Works very well on small stuff. I added the "sock" over the filter for dry vacuum just to make it easier to clean. I did have it clog once when vacuuming up some larger sawdust and wood chips, but it was easy to clean out.

This 20 volt vacuum cleaner is what I was expecting. Picks up normal debris, very easy to empty container. Works very well in my little wood shop.

My son loves it. Got it for him for Christmas. So convenient

Works great l give it a 9

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in May 2023. Used it all summer on our boat which included sucking 10-20 gallons of water out of our inflatable dinghy on several occasions. Also used it to suck water out of the bilge and for general clean up jobs. No issues. Only reason for 4 starts vs. 5 is that the housing is needlessly bulky. Would also have been nice to have a built-in pour spout when emptying the thing.

Not real strong suction but good for loose small jobs.

Powerful vacuum very convenient
